building poems

by Charlie Morgan

change the name.
change the city.
the day in time.
the day of the month.
what he's doing.
what she's doing.
what they don't do.
mention their hearts;
and talk of their dreams.

mix/match. stir.
start this way, this time.
switch the next time.

repeat as needed.

Most of life is repetition, or as someone said "just one damn thing after another". You are dead on as always, Bro. Just like a man with posters of both Einstein and Dale Earnhardt on his office wall - the office being space stolen by one man and given to him. But then what do we really own in this life? As Merton said "when we get to heaven, there won't be much of us there". But then I digress....

kinda like taking a bunch of words and throwing them into a hat and throwing them on the ground and seeing what comes out randomly...sometimes poetry is like that :-) ~JPP
