Poets Just Wanna Have FunA Poem by Robert Ronnow
And complain about sentience. Tell a joke. Make--
Us sad or depressed, less afraid Earth into homes, earth into mud Their peace Me a fossil of society Our own decisions, the universe having reversed its decision on us A sound or noise Echo make The body healthy I do The feelings in the mind play music A space in a line of people climbing a trail in the mountains Us brothers and sisters with the animals Death more noble for us all A mosque of the rocks You cry out for the genius occurring now and in our past The tools and do the math to colonize the planets Things worse by guessing Others want to live Plans The man weep for himself A difference in their communities Music, mindful of our extreme limits 1/10 inch of annual topsoil The atmosphere as seen from outer space Of it more than it is The bed This formulation useful The technology possible to live long and well, with personality Grandma’s sauce This observation: the purpose of sitting’s not to be satisfied War on Iraqis Pharisees grovel Black holes whole Prediction and intuition fortunately hopeless A list of prospective donors A moral and rational adjustment of life to life Dying people cry Nothing happen, which is something, magic Improvements Eagle scout History interesting for Johnny The subject separate from the substrate The sun stand still, yet run Consciousness persevere Informed medical decisions going forward It so Sense on the trumpet Correct mistakes Jack ill A repertoire for dealing with the challenges we’ll confront as a species in millennia to come Every day a good day to die Millions The present immutable as the past Up, perfume, soap Him kill you right there in the street Way for a future that’s irresistible Poetry from losing the argument with themselves © 2025 Robert Ronnow |
