Another poem Author: Alan Brown, Posted: Sat 08 Feb 2003 12:58 am Subject: Another poem I wrote around the time of the other one I just posted - it made me laugh out loud, yet again! 
The magic of my poetry sometimes stuns me, for it seems to come at times from some awareness beyond even where I'm currently at and at a later awareness, I find that I have magically "grown" into what I wrote before! Wake Up! I just woke up in a garbage dump that I thought had been my life! A pile of false dreams here, a dung heap of fears there, a dumpster full of false goals and aspirations over there and strewn about them a mess of lost opportunities, false dreams and faked identities. "This is not me," I cried out as I shook myself awake and brushed off the debris of my life which hungrily clung to me. "Get me out of here!" I asked Above as I hurried to the front gate. Then to add insult to injury, as I rushed out of the dump, the gatekeeper exclaimed, "What are you doing here, boss!?" As I rushed away, I pondered what he had just said and the truth of it all dawned on me and I started to laugh a laugh of all time. And, when I turned around to look back at it all - it was gone! Vanished into thin air! I haven't stopped laughing since. Alan Brown July 16, 1998 |
