Donald Rumsfeld - d. June 29th 2021

There are people we know

whom we know are dead

and people we know 

whom we do not know 

are dead

and people we do not know

whom we do not know 

are dead

but we know Donald Rumsfeld 

is dead.

John McAfee - d. June 23rd 2021

I scanned my files for you

and found the following:

1 viruses - P4r4N01d

3 trojans - Liber-T, 

SpyGrass, DeathCon4, 

and malware, malware

in every baleful eye.

Brian London - d. June 23rd 2021

The past is an empty ring,

and that sound you hear

is the sparring of a ghost,

plying brutality as a career,

broken nose, broken heart

yet tough as Blackpool pier.

Damaris Hayman - d. June 3rd 2021

I cast the runes this morning

and they were clear; 

death is nigh 

for the jolly Englishwoman, 

the white witch in tweeds, 

giggling at her own reflection 

in the depths of her reticule.

Ned Beatty - d. June 13th 2021

You have meddled

with the primal forces 

of nature, unclothed 

a masculinity previously 

unseen but now all gone, 

steel into rust and dust, 

heading downstream.

This poem says not soon but now

This poem says to learn not know 

This poem says to find not show
