If a Book Could Take Just One Human to a Desert Island
Who would it take?
You?
Me?
Dostoyevsky?
A librarian?

If a Book Could Take Just One Human to a Desert Island - very short not-really-a-poem
Upon Re-Reading William L. Shirer's THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH - poem
Lawrence Hall, HSG
Upon Re-Reading William L. Shirer’s
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Perhaps one day America will go fascist
democratically, by popular vote.
-William L. Shirer, New York Times, 29
December 1969
We do not live Samsara, for Samsara
has meaning
So this is not Samsara; this is a cascade
of deaths
We live in linear time – or maybe we
don’t -
And the gods of hate sneak in ahead
of us

Before Me Sits Young Pablo Neruda - poem
Lawrence Hall, HSG
Before Me Sits Young Pablo Neruda
On the paperback cover of Residence on Earth
Before me sits pensive Pablo Neruda
His young face resting upon his slender hand
He looks a little to the left of the photographer’s eye
He appears to be thinking great thoughts
Or he might be thinking
Why am I posing like a high school senior?
Residence on Earth, introduction by Jim Harrison

Assembling a Metal Lawn Chair with Great Care (and a Ball-Peen Hammer) - poem
Lawrence Hall, HSG
Assembling a Metal Lawn Chair with Great Care
(and a Ball-Peen Hammer)
A friend gave me a lawn chair in
tangerine
Bright tangerine, with instructions
in English
Which I followed most assiduously
Which parts of the chair most surely
did not
The instructions did not mention a
ball-Peen hammer
With brutality and words which must
not be spoken
(Think of Vulcan and his mighty strokes)
I finally assembled the chair to my
satisfaction
And then I sat down

Our Children Will Ask Us What We Did in 2024 - poem
Lawrence Hall, HSG
Our Children Will Ask Us What We Did in 2024
Thus was th’ applause they meant,
Turned to exploding hiss, triumph to shame
Cast on themselves from thir own mouths.
Milton, Paradise Lost, X.545-547
Have we not learned?
The Zeppelinfield, the Kroll Opera House
The Great Hall of 10,000 People
The Hippodrome, the Piazza Venetia
Red Square, and the Quicken Loans Arena
Weak beings subsumed within one commanding Will
Adoring with glistening eyes and beating hearts
A strident oligarchy of destiny
Chanting obscurities and pumping fists
But when the chanting stops and foul diktats roll –
Will you - will I? - be a defiant soul?
Blue Moon and a Spooky Old Tree - poem
Lawrence Hall, HSG
Blue Moon and a
Spooky Old Tree
To watch the moonrise is almost liturgical
Her bright silver light behind the far-off pines
Rising and glowing and larger and larger
Silent and silver, lifting above the woods
I set a camera to watch Moon through the night
Electronics see the night and light differently
The old apple tree appears white and skeletal
And ghosts pretending to be insects flit about
Moon and trees and ghosts when left alone
Make merry mischief knowing that I am gone
