Jake Cosmos Aller Poems

One day the world woke up
To the impending end
As a new asteroid.
...

We first met one night in September
I knew that I had met my fate
A date I always cherish
The date you came to me
...

In 2025, the world ended
With the collapse
Of the worldwide climate system.

I sometimes think
That God if he/she/it exists
And created the Universe
...

These days I wonder about
the basic decency and sanity
of the American people.
...

Scumbagery is the study
Of the actions of a scumbag
A scumbag is a narcissistic, sociopathic
Self-center person willing to do anything
...

How and why he
Remains so popular
With some Americans
Remains a mystery.
...

hot
coffee
in the morn
great start today

The Poet will publish my poem, "My Mother's History" in an upcoming anthology on Cultural Identity. My ethnic background is a bit complicated. Depending upon how I look at it, I have 18 to 20 nationalities in my tangled family DNA.

From my father's side of the family, I inherited a German family name, Scandinavian blue eyes, with ancestors coming from France, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Lapland, Norway, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, Ukraine, and somehow the Basque region. I also have some Jewish ancestry and a trace of Mongolian ancestry as do most people of Eastern European background. And my DNA test also claims that there is some Italian ancestry somewhere and perhaps Spanish ancestry.
From my mother's side of the family, I am part Scot, part Irish, part French, part Dutch, part Cherokee and part Nigerian. Since she was part of the lost tribe of the Cherokee Indians, her story is particularly complicated as her ancestors fled before being enrolled in a tribe and lived in the Ozarks intermarrying with other Indian tribes, Scot and Irish settlers, and escaped slaves. In any event, there are so few people in her ethnic group -perhaps 25,000 that they don't show in DNA tests. Since her parents show Cherokee that means I am anywhere from 1/8 to 1/8 Cherokee. I met my uncle once and he looked Cherokee to me.
