Eugene Levich Poems

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

I seem to attract women who are crazy!
I wonder why that should be!
Is it because they see in me
Some comforting rationality—
...

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.”
...

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
...

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

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

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

Some women are like red wine and honey
Others like nourishing bread.
You are Champagne—
1907 Heidsieck,1928 Krug, or Perrier-Jouet
