"Okay. This is one weird poem I made up when I was 16. One of my first poems. I always wanted to do this kind of poem but I hardly had a chance to sit down and figure out what to write... I wrote this 01/23/97...Tell me what you think..." - Ryan Jake to poetheart in e-mail 0n 06/16/00.
Nothing.Darkness.Empty Silence
Motion.Pressure.Sudden Violence
Instant Chaos.Without warning
Rooster crowing. Monday morning
Sunlight.Matter.Planets forming
Mountains.Oceans.Desserts warming
Nouveau artwork.Newly fashioned
Without critics.Never rationed
Algae.Plantlife.Blooming flowers
Grassland.Forest.Leafy bowers
Hidden beauties.Hidden dangers
Without trash cans.Without rangers
Fishes.Monkeys.Upright mammals
Canines.Horses.Thirsty camels
Human nature.Nature loses
Human triumph.Winner chooses
Taxes.Cocktails.X-ray glasses
Nachos.Stoplights.Backstage passes
Tie-dye t-shirts.Easy money
Random error? Very funny
