Bob Holman Poems

Go ahead
Open the door
Hello white water
Hello there bridge
...

Before the Beginning of Time
When you could rhyme Sublime with Sublime
Because Because was a gag
In the mouth, a laughing flag
...

No lights! No city!
You've got to start nowhere
I'll take it, just to give it back
...

Who cares
Why bother
How come
What possible difference
Could it make
...

I am standing in the doorway.
I have put my suitcase down.
You are staring at me strangely
...

You no think me
You no love me
This old custom
Break heart
...

All day to watch this petal fall
Two to one it doesn´t
It doesn´t
...

for Danny O´Neil

How I love
To stand
In the driving rain
...

Now you´re giving wine to the horse!
Why did I ever ask you for directions?
You ask me why I asked you?
Who´s the guide around here anyway?
...

Saying hello
Just myself
