Life Is

Life is a lot like
a government fuck
ponderous and taxing
as unbroken blank verse
swallowing the page
and eating your eyes
blind to the random
rhyme of miracles.

Each time I read your poetry, I am struck dumb again by the sheer scope of your vision. That is not something that can be learnt.

Powerful

if i wrote such truth, i would probably have i.c.e. knocking at my door even though i'm a naturalized citizen.

Nothing more ponderous than 'unbroken blank verse...eating your eyes..." --self-indulgent spew, in most cases. Thanks for always being succinct, and non-governmentally spot-on.

Ah, may we not be blind to the random rhyme of miracles.
