trying too hard, par Herman Shorts

Herman Shorts

trying too hard

was all stupid.

you weren’t that

entertaining. i

find it all only

sad now, that

we all seemed

so intent on

always making

it matter so

much. might

have been

better, but

for that.

(2014)

i feel pretty

the very idea that i could be

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,

solipsist's first date

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

always a blessing

my spirit sings to you, clears and quickens. losing you is impossible

reflections

reflecting on the moment before, would be useful only were it not already perfect.

leaning into it

leaning into, not against it. no, decidedly for, yes, always that, no matter

song for baby mia

we go walking around walking all over this town nothing ever getting us down cause we’re just a couple of clown…

negative gravity

no means no. no response means no. (everyone knows maybe means nothing

war fatigue

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

evolutionary imperative

stupid met crazy decided to have a baby or two... what else you gonna do?

cool it

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

if ever someone is

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

late to the party, or did it always suck?

the conquering child turns 50, gets the gag out its mouth, says here i am. let’s play now

america thinks i'm dead

like bell bottoms or disco but we need it to think i’m dead

labeled falsely

I understand the tattoo now “VERITAS” on your wrist, only there because it is entirely absent everywhere else.
