NUMBER SIX--GOOD AND/OR BAD

 Riding my bike

these many miles

(so far 3,000!)

I enjoy making

'poem-phrases'

which are profound

NOTHINGNESSes.

Tossing around 

some crazy thoughts,

I tried to write

meaningful words

insensibly 

sensible in

four-syllable 

lines, lines, lines,lines....

PART OF MY LIFE

From first moment 

I heard you speak,

'good' or 'bad'--I.

of two judgements,

is nothing more

--until I die.

Believed every word,

intonation,

through it all:

intoxication.

'Good'--often 'Bad'

'Bad' on 'Good' list

joke is on me.

so late in life,

discover this twist

Had I not been

horribly drunk,

damaged lives and 

whole families

or had not growled,

snarled, and--(I stunk!)

how-ever could I 

help another

in their normal

 abnormal-tees?

"Nothing...as seems"

is not so sad

good is not good

and bad hardly 

EVER so bad

--Steve E  (aka steveroni)

(Thanks to Brian 

Miller for the
'four-syllable'

inspiration!)
