Luck of the Draw


Bored to death with life,
Why does he think it so

Uncommonly oxymoron
To consider himself

Lucky in that
He’s still in the running

For the surefire ticket
That will take him out

Of the ordinary.

Huuklyeand Cinquor on Why Hubris Is Blasphemous

Hell, every time I swear
I’m one step nearer to God,

Some cloven-hoofed preacher
Puts his foot in my mouth.

Moderator’s comments: What the devil, Cinquor, watch your step and cheer up; Christmas is just around the corner!

Dream Scene

On a barren, godforsaken crest,
A great snowy owl leaving

Her neophyte alone
On the edge of their nest—

The nest a huge cotton swab,
A cloudlike canopy covering

The uppermost reaches
Of a lone pine tree.

Whenever I Look Your Way, You Look the Other

Solipsist, why

Are you always answering
My questions with another

Question?

.

Because that blank
Look in your eye

Has that insistent self-
Same look of my questioning

Glance, don’t you see why?
