david berman's eternal wisdom

[spikeyena]

As a way of getting in touch with my origins,

every night I set the alarm clock

for the time I was born,

so that waking up becomes a historical reenactment

***

If you were cool in high school

you didn't ask too many questions.

You could tell who'd been to last night's

big metal concert by the new t-shirts in the hallways.

You didn't have to ask

and that's what cool was:

the ability to deduce,

to know without asking.

And the pressure to simulate coolness

means not asking when you don't know,

which is why kids grow ever more stupid.

***

Do you remember the way the girls

would call out “love you!” conveniently leaving out the “I”

as if they didn't want to commit to their own declaration.

I agree that the “I” is a pretty heavy concept

***

We will travel to Mars

even as folks on Earth

are still ripping open potato chip

bags with their teeth

***

I'm just letting the day be what it is:

a place for a large number of things

to gather and interact —

not even a place but an occasion,

a reality for real things
