Pierre Rausch Poems

I felt like saying but didn't
Look, this has to be contained
I felt like saying but didn't
The pictures were taking after
...

Language made it impossible to interview
Trying to capture interesting faces
It was approaching noontime
And don't waste your energy
...

It was holding a glass of water for the thief
The flashlight looked like stars on a summer night
I heard screams, sharper then a knife
And jubilant, or serene or reminiscent
...

Try to forget about that now
Stand up and start pacing
We may never know that
I told him that
...

Had looked at the still, pale faces
It was a return to absolute despair
Left that phase to turn to ponies
Without replying, trotting behind
...

Said nothing of value
At one point, I thought I could hear voices
I lived in New York and Paris
You know, you didn't call ahead on this
...

Back to the future - it will take a long, slow breath
Back to the future - a modified DeLorrean had taken position
in front of the courthouse back to the future - for your account and risk
to power the time machine with a bolt
...

Am I granted guests, right
A few of these excellent nights
But somehow it was sweeter
The green of the land was fading as they rode away
...

He's got a cell phone and his own TV
Why couldn't they understand that
Another way of taking it
And the fever called « living » is conquered at last
...

Clearly the voyagers meant no harm
For once hundred dollars each
The new equipment increased
That bit in the back of his neck
...
