the conference

The conference 

I had gone to a writer's conference
The room was full of authors only interested
in reading and pushing their book
I had brought a book called Hunger, written
by Knut Hamsun, the pages were loose and
kept falling off, but there was a picture 
of him a stern man-looking intellectual  
The leader of the meeting, a man who was 
proud he had not gone to college and said
he knew more than anybody else
did want to read Hamsun's book, because 
Knut had gone to university in Oslo
Since the room was full of writers pushing
their work and didn't want to be influenced 
by other voices, I left
In the parking lot, all the cars were white, my
car was a Russian jeep called Lada, but
I couldn't find it, so took my leave of the scene

The Conference of the Crows

More important than any conference
In the world 
Is the conference of the crows.
Which took place 
Just outside my balcony at four.

The President of the crows 
Called the others looking troubled.
All came there 
Looking quite muddled .

The President, taking a deep breath, said
 "Caw,Caw,Caw,Caw,Caw".
Not caring about the people he will wake.
Then the crows, all in harmony, replied, 
"Caw, Caw,Caw,Caw,Caw".

Not a single man who woke up
Understood what they said.
But I knew that they were talking about
Dominating the human race.

     Into the closed doors,
     Open once more.
     After a night,
     Too much delight.
     Now the morning starts,
     Scrambling people,
     Will be out.
     To make our comfort,
     They will try.
     Not that anyone notices,
     We all fly by.
     Continuing on our egotistical train,
     We write and talk,
     To start again.
     The room is silent once more.
     Tables draped,
     As before.
     No one sitting in the chairs.
     Food laid out,
     Across the bar,
     So colorful from afar.
     Yet it sits,
     No one about.
     The doors are closed,
     Our thoughts without.

Putin's Deranged Press Conference

Putin holds a deranged press conference in which he outlines his plans
For the future of Europe and the world:

- Russia would rule eastern Europe and the Central Asian Stans as in the old Soviet era.
- He would proclaim himself the Czar of Russia, and Xi would rule East Asia and SE Asia as the new Emperor of Asia.
- Teheran would rule Iran and Afghanistan.
- The Saudis would rule the Middle East but would recognize Israel.
- Western Europe would continue as the EU and the UK would continue.

- The US would be given the Americas.

- Africa would be divided up between the great powers.

- The UN would be replaced with a much more focused international organization
  Where the powers would jointly rule the world, cooperate on global issues,
  Such as climate change and space exploration.

A military conflict would come to an end.

Impress With Words and Wine

In his speech always some difference,
Even while it is tea conference.
Often for the No-Nonsense Meeting.
Where one must check Effusive Greeting;
Raising the notion of deference:
Stanley’s robust search for reverence.
And for quotes to minds a reference…

But Wit is beginning to Ear ache,
In the past served and much was cake ;
Wit changed to Dollar had dropped naught,
His speech ready, he’s with eyes fought;
“Talks are better ended with French wine
And the population, here, needs nine.”

Premium MemberChewing At the Press Conference

Let’s give him the nickname of Sayles.
In suit, he does chomp at his nails.
Preoccupied schlub
gnaws down to the nub.
A shame as he chews at details.

Staff Conference

Another staff meeting,
there are lizards at the table,
a few goats, an ass.
I know they return to
the fold of a superficial normality
at weekends,
some even rock climb
or enjoy a quiz-night at their local pub,
one builds model ships out of matchsticks,
but here they exist zoologically
on the musky fumes of
their animal instincts.

I consider myself human
but at times my self-image slips
especially when i'm a cog in the machine
The actual boss is not here
yet his name floats in the air
as if powered by a constant
airconditioned camel fart.

Drone, drone, drone,
forced laughter.
Intimidation is in the air
it is as thick as hand soap.
The squeakiest wheel pipes up –
kill me now.
We are all expendable and know it.
Even the warthog
at the head of the table.

The warthog glares at me
while his forced grin smacks my face
like an oily rag.
I catch my reflection in a window,
I am turning into a bedside lamp.

Hours later, driving home, body drained;
bottom sore from extreme sitting,
a mad impossible dream.

I want to go back
and beat the warthog over his head
with my 60 watt brain
until he promises never, ever
to speak to me again.

Cop26 Climate Change Conference

COP26 CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE. 

Our planet is crying,
Poor Nations on crying,
The climate is worrying,
And people are dying,

Rich Nations come together,
World leaders come together,
And work harder together,
To change Global climate  together,

Advance the Technology,
Give poor Nations  knowledge,
To have the advantage,
Of the privilege,

Let this Glasgow be the option,
That will bring world Nation,
To agree on one decision,
And end the climate commotion,

Rich Nations come with one goal,
Raise the funds  that will fill,
The climate hole,
To make it cool,

End the conference on Friday,
But end with cool day,
On having agreed from the first day,
To make the conference a brighter day,

Premium MemberConference To Elicit Joy

A conference for four hundred and twenty-five 
I was the only one extremely open and alive
Met a guy with a badge who claimed name of Fred
After trying to converse, realized he was dull as dead.

Woman named Nama was the next one I was to meet.
Extremely boring, brought her husband flaccid Pete.
They hold this conference to give us joy and jive.
Four hundred peons, I may be the only one still alive.

I wanted to spark a little vitalizing, sparkling happy fun.
No other participant was on board with this, not a single one. 
A conference that was advertised to revitalize us with joy.
It was a bust, you can ask my gadabout Uncle Roy.

He whispered in my ear, let’s blow this place!
We had to drag gram out, she was a disgrace.
She farted and burped, also threw up her lunch.
Making their conference a tad better, maybe a whole bunch.

Premium MemberConsuming Conference Call

teens table their tablets —
a boy and girl lean into conference.
their mom, the professional, puzzled
as the family dishes out dinner, discussing
the call, “that man and his sidekick, so funny!”
tasteful humor provides entertainment.

Business Conference

There is a circus in town
Bright and colorful on the outside;
An exterior of flashing, blinking lights.
Inviting, happy lights.
A place I want to be,
A place everyone does.
But there is a building behind it.
A gray, metal building
Reflecting sunlight off its walls:
Not the beautiful kind of sunlight, rather
The kind of sunlight that blinds you
As it reflects through your window from 
Dozens of miles away.
I already know I’m destined to go.
Not to the circus, but to the building;
The gray, metal building
That I’ve convinced myself I want to be in,
When I know what I want is the circus.
But even then I don’t know 
Where my answer lies —
In the gray, metal building,
A corporate robot with nothing to my name;
Or the bright, inviting circus,
Still a corporate robot, 
But with all the attention in the world,
All the attention I’ve never wanted.

It’s a horrible world we live in, isn’t it?

Premium MemberPta Conference

PTA Conference with Mom.
You mean you don’t have an hour and a half lunch?
Child looks smug.
You don’t get off at 1:20?
More smug.
You don’t let them play video games during their hour 
morning break?
This kid is a genius.
How can I possibly grade him?
