sometimes it does

by Charlie Morgan

i remember it like it happened this morning;

the day t.v. programming was so inane, so vacuous.
i, too, that i found myself choosing to watch another
kill-all movie: STEVEN SEGAL, another of Dante's Hells.

upon that dilemma of my seeing myself naked as Adam & Eve
and feeling as much disambiguation as to shade the day's Sun,
i let the King sleep; wile away his hours of recuperation.

day is brought to you in a foreign language
and the word for the day: hoardes.

congestion of space, of meaning, of essence. confusion, delusion.
illusion. three men in a boat judging a sunset in dynamic laws.
daily, poets face the page. the relentless, absorbing page, soul-exposer.

seems a stunt pulled by the gods, sent from God-as we, and dance
becomes our way of repayment for delivery of goods, abilities.
a crack in the windshield of life can worsen or shatter, not heal.

sometimes it gets so different, we each have to start using words.

It is that last line...that makes this poem a brilliant piece. I enjoyed this thoroughly through and through.
