The Last Poem About Us

25th high school reunion 
Big Beaver Restaurant 1997

You somehow found 
the seat next to me.

Showed me a picture
of your husband

Doesn’t he look like you?
--No—well---maybe--No

Later, I wanted to talk to you
--all night--

Hands in my pockets
by the dance floor

Unrestrained, we might have 
taken a room out on Rt. 18

But that’s only me.
The next morning

my wife at the time
said that you were

still in love with me

Fast forward to the coming 
55th   and I will not entertain

Attendance at your beckon.
Our virtual cyber reunion 

in recent years has covered
the things we might have

uttered over those motel pillows
in Beaver Falls by the truck stops,

those reasons why our youth at the time 
was such a mutually delicious flaw

You are in a good place, now,
with bad knees,
While I am palpably exposed
Out Here in the ether

on the dance floor, 
where
we might attend 
to our mysteries.

Hiku: love lives in hearts

Sticks and Stones

you
 may of heard iT said,

 

"sticks and stones may bReak my bones,
 but word's will never hUrt me."

 

buT 
the trutH is,
 


"STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, 
BUT WORDS CAN KILL ME!"

Points of view

See firstly it concerns eyesight
How people see things
But why does it get used for their opinions 
See if a doctor tried to operate on onion
Would it be an op onion
I never gave a hoot
about any others opinion on me
or cared what they thunk 
Second lay my hat atop my home
I never class myself as I
Well a.            pa.    rt from there
because there has always been more than one
in hear
Here me well do donut care howl ewe spell
Witch words u ewes
Just a con missing it’s fuse
Would a sequence of con have any consequence
Out to play
I beckon to one of my trio of shadows
Only I (okay and there) see in
Side to side
like a stutttering slitthering sssnake
okay hands up all who made the hissss
Here take a nrut 
Knot the usual
Paid the rent for the differ
Look at This

Triad of Troubles by Max Burchett

by Maxwell Sebastian Burchett

Some say, and believe, bad luck lurks in threes.
That a triplet of troubles and woes, even doom,
Can be expected to appear, joined in a trio for despair.

Bad luck, they say, unfolds in a three-act play,
With prologue, conflict, and ending, a trinity of troubles predict,
A superstitious claim and firm belief, that fate is to blame.

Three and three, fates agree,
Bad fortune looms, dooms in trinity.
Triple, triple superstition whispers, simple destiny.

The Rt Honourable Judge History

Normalise the teen
Seen slutty on your screen 
Insta app’s the pimp

Youth attracted person 
Sounds like feral yap
Bright colour’s brand sin

By history’s stone judge
The Black Cap atop his wig
For poisoners of innocence
