Eugene Levich Poems

Some baboons are clever.
One in New York City learned English
And can speak with a sixth-grade vocabulary.
Quite a feat!
...

My wife just reminded me:
"The garbage gets collected tomorrow morning
And you'd better take it out now."
...

Snow last night
Early this year
Flakes still flutter
White drifts four feet deep.
...

Oh, how wonderful it must be
To wing like that Pelican o’er the sea!
What shall we name it, I ask my wife.
“Ulysses” she says, “or Penelope.”
...

The mountain stands empty after new rain
That fell in this late autumnal weather
Moonlight gleams through pine tree groves
Clear spring water flows across rocks
...

Sometime in the future the Sun will explode and destroy the Earth.
What then will this poem be worth...

Or anything else for that matter?
...

Ah! Italia
Land of Vino
Gina Lollobrigida
Sunshine
...

Everyone's so busy dying slowly-
(Though some die quickly) -
So who needs...
War?
...

As a boy
One evening
In a restaurant
On one of the hills surrounding Rome
...

"Whenever you meet a contradiction
You must make a fine distinction."
No two conflicting statements can be true!
The Medieval Scholastics made this observation.
