height of remoteness

Rate this Entry
I'm sorry that...
while you all are
deeply concerned and torrentially distressed
over the MASSACRE and the rest of the tragedies of the country

All I could do is
dream of silly ones
and avert my amusement
and compassion

to really old
films
and not get enough
of puffin reds.

The Graduate is worthwhile.

But I guess I'll be back on track.
Soon.
When the short hand strikes the "S"
And the long hand points to the "O-O-N."

    This is a powerful poem -- linguistically playful with a strong authorial presence. Thanks for posting it!

    Thank you. Though with that comment, I couldn't help but reaffirm my pre-existing feelings of perturbation and restlessness about all that's happening.
