Poem: The 1950's

By Jack Brummet



The 1950s were about
The American Jitters: The Day The Earth Stood Still
Huntley Brinkley, The Thing, Ed Murrow, The Blob
Fidel, Godzilla, Senator Joe McCarthy, Gorgo
Who will own the moon,
Wild-eyed Nikita pounded his loafers on TV
As he promised to bury us,
The Cold War ignited on Ike's watch,
Jack Kennedy inherited the residue,
Alarms shrieked duck and cover,
Dad was in the basement,
Sandbagging the jam closet,
And caching beans and gasoline.
We scared ourselves for good
And grew up to fear nothing but nothing itself.

poem: The Cover-up

By Jack Brummet



The logical beauty of cover-up theories
Is they can never actually be refuted,

But snowball with every new telling.
The absence of facts

Further inflames the conspiracy theory:
The lack of facts

Points to the utter, diabolical
Efficacy of the cover-up.

Poem: Convergence

By Jack Brummet



It is one ocean with many names
And into the ocean, sooner or later, flows
Every river, spring, raindrop, creek, and swamp,
Every lake, lagoon, aquifer, mudpuddle, and pond,
Every snowflake, icicle, glacier, flood, bay, and teardrop.
