[31] Two Poems, J. H. Johns

 “Where Have All The Handsome People Gone?”

 

Where have all the handsome people gone?
Are they staying home,
have they left town-
or have they turned into
the trolls and miscreants
that we see all around?

Where have all the handsome people gone?

 

“Maybe Next Time”

 

it will be-
different;
better;
happier;
simpler;
saner-

yeah-
maybe,
maybe next time.
