The big ones

Quick! Hide!
Under your desk,
go and make yourself small.
The grownups have gone nuts, dropping
F-bombs.

The poet's brief

Posted by Rich Magahiz Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:25:00 GMT

Please do
see me in court.
In my Valentine’s verse,
your software changed ‘disengaged’ to
‘engaged.’

The five stages of middle age

Posted by Rich Magahiz Sat, 26 Jan 2008 15:54:00 GMT

I

Matisse,
in his forties,
was years before his peak.
So what’s the rush? I’ve still got loads
of time.

II

Bastard!
that young pipsqueak
doesn’t deserve that car.
I raced Mustangs when he played with
Hot Wheels.

III

Okay,
I’ll lose some weight,
and switch to light beer too.
I’ll show my old lady I’ve still
got it.

IV

Hang on,
maybe there’s a way.
If I could sell this place…
Dammit, what’s the use, who am I
kidding?

V

Ali –
he missed his chance
at gradual decay.
Strange to picture him living to
my age.

Beep

This is
your brain-shaped box,
out in space, dreaming worlds.
This alarm tells you it’s time to
awake.

Boltzmann’s idea might work too well, filling the megaverse with more Boltzmann brains than universes or real people.

It came one morning

Posted by Rich Magahiz Tue, 18 Dec 2007 15:02:00 GMT

Dashing
through the dark house
in his droopy flannels
he cries “giddyup, giddyup,
let’s go!”
