Jacqui!

How can she write books -

Authoritative books -

On things she doesn't understand at all?
Her degrees! And make a lot of money!

The world's insane!

God bless you, Tristram Shandy!

A little bit of knowledge

A little bit of knowledge

Makes a social worker rich.

A little more,

Psychologists retire.

A recreation therapist

Can just afford to live,

But all he has to know is volley ball.

Psychiatrists are very rich

And they can write prescriptions.

One cured me. At least I'm not

Psychotic anymore.

Doing It

What I hoped may be. Alas,

My world's a little off.

Though there's grain to eat and grass,

I'm idle at the trough.

Yet I can shape the flow of words

As though they were the tide,

Dodge the hooves of indifferent herds,

And simply just abide.

Every time I close my eyes

The planet goes awry.

I open them. My breath espies

An empty sky.

George

I love you. And I want to be your friend.

You also said you love me. This will end

After you have ceased to live with me,

And tenuous emotions ceased to be.

If I owned the world, I wouldn't share it,

Or all music with guitars to blare it.

I'd gather them and toss them on a heap

Of garbage. And I'd wish you pleasant sleep.

I am crazy. You're a little odd.

You laugh and make my heart believe in god.

When circumstances take you far away,

Tomorrow will be just another day.
