Tantrums Of Genius
Stay away from The - Mart
and it’s shopping cart
with a bad wheel,
Write on paper with
disbanded,forgotten
outlawed cursive,
not staring into
a computer with pop up adds
and trivial social media,
Have Tantrums Of Genius
Sip on a beer
or some wine
and close your eyes
in silence,
listen to the thoughts
twirl in your mind
like a Van Gogh painting,
paying attention to detail
as the thick blue colors
swirl into each other
creating a vibrant sky.
Listen to Mozart
softly inducing stimulation,
master’s calling through
space and time
telling you
of their frustration
in finding anyone
to listen to their message.
Read Ezra Pound
and all the others
the poet’s
who had the knowledge
the insight
to warn you of
a place with no creation,
filled with people
without imagination,
those who never had
Tantrum's Of Genius
Feel the emotion
as you start to pace
the floor,and look
out of a window,
and for the first time
realize that you
are surrounded by beauty
and you have ignored
every flower
and all of the color
that has not been recognized.
Maybe with anger
or with regret
have a
Tantrum Of Genius
As the truth
softly show’s itself
like gazing into
a Dali painting
slowly discovering
what it is you are looking at.
promise yourself
to often have
Tantrums Of Genius.
