Omnipotence And Telephones Poem by Zachary Zuccaro

Omnipotence

Collapse all the universe
and time
into your fist
and squeeze.




Opportunity

The world is ugly
so that we may have the opportunity
to make it beautiful.




Organic Chemistry

Alkanes, haloakanes, alcohols, ethers, thiols, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic compounds, aldehydes, ketones, carboylic acids, anhydrides, esters, amides, nitriles, amines, and hard tests are some of the things most commonly encountered in Organic Chemistry




Outcast

The cycle repeats
yet again.

A friend comes
and goes.

Here I am.

Alone,

sitting
on a lonesome

stone.





Paperclip

A bent paperclip
now discarded.





Peacefulness

I sit alone
in the forest
next to the trickling stream.

I listen to the water flowing,
the birds singing,
and I empty my mind.




Pelican

A live fish
travels down
a pelican's esophagus
and is bathed
in acid.





Persistance

I fail,
and fail,
and fail,
and fail, fail, fail.

Undeterred I try again,
and I fail,
and fail,
and fail, fail fail.

Undeterred I try again,
and I fail again,
but someday I will succeed.





Phone

The phone rings
a sickening glob
of sour milk
forms in my stomach.
My pulse increases,
beads of sweat form on my forehead.
I am filled with a phobia
of talking to the person on the other side.
An intangible entity
staring at me
from its lofty tower,
glaring at me,
the pitiable creature,
suffering in a relentless purgatory.
Mustering all the courage I can,
I answer the phone.





Pizza

An internal compilation
of vegetables and cucumbers
envelope the apple
on top of the pickle jar.






Prey


In the absence of predators,
prey are no longer prey.

Prey cannot exist
without their predators.
