In the Living of My Age by Joe CramerIn the living of my age
I get caught up in this detail,
The minutia, the mundane.
The pain of everyday living
Becomes so very unbearable,
And yet, somehow tolerable.
It's an ache in my head, giving
Me a headache, all the same.
Somehow I rise above, I rail
Against my supposed rage. 12/30/2008 Author's Note: ...a recent implosion poem....

Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 12/30/08 at 06:35 PM Sometimes your writes just scream Bukowski at me. This is one of those. The unsettling notion that there is not much more in life sometimes, or ever, is something hard to think about. ~JPP |
