Stephen Roxborough Poems
someday everyone will be wise in the future
everyone will be sensible and forward thinking
wear sensible shoes and act accordingly in the future
wise action according to everyone will be the act
...
an article in a prestigious journal
claimed she won the Oscar because
they made her act with a rubber nose
the nose transformed her
...
she wants me to be her private
jesus she wants me to grow
a scraggly beard
and speak in parables she wants
...
she was a heavy writer
everyone of significance agreed
even weighty critics raved on
...
the church says the earth is flat but i know its round
for i've seen the shadow on the moon and have
more faith in the shadow than the church because
the church says the earth is flat but i know its round
...
donated his mind and body to science
experimented with sweet cheap wine that
coated his stomach in wrong cough syrup
...
my body is a temple i shall not want
it tempts me to lie down in greener pastures
seeding impure thoughts for lush gardens
of flowering flesh lusting for loaded pistols
...

The Best Poem Of Stephen Roxborough
Accordingly
someday everyone will be wise in the future
everyone will be sensible and forward thinking
wear sensible shoes and act accordingly in the future
wise action according to everyone will be the act
of the future everyone will be futuristic someday
according to god according to everyone and their shoes
in the future everyone will be godless and free
act accordingly in the future or else
play accordions wisely in your godless future
in the future accordions will play themselves
act three in the future: there will be no accordions
everyone will get nostalgic for the accordion god
and act as if they were wise in the future
everyone will be according to god
in the future everyone will not act accordingly
wisdom is unholy in the future
to act accordingly is to stay out of trouble
in the future jails will be bigger and much better
everyone will need some punishment in the future
thinking of accordions will be a crime
lawrence welk is a revolutionary in the future
to act accordingly is to act with wisdom
everyone will act as one in the future
accordingly for everyone to act
in the future everyone will be discredited
everyone must act now to avoid the future
be wise and dont act accordingly
play accordions in the street the future cannot
wait for wisdom and forced accord
one chord might save the future
