poetryBy Laurel Moss

Laurel Moss lives in Mendocino. She has a de-gree from Mills College of Early Education in New York, and has taught school in countries around the world. Her chapbook, Waiting for Dandelions, was published in 2000. She has had poetry published online at Poetry Magazine and in other literary publications, and is presently working on a memoir and short stories.

HelplessI lay in a foam filled quandaryProtected from what makes me tick

My computer daily tells me who is boss“You do not have this or that,You haven’t doneYou must do.”

Why? I ask.

It does not answer but sends insteadA virtual rose, an animated handClick here and there and everywhereAnd farther and farther I move to outer spaceIt is a race to see who will go faster in the end.And yet I know there is no endThere are just the molecules atoms and particlesChurning about, creating, creating, no end to creating

Have we set Pandora’s vengeance on the worldBefore our brains were ready to receive the informationWe would be extinctCreating our extinction in every pore in all our cells,Now desperate in that vast knowing?

HELLENIC PRIDE The farmer and his wifeWorking the field at mid-day in the stabbing heatPick up weeds, pile them on rocksTake off their aprons, dust their clothes Wash hands and face, sun drying themselves

The donkey, standing nearbyScraping his hoofs impatientlyAwaits the saddle, the tools,The gathering of firewoodHoisted on its back.

Together they all descend the mountain in regal splendor.The donkey sways from side to side, Antigone with bare feet carries a pair of polished leather pumps.

She stops to don them before steppingfrom the dirt path to the asphalt road and the village.

PORTRAIT OF A GODDESSToners, sex, hormones, liposuctionNo end to commerce in staying young.

And yet I gaze at thisToothless wrinkled elderand wonder what wisdom glints in her eyes.

I never had a grandmotherBut she who I do not know but for a photoIs my measure for old.

Is that snuff that puffs out her lower lip?What stories do her wrinkles tell?There’s smooth and wrinkled on her face,Her brow is furrowed,A ring piercing her nose,touch of white on the bridge.In what exotic place has she survived?Katmandu? Pakistan? Some Russian outback?

How do we stack up, our cosmetic clutterOur flaccid bodies supported by diet pillsSelf-help groups, weight watchers, pharmacies,Gyms, treadmills, sunbathing salons.Do we marshmallow out in saccharine threadsBleached and stiff to the bone?

Her jacket quilted and tied with a tattered cordA wart here and there catches my eye.Her gray hair thick, in wisps about her faceWise in survival, strong and sturdy, if bent.

“By being entirely dependent on science, yet closing his mind to it, he leads the life of an urban barbarian.” (Act of Creation, Arthur Koestler)
