Douglas Scotney Poems

3-D copies
amused the bastard
until he found the biggest creation,
which did the amusing
...

More than half-way
through my engagement
to the viscous swim
to the star
...

When he couldn't,
what he did
when he could
saw him through.
...

In English,
with the same words,
“it couldn’t get better”,
I can say how good “it” is,
...

Started we
to breathe
like fish,
in the presence of crabs
...

While what sat on top
fed on Rome,
Constantinople
and Istanbul
...

Because of exhaustion
coffee drinkers don't drink in the heat
the amount they do in the cold.
...

We and our team
both hope it'll win,
for the pride and the bulk of the money,
...

The lot of the kind
who say it is when it isn't
and I'm not what I am,
the lot of that kind
...
