Accumulation Poems

Everywhere I see
the consequences of her deed.

I wonder: did she give
even a flash of thought

to the fact that serpents
do not talk? 

And in that day
when she began to drown

in the accumulation
of her years and the

shadow of her life 
began to...Read More

Icy freezing rain
Fog, sleet and winter precipitation
Ice accumulation
Can it get any worse?...Read More

with eyes averted in graceful melancholy
what joy could be left not in belief
in new territory aweless with stale miracle
pond tossed stone rings ripple and die
obstinate and prolonged no going back
less new territory than new humility
once determined that the future is...Read More

Our old nemesis,
capitalism,
is much older than democratic theory,
and even older than profoundly resilient democratic practice,
which is rather like Christianity--
often communion preached
and seldom democratically and multiculturally proficient,
fruitful,
viral,
contagious,
multiplying economic loaves
and politically empowering fish.

Capital-rooted values
derive from tribal chiefs,
elite healers and clergy,
and, more recently,
in...Read More

A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

Back in the golden age
of NeverLand,

I am a hoarder of antiquities,
offering longevity to ephemera.
Obsessed with an insatiable 
urge for accumulation
I fill every available nook 
stacking layer upon layer
of emotional possessions… a
treasure chest of memorabilia!
Then, in wistful, solitary 
moments of isolation,
I shall seek their reassurance. ...Read More

The hungered in-flight spots its need to last,
The beleaguered seize every occasion,
Fittest scores a new day, other has passed,

Left to make the status quo unsurpassed,
Lost must survive and waive the equation,
The hungered in-flight spots its need to last,

Maintained senses and...Read More

Schlerotic schlemiel schleps...

Into lonely senescence -
three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating accumulation
of "baggage" thumb

of right hand thrust out
silently raving, quaking
cursing ultimatum parents
(soffit to fascia in)
saw fit to fashion
and hammer home

red hot poker rage
their singular male offspring
middle child of...Read More

Bushels please stop this we need our light to be sought
Match come to candle unless moths become fraught
Pure enlightenment's easy, walking out of darkness
Meditations upon meditations engage with our prowess

Letting love in, allowance, saying it, "I love you".
It is in...Read More

There once was man of means, who owned land that yielded a great harvest.
Thus caused the tearing down of a small storage house, to building a greater storage house.
Over time, he spent much of it being merry, selling small portions...Read More

System integrity can grow more deeply resonant
only as diversity grows more widely interdependent.

Diversely rich integrity
longs to universally emerge
unitarian yin-inclusive
and not uniformly yang-dominant,
exclusive
privileged
supremely kleptocratic.

An economic and ecological reason
Win/Lose capital wealth-accumulation values
trend toward historically WesternWhite male racist privileged mono-structures
is because we do...Read More

what do you mean ?
your conduits are blocked
by accumulation greed and
insecurity
what is accumulation ?
accumulation is cluttering
of unwanted thoughts
in the attic of your soul
the desire to possess
to defeat the fear
we are living in a flux
i do not fear to love you
i...Read More

Our life is like a wisp and a willow.
A bleep and a blip.
Our life review an accumulation of every moment.
It was difficult for me to understand
 
Until I got older. Now memories come hard and fast,
Strange little moments that had...Read More

No antihistamine can 
unblock the lifetime
accumulation of stoppered emotional gunk
zapping, undermining, and polluting spunk
mine early life in retrospective avast flunk
stripped mined wasteland qua sinkhole,

where eternal reverberations soundlessly plunk
inescapable deafening, and
blinding this targeted
"scapegoat" bullied by most every punk
wrathful verbal sucker punches,
whereby...Read More

Water is wet
Light is bright
Food is tasty
Fire is hot
Ice is cold

Almost everything has a description
Except for your indefinite "Today"
Which is just a product of your input
And an accumulation of your yesterday

A little sleep and a little slumber
And the product will...Read More

The thing I least look forward to,
The root of my financial ills,
Is the vile administration
Of my monthly pile of bills.

You'd think a single guy like me,
Whose needs and wants are all but nil,
Could whiz through funds manipulation
When it comes to...Read More

accumulation
choking the room bitterly
an embarrassment
carefully tromping through it
side-stepping junk gingerly

My pack rack eye-tis
surrounds me untidily
disturbing eyesore
jumping over largest pile
not inviting company

The USA is Number 1
Selling arms all over the globe
We earn our wealth fuelling conflict
Who needs a Congressional probe?

The rest of this world is nasty
So we don't really care who dies
As long as they buy arms from us
And swallow our...Read More

So many, maybe millions
No, billions. Trillions?
Of stars, a quiet, hot snowfall
of white stars; sandal season squall.
Each birch tree here outdoing 
January's record accumulation.

Weeks of hour after hour after hour
upon day upon day upon day of
birches' burstings into snow tears
seed of...Read More

There are people who believe others should not have as much as they
regrettably, they are many of the same people who employ us. 

They do not understand that sharing has universal urgency
those that share are holy.

Sharing is divinely ordered,
to not...Read More

Imagine an economy that empowers
 peoples hopes and dreams. An economy
that makes things available for anything.

Money becomes secondary to the dreams
 in one's mind. Idea's paid for not with money 
but with time.  So many ideas's come and go,
because...Read More

The snow blinds
   a massive ocean of white
   stretching out across rooftops, trees, earth.
Early March storm
   a blustery nor'easter
   laden heavy with rain and snow mixes.
The day pale gray
  blinding with...Read More

we cease to grow once we
finish the structured education
the only thing you do then
is to accumulate wealth
and spoil your children
 by instilling the value
of accumulation...Read More

The bad love. 
Dragging luggage you unpack without permission in spaces that need air. 
Bad love. 
Allowing flowers to grow and then thrusting emotional thorns at one another. Wearing an armour of defence to bed every night, shedding debris of...Read More
