Matthew John Aben Poems

'and the overcast will never clear'
I heard her say
with eyes fixated on the dark
'the rain will poor, and still some more
...

I exchange my five dollars
For a stamp and a flimsy piece of paper
Five dollars to understand life
As if five dollars could solve my problems
...

I was thinking about thinking and
I have concluded that thinking, in its entirety-
Is rudimentary and inconclusive
...
