Trying to reach the wish;
Luck was gone;

No encouragement;
Too late.

For this week’s Sunday Funnies, I decided to ‘make’ a poetry out of a page from an old novel called Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
For this Sunday’s funny assignment, I used a page from Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael and created my own poem.
“The leader had been a different person.
Fancy white collar, imaginary sweetheart, married.
He’d cheated on her and he wouldn’t leave.
Empty, she made herself stiff.
This time it hadn’t been funny.
Poor, Rosa.”

“What meaning is this? The climax of creation, man? Nothing seems unspoken. Religion, culture, jellyfish, gorillas created for man? No. No, of course not.
I used a page from Daniel Quinn’s Ishmael and created my own poem.
My poem:
the sound of the talking was nothing
then something changed
imagine the presence of one
speech occurred over and over
my attention possessed;
now I employed a different sound;
by small steps,
in some mysterious way,
I was truly born
as a person.
