Here We Go Again!
The TV went blank,
The car wouldn’t start,
The house got hot,
The store left out
The refrig stuff from the cart.
Cable guy came,
Left with all new settings,
Roadside man started
The car with no resistance.
House warmed to 90,
Spent hours on the phone,
They’re nice when you get them,
But they lock you in at home.
Chickens without heads,
Running round and round,
I’m too old for this!
I’m leaving town.
If the car will start.

Form: I do not know?
I wonder if I'm crazy,
It seems as though I am
I'm puzzled by so many things
Like what makes grape jelly
different from grape jam?
Or how anyone could have such low self-esteem,
To let their dumb commercials run
Are we to follow the dinosaurs?
And disappear beneath the sun?
Or how I could be so brain-dead
To find in my refrig,
Some food from the time
of the reign of Ramses,
How could I be so dumb?
The very thought, it scares me,
Makes my mind go numb.
Everything I buy or own,
I seem to lose real quick,
Is there a brain tumor inside me?
Or am I just mentally sick?
Too caught up in great thoughts?
Or just too gosh darn thick?
Sometimes I I find I wander
Into a room, and can't remember why
Is this for people normal?
Or did my brain just fry?
I guess there's no good reason,
To worry about things like this,
Sometimes your brain's on target
Sometimes it just can't help but miss.

the noise of crickets
may lead to
insanity
and then
again
their silence is deafening
like people with nothing to say
and when they speak garbage vomits up out of some
executive tidal wave
but wait ...
what is Now?
its an echo from a metal pipe going drip, drip, drip
and an occasional sonata from a refrig
er
ator
a round cone bright with
the branch edge of lacy leaves
weighed down by the light of the moon
Now is outside inside
Now Is
Now is a part of time
but which time for when is the time Now?
she asked
When its Now ...
yes, but when was that ...
Is it now or was that Then and this is Now?
drip, drip, drip
