Five Poems from Home And a view on the planet vs. the poet

Five Poems from Home

1) Remembering: Dorothy Parker
[Dedicated to the 1920s Poetess

Let it be said,
Dorothy Parker lies dead,
cremated to ash and Poetry; thus,
she died at the ripe old age
of seventy-three.

The tiny woman with a big mouth,
who got caught in the rain
and couldnt get out:
continued to play the game,
all the same,
like drops of rain
upon a pane.

2) Changing me

If Id not be so frank

Id not create such a stink.
If Id not be so stubborn,

Id sleep well in the summer.
If Id not curse at the bad

Id be happier and glad.
But I shall remain the way I am

Because I dont give a damn!

3) Inertia

When I was young
Strong and bold
Right wa s wrong,

And
Wrong was right;

My heart opened out,
My mind soaring
I marched away
And looked for glory

But I am old
And the world is so
Battles won, lost
It is time to stop;

Thus
I now let go.

4) The Wake of E.T.S

As soon as you had died

They cremated you,
I couldnt look at their faces

Of rush and kindness;

Nor pass my hand in theirs

Or bend my knees,
Or have them, watch me,

Mournful eyed.

I hope you didnt wait

For me at the wake,
I did my goodbyes at

The caf

and left to mend my soul

Alone
So stagnated and paralyzed

I became,

You would have laughed

Had you seen such
A thing!...

5) Nature Dreams

Nature dreams
And when she wakes
To find the human
Disposition stinks
She expresses
Metaphysically
Then neurotically
Just like we!...

The Poets Dilemma: Some Poetry proclaims the end of human and divine nature of things (what is left then, I dont know); and labels it Mans dilemma. Where in essence, it is really the Poets dilemma, Id think. Lets see if we can sew up the dilemma. It is well understood, the planet lives, it has its own dimensions, divine and cosmic, as does man. The poetic justification for the decay of nature is the nature of manso it has been said, but man is part of the physical planetas the planet is part of him; thus, maybe it has its own sins (the planet), its own magnetic pull on man to do as it wishes him to doperhaps, just maybe, perhaps.
