Sounds Familiar

a short poem by Joe J Thomas

Barking out orders to infantrymen
Clucking like a chicken
Asking questions in Klingon

A sixty year old teacher in South Africa
A teenage Russian
The British voice in museums

A fight with Superman
The leader of the X-Men
A nameless evil from the pit

My job.
My voice.
What’s next?

Moment by Moment

… just some nice thoughts for the new year …

2am: my wife and I are awoken by a neighbor’s car horn blaring across the street.

I think the cat’s still asleep at the bottom of the bed.

We both get up and check out the situation.
Others are trying to silence the car outside.
I make a quick call, and our local police inform me they already know and are sending a truck.

The car horn stops.

… silence …

We both get back into the warm bed, and the cat moves over to lay on my left foot.
My wife rolls over to hold me and drool on my shoulder.

… moment …

The Kruelest Fruit

a poem by Joe J Thomas

Oh! Tiny orange, how you mock me!
Once the peel is gone, all is empty.

Bitter and pithy; the agony complete.
A broken promise of taste so sweet.

They hide you in baked goods, cookies and pies.
Drench you in sugar and chocolate to cover the lies.

But they cannot conceal the ultimate truth.
Oh! Kumquat you are most certainly the kruelest fruit.

Kumquats

Maybe We Ain’t Us

— a poem by Joe J Thomas —

I’m not who you think I am.
And neither are you.
As years pass, some cells have died.
Others take their place.
Atom by atom.
New memories forged and old ones slip away.
Like a magic trick performed by a great wizard.
There is misdirection and slight of hand involved. Continue reading

The Great Unsubscribe!

a poem by Joe J Thomas

 
Classes! Deals! Special Offers!
Designed to fill the seller’s coffers
From these my in-box overflows
When will they stop? No one knows!
I will end these desperate pleas
The needy masses who push their cheese
Delete! Purge! Unsubscribe!
Please do forgive my diatribe
