David Whalen Poems

It's out of your hands
Beyond your control
No matter your demands
No matter your goal
...

I'd rather eat a
Chicken's nest…than eat one more
Skinless chicken breast
...

Goodbye my old friend…
Seems I hardly
got to know you
...

Where on earth
Will my shadow go
When on this earth
My time ceases to be?
...

There's no real 'way' to
Happiness…Happiness is a
A way in itself
...

This Sunday morning
from my usual booth at McD's
I thought to look for something new
For which my eyes to please
...

Moron tattoos and the financial benefits thereof


One should get one's kids tattooed
...

The gravity of blood
Holds tight the satellites
Of family and
The ties that bind
...

Devolved into a genteel kind of madness
And no longer beloved today
Morphed more…into a still stranger likeness
Removed of reality in every way
...

<center>My breath expressed
Upon the looking glass
A living veil
Composed of gas
...
