Poem

It’s “I get to,”
Not “I need to.”
It seems that I
need to remind myself
of this simple fact.

“To be, or not to be”
sums this up best.

-M. Taggart

“To be, or not to be, that is the question.” -William Shakespeare

Fuck it. Just another walk in the Park.

I remember writing this before my Father died in October of 2020. Once, he told me that I should write simpler things. Things people could understand. Nah. Fuck that. People get it, or they don’t. Words come out how they do.

Read on. It’s good for the Brain.

Poem #Pause

It’s easy to feel the pulse.
But, to go beyond,
there’s a rubber band effect.
Trying to bridge a gap?
Duty, versus Self- obligatory,
or arrogance?


Or, simply, trying to make a difference matters.
Echoing down this hole, hoping to find you.

-M. Taggart

Poem #Anew

Our dreams did push forward
and we did follow them
The path, we understood, was not out own.
And became more and more narrow
until finally

It’s Sunday morning again.
You’re alone.
Although the birds are outside,
with the new seed.

-M. Taggart
