Living On Poetry

I live on poetry
Instead of money
Means and ends reversed
To alter the curse

Lifeblood runs thick
As stoic veins bleat out
Their passionate terrain

I will die knowing
What life means
So while money hawks circle
Chasing beer and dreams
I will float along
Making food out of song

Soulmate Imaginary

Separated by distances
As time dances in and out
The evolution of our being
Caught so tight, interwoven
Hearts palpitating, pressing
To expolore each possible nuance

There's a carnival of imagination
Left poised on every vacant lot
Teeming on the market
With unusual resale value

Captivating soul dance ether
Murmuring through density of dreams
Your thick breath whispering heat
Draws me towards the infinite

Labor Pains of a New Era

The rational subject
Dances in duality
Stripped of earnings, personhood urging
Marked by contract, on paper
Life transforms into property
Belligerent because of tooth enamel-
That unexpected biological decay
Proves that mind stands still

We've built up a hoary artifice
Exclaiming our particular version of truth
Covering the ground with gridwork and lines
Mining jewels to keep the helium high
While filling quotas to make the ceiling rise

I hear the great man/ nature divide
Residing in our pattern of life
Speaking out a vast anguish
Birthing pains of a new era

We will make it through the womb
Our power lies in our pleasure
As mankind always traverses
An uneven terrain

Playing Tennis With My Dad

Help me
He won't wake up these weekends
I came back home
I help him get unsick
Mom runs her usual parade
Dad just watches TV and escapes
He wants to change
But can't make himself rearrange
Disk problems in the back
Ironically im schooled in physical therapy...
he doesnt want to listen to me 
So time putters on indefinitely

Food, Sex, and Money

Come back to reality
the fuel line, source, and parking head
you cannot embellish 
what has energized for millennium
Don't water down what must be devoured
Zeal in its proper input/ output
True depth of cave man passion

Utopian Future of Virtuality

Where artificial intelligence meets
 Kinesthetic tracking
 Cognitive science traverses
 With a new Second Life Enterprise
 A bold horizon
 Of man-machine-imagination
 Engineering virtual platforms
 Connected body life hyperspace
 Dreaming on cyber integration
 
Envisioning an astral sphere
 Of consciousness free from the body
 Circling planetary interdimensions
 A cerebral socialized infinity 
Marketed to mass humanity
 Intertwining flood gates of creativity
 With our physical apparatus 

Parallel dimensions virtualized
 As real as the bark of a tree
 Catapulting post human destiny
 Interstellar, monumental trajectory
 loosed from the boundaries of place and time

Sunday Morning In Abstract Space

Waking up in a dorm
 
Sunshine streaming in
 
Voices outside rambunctious on sidewalk
 
Traffic abides like automation
 
 
 
Heading to the dining banquet
 
Wondering, wandering
 
Who am I in the world?-
 
Quickly, feet now moving mechanically
 
 
 
Last night was a total blur,
 
Recalling bodies pulsating with nerve
 
On a sweaty, winding floor
 
College faces streaming out of hallways
 
Watch out! The world's behind you...

Shaq With a Human Resources Degree

This is the year of reinventing yourself
No matter what it takes
The jack of all trades is upon us

When you can no longer 
Dunk with perfect impunity
You have to play the game differently
Grab an organization degree
To top off the all star lunancy
And sit tight with middle aged comeback

The Habit Mind

The habit mind
Is the holocaust
Of technology automating
Rational enlightenment
For the slavery of time
And poverty of creation
