How high can we fly?
     (After all, we must try!)
     Like the mythical Icarus
       Can we touch the sky?

     Yo, the answer is 'Yes.'

Isaac Asimov wrote of scenarios unimaginable 
   Robot companions and industry-wide takeovers
His 1940 classic, "I Robot," is now quite actionable
   If anything, a bit outdated, ripe for a make-over

In the 1950's we marveled at the audacity
   A woman totally...

Day in, and day out, from the ripe old age of five
I’ve take to sharp objects and whittled at their sides.

Plotting the precise angle with penetrating gaze,
the slant of slice, just so nice, as memory replays.

With curt tongue and tireless ire, I shred the sages
Burroughs,...

home again, jiggety-jog
oh, how kindly my castle welcomes me!
the pungent loves of earlier meals and my dear one's perfume
Je Reviens and Acqua Di Gioia

like manna for the sensual senses
a weary man dripping from a weary day, but no more
I leave my mundane muddle on the...

I’m not sure what’s happening in this country…sometimes I think it’s being overrun by fools…in some states they’re banning books…in my state, Florida, they’re banning talking about gender and sexuality in schools.

While closing up the bookstore the other night I was thinking how crazy can...

*** THIS WEEK ***

(“If my doctor told me I had six minutes left to live, I wouldn’t 
brood.  I’d type a little faster.”  Isaac Asimov)

The sliced portions of this week
Collapsed, an almost eloquent fall
Into a slow-motion slide 
Of morsels
Then, still unnoticed, on into
The...

Who was first to write of cultures we read,
With their trans-galactic real estate greed?
The Greeks were dreamers of heaven above
Where the gods and their men fought wars for love.
The Asian myths were clever old stories:
Supernatural ancestral glories.
The Mayan drawings fulfill that desire
To dream of ships...

Unlike your Mr Asimov
Whom I hear likes Rachmaninoff
  
  My limericks are clean
  the point clear to be seen

Perhaps he drinks too much Smirnoff!



Spelling used is how the man spelt his name when writing English....

I was walking down the streets one day
Through lanes so dark and still
When a sudden light lit up the way
And I found my body thrill.

The shadows on the walls were dark
My riot thoughts couldn't endure it
When, in the doorway to a park
I met a familiar...

The Enemy



He was sleeping when he felt the edge of the knife
Cold, sharp, hard against his throat.

“I am going to kill you now” the enemy said.

“Freind” said the waking sleeper
“You can kill me if you choose
“I lay here helpless at the cutting edge of your...

Stranger
I never really met him
But I know him
I know his face in profile
The furrows of his brow
I’ve seen it enough times
At Barnes & Noble browsing Asimov
I’ve seen him
Leaving the loft
Watched his hands
Holding the door
For his momma at the beauty parlor
He always tips the stylist who...

BIG BROTHER

The science fiction of yesteryear
Is now here, or all coming true
A futuristic view was imagined
Wunderkind authors like Asimov
Thought much of, and influential
So much potential on every page
In this modern age, it has emerged
As tech has surged, dominating all
But heed the call, it can go...
