Rosary of thought unread aloud Jon Hillenbrand, October 6, 2010May 10, 2013 It’s a rosary of thought, it’s over and over, and it runs through my head from bead to bead. It doesn’t matter. Like a fight with myself. You know, eventually, I’m going to win. So I wait for the victory. I close my eyes and wait for the victory to come at last. It DOESN’T matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. I pretend it doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. Cuz it doesn’t, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. I run and I run and I run and I run and I run and I run and I run, it doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter, I pretend, like a poem that’s never read, it doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. An overcomplicated watch like a bomb that doesn’t blow. And it’s fine and it’s fine and it’s fine and it’s fine, cuz it doesn’t really matter, doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. In the end it doesn’t matter doesn’t matterdoesn’tmatter. But it does.

Poetry The Perils of an Open Mind April 23, 2010December 30, 2015 Absolutes of ideology are succulent butter to people who are in the checklist stage of preparing to sail with Greenpeace, pasting enlarged dead baby photos to poster boards, annoying their coworkers into voting for someone or screaming about the dangers of running with scissors.
