Vicious Cycle Of Procrastination, Or One Frog Good, Two Frogs Better

What is never 
Explained satisfactorily 
And always 
 
Left for much, 
Much later is why 
Time after time 
 
You need 
To ask yourself why.

Don't Just Stand There, Poet

All those knotholes 
There in the dark 
 
Oak-paneled room, 
How is it 
 
You cannot see 
The one 
 
Bump on a log?

Grave Monumental Dedication

Reel off another 
One of those patriotic 
Pat pablum paeans of yours 
Praising the glory of war over 
My dead body and imagine 
Once and for all those numberless 
Numbing skulls turning one 
Deaf ear to you after another.

Illusive Lantern

When you write 
Poetry, they ask me 
 
Do you do it 
In the morning,
 
At noon or night? 
And does it make 
 
Any difference 
As long as you 
 
Do it right? All I can say is 
I’ve spent most 
 
Of my life, right or wrong, 
Looking askance 
 
At that slant glint 
Of piercing light, still 
 
Waiting for the first sign 
I was right.

Miraculous Feat Transpiring

To happen 
To see 
 
A star falling is not 
So exceptional 
 
A thing, to see it 
In broad day- 
 
Light is far 
And away 
 
Quite another thing.
