Anthony Weir Poems

Normal is other people
They don't look happy, either
The speed of dark always
greater than the speed of light
...

Time flies
Time heals
The poor in spirit
The meek shall inherit
...

98% of our genes are shared with chimpanzees.
We have polluted 98% of the world.
Dogs are bored 98% of the time.
Nearly 98% of life is mechanical.
...

Philosophy's a corpse
continually washed and combed
wordblind, megalithic
I prise open its eyelids
...

Heads full of dreams
too many heads
only one dream
...

You invented
the World
because
you forgot
...

Uniquely, what Man puts into life
is Death - while seeing his 'soul' as sanctum
and not slaughterhouse.
...

A world obsessed by communication
and nothing to communicate
but misinformation
disinformation
...

and others believed in
The Perfectibility of Man.
But the last thing humans
want to do is perfect themselves -
...

is mystery.

Insight
is misery
...
