    About this ebook

    Amusing is the third book of sonnets published by Jeffrey Paul Lee. It further explicates the author's previous insights into the nature of life, the means by which we all cope with the often contradictory and non-rational character of what is perceived as reality, and the transitory nature of experiential modalities.

    Jeffrey Paul Lee

    Jeffrey Lee, despite a 30 year career as a banker, is actually a poet. His previous published works include Genetic Incense and (R)evolutionary Velocity. He has a bachelor's degree in English from Harvard and an MBA from The Wharton School, though only the former has had any beneficial impact on his writing. He lives in Connecticut and plans one day to retire to Iceland.

      I’d forgotten that spiders’ eyes reflect torchlight, that they glow like tinsel in the dark. A night earlier I was pulling boxes of gear out from under my bed, not thinking about spiders or their eyes: I was focused on packing. The next morning I was
