Morgan Michaels Poems

She lived in a bowl
On the kitchen countertop
At the end of a shaft of light
In the company of a waterwheel
...

There it was- an image
made of droplets, bringing itself intofocus
the watery isomer of an idea
however tenuous-
...

For resolve I touched my knee.
Not for that was I born.
To roll in nets, to drown in air
Rot, blister in the sun, to the whining of flies
...

Time is an illusion
devised by taskmasters
To urge their agendas on others
for the sake of cheap labor
...

To those who have succeeded
I would say
Congratulations! Enjoy your millions.
To those who have not
...

The universe is neither good nor bad
It is the glittering brushwork of God-
His creative energy gone purposefully amok.
That we might admire it
...

The Universe is neither good nor bad
Tho' many think it is.
Watched, the stars appear to move-
They do not, they sit still.
...

The Universe is neither good nor bad-
Good is mere cultural consensus
And what is profitable for you to think or do
As a member of a group
...

Regarding God and His relationship to the world
There are only two possibilities:
Either He became bored with His creation
And moved to a different part of town
...
