What It Means to Be Paranoid
I wrote a
prose poem
back when
Pac Man
first started
popping up
in bars
describing how
it would
lead to
the kind of
world we
live in
today &
people said
I was
paranoid.

Timing
You need
the reflexes
of a
mongoose to
slip thru
life
without getting
snake bit.

Why I Write Shards
A witch doctor
rubbed spittle
on my
eyelids
in the
jungles of
Belize.

Oh,
wilted daisies
of the
American Dream–
put down your
leaf blowers.

write this way
John Bennett
Write This Way
Occasionally
what I
write coincides
with what
people think
& then
they say
why don’t
you write
like this
all the time?

surviving false cheer
Surviving False Cheer
Soon it will be Winter Solstice. It’s one of my two favorite days of the year. It may have less sunlight than other days, but the day after has a bit more. It carries me thru the holidays.
My other favorite day is January 2nd. Down come the Christmas trees, out goes the false cheer. I walk out the door stronger than the average man for having survived Christmas without cracking a smile.
