Poetry: Robert Browning Hamilton

I walked a mile with Pleasure,

She chatted all the way;

But left me none the wiser

For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,

And ne'er a word said she;

But, oh!  The things I learned from her,

When sorrow walked with me.

Book Spine Poetry: Passivity

Here's another of my take on book spine poetry.

Passivity

Back on the road

Atlas shrugged

the hours,

the question concerning technology,

the elegant universe.

Books I used for this book spine poetry:

Che Guevara, Back on the Road

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Michael Cunningham, The Hours

Martin Heidegger, The Question Concerning Technology

Brian Greene, The Elegant Universe

Book Spine Poetry: Either Or

Book spine poetry has been a project of American artist Nina Katchadourian in 1993.  It looked fun sorting books this way, so, I gave it a try.

Here's what I came up with.

Either Or

The ethics of ambiguity
manufacturing consent:
Pride and prejudice,
crime and punishment.


The books I used are by:
Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity
Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, Manufacturing Consent
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Night

How I fall between shadows!
What is this night
that displays
light in absence?

The clock of sky
is relentless
in its slow circular motion
without a care.

I keep on falling.
Under its face
I am still,
small,

alone

as the sun seem absent,
waiting for the light
to break the night blue.
