people, mostly all, di Herman Shorts

Herman Shorts

people, mostly all

barely beyond apes,

cannot be trusted.

they are incapable

of caring

what the truth

of anything is,

the world being

so full of them

and so empty

of consciousness,

the normal state,

a confused collapse

in apathy is

big business

as usual.

(2013)

Piaciuto o affrontato da...

Altre opere di Herman Shorts...

if ever someone is

if ever someone is my dearest ear who hears my truth as theirs

is there, then, a vortex?

shall we turn down the covers, crawl inside? find there a place that’s been waiting for us, a vortex of sorts

inconceivable

i could not conceive of such beauty, it had to hit me like it has. nothing

maze

simply knowing you’re in a maze doesn’t get you out, but the fact is the foundation

beer garden

I will meet you in the open air, & pet your pony’s nose. You will be

disgraceland

here in the middle of the bottom of the lie how obvious

war fatigue

so, i’m in this spiritual war. maybe you aren’t, but i am. many great losses

cool it

cool this angst some with beer, amazing how it works, three in and suddenly ashamed that i could hate

ergo

love does not beat on doors, beg at tables. it is always

solipsist's first date

excuse me, i thought you were also the center of a fractal

I imagined a scene, conspiratorial

I just felt what I think I’ll feel always, once we’ve finally met, and share this cool space, like an open secr… It felt like all my favorite songs…

third circle (completion)

first fruits hardly a handful, the garden

curse of the outlined object

the center holds itself still that rockets believably may be seen exploding in all directions from somewhere vaguely

sometimes a hawk

of course it is not about you. you have to know this, like baby birds know worms come with mother’s return,

About People and Things

I love how you talk Down to everyone In your poems Which, unlike fiction Are not covered
