Day: April 23, 2009

This one is scribbled on a napkin shoved into my poetry journal and dated August 6, 2004 along with Of Time and Aging.

If at first you don’t succeed may your rotting corpse serve as a warning to the next guy. -DM 6aug2004

Another on the same napkin:

Yesterday was never as hard as it seemed at the time. -DM 6aug2004

And the final is an old favorite that is not an original of mine.

Today is the tomorrow we thought about yesterday. -author unknown

This was written for a open mic night around 1992.

I wrote a poem the other day so in the spirit of the evening I would like to present it to you.
Ready?
It’s called "My One-dimensional Reality" and it goes like this:
Dot!
Well, it lacked a little point so I wrote another called "My Two-dimensional Reality" and tried to draw lines between the meanings. It was then that I started to get deep and philosophical and expanded the two poems into "My Three-dimensional Reality." It was here that my thoughts exploded in ALL directions.
I started to write "My Four-dimensional Reality" but I ran out of time.
And one day, I want to write about the larger dimensional realities but at the moment my concepts are beyond words.
