Thru An Opened Bedroom Albeit Screened Window
Thru an opened bedroom (albeit screened) window...
Accessible twenty four hours a day
seven days a week,
fifty two weeks a year.
Spring 2022 Curtain call at
Highland Manor Apartments unit b44
framing Mother Nature nook
ever changing scene unfolds
analogous to storybook.
I espy (hear and see)
while sitting at table
housing Macbook Pro
plethora of wildlife
on a band dinned patch of woodland,
yet slated to resemble

A Harlem Hoodlum Albeit Respectable
A Harlem hoodlum, (albeit respectable)...
ready for night time in bedlam
after swallowing me favorite dram,
cuz reasonable rhyme resembles flimflam.
Whiling away his time playing solitaire...
initially prepped, honed, and crafted
November second two thousand and twenty
slightly tweaked February nineteenth
two thousand twenty two.
Then with less than twenty four hours
(today 23,760 hours
until November fifth 2022)
harkening, heralding or (worse case scenario)
hindering the

Albeit Nature
Albeit Nature teaches one to be kind
One is not so always in their mind
At times I push and rush
Like water flowing in a gush
Is it Nature that simulates us or do we
Are we teaching Nature what to be
This is a thought l I randomly ponder about
Even though it is not much I can do

Still Reeling Albeit Figuratively After Amidst Realization
Still reeling (albeit figuratively) after amidst realization...
keys to apartment and 2009 Hyundai Sonata went missing
Yesterday August tenth year
two thousand and twenty one,
I experienced blitzkrieg of explosive panic
shattering an ordinarily calm veneer
me (a doubting Thomas) resorting to *****
re the higher power to rescue me sanity,
inducing absent appetite
and subsequent loss of weight
(think irritable bowels),
which shell shock spurred

Inspirational, Albeit Ironical, Aspects of Critical Race Theory
The U.S. Army has embraced Critical Race Theory
Day-long classroom sessions -- dogmatic, dreary
Soldiers' eyelids closing, getting dreary
One is loudly snoring, name of O'Leary
The bell rings, all revive ~ once more cheery
No class tomorrow! Off to War vs. Iran, dearie

A Hoodlum Albeit Respectable In Bedlam
A hoodlum, (albeit respectable) in bedlam
whiling away his time playing solitaire...
November second two thousand and twenty
fast approaching the final countdown
With less than twenty four, twenty three,
twenty two... hours
harkening, heralding or (worse case scenario)
hindering the presidential election,
I trumpet mounting tension and suspense,
whereby anticipation hangs
analogous to sword of Damocles
precariously looms - casting dark shadow
across the

Pitching Electioneering, Albeit Democratic Ticket
Pitching electioneering, albeit Democratic ticket...
as 2020 presidential election nearing
pleading joshing, and endearing...
The choice for commander in chief dum...
dum... dum... dum..
will winnow down, thus
political prognosticator pundits
no longer remain mum
between Donald John Trump,
whose second term win,
would find yours truly numb
versus Joseph Robinette Biden Junior
could infuse flickering
uneasiness among electorate
(quite a few skool
of hard knocks alum
including yours truly),
who attests

Panegyric Praising Phantasmagoric Albeit
Panegyric praising phantasmagoric, albeit...
unseen prophets providing perspicuity...,
Who commune with yours truly
within state of mind between
sleep and wakefulness
methinks disembodied spirits
infiltrate mine consciousness
while suspended within trance.
Meditation invokes light hypnosis
gently beckoning me to surrender self
fearlessness disappears relinquishing
clutched grip upon ethereal essence
without substance, I wonder
how emotions, ideas, longings...
can weigh so oppressively
as if such elusive thought processes
(however they become manifest
spontaneously
