doctor, it hurts when
i do this
well, don´t do it
then..

a very old joke
but not  
bad
philosophy-

ignoring enviroment
conditioning
and our duality

love-hate
pleasure-pain
if it hurts-desist..

ii

doctor,i have four minutes
to live!-
what can you do
for me!?

(he could boil an egg)
life´s brevity..
man´s faith in
modernity..(?)

iii

doctor,
i love her
and yet
she seems
not and that is
no joke..

doctor,what happens
if we die in our sleep
we shall sigh and laugh
go deeper and deep

and  no longer have
or have not-but weep,
like the little waif-
for shall we reap

our just deserts..if
our hearts, can keep
if ourselves hate
our goodness reaps

naked and loveless..
our faith a high leap
a time to pay
(and the cost  steep)

if,we die in our sleep
dreams of today
nightmares.. creep..
away...

doctor, will live long
in great duels
of love and passion
vanquished fool

all  have wronged
faith renew
great fusion
honour accrued-

the dragon
yore the true
banner wins
silver and blue!

for the maiden
evil through
the black knight in
the dust too-

at sundown
lady wooed
a goblet of wine
the gallant..

what become of memory
term is away
sentimentality

less mercy
happy
see

like we would say..
what did we  say?
what to say..
Michael John Oct 2021
what become of memory
some die raving
over triviality

while others say
mass murdering
that´s the way!

go happy
smiling
and care free..

what become of
memory
we sitting by the
sea

i watched your ruddy
cheeks
and following
the

waves
that hardly
bother
to break

we are but still
there
your eyes shining
and shiny hair..

why,we still habit
the cave
(abe-normal brain)
on fridays
time may save-

a large non-
descriptive
box
may-may wax and
wane

life is odd
and love is too
the certain craved
only to find

the same
ah but when it
has gone
then..
