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

A Poem

Pacing ourselves to do more is like
counterparts mismeasured-
Abiding by the cubicles promotion,
rather than the heart’s direction.
If we’ve just hurriedly drank the
remainder of our coffee to be
somewhere- what
are we doing.

-M. Taggart
