Inside/Outside



Inside the house she's -
Playing her cello.
I can hear it, faintly -

I am but a ghost to her.

We used to ...

-

Outside the house -
I walk slowly by.

She is but a ghost to me.



You asked for it Buttkus

  2. Yes, I did ask for it, and you have
    come through with sparkling and
    enigmatic poetics, as I knew you
    could if you decided to, or were
    moved, nudged, or cajoled in
    that direction. Nice poem too;
    very enigmatic, existential,
    and existing on a tangent
    that is only home to you;
    very e.e. cummings like.

  3. That's just the long way of saying it doesn't make any sense.

  5. Whatthehell makes sense?
    The Bush Wars inherited
    by Obama? Old age?
    Attacks of CRS and aches
    and pains and blank spaces?
    Calling things Jumbo Shrimp?
    Filing things under Government
    Intelligence? Endeavoring to
    be engaged by rhetorical
    questions? Jean-Paul Satre?
    Jackson Pollack's drippings?
    Mozart's operas? My cat?
    My wife? Your wife? Why
    a GPS sends you only the
    stupid ways first, as if you
    have forgotten how to
    read a map? Why does
    Motel 6 rooms cost $65.00?
    Why we do not fear for our
    lives living in the shadows
    of several fire mountains?
    Why do we whistle in cemeteries?
    Why couldn't I find an SUV that
    was painted red instead of
    government mint silver?
    Why haven't I seen Bigfoot
    yet? Why does no one give
    a shit I saw that UFO on
    the high CA deserts in 1983?
    Why do I have a lot of hair
    on my fireplug of a body,
    and you have less on your
    lanky frame? The technology
    that emerges daily to help
    us forget about the important
    issues on this planet, and keeps
    our children occupied and zoned
    out during elections? Christ, I
    could go on, but it makes no
    sense to do so.
