RE: New

[i read somewhere about an anthology of end poems.......hopefully nowhere near that but it does enter into the conversation, dont it]



Part B




I just can’t believe

if ever the thought

you don’t know how

you have no idea

idear

you couldn’t possibly



Not much thrown up over a life

time

time to look back and realize

that

nothing gained for lack of

trying just substitutes sweat for grit

who needs that either




Just coming to terms with all

that time wasted

here sits one pumped out

hole in the spirit

life trudging across

across me like three times twenty

or some such mathomatical

possibility

but don’t now no don’t ask



Why it matters

it matters

not just because

but just

and all solutions rendered seem

pointless at least

and dull now posted




Take all of this

please

if it is a moldy joke

just gather up and walk away

before I have to write

more







What’s more

this

dreams don’t matter

no more

just one after another

looking for a way out

of one more too tight

space



that is what is left







Saving the best

for last

aint like what

I made it

up

to

be.
