Best Digestible Poems

1000 miles per hour scientists have calculated the Earth’s rotation
And 25000 miles in 24 hours according to their quotation
They say it is the distance from the sun qualifies their concession
But it is the facts that they failed to mention

The fact in the matter is, it...

I think, and you speak my thoughts completely.
Wherein lies truth, if when I die, I lose myself.
My thought and deed lying fallow in decaying tissue.
So I write to save me.
You are in every thought, every deed,
every movement that I make.
You complete me.
When I awake, the...

In late on a late night from a long journey,
Barely in the door 
She's telling funny stories of her own misfortunes.
The comedy of errors that harried her homewards.


The young woman who will always be our child
Has the lot of us laughing
When we should be asleep
At...

An', as [music] blowed an' blowed,
I often looked up at the sky
an' assed meself the question--
what is the stars,
what is the stars?

Our sacred choir
prepares a new anthem
which, in summary, goes:

Mindbodies unfold from embryonic seed
toward full living-loving 
sense-synthesizing leaf production,
full YangPower during warm light-drenched days of summer,
Earth’s rotation fuelling healthy growth,
yet weedy monopolizing tendencies as well.

Seed unfolding is our first longing half, 
maturing toward healthy EarthTribe speciation,
in fullest neurosensory glory.

Our second half returns fading leaf...

I have slept but I have not slept
I have not slept but I have slept
For the first time in two years
I slept without a word of care
No codes, no crossroads
No railroads, no shiploads
No lizards no toads,
No frogs crawling in my throat
I had a digestible supper
Sweet...

senators seeing stapled starkers
Loopholes. Lanky long. Llama Klamath llama please do not lean on those bent gables. For gables are gargling and gargling sounds very eerily similar to a gaggle of geese. Mission endeavour is a plane in a prism. A pram. Circling. But not...

What did your grandmother tell you about happiness?

Bottom line,
All you have is your health.
Nothing about money or celebrity status at all.

Yes. That sounds familiar.
And, what did your father hope for your happiness?

He was more nuanced about happiness.
Or maybe conflicted would be a better word.
Happiness was...

I'm not your tearstained dishrag. 
Will you end your suicide note with a hashtag? 
Just lock me in the metaphysical gulag. 
The real world's too much a drag 
for a ***. 

I am not digestible. 
I am a hunk of pyrite lodged in the 
jejunum...

Do not worry my friend
your big head that disturbs
and fails to think properly
give it away for charity

Do not worry my friend
carry that big head in your hand
if its notorious and causes tears
throw it in the dish nearby

Do not worry my friend
your big head burden head

Time being colossal, 
a spin had to be found,
two covers, a book we call
it a beginning and an end.
In time we tick off a digestible
portion;
calling it our own,
walking between the covers
hoping never to get lost again,
Time being just that;
A definition,
always as slippery as an heel

Crunch

"I don't want to read something I already know 
or which is going to slide down easily:
there has to be some crunch, 
a certain amount of resilience." 
Poet John Ashbery.

He wasn't the first one
to say it, but crunch
is spot on, as they say. 

Life could...
