Pleasantries and Pleasure
Watch people go about their day
What pleasant things they say:
Mutter, grumble, moan and gripe
Curse and condemn, carp and snipe
Something to prove, on the run, in the groove
Going nowhere fast, see ‘em move
Life’s delights make no impression
Pleasures lost ~ to incomprehension...

The Parsley Sage
heavy-footed
he tramps his
wisdom on her
renaissance carpet
she gives him
thick coffee and
sits him in a chair
far too small
he stares about
the room & talks
about nothing in
particular, but
thinking all the
time about time
she smiles and
does not understand
he clutters out
confused by her
incomprehension
stumbling over his
tears.

Shipwrecked
Shipwreck
As the ship exploded and sunk, her crew
died a hundred times.
Through portholes they saw the green sea,
getting darker; they couldn´t hear their own
screams as the noise of crushed iron´s was
louder, like hundred express trains hurdling
toward obliviousness
And then the sea blew open doors
filled every cabin with incomprehension
…and then, yes then, they died again....

Afar Our Existence
Rumbling thoughts crescending,
Beyond knowledge ascending,
Wreathing daze, unfurled,
Meanings twirled…
Outlived incomprehension,
Outlived tension,
Era of delusions,
Era of illusions…
How shall our guile emphasize?
How shall our wisdom philosophize?
A million words alleged,
A million vows pledged,
A million beliefs agreed,
A million creeds…
Yet, life remains an erratic illusion of distance,
For
Knowledge stretches afar our existence…...

Time Please
Shipwrecks crowd the pub taproom
a hot breath of defeat curdles the air.
There's a coal fire;
there are black tables, small and round
just enough for two pint glasses.
One cloth cap asks another:
"What you sinking?"
He means 'drinking'.
Both old men
keep their eyes anchored
to drool-stained beer mats.
Gimpy table legs
limp aside as if kicked.
Empty glasses
drip a jaded wisdom,
each foam-licked drop
falling back
into incomprehension....
