A comment on politics and new poems
Was watching US President Biden’s speech in Warsaw today. I thought it was strong and coherent. But I think the US should help deliver fighter planes to Ukraine as long as the Ukrainians agree to only let them stay in their own air space.
Some poems
“Crazy Eight”
- “Mind” by yours truly
I have a mind of a kind,
But be sure to eat the pulp (gulp),
Not the rind.
It could make you go blind.
Cautious, or that you’ll find.
By me signed. ——–J.-J, J, Schmidt.
2) “Release” by yours truly
Ohh, Jesus
Please release us
From the madness
And the sadness.
I’ll just add this…
3) “Cant” by yours truly
I can’t:
My cant.
4) “Nihilism Part Two” by yours truly
I am adopting nihilism
Because I like kneeling on Sundays.
5) “ISBNs” by yours truly
ISBNs:
Needles and pins,
Almost-forgotten /forgiven sins.
Death of a 1,000 cuts.
My words may make me nuts.
“Make more sense,
Or just use more pens.”
6) “Positive” by yours truly
“Be positive!”
“Dad, my blood type will probably
Never be B+ no matter how much you want it to be.
It is what it is.”
7) “Hup Part Two” by yours truly
Hup, two, three, four.
Please don’t eat another s’more.
It might make you poor
And make us sore.
Time to leave; there’s the door,
8) “Crazy” by yours truly
“You’re crazy.”
“I bet you say it to all the boys.”
