A Poetic Review By:
Rodger Lowenthal- The Fox Chase Review
Prophesying the past quite the challenge
.
Bang ~ irony take it seriously
Bang a too serious line ~ note the irony
.
Broken plumbing, (the Santa Claus from hell), appears
.
The grotesque now the norm
Beautiful abundant cheap love, (what a price to pay)
.
Orbiting misery bars and memories
.
misery and the same old questions
Everyday new mine field tipping points
.
The “file cabinet” of the past lurks
awaits detonation
.
In your face sarcasm as the nights
.
“thousand eyes are blind”
Stumble no safe retreat
.
Accept the saccharin taste of failure
.
success a cherished bogey man
“always the pesky distractions ”
.
Never loose the ‘tude dude
