We all have a platoon
Of partly-contained voicesAnd shards of multiple personalities
Ready to burst
From the confines
Of our clown car.

And shards of multiple personalities
Ready to burst
From the confines
Of our clown car.

Poem: Growing up (revised 9/15)
By Jack Brummet
[illustration "eight stages of life" via http://thenakedconvos.com/]
The 1950s were about
The Day The Earth Stood Still, Huntley-Brinkley, The Thing,
The Cold War ignited on Ike's watch
As alarms shrieked duck and cover.
Dad was in the basement
Sandbagging the jam closet
And caching the beans
We spooked ourselves for good
And grew up to fear nothing but nothing itself.

Giving ourselves The American Jitters:
The Day The Earth Stood Still, Huntley-Brinkley, The Thing,
Ed Murrow, The
Blob, Fidel, Godzilla, Senator Joe McCarthy, Gorgo.
Wild-eyed Nikita pounded his loafers on TV.
He promised to bury us.

The Cold War ignited on Ike's watch
As alarms shrieked duck and cover.

Sandbagging the jam closet

And grew up to fear nothing but nothing itself.

Poem: 3:15 A.M.
By Jack Brummet
Quiet as the pond
In Monet's Water Lilies,
And as dark
As Mephistopheles' rectum.
---o0o---
The house is still as a painted boat
On a painted sea,
Quiet as the pond
In Monet's Water Lilies,
And as dark
As Mephistopheles' rectum.
