Unutterable Poetic Aural Disorder

Dear distinguished post- 
Modern colleagues—shout 
This dictum conundrum out 
 
Loud and clear 
If you can 
Hear it— 
 
Beyond silence there 
Can be no absence 
Of silence to speak of, 
 
Once the listener listening 
For the sound of his own 
Voice in the wilderness, 
 
Finally discovers 
It’s long gone over the hill, 
Taking his person with him.

Emendating Diogenes The Dog

Who was said 
To have said so downright
Astutely all men think
 
But for some baffling 
Reason forgot to add 
Most of the time they
 
Just sit broodingly
Back on their haunches
And do nothing
 
But think they think.

Medium Of Augury

Some will 
Tell you your future 
By reading your palm, 
Others by perusing 
The intricate 
Patterns left in the dregs 
Of a demitasse that has been 
Turned upside-down 
And righted again, still 
Others will insist 
On a close examination 
Of the entrails 
Of some slaughtered 
Hapless animal, but whatever 
Your choice choose wisely, 
And with plenty of foresight,
As you have only one life to lose— 
Don’t waste it.

Well-Addressed Aporia Of The Disenchanted Man

Bah, absolute 
Humbug I say—why 
Do we call it 
 
A brand-new day 
When there’s nothing 
New under the sun,
 
And hand-me-down
Habits continue 
To wear us away?

Ossuary Dust

For those grief-stricken 
To the marrow, black is 
 
Never black enough, white 
Has to be washed clean 
 
To the bone, ashes are 
Best left alone.

Definitely Not My Cup Of Tea

Get outta here, cupcake! 
Of what use is a slam 
Bang-up ejaculating protesting 
Poet who loves sucking 
Up the limelight but lacks 
The balls to give snow- 
Flakes like us the finger?
