Poems
Sep 2016
Young, Middle aged, Old, Dead
Smoking a cigarette with the Schizophrenic Socrates.
He tells me I'm being childish; young.
Few ways past that-- and good!
Growth!, Growth!, Natural growth!
Childishness and impish hormones--such inspirations!
Motivations until the paling end!
How stupid, how dumb,
How backwards I had it then-- Good!
A new lesson flourishing!
Sad destruction by his standards; perspective!
New reasons to speak, finding reason to grow!
Groom! Growth! Groom!
Loudness and disorder, Anarchy! Freedom!
Freedom of tongue and mind! Broken back, broken arms, broken neck! Purpose!
Loitering and loathing! End your voyage laughing!
Curiosity has been struck, tell them to be young, tell them to be middle aged, and old, dead! Immortal!
The observation of self must continue past myself!
Study me!
Study yourself!
Always!
