Mark Nichols Poems

By Mark Nichols & Mehnaz Hoosein

Kismet kismet aye meri kismet
Tu mera lamha aye meri kismet
...

Don't worry, babies
You're lucky just like me
We are the way we are
What else could we be?
...

I am hunting gathering
Roam the earth and happ'ly sing
O all I want is there for me
All I ask for nature bring O
...

Now we know
More than we did before
A little bit more than we did before
Something inspires me to want to know more
...

You've been hunting for something
You know how hard it is to survive
You've been gathering moments
Now kick your feet up
...

Sometime after the beginning of the world
And many years before its end
There is a story of the frog who sings a different song
...

There is a transformation
It goes like this:
From birth of civilization
And our own selves
...

West County Sex Gang Anthem
Sweet Cerebral
Dreams of Spirits Smiling
Jester of Goodwill
...

Symbols are extra-dimensional
They funnel and focus
Like magnifying glass to sun
Potholes
...

We suck at guessing

We are not half as smart
At any given moment
...
