Long Generalizations Poems

Alan as Buckminster
delivers Fuller Watts.

Left-Brain partisans of deductive "prickles"
and Right-Brain partisans of inductive "goo"
have reduced mutually antagonistic arguments
into something resembling a pile of boorish poo.

Prickly Reds are tough-minded,
rigorous competitors,
precise calculators of economic wealth priorities
for global...

If you are angry with me 
Or with anyone or everyone
For some (in-)explicable reasons, 
Then, this poem is meant for you!

My basic hypothesis: 
In a moment of anger
There will be choice—almost always.
Choose the best.
A taxonomy...

True, there is evil in this spinning, world so vast and wide.
But to label, entire groups, shows that humans can be snide.

Maybe in another lifetime
There will be no classifications or 
generalizations, nor discriminations.
Stereotypical consultations of 
people with no limitations of racial 
inclinations.

Shall external images forever

With eliminating of faces who do 
not pass on rankings.
God-forsaken souls...

At first, until I met one
Who was delightful, and kind, and did not generalize people
He gave me a chance, which was a marvelous thing.

My friends are my family.
Except....they like me, they adore me, they say nice things about me.
My friends understand that in a writer's life, sometimes I ignore their
phone calls, their emails and their texts.

Absurd situations amuse me; they get written into poems.
Foolish generalizations about groups of people infuriate me; 
they also get written into poems.
All Irish, all whites, all English, all red-heads, there is no all.

What happens to our dreams?
They seem to discolor;
they shrivel
and fall wistfully into distant memory
like so many autumn leaves.
They seem to slip from grasp
and shatter painfully
as they hit the floor
like so many glasses before it.

When we...

I hate transsexuals, the old woman said. (A childhood friend)
Me too, her cousin agreed, not a childhood friend.
You hate them too, right? The uninvited one asked me.
No, I told them. I don’t.

What?
They are shocked.
Stiff in...

Black lives matter
The popular maxim for the day
We gather hand in hand
A reprieve from the hateful things we do - and what we say

Let's be more than a social media image
Let's rise above and talk...

Labels for groups of people are ridik.
No one fits.
Generalizations silly.
Few fit.
Bigots, unlearned, unaware, uninformed, unfriendly, unopen.
Not me.
Not me.
Not me.
Ha!
One day during counseling class I remembered how mad
it used to make me when a boy could...

  the front or then the back

If it’s never over, or never ends,
  how then can you protract 

Can infinity stop and start again,

Ostentatious bragging
Undermining people
Tattling and gossiping

Offending groups of people on purpose
Yacking without substance or purpose

Closed minds
Old-people-generalizations
Messing with other people’s property
Fierce Ferociousness
Ogling and cat-calling women or men
Rumor-mongers who want to stir people up
Teasing to see tears

Zealous insistence...

We met a month ago
She is not a good listener; talks nonstop

She is making some wild statements now about me
Mostly generalizations about older women
I am in the next room rolling...
