James McLain Poems

Contrary to the dozens of prophets of the past through precognition
which then was rare
there are now thousands of them born
every year
...

I have not died
so many times so that you can live
living your life you living mine just so
that you can again reject me.
...

Looking for a short cut
in cutting the costs of feeding
these leviathans.
Butchered and farmed out to

Each woman doesn't realize that
Her husband could die any day, having
Left no life insurance policy.
...

My earliest one was as an Egyptian slave,
The last I remember was a priest on the field
During the American civil war.
...

She still is she always was,
She's lived a life the best she could.
Earlier today when she was here,

Twenty one a virgin still.
The thick atmosphere was as her moist
And wet.
...

How long must one live a life unlived
Before one must sell out to live?
Can one live to only live without the
Means to live?
...
