A Poem For John Wieners

-Trudgeon

Nonsense

I translated Sukumar Ray's HJBRL (Ha Ja Ba Ra La) into English from its original Bengali a while ago. He was the father of Satyajit Ray. They are part of a long line of geniuses. You can check it out here if you're interested in Lewis Carrollish characters and silly rhymes.

History Today

Cold park bench back
looks still broken

Roll up those cricket chirps into
one more fat cigarette
hanging onto her two ashtray shoulders

The plants grow tall here
and the wind grows colder

Every day feels like Tuesday
or a red scarf in the summertime
When the migraine scent of sweaty leather
weighs heavy on my wrist.

The other bench has been empty for years
Not cold, just inconsequential
