Best Anesthetized Poems

To the legend of silence
that speaks in trembling stillness
I’ve seen your halcyon halo~
that illuminates wilted weeds 
and tilted tendrils 
unfolding perfumed wings,
allowing sizzling seas of...

Yesterday’s sweet corn
     now rests among the shucked,
          where norms’ victims lay.

We’re monopolized by the Saran-wrapped food,
the plastic cutlery,
absorbed by the clutter of the food tray.

Numbed by hours of jiggling,
the carting of torpid bodies through interminable...

Unshakeable groggy state
plagues mein kampf
impossible mission to awaken
this comatose zombie
drugged horror - by potent

self manufactured narcotic -
oppressive tantalizing
nightmares indistinguishable
when supposedly conscious,
eyes cannot differentiate

dusky "reality" from

As I crawl upon a sober Road.
A friend lends a hand, and many stories are told

so many people like me that have chosen life

Youthful temptress, aging oracle,
Nymph-like debacle, Gorgon spectacle,
Retreat from retribution’s precipice,
And a transient victory wrought by avarice,
To listen to a parable
Devoid of the empirical.

Early morning
his first thought:
A glass of Gin
A refreshing effect
Relationship of evil to
devil's medicine

One glas
becomes to three ... or five
The clock shows half past seven

Floating in vacuum,
morphine intravenous supplied,
pain deadened,
she lies dormant, oblivious to all,
thoughts suppressed,
unfeeling and benumbed
in  the emergency cubicle.
 
Her husband holds her hand,
icy, like winter...

After what I have claimed and said
After the moon had glittered and the sun had shined
After a day, exactly a day 
A new hour began...

KINDNICE

kind and nice
drift around
this house
damn 
kindness
she is so 
nice

windows
mirror 
sweet
smiles

trapped
butterfly
disguised
desperate
to be pinned
anesthetized

nice and kind
picking up
pieces after
the fall
stuck on 
blank walls
blind
kindness
dies

Anesthetized constitution,
Demoralized contribution;
Righteous inconsistency-
Wrong-doers frequency.

Subliminal conflab,
Criminal back stab;
Caseless quarrels-
Faceless morals.

Psychedelic legislation,
Humanity disintegration;
Tormented composure-
Indecent exposure.

Respect annihilation,
Sacramented violation;
Varnished illusion-
Tarnished delusion.

Armed paraphernalia,
Strung up genitalia;
Mouthed truths, clamped-
Sealed lies, stamped.

Commune...
