Poem Commentary

c'mon ... cut me some slack. I'm very new to all this.

BRAIN FARTS

There is no rhyme or reason
but trees do make noises,
 in the forest when they fall
probably even when they don't

but I really don't know
 if your headlights will work
 traveling at the speed of light

My third grade teacher
 told my mom I was a genius
but I cheated on the test

When I was 15,
dry humping and over the shirt titty
was enough.
Now I'm having nocturnal emissions
at 57 years old.
and there isn't even
another person in the room

The middle toe, on my left foot
is waaaay longer than the rest
and when I'm laying on the beach
the people in back of me
think I' flipping them off

The more we think we learn
 about the universe
the less we actually know

We're taught
 that "free will" is a blessing,
but is it really a curse?
we continually
and consciously 
make the same bad decisions
over, and over, and over again.


getting old is very frustrating
every time I slap the old lady on the ass
the fucking lights go on ...

there once was a man from Nantucket
who chastized me because my poems always rhyme
some new age poetry nazi snob? Fuck it.
Hey dick head ... why don't you write the next line?

I love the line 'the more we think we learn...the less we actually know'. That's good stuff!

i agree, some people are bound by rules and i feel sorry for them, because although i can understand there writing and i can read it without hesitation, but there rules mean they can't read ours without being struck by the rules and how we break them. I feel lucky cos i can read mine which has no rules and i can read theres with all the rules so whose missing out here not us its them. I totally know how you feel. take care

This is a very nice piece of blue collar versage... I enjoy the way you hint around at so many, common place mental indignities so many of us suffer from... Speculation is always the tool of choice fueling the intellectual's curious ingenuity... Yet, It still never actually arrives at an answer all by itself... They have to tinker with the "what if" so much, they end up inventing so many stupid practicalities... lol... Good write...

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
