shimon weinroth Poems

species, species one and all
who is smartest of them all-
domestic animals invented, breeds
caged to feed, to work, to please
...

the cat she sits,
a stoic,
purrs and meows
as fits her mood,
...

boxed in
framed
pin pointed
vanished
...

For all to see
Paint brush of inner feeling
Colors the face
With crimson signs
...

for every cause an effect
what created the cause, another effect,
sounds too circular to accept,
doesn't explain, the why
...

the other me slithers out of
peep holes, cracks and crannies
slides and spreads, rolls and multiplies
filling the here and vast beyond
...

Computer, compuer
Whose Master or Slave would you be
Computer computer programmed by me
No slave will you be nor master of me
...

I had been reading the
literary supplement
if I were an anthropologist or social apologist
I'd find it possible to assimilate
...

a visit to the hospital ward,
at twilight time before the Sabbath
depressing and necessary,
void and empty,
...

she tells me what to do
even while I am
or plan to
or think I am
...
