The Last Poet at Walmart

I found God in aisle nine

comparing prices on canned beans.

He looked older than scripture.

I asked if everything was okay.

He shrugged.

Inflation, apparently,

has reached Heaven.

~Joshua Walker

 

 

Extinction Event

 

The dinosaurs had an asteroid.

Rome had barbarians.

Atlantis had the sea.

We have passwords

requiring one capital letter,

one number,

and one symbol

we will never remember.

~Joshua Walker

THOUGHTS

 

Mostly

1 ignore them

but sometimes

they get me

thinking.

~John Grey  

 

A MAN IN MY SITUATION

 

I

thought

of

everything

 

and

that's

not

all

~John Grey  

What Name

will she whisper

with her last breath

odds are it 

won't be 

yours

A  Neo-dada Love Poem Manifesto

listen to the Druids

not the drudges

watch the sunrise 

at Stonehenge

see it set 

on psycho empire

then throw paint 

at the moon

~dan smith

scattering

support for a brave people

sunflower seeds

~Sherri J Moye-Dombrosky

fire ants

outraged

at the footprint

~Sherri J Moye-Dombrosky

From shadow to shadow   

From shadow to shadow, a fairytale is a UFO.

~Partha Sarkar

another day eclipsed spiraling into the 

unknown 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

 

mad hatter midsummer frightened bird of hope 

~Sarah Mahina Calvello

elevator—

thirteenth floor

no breath

~Subhash Roy Choudhury

I would like to go outside

but I am writing this poem.

~Noah Berlatsky

 

Pure Screech

On television

he screams

I’m going

to murder

the precedent!

over and over.

~Chad Parenteau

 

The Apocalypse Was Delayed

Four horsemen

stood outside my window.

Death checked his phone.

Apparently

the end of the world

has been rescheduled

due to staffing shortages.

~Joshua Walker

 

 

Prayer

Dear God,

I know you’re busy

with wars, famine,

and the universe,

but the dog

has something in his mouth

and won’t tell me what.

Amen

~Joshua Walker
