Hope Dies Last (Seize The Day)

Easy does it, hombre— 
Having never lived 
 
Fully, clearly you could still 
Die just as easily, say 
 
Tomorrow, if not today.

Minor Ukrainian Rhapsody, March 21, 2022

a pity 
 
you’re not here 
to witness, Doc— 
 
you see not so 
 
much depends 
upon that fire- 
 
baked engine red 
harrow now caked 
 
with coats of maculate 
brown flaking rust beside 
 
a sky-blue pond in which reflected 
puffs of dirty gunmetal grey
 
clouds scud by and no white 
chickens in sight.

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.
