doug bentley Poems

the trouble my friend
as you well know
is not in our morals
but genes
...

i discuss the death
which comes after the death

which should have finalized
...

we are no old-fashioned heroes
who fight a blind dragon or two
then retire into the forest
to warn off others in stories
...

it has always been
unfathomable to me

how physics can posit
...

my corpus callosum
has a big lesion

that silences signal.
...

i believe

GUTs* have got
more to do
...

after we all have our cells regenerated
and the fountain of youth flows over us
forever there will still be the pursuit
...

above

blue sky
gold sun
...

when the Ark Of The Covenant kicks into action
it's a contraption

generating
...

i remember my life as a soldier
in the hills of sumer,

how i died
...
