Gary Diamond Poems

Above all else
The lessons I learned
Are probably not much more insightful
Than anyone else
...

There's something classically appealing about a good woman
Dressed in different kinds of lingerie.
Some like it so much, they have seperate pieces
For any given day.
...

Of all the things we've been given
Whether by God or by evolution (not sure which are we)
It's the ability of thinking, sensible reasoning
That I call
...

I don't fear the future.
I know what it holds.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't concern me
Because it does.
...

To me, television is a chore.
It is a bore.
It shows half a program, then makes you sift through adverts for more.
...

Closing up and clamming up in social situations.
Walking into a party full of unknown faces.
There could be a genius in there.
...

Does it make any sense to you to say that the shape of a mans soul
Is not dissimilar to that of a weapon.
Certainly the shape was molded and mutated
But always
...

You've seen the funhouse mirrors at the carnivals and fares.
Some make you fat or thin, others short or tall.
Some make you look like you're not even there.
...

If you can't get along in this life
Fucking quit.

Because we're all quitting.
...

Have you ever felt time stand still and then appear to run forwards and backwards
Simultaneously?
Did you ever see a painting of a tea clipper on the wall
Melt and fade into spinning circles like watching several washing machines
...
