Ubiquitous and perspicacious

Are wise and wonderful

Words used by the gracious

To illustrate their prodigious and consummate urbanity

Even though their meaning is lost

On most of the world's humanity.

Over the past six decades, Gene Larson has written about anything that strikes his fancy, from human idiosyncrasies to the endeavors of interesting creatures to navigating life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His poems are sometimes whimsical, sometimes philosophical, and not infrequently both at once.

Featuring quirky and complicated rhythms, Larson's work is most effective when read out loud. It's recommended that you do so loudly, in public places, so that everyone can share the joy.

You probably won't read this. But maybe you should ...
