Boghos Artinian Poems

Lamentable are protons and electrons
Caught in nuclei and orbitals;
Lamentable are the elements
That in molecules lose their weight and sheen;

As he was on his way

to a hospital in London,
...

Hair follicles do not know
That the man is dead,
And continue to grow his beard
For a few more days.
...

Lying on my couch
I hear the distant barks
of a dog.
I try to answer it as best I can,
...

A violent fit of sneezing
And out pops his left eye.
'Jesus Christ! ' cries the startled host;
The hostess swoons, fearing he might die.
...

Memes

It is not enough to think;
what is thought must be written.
...

They accidentally realized
That I had reached the age
Of retirement;
That they had won a battle;
...

Time is best quantified
Electronically,
Yet the Swiss still hand-craft
Mechanically pacing
...
