The Poetry Of.
Al Ferber..............................................
Forever And A Day
this has been going on
throughout history
the Greeks
the Romans
their Great Gods
the Titans
under despots
in republics
in democracies
the systematic
grinding down
of ants
and human flesh
the crushing
of the soul
and spirit
of the majority
of men
and after
all these years
with my canines
I gnaw
at leather straps
and bark
at the sky
at mid day
expecting
the moon to fall
I Die
I die a little bit
every time
I think of her
I am energized
every time
I think of her
she who brought
love to my life
as I would never
know it again
until half my life
was over
she graces my
dreams now
and again
always elusive
always leading
down a path
where I almost
catch her
but always
with an excuse
or mysterious
way out
of my reach
always taunts me
always makes me
remember
the beginning
Big Foot
Big Foot
Little Foot
Little Fete
from Indian
names
to rock bands
a name by
any other
we name everything
prefixes
suffixes
he she it
nouns
pronouns
names we
can't pronounce
much less
understand
each group
of us speak
in secret languages
apply secret
meanings
to old names
come up with
new
buzz word
secret handshake
names
to reveal
as little
as possible
names that are
unfathomable
like egg
e-g-g
cave man names
egg
egg
eggs
over light
under the sun
beneath the moon
we make a science
of names
create new names
to define
the use of names
brand names
sir names
maiden names
my name
your name
his name
her name
middle names
my name is
Teresuthra
chew on that
for a while
