Poetry Book - 11. National Poetry Month 2019 - Part IV - The Daily News

The Daily News
Found in newspaper articles (Oulipost Prompts).


Something seems to be going on
It will be fascinating to see
Strange-looking quicksands
We are never quite sure
Helter-skelter
Rapidly disintegrating
It has been increasingly obvious
Is the Journal really the Journal at all?


*


The situation or circumstances
Things in general
Showed a permanent quality
To a great degree
That is never found together
In reality


*


It was really different I was aware
A half-formed-idea evolving over time
A complex with hundreds or a thousand pieces
A symphony of lies in a million years
There’s no nothing in the eyes of the world
It just bodes well at the end of the day


*


We’ve allowed ourselves to enter a space of unknowing
I felt betrayed and was an absolute mess
I went into prisons with people who were taking in food
There was great turmoil and a strange voice in my head
One does not slip into being human
With no idea what one’s supposed to be doing
Invisibility is a strange feature of the crisis
You cannot simply buy a sense of belonging - and
I’m grateful for that


*


12 hours a day and by the end of it
A man stripped down to skimpy underwear
I told everyone I was going to give
By attacking him with a metal pole
I couldn’t wait to share it with the world
It was intense and very exhausting
Emerging evils of the Upside Down
And a loosed arrow pierced a mobile phone


*


A Man Obsessed

I think this is the type of person who was the person that nobody sent
Crazed and haunted by the void, buried under inferior minds
The night seems to release a little more of our vast backward inheritance
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven
It’s different, not less.
