Terry Horn - More Poems
bamboozled
describes yesterday
And today too
just not tomorrow
A poster child for loneliness I
believe I
saw you on a milk carton
my joy and sorrow
various states of inebriation
the moon was out
and it was Christmas
the thing is I
never drink milk
someday something will happen
so
throw me a fucking bone
I’ll play catch
took a picture me
sitting in the cockpit
nervous about to hit the
button that says
launch
went to the university
according to science
according to the training
manual
take the bus
to a job
nobody has or wants
energy efficient alcohol
now finally sold in
va
see you tomorrow everybody
maybe
increasing clouds and showers
high of minus seventeen
where do I live
and where do I get carp
the lovely fish that
no one seems to want
so thrilled so collaborated
took 2 minds to figure
I’m out
on the road
to stupid
jack
finish the story
in
the land of promises
milk and honey
toast with jam
paying
for the sins
you committed
when
I have my own
defines ageing
a symptom of life
ends up shoeless
with a collar
on a leash
difficult to communicate
a reliable connection
light out
turns on a switch
lives off pills and
science perpetuity
age 24
all that money
making you foolish
burnt when it got cold
and there is more
there is
always more
or less
welfare for politicians
whenever you lie
whatever you say
does not matter
here
you just might
slide off a mountain
perfectly peaceful
why
not today
sweet and easy
like a lie
only it’s true
the mind is horrible
luckily
only sometimes
remember me
as the one who
woke up
see you when
you’re old
days numbered
mornings always
never and new
the way begins
excitement and energy
wanting to make
a difference
fail and succeed
what
is it that you want
you might say
to live
closer to water
finally
air in space
unimaginable light
and darkness extreme
I
maybe you are sick
maybe you are working
maybe you are both
so namaste
follows the blue dot
as it flowers
pretends to hybernate
all day support
joins me in sleep
ends with a dog
a cat for balance
eats from a bowl
on the floor
watching television
becomes a cartoon
the latest
voted
and got fucked
wasn’t
that kind of love
afterall
