Go and See


What am I to do with my life?

Go and see.

Smile

Grizzled buck-toothed
Jack-o-lantern

Or cat-whiskers turned
Sideways in an e-mail

Or cynical curlicues
On a yellow button

Or even more frightening
A clown’s face

Permanently etched by
Some villain’s knife

So that whatever you may feel
You’ll always seem happy

Who other than an owl
Hollows wounds

Around an empty oval
Called identity

Go & see? That's about all any of us can do.

BTW, what precisely IS a "disposable poem"?

Dr. Mike said...

A disposable poem is a poetic improvisation hurled into the void, wadded up and flung toward the nearest trash, meaningless as lie itself on an internet connection.

Rambling T, please meet my old friend, Dr. Mike.

Dr. Mike, please meet my new friend, Rambling Taoist.

Thank you both for all the comments -- and of course the poems, both disposable and not.

I vote not disposable.
