by Marc Gunn, September 15, 2004 I started this song with a melody that was sorta 50s-ish with one of those ancient themes of man coming to meet his lover in the middle of the night to sweep her away. Then, I thought it be much more entertaining if that lover was a zombie! Course, […]

The Neverending Drama of Psy-Chronic Sinusitis
by Marc Gunn, 9/22/2004 I went back to the doctor today for the next round of prescription meds to help me overcome the residual cough left over from my infection a couple weeks ago. The mind is spinning around like a whirling dervish. Racing. It’s spastic. Thanks Monsieur Prednisone And the neverending drama of psy-chronic […]
Trees of the Veneto
A couple years ago, I was driving around the back roads of the Veneto in Italy and took a marvelous photo of some of the trees. The trees out of the area have a very unique look to them. During WWII, Italians cut off the top limbs to use for firewood. But they left a […]
Musical Ignorance
by Marc Gunn, Sept 12, 2004 I was contacted by a musician recently who’s narrow-minded opinions sparked this. Musical ignorance You’re afraid to listen, learn, and enjoy something new. You judge music instead of learning from it. You profess your musical superiority While children play crop circles around your arrogance. Your creativity extends to the […]
Angels and Demons In Motion
by Marc Gunn, Sept 15, 2004 There was live music out behind the Texas Union that inspired this wee poem. Angels and demons in motion, Waves of electric guitar And erratic breathes of moist air. Song after song in pointless repetition While people ebb in time. An angel rubs her eye. Gold Hispanic skin in […]

Climb the Fence
by Marc Gunn, September 9, 2004 I was watching Il Postino yesterday and found myself inspired by the movie and recent thoughts on travel and Italy. It yielded this poem. The sea, the stars, the sky, The earth, the sand, The world is a metaphor For something else, And that ‘something else’ Is a metaphor […]
Italy Escapes
I was trying to think this evening, what is it I love so much about Italy. Sure, there are the obvious answers, like It’s ITALY! But that doesn’t quite explain it all, especially knowing I’m co-dependent and that one my reasons is to escape. I’ve been an escapist all my life. I can’t think of […]
Soliloquy from Julius Caesar’s Salad
by Marc Gunn, Fall 1987 I wrote this in the 10th grade for a class project while studying Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. It comes from the voice of Mark Anthony after he finds Julius Caesar recently killed and in a salad. O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of poultry, That I am meek and gentle […]
