This poem concludes my series of poems about the boring woman on the beach.




There's Andromeda
There's Scorpio
There's Pisces
There's The big dipper

Okay okay I say I know
But the captain is so
enthusiastic about space
and astronomy and science.

I love listening to what he has to say
as we voyage into the midnight waters,
the monotonous beauty by my side.

    It's time for confessions    I am befriending her
    I brought her aboard for     slowly and surely
    the same reason any man      with her sadness
    would have brought such      melting - not that
    a beauty on this ship        it was ever there
                    in the first place.


  ennui is the first step to becoming creative,
       the world is meaningless, she says,
  creativity is manifestation of the nonexistent
         the universe without concern or love
  upon the plain of human experience


    I hold her in my arms, my Sophia, and laugh.
The world is without meaning, I say
and she sighs, smiles, and replies
           who cares?

Life's short.  Think hard!
Me!

I'm not very good at commenting, but wanted you to know I've been reading your work here and in Prose and find it intriguing. Also, your formatting is brilliant, a necessary element that adds so much to the work.

Wow, this is amazing. I love it. Absolutely love it. You are brilliant!

as long as we laugh out loud, laugh like we're mad. because this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have.
