Seaberg Acrobatic Poetry - Graffiti & Life is a Joke

Ronnog and Steve Seaberg, inventors of acrobatic poetry, perform Ronnog's poems with Mark Wolfe at Moving Spirits Gallery in Atlanta

LIFE IS A JOKE

Looking for an answer in court
Looking for an answer in an egg
Do you want to adopt or abort?
Where are you going to hide?
Or will you hang your honors on a peg?

Are you winning a popular sport
or taken for a ride?
A groom but never a bride.

But you are, of course,
a teenage girl on a horse
looking for a warm hairy friend
on whom you may depend
maybe spend
the night in dark and cold
while you hold
the riding crop and the reins
without stop or stains.

Or do you win the race
by the fireplace
in soot and flame?
You will not be the same
but go up in smoke.
Your only life was a joke.
