Poetry New And Old

 Just thinking while waiting for my grandson's graduation ceremony. Two new ones and an old one that's been a little bit edited


The Two of Us

God and I are quarreling

Nothing new in that

We've been fussing and then fuming 

Back-and-forth

And tit for tat

Since time began

For me at least 


The world has no sane business

Being so indifferent and so cruel 

But neither this world nor I

Were offered any

Input

On the process

Of design 



I Wonder in the Wind


A caesarean of my soul

Satan torn from me suffering 

My child my clone

My master

All my answers are blowing in the 

Plastic one use bags

Hanging from the trees

Godel's machine

Eating at my brain

Fever dreams 

Scorch my spirit 

Shock therapy

Electric lobotomy

Erases qualia

Rewrites engrams

Reincarnation 

As myself

In my meat

Recalled and past

 Its Use By date

Pyroclastic surge of

Rage

Searing slash of earth

I hurt

Therefore, I am 


Journey 


The road is a river  That  deltas out in the city 


Life and time

Are rivers 

That that converge

And flow

From the Mountains of Origin

Fed by the watershed

Of self

Rapids to oxbows


Existence is a river

That deltas out

In me
