Job Application

Post by Lightning Rod » March 25th, 2011, 11:15 am

Job Application

I couldn't make it as an anarchist
so I decided to sign up for the Antichrist
I owned the job description, dashing, rude
seething, indolent, vain
a general pain
and Pride, yes Pride
my most valiant qualification

My early reading convinced me
that I was nothing special
a late bloomer
falling behind half the time
catching up for the rest
but I was blessed with an essence
a secret smell
noted only by dogs and babes
it made one cry and the other bark
with the stark realization
of how little we can know
really know
know really
no, really
really know

Because it's just a show
mercifully short from curtain
to curtain call; with hours
minutes lose their glow
and seconds hardly remember
the years we spend to reach them

Science couldn't tell me for sure
how long a moment lasts
the dependent variable being
into whose eyes we stare
so I told them I only wanted
to work part-time as Antichrist

I'm sure that's what cost me the job
"These words don't make me a poet, these Eyes make me a poet."

The Poet's Eye

it's a part-time world,
part-time people,
with part-time gods.

kick the table...
there's a skip in the symphony
of this life,
this part-time dream...

don't wake me,
I'm not partial to mornings
