3 Poems - Howie Good

A History of the Future

Solemn music reaches us
from an adjoining century,
like blast waves spreading out in circles. 
There were many people 
who trusted in acquaintances 
& secret attics to keep them safe. 
Let this air be a witness. 
Rescuers mount the stairs 
without ever seeming to get any closer. 


Not for Nothing

Can’t quite get things in focus? 
Some perish before they ever can. 

One small hint: 
if birds are talking Dutch, don’t interrupt. 
It’s the birth of the impossible, 
something just for elderly tourists
fumbling with camera phones. 

Why perhaps Venus remains 
yellowish and pockmarked, 
but, after dark, easy to mistake for a star.


Ars Poetica

Arrange 
3 pounds 
of monster 
droppings 
in a sort 
of ziggurat. 

Everyone 
watching 
laughs 
hysterically. 

The force
of laughing 
is such 
it dislocates
jaws, 

prompts 
asthma attacks, 

& causes 
hernias 
to protrude.
