Derek Earl Houghton Poems

There are two types

of people in the world.

The ones you know.

And the ones you don’t know.

Oops.  Nearly forgot.

There is a third.

There are the people you

don’t know you don’t know.

Fuckem'.

When he tried to explain death

he was lost for words.

This was not regrettable.

Some things  by their very

nature defy explanation.

Speaking of the aforementioned

life had taught him that Uncertainty,

can on occasion, conceal brilliant

options  that one might have hardly

considered, and that might very well

have been sorely missed should they

be harnessed by the strictures

and banalities of language.

Nothing stands in the way of anything .This is a certainty. Any notion to the contrary is more aptly characterized as stubborn illusion.
