These were two Poems written
from a line written in the South,
but after we returned.
The beautiful art deco philosophy
There was something once there
like there always has been
in someplace that once was
that is now….
different
Things are not like they were
stop yourself
when you say that
not that’s it’s a lie
but that it….always is
We are not lovers
like we twenty years once were
some is better
some is different
we haven’t yet learned
to age gracefully
we think mellow
is a crayon colour
may we remain so
my goal is to age gracelessly
and be a burden to whomever
I can be a burden to
and gleefully embarrass
whomever is embarassable
Of course
nothing is like we remember it
it should not be the same
time must speak of change
whether good or not
is just an opinion
no matter how often we state
only we know the truth
the danger becomes
when we believe 7-29
The Beautiful Art Deco Philosophy #2
The idea was
that you do remember to live
each day as though it won’t be your last thought it will be your last
but so you can remember it as a lovely day
