      Robert C. Koehler: Stirring Humor Into ‘Old Age’

      No doubt everyone grows old in their own way. But once you actually hit it — that three letter word, “old” — watch out: “An aged man is but a paltry thing,/A tattered coat upon a stick . . .” So wrote William Butler Yeats, back in the last century, c

      Three Poems

      “Why is there something rather than nothing?” feels disingenuous, on an ontological level, because we think of even nothing as something. I think of nothing as empty space in all directions. But emptiness, darkness, is something. It feels like we’d n

      ‘State of Affairs’

      ––––––––

      Heart’s dust

      souls, remnants of pieces

      after a scattering blast.

      Minds split

      carelessness,

      madness and apathy... wrath.

      ‘Moving On’

      Detaching from all felt,

      parasites

      whispering lies wanted to be heard.

      ––––––––

      In the dark

      a faded glimpse of thought hope.

      So much told

      "Hold it in, pray, love"

      But FUCK!

      How could they say such

      if their ears didn't want to know

      nor their eyes see

      how much was torn?!

      ‘A Full-cycle Displacement’

      People change

      modified same,

      over

      and over again.

      ‘The Rat’s Race’

      Shiny shoes,

      face grown old,

      steps taken

      towards the status of miserable.

      Lost sight,

      so much to be seen

      bellies gaining fat

      pockets screaming greed

      as curves sell in tight dresses,

      attached files crest,

      dead bodies move

      following the rest.

      ‘A Poem, at best.’

      A set of rhymes

      accordingly
