Perambulatory Archilochos

To each his own, 
Under blossoming 
 
Dogwood and oak, one 
Person at once poet 
 
And mercenary, out 
Walking through ragged 
 
Paper thin fragments 
Of a cutting mind, still 
 
Trying to get it all 
Together, one fragile 
 
Piece at a time.

Coeval European Cutting-edge Theater, 2022 AD

Unfolding in front
 
Of heady, blood- 
Shot eyes, the worst 
 
Possible scenario, most 
Horrible war embroidered 
 
With the best 
Intentions of all 
 
Those terrible 
Hacks-in-waiting 
 
Behind rustling, heavy 
Curtains.

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.
