Ode To 100 On 8/30 Poem by Justin Aptaker

Ode To 100 On 8/30



Everyone's been talking about how
the universe will either expand
indefinite cold star death
or collapse and then repeat itself

meanwhile i'm a slave proper
in every sense of the word physical
bound to the elements hunger
a criminal for speaking my thoughts aloud

a loud or a soft noise unheard
unseen and unknown and unthinkable
still I would try to define it
humanity, always effing the ineffable

i'm one and apart and the same all the same
the universe cloaked in name after name
every man and woman a star
in their own drama melodrama how dramatic

i am in a word addict
again you might say i'm back at it
rhyming with rhythm but static
sense or nonsense and i've had it

I kind of want to tell you to " keep at it." and not to give up because how brilliant this poem is in so many different ways and on so many different levels only makes the reader, in this case of myself, want more.

Thank you so very much for your kind words, Julia. I will keep at it. Hearing from people like you gives me all the reason I need to do so.: -) Thank you.
