Too Many Poems About This



Another pile of words
to fall on
deaf ears.

Like cordwood next
to a
funeral pyre.

Picket signs stacked
near the trash
after the protest.

The avalanche already
down the
mountain side.

The seas receding
after the
Tsunami.

After the fact,
we react,
without proact.

Necks are sore
from all the
shaking and head down sobbing.

One more number
posted on the
big tally board.

While repetition
repeats redundantly
because we said it before.

Another pile of words,
spilled on the floor
that we’ll ignore.

No.
No more.
Again.
