JOHN'S LIFE
The review are pouring
halfway through the season
of “John’s Life,”:
an unmitigated disaster!
A situation comedy more sad
than funny.
Poorly acted, sparsely staged,
the villain too evil to be believed,
the hero unlovable.
Like watching a car wreck
in slow motion.
The only bright spot
those two up-and-comers,
ages five and two.
Maybe they can spin off successfully,
giving viewers something beyond
a numb ass
and a bad memory.
HORSES ARE BEAUTIFUL
Horses are beautiful,
contentedly snorting, coats glimmering
as they eat their hay.
Cicadas are beautiful,
making chittering calls in the sycamores,
flicking lizard-like wings
for eagerly waiting lovers.
Sparrows are beautiful,
battling pigeons for crusts and turf,
losing and trying,
frenetically grabbing.
Pigs are beautiful.
Geckos are beautiful.
Suckerfish are beautiful.
People are not beautiful.
