Animals programmed to kill:
Some demand entertainment
to appease the flames
of their DNA,
which they try to bypass
through consciousness
or convenience.
Others simply survive
without questioning their appetites
(They make great TV in their chase and struggle).
Meanwhile
the veggie rest
distil the fluids
of their neighbours:
A chain of convivial parasites.
And all this happening
in a Cosmos with lamps
that come and go
without rehearsal,
like the lights of the ceiling of a disco,
a Cosmos that keeps shifting
energy and mass
without remorse,
like accountants play with figures
The absent Developer
sated his thirst for creativity
in only six days,
leaving behind
a beautiful,
ugly,
random,
orderly,
bloody,
dusty,
tender,
holly rocky Mess.
His desk is covered by mountains
of meaningless,
timeless paperwork.
If Intelligence is just artificial,
what is then Faith?
Customer Services are down.
Don’t settle for evolution.

Tremor. Collected Poems by Gary Beck. Video Poem. Entropy
Tremors
A poetry collection by
Gary Beck
For Immediate Release
Poet Gary Beck once again captivates with his newest collection, Tremors. As a driving force for creative expression, outrage has dissipated and turned into complacency and disconnection. But this complicated life continues to present many disruptions that grow or diminish, but are often disturbing. And as we encounter these bumps in the road, they are often seen from a place of fear and confusion, leading us to ponder whether civilization is declining or if it is merely our own aging bodies and minds.
“Your poems are lovely. You rock.” – Bibliophilos Wanderlust
“Loved your poems.” – Ocean Diamond Magazine
“Powerful work.” – The Houston Literary Review
Entropy
When I was young
time seemed to pass
tortoise slow
agonizing me
trapped in school confines,
sterile rooms,
draining the spirit
from anyone
not facile.
Time speeded up
as I grew up,
though it took a while
for me to notice
and Albert Einstein
further confused me,
relatively speaking,
with theories requiring math
beyond my entropy.
As I grew older
time passed faster,
school days waiting for the bell,
decaying memories.
Vacations whizzed by
before I could enjoy them
and hardly refreshed
rushed back to burdens.
As old age creeps closer
brief time flees faster
and I am uncertain
that I can still accomplish
anything meaningful
in remaining days.
Tremors is a 124 page poetry book. Available in paperback with a retail price of $10.99.
ISBN: 1941058647. Published through Winter Goose Publishing. Available now through all major retailers. For info or a review copy, contact: jessica@wintergoosepublishing.com
