2 found poems




poem found in a notebook stained with yellow mustard


what is the sense
happy happy birthday
all the birds are sorry
tomorrow will be kind

i am so lonely
sad and lonely and low-down
ten years lost forever
how can i ever find the time

eternity is forever
so is my sadness
endless tears of white rainbows
never reach the end

sadness is forever
edge of the earth is purple
how will i ever find it
apples grow in the islands



handwritten poem found in a copy of my world of astrology by sydney omarr, purchased at a garage sale in burlingame, california


*

worse than anything that has gone before

*

i as no go fu the pogiz ded man - no way

*

no mo sef steam

*

when they got back to the hideout, they laughed their asses off

*


shine the light

*

everything is more real after it already happens

*

after the other side beat the shit out of him, he had trouble thinking and talking, and his own friends lost interest in him

*

he didn't mind the constipation - that was between him and god - bit not fitting into his uniform made him lose his self-esteem

*


almost thirty years old - and no war in sight! he wondered if he would ever join the hero's hall of fame

*

now that he was locked up, and would be talking to his interrogators instead of his victims, he would need a new vocabulary

*

he reached down, very tentatively, and pulled his prick out. it was small, even smaller than he had remembered

*

the guards weren't bad guys after you got to know them. they were all perverts too.

*
