4 Poems

Adam Soldofsky

Just Like it’s Supposed To!

The church bell sounded so rich in the old movie!

So beautiful!

In the cool dark of the theater!

It caused a stir!

The bell rang out in one life!

And echoed in another!

Just like it’s supposed to!

 

 

 

And Yet!

People are such beautiful interlocking tiles!

Under the heavy boots!

The world is a dystopian heaven!

When you have friends!

And yet!

I am always lying to them!

About little things!

Because I value my privacy!

But I abhor isolation!

Nothing we can do about it!

 

 

 

Ahhh!

You are having a nightmare!

It’s torture!

But it’s not real!

Ahhh!

Don’t you feel better!

The sigh of relief got deeper and deeper!

Finally it swallowed the house!

And all its miserable occupants!

 

 

 

Oh My God!

I thought I’d be a bit smarter by now!

And how did these bloodsuckers get my number!

Don’t they know I am bird watching!

Don’t they know the birds are dumbass watching!

Oh my god!

I just realized why!

Your love is good!

Because of its tediousness!
