Kevin Patrick Poems

Although America did not invent greed
It certainly made renovations when it purchased that institute
And gave it gaudiness attractive for a car salesman;
...

A head of fresh lettuce sat in the fridge
Mopping and griping that it hadn't been hitched
It was passing each day as a bridesmaid for fruit
And known its time was growing slightly less spruce
...

Evolutions tribulations
is that humanities self-awareness
has made it a stagnant corpus
and a homogenous institution
...

A dream is an illusion
Whereas an objective is valid
Coordinate your passions
To purposeful intentions
...

Toast tyranny a wager at the checkmark in the box
With cryola ideology simpatico to your thoughts
Compromise your belief with a representative of choice
In a year they'll impeach a bipartisan platform
...

A news paper cried
Helvetica Serifs Leaking runny ink blots
across the front banner
...

Silence spans the canyons gulf
Between our hearts born disconcert
The hours conjugate the minutes
As reticence grovels our reproaches
...

There are many things that I regret

Like
Blowing my nose
...

Sharon tells me she's thrilled
when she sees her skins peeled
From the scrapes of Tommy's fist
bruised from docking with her lip
...

It's the one thing I can't rehearse
The final act where I have no lines
Or watch the audience in the isles
Complain of my performance in the role
...
