EXTREMELY short poems

this is all
this is all
i could
come up with

nothing more

history is confusing
History is always changing
because the people who write history books
all have different perspectives of the past

Keep your Mouth Shut
No one can say anything about the man who doesn't talk,
except that he doesn't talk.

broken watch
The hands are broken, he ticks no more




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Floor Below
Falling
A spiral staircase
The concrete broke my fall




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

dust
how does it form
on my fan
i use a rag
the dust returns




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ODE TO MY MADNESS
Random: Thoughts and expression
Humor with mixed aggression
Depression from oppression
Questioning the question




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

advice from a man who is a seamstress
You can't piece back
a broken mirror.
You can't get out all the grime
with Comet alone,
you have to scrub.

(no title)
silent laughter
heard by a deaf man
the mime was being tortured
the audience applauded

no cure
attacking young
killing old
same strain
always bold
tissue companies prosper
we have to suffer
would nyquil still be sold
if there was a cure
for this aching cold [/justify]
