The Mezunian

Die Positivität ist das Opium des Volkes, aber der Spott ist das Opium der Verrückten

Mockingbird

2020 May 11

The hummingbird said to me that day,

<Just whistle & I will fly you ’way>;

but I couldn’t whistle,

but only make pathetic puffy-lip spurts,

& so it left me to be devoured by vultures.

Sealab 2020 [ VERGISS DAS LEBEN DAS ICH FRÜHER KANNTE VERGISS DEN DEN ICH ZU HAUSE GELASSEN HABE ]

2020 March 27

En mi refujio nuklear

en ke me rekuperaba de

el kaso de “C++”,

ojeaba biejos kuadernos

y leí un mensaje de me de 2015

ke adbirtió kontra

“la tiranía de 2015”,

a ke solo pude responder,

<Tengo malas notisias de 2020…>.

In my fallout shelter,

recuperating from

my case o’ C++,

I flipped through ol’ notebooks

& read a message from 2015 me

that warned gainst

“la tiranía de 2015”,

to which I could only respond,

<I have bad news ’bout 2020…>.

Also, as I was trawling through my ol’ blog posts, seeing what haiku I’d forgotten to post, I came ’cross this brilliant work o’ art & began to worry that people might think I’d plagiarized Kanye West’s magnum opus, which I hadn’t heard yet, only to realize that this predated “Lift Yourself” by o’er a year. Though it’s unlikely, I like to imagine Kanye happened ’pon my weird-ass obscure blog ( perhaps he was an EarthBound fan & was looking up info on it & stumbled ’pon the blog post I’d published a li’l mo’ than a week before ) & took inspiration from that poem, knowing that this blog was too obscure for anyone to find out.

Well, I did. & I’m-a comin’.

Frosty March ~

huddled together

winter pinecones.
