The Ultimate Humbling Poem by Michael Walkerjohn

You
rest, and
become quiet
most every night
but not quite… IAM
correct in this… Hilltop
treetops, the breeze stops
‘every breath you take'
is a questioning thought
of… just how long you
would last not breathing!
Read me? Not breathing is
phuucking bad! But breathing
is considered somewhat bad too…
go figure! Masked Men, Masked Fems
Masked Children; what is next?
Masked Pets?
Yea! Covid 19
is transmissible! Is, transmutation city!
Is an ever-evolving creative creature!
Not the same tomorrow as it was this
daze! And it is not ‘smoke' blown up your
asp! It, is in the smoke blowing out your asp!
Holy Jumping Juju-benzene! Living close to a gas
facility? Yea! You sleeping with her! Or him!
Okay, so the "19" is simply a number… Or
it is that ‘nervous breakdown'… Or, it is
akin to that ‘scary clown, ' whatever!
"The Covid" is something like "The Birds."
Not the band from the 60's, all the hippies
are in the death zones now-a-daze! No…
"The Birds" is that ‘Hitchcock' thriller!
Better watch than that ‘Jackson' dancing
Chiller… Reel black and white workings!
Currently as far as I can sense and see
the ‘public' "Q's, " johns, janes, etc's
are all jammed in lines at banks, ‘bucks'
big box stops and shopping for groceries!
That ‘bucks' thing is the worst! 45 minutes
waiting on a coffee! Phuuck that! You see this
you experience this… you express you are pissed
yet you deal with all this? Okay so corporate americant
was not totally ready for the results of this issue spreading
out all over the phuucking earth! Watts a cup-o-joe worth?
Huffing auto exhaust? Sitting in, an auto with your windows
rolled up and it is loaded with kids and dogs? South Park smug!
You get the drift, of that "passed gas fog" you sniffing? And
sweating and cursing and venting? "Reality Bites; " "another
nuance blows the dusts, " you and all this ir-reality clash…
none of your favorite clothing shops have the styles for
your size? Whatever! What is outside of your box?
Better not be expressing any STD's… please! Of
course these are yet around, but not being
passed as much as asp gas! Phuuck!
How do birds in trees rest best?
You ever take a moment to
watch birds rest in their nests?
Perhaps you should plan to do this?
Oh! Finding a park, that has parking is
damn near impossible! Can you walk and
talk? Can you walk, talk, and call? Do you
ever stop and listen to the crows cawing?
Crows caw to talk. Cow's milk is bought.
Night moves are nought? In your house?
No more ‘nooners' or ‘quickies' or
slipping on into hers pleasures?
How do you measure length?
Girth? Worth? Humanity's
hurt upon the earth? WTF?
Well the daze timed skies are
much clearer… in a month… the
air quality went from dire to just fine!
Imagine what it will be when those silent
georges stones writings come to pass! Gasp!
Choke! Gob! Toke? None, of this is funny is it?
Dizzy? Fussy? Gaseous? Cautious? Questioning?
Curious? Worrisome? Are you getting furious? 7?
Cooking frybread in the oven? Getting your fix
of "red berries"? Popping any fresh cherries?
No! Bet you are feasting on cheerios! It's cheap!
What else you cutting out or back on… "Outback"?
"Crab Shack"? "The Rack, " "The Horses, " "Gambling"
"Corner Standing, " "Kitchen Pan Handling"? "Pandering"
Politics and Men in Space suits? Men without masks?
"Gin without ICE"? "Dazed Mexicans"? "The Lexicon"
A late model lexus? New Cuda? BMW? Tesla? Caravan?
Whatever the phuuck for? Okay, so you got credits?
For the next quarter or so… then what? Panhandle?
Prostitute? Postulate? Pontificate? Paradigm shift?
Purposefully quit whatever it is you are doing or
thinking or becoming? How so very humbling
all the fuss around the current issue is becoming!
How do you make "humble pie"? Easily! Use Covid 19!
For this is most definitely the ultimate humbling!
