Two Souls Poem by shimon weinroth

Two Souls



I have two souls
One belongs to TV
The other my mother claims,
Should have been a doctor

I have two souls in one body
Raging to get out
One belongs to the Upinashadas
The other walks the halls of Valhalla

All the rules of probability complain
That random is at stake
One soul too many
upsets all the forms of order

I could give one to my country
The other would walk for peace
One soul for my wife
The other for my own

So I believed and acted carefree
Dissipating youth
Ignoring the shoulds of good decoeum
For I have one soul too many

Now I must commit myself to nature
I find two souls took no extra space
I left them behind in the twilight zone of poetry
Only my body belonged to TV and my mother
