Insignificance of Being


These dehumanized bureaucracies which compose everyday life , these system of organs devoid of a soul Not caring if we have names or separate goals to pursue School, work, food pantry airport. The list could go on, of the places where this occurs but it'll stop HERE so that you can meditate on this for yourselves and what it means for our futures in the decades to come And so your life may be opened like a starched parasol when the sun beams down on it with new significance of meaning

Ian Mccleary

Poetry is important to my life because it gives me a way of saying things I never imagined were in me. My poems deal with all kinds of subjects, my attitude on today's culture, art, corporations, nature, etc. But these aren't the only things that I write about in my poetry. I don't have a favorite poet, but probably Michael McClure is the poet I have learned the most from, from his readings on YouTube.
