Good News!

A 2020 poem


Good news! There is no God.
Good news! There is no hope.
Good news! Your life has no purpose.
Good news! There is neither good nor evil.
Good news! The universe is indifferent to you.
Good news! Hide that knife.
Good news! Call the Samaritans.
Good news! You don’t matter.
Good news! Okay, just go ahead and kill yourself.
Good news! No one cares.

False Prophet

A 2020 poem


Let him be happy for a while
Fill his ears with lies, and smile


Calamity is creeping to his street
Marauding in the darkness
Claws extended, ready to take a swipe
Tell him he is safe
Clap your hands, tell jokes, distract
Play a little game, pocket the cash


Speak a vain imagining or three
Keep that silly talk away from me

Cold

A 2020 poem


It’s freezing
Your heart
I would feel sorry for you
But my heart is the same
