the main obstacle to personal happiness
is anxiety
the main source of this anxiety
is your mother and her kind
there, it is now said

An email never sent

The Austrians practically invited the Germans to take over. Not a shot was fired, it was a political union. Changing names back and forth [salsbury steak instead of hamburgers] in this country is a childish spite that proves nothing, but still works; anybody have a french fry lately?

all right now listen to this:

you all must stop composing
your thoughts and ideas
via poetry
by using the first person singular

does everybody hear this
on HELLO POETRY?

do ya’ got it?

avoid using the ‘’eye’’ word
especially at the start of your verse
it lays too much on the table
it’s ‘’we’’ people
‘’we’’
find the guy that promoted individualism first
and strangle ‘im dead
WE ARE ALL THE SAME
now write…….

he was a person just like you or me


Raffaello died at 37
in between he created
unlike any other

counter movements
formed three hundred years
after his death
[the first modern art revolution   The Pre-Raphaelites]

that is how large he was

If you are able to live briefly
choose your time well
and large was the Florentine
1510 year of our lord

a time of spires rising toward heaven
and palettes of form and emotion
a short life as masterpiece

light and jolly
that’s my name
but call me _
just the same
see I arrived
in stance and pomp
then stole away
to this worlds romp
and I spread a whisper
‘bout the unseen
how it falls short
to reality’s scene
‘’Hard Headed Facts, folks
why I’m a living pun’’
slammed shut then chased
forever on the run

just barely hangin’ on

can actually feel

the released temper chemicals

into my bloodstream unwanted

I change none the less

why is this subconscious discharge necessary?

useful against predators

what else does this cranium

have in store for the mood of tomorrow?

enough already

from a faraway point of me
comes a click of understanding
the gears mesh: I am enlightenment
my soul less of a mystery
a mean little three point landing
only time dissolves this sentiment
then a distant echo as punishment
