Infinitus Poetus Interruptus, Period

What’s left to do 
We never do, 
 
And that’s all 
We ever do, over 
And over 
 
Again, never quite 
Getting over it 
To no good 
 
End.

Lost Cause

Where
 
Our fractured memory finds us 
Gathered on a barren shore 
 
At twilight, trying vainly 
To put the pieces together 
 
Once more, our heads teeming 
With once fanciful images 
 
That have no bearing anymore.

Pavlovian Poetics

Time to spit it out— 
While you were 
 
Whiling time away trying 
To find those perfect 
 
Aperçus to define a life 
Charmed to the fullest, 
 
The ingredient par excellence that was
Always found to be missing somehow, 
 
Was lollygagging on the tip 
Of a most salivating frazzled tongue.

Ode Against Benumbing Ennui

sing  
 
if 
you 
must 
 
sing 
your 
heart 
out, 
 
sing
 
even
though 
you 
don’t 
feel 
 
like 
it.

Stoic Curmudgeon's Dire Prognostication

Nonchalant neophytes, always keep 
Foremost in mind hindsight 
 
Works best when all hope 
For better foresight sucks, 
 
Stuck in the muck 
Of its gutters, 
 
Forever at rest.
