i agree
by Charlie Morgani leaned over toward him; Issa told me,
"a bath when you're born; a bath when you die.
how stupid."
i fell into a slumber, to sleep on the idea.
waking, i grinned then my heart was heavy.
how wonderful.
and man claims the land, Ali's land of syllogisms.
Jeff's land of the world as it is, now; to him.
and Chris' land without her. George's gained knowledge
Paige's land of animalia; surround sound of flora.
her camera already at the ready, click. click.
captured for the life of images; Darwinianism.
all go back to Issa; aren't we all stupid.
we see the shooter, then we allege. go to court.
and a comma, misplaced allows all to be lost.
i scream, Issa, Issa. please come back to life.
make fun of us and our big brain disease;
pick-up Vonnegut on your way; your humor will
carry you both through the Universe together.
we'll stay, die...laugh when the child is born;
cry when a child dies. have none for ourselves.
a single tear washes the cold off the Universe.
i will cry no more forever. i am done. finito.

| Posted by A. Paige White on 06/16/10 at 08:44 PM Sounds like your universe is arguing with you, darlin. pssst... it won't win(k)! I'm missing my camera. Course I had no idea I'd be gone so long either... I relate to the tone of this one today. Finito. Like Joe David though, I too doubt you are really done. Me either. God will wink at us again... someday. Maybe tomorrow! Is that a symptom of big brain disease? to hope to hope again... Hugs! |
| Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 06/18/10 at 07:18 PM the birth and death idea is prevalent in many places in this. with the first idea I thought of the movie Big Fish. a bath when born and in death. it's a compelling thought, whether literal or not. the poem begins and ends, as do all things, except Styrofoam perhaps. i think you have done a good job capturing us all in this. thank you chaz...i have grown to look for your poetry and for your words...I am proud to say that I have known you. ~JPP |
