Long Disposable Poems

“SUMMER”



Where 
has Summer 
gone?

The world

Summer

Sweet

seen as toys
small and 
inconsequential 

casually tossed aside, 
disposable play,
things

smiling eyes once so bright, 
switched off,

"Who Put Luebella down the Wych Elm?"

There are rumours
about me, some 
come seeking me
with their geiger counters
and ouji boards
with their heart 
shaped planchettes

unanswered questions
in the woods, crackling
within the sounds of leaves
invisible dead things speaking 
underfoot...

at Lake Wobegone High School (my alma mater),

In cooperative detective work,
including Earth scientific research,
we are told to follow the money
much more often
than feeling invited 
to follow the nutritional health investors

transacts through vulnerabilities to crash
into compost cash.

We carry less allegiance to romance of patriotic memory
than reciprocity through mutual matriotic mercies

Spawned from the loins that 
Perpetuated the loyal serfs mongrel

These peoples of a conditioned and

With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives

Recherché poetic themes stock in trade of yours truly

No surprise, rhyme nor reason,
I tease out extraordinary threads,
sometimes deliberately writing
about current calendar day or season

for instance today July 28th, 2020
another hazy, hot, and humid summer day

When we fight in silence, like titans abound by egos
An eager poet overcome by words.
A beautiful model delicate as raindrops
When the silence in the room is as thick as our nostalgia
Wanting to hold each other but...
