\"The Missing Shade...\" (+2)

Is the self

“a mere bundle

of perceptions”

 

If Hume’s right,

are the rest of us

wrong

 

When stimuli exits,

do we then

disappear

 

Existence abeyant,  

too weak

—to live on

 

(Villanova University Library: April, 2021)

 

 

Hollow & Silent

 

If a poem doesn’t live up

to its title

The moment is reclaimed

by time

 

Its chance to anoint

when read disappoints

A bell  

—unable to chime

 

(The New Room: April, 2021)

 

 

Thank You Dr. Spock

 

Over parenting…

the child undone

 

A cardinal sin

—lost millennium

 

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)
