What If The
Tribal Instinct
Is No Longer
As Evolutionarily
Advantageous As
It Clearly Once Was?
Embrace Us, Oh
Willing Players &
AI Alike...
We Are The
'Non-Players'
Who Cannot
Succumb...
The Neuro-Divergents.

The images in
my mind of
verbs mating with pronouns are
sometimes broadcast on
TV. On TV: me sucking out and
not praising aerosol cans to
make a less money for
the unnamed company. The pressurised cans are
bronze, the
substance released in
a fine spray are:
advantageous states or
positions and
points earned following
deuce furthering causes. My too lewd comments of
their intercourse are
sometimes broadcast on
KG751 FM to
high ratings.

America has become a theater,
with actors galore.
Daily, many “wanna be’s”,
are flocking to our shore.
Some lay claim to being,
the best in their crowd.
But when push comes to shove,
they become purse-proud.
Only when advantageous,
does this become fact.
It’s not what people say,
but the way many act.
*John 8:32
Where bold breezes blow a wondrous world awakes,
they swaddle silken scenes that surround so many,
fresh air is an awesome advantageous aspect all told,
it inspires instantly without waver whatsoever,
empowered energetic edge to species human,
and amazing animals as one might often observe,
inhale invigorating images imbued that tantalise the rapt rambler,
magic meadow mindfulness gets a great gee up,
from well-found winds which waft,
woo and weave surreal semblance sumptuous,
when poets pause perhaps divine delightful dizains descend,
iridescence infinite inkling as angel aura atmospheres alights,
gust of golden genesis glad guest most warmly welcome,
shell strewn sea shore surface swept,
kaleidoscopic knots kindle conduits creative channel,
bard on boundless beach befitting benefit,
oodles of ornate overarch saline squall sequesters,
petrichor’s proboscis pleasure pick up post downpour,
quixotic quintessential quest quenched by fabulous fairytale flurry,
daylight dazzle’s deft dip driven by draught
when case came to close
Trump lied with long nose that grows
guilty we suppose
my poems may be crude
rather than having been rude
you became unglued
could be contagious
always was advantageous
also courageous
perfect particle
of arousing article
read at sabbatical
drawn with utensil
prepared a Christmas stencil
done with a pencil
on face found a mole
which became my greatest goal
take another pole
when germs are villain
need to take penicillin
when to are willing
when we were squirming
met someone with much vermin
a gorgeous German
here is what you get
Horn haiku has been better yet
me be best should let
I dreamt of you in Diamonds
The essence of refracted lament
Advantageous to the brought
Juxtaposed with rainbowed purpose
Two fold in ambition, yet distinct
With its discourse.
I dreamt of you in Numbers
The essence of logical reign
In admonition and retribution
The pearly facets of disdain
Perplexing your inherent shadows
With warmth and simple subtlety.
I dreamt of you in Water
The essence of sweet dispersion
Cast to the shadows
In a Lifeless quietude;
Its relevance never given
Amidst boasted crests
Of indifference to change,
Your attitude.
From Wales or Suffolk, claims knowledge of literature,
looking at sheep is far from just being some easy cure;
ever heard of Dylan Thomas, of course - one of the best,
but you're nowhere near of passing such an erudite test.
Such ingratiating manner, just playing to the gallery,
why don't you just share your homilies with old Valerie;
I have no jealousy, rather, scornful of inaccurate claims,
it's amazing that you should aspire with gratuitous pains.
However, I still forgive you for your horizontal position,
perhaps in future you could give us something to rely on;
I'm glad I'm not from a 'devolved' unfortunate nation,
next you'll be telling us that autism is advantageous.
You're bright, don't like to be assisted, oh well let's laugh lol,
perhaps you can find in your heart to forgive a bitter troll.
NB. A worzel is a country bumpkin.
Contrastive in one's beliefs unique environment, and
assortments of cultures, faiths, faces. Countless places
economic and social statuses.
A range of scholastic objectives, Diversity is very advantageous
sharing a common missions, yearning for acquiring new skills
and a distinction of one's individuality, and fulfilling one's
dreams and accomplishment. Diversity
Well, the path lengthened out
past any horizon
the crickets and cicadas
firing up their sweet strings
We headed toward heaven
that late afternoon
thin lines of sweat o'er our lips
fingertips poised to kiss
when the rains came
our jackets torn off
maneuvering for advantageous position
steam floating o'er faraway plains

We all wear masks of sorts...
the politician more comfortable
than most of us – his/hers made
of latex – easier to contort into
whatever image more advantageous;
driven by public opinion...or which of the
puppet makers will pay more; the Democrat
nose now, sword length
into the heart of Freedom....
It is sometimes advantageous
To be getting on in years,
For it qualifies you to be
Vaccinated, it appears.
The flip side, though, is obvious –
The experts all have said
That the older folk with Covid
Will more often end up dead.
The conclusion, then – in some respects
It’s better to be young.
Though you can’t get the vaccine,
The fearful you won’t be among.
That mind doesn't bother,
That mind isn't afraid.
He just wonders
How can a new theory be made.
He doesn't care about the king,
Just goes on.
He is born with wings
And certainly, he will be long gone.
He talks of something unusual,
But he is good and kind.
Always makes strange conclusions
Because he is a great and genius mind.
That mind is unique
And he always wants to stay alone.
He is treated freak
And never perfectly known.
His experiments are lunatic,
But experiments' consequences are advantageous.
His way of living is not dramatic,
He is courageous and sometimes behaves outrageously.
He isn't free from thoughts,
He has many things to find.
In return, nothing he has ever got,
Because that's the karma of genius mind.
He does things at full blast
Because he is blessed with high intelligence.
He forgets about his successful pasts,
And works on not to earn chastises.
He is passionate for results
And keeps infatuation for something new.
Despite all sort of insult
He will raise his point of view.
Innocent as a child
And never stays behind.
Curious like a wild
Because of his bright and genius mind.
Now enough with excuses
you’re just a useless loser
making no effort stuck in a routine
bad habits need a new thing no magic
use your uses for this
alike when you abandon booze and cannabis
grew strength to abandon it
see you win when you fight
but all you do is flight
confusion gave you that bike
but confusion now wise
after confusion died
including depression goodbye
anxiety clings on
finish it off
advantageous circumstances offer no second chances
you grappled for this vantage don’t watch timid as it passes,
time now to stand tall not flaccid pump the blood spastic get active
been small stand massive sod passive
become the master
surpassing the class
of the master class
that laughed called you daft
Your head is clear
the chance is here
if it passes, life does too
No Fear
Being Disingenuous
Haiku

Many act friendly
only when advantageous,
benefiting them.
Needy
Wants!
They are so hard to handle.
Everyone has one, even if they don’t want one.
Some try to hide theirs, but it shows.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
What are they exactly?
Hard to say. They show up in different ways…
all the time.
Disguised as unrest, colored in the corners…
by regret, and disobedience.
Yet, we put them back in the cage.
Cornered for the moment.
Work to pay the bills, our lives so rounded.
Work to eat and sleep and work again.
Is there no end?
Dreams should be big, meaningful and above all…
“attainable” to everyone to some degree.
Not everyone is a singer, but we all sing.
Not everyone is a lover, but we all long to love.
When do you give in, to the willingness to live?
When it is advantageous to the betterment of tomorrow.
Until then work, and save for today,
The future, is mine…(yours, ours)
I have a need, but am not needy.
I have a desire, but not unclean.
I have a value set, that I wish to give…
Payment is not necessary as my requirement(s)
will then, be met by prayer.
“Want”(s) will no longer be necessary,
as I will be fulfilled.
