Best Athletically Poems
Thesaurus DreamsHe was my thesaurus dream,
I met him in the days of geometry and algebra.
He always appeared learned and enhanced,
A rainbow I couldn't touch.
An essay of nouns, verbs and adjectives,
A narrative and descriptive essay of my dreams.
A sphere of silence between him and I,
I grew to...

Dorm LoveOurs was daily mysterious,
sometimes near mystical,
rapture;
a sensual yet platonic
dorm-mate love affair,
within the only male grad student corridor
at SFSU.
He was the presumably straight Vietnam veteran
southern white good ol' boy,
athletically studying Japanese,
with a gentle passion for young Japanese women.
Did his all things Japanese culture love
precede his...

Evaluating ValueIn what ways have nutritional
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,
or a decade,
or a lifetime,
or a millennium,
and in what ways have toxic dissonant disvalues
and decaying trends ebbed and flowed?
Where exactly?
For whom and not for whom?
How, when, and where...

Simple Synchronization XWeary weapons wearing writhing works wonderfully wreathed wigs...... Oh wow how magnificent the yellow radiance of a piece of straw. Leaning bending learning. Admire nit a wisdom curl if a pitch of ball. Throw away in a diameter. Then run run run. A custard cyber...

EmmaEthereally, breathtakingly beautiful
Miniscule your faults no compare
Maddeningly, temperamentally playful
Athletically challenging flair
Essentially charismatic though guileless
Monumental in your achieved goal
Motherly manifestations you bless
A spiritually progressive soul....

Greenpower DreamsLast night I dreamed.
I dream--
sometimes too athletically,
fertile regeneratively,
viral, positive and negatively
and in-between sub-climax performing
some wins and some perpetual losses
more ambiguously back and forth, up and down, in and out,
and not nearly sensual enough--
every night,
Full through new moon great transitions
of climates black and...

InkMultiply a horseradish with a jar of mustard and gain what exactly? A pickled onion? A beetroot? It's simply quite fascinating the divination of an oven glove. Materialistic bacon joints in a suit can often jump very high in the air. Above the clouds of...

Is way quick to remain gated

Yet these same straight

Riding Sixties ShotgunI was in the shotgun seat
in 1960 Lansing Michigan
headed straight as a harddrive
through ghettoizing "Negra Section"
hunting down our commercial whitebread
heavenly ThriftyAcres
Wanna be a WalMart ImPlantation
but not Southern enough,
somehow,
to withstand straight-male competition
in fluent White Privileged culture
favoring evangelical
flavoring monotheistic
monoculturing AnthroSupremacists

the durability, longevity, and tenacity of *****sapiens,
after screaming headlines report one after another atrocity.

Rolling, Slicing and RumblingRoller skates
Roll smooth
In circles and orbited figure eights
Gliding great with the rhythmic moves
So quick
So slow
So cool
Ice skate
Aerodynamically
On icy floors slick and wet
A ballet on a frozen slough
Beautiful blades
Upon delicate
Crystal blue
Rumbling wheels
Radioactively
Alive with pumping legs that reel
Forcing friction like a mad banshee
Athletically willed
Heart rate
Speed kills

Prominent DaysThey were prominent days,
Guided with a traditional excellence.
Athletically exceptional and parallel,
As a man and a woman.
Silent partners of intellect,
Corresponding in languages that their friends wouldn't comprehend.
God's stern kingdom,
Complex and diversified.
They were an on screen romance,
Waiting for God's moment.
Choosing education as a companion,
Surpassing Romeo and Juliet.
Reaching...

Winter RhapsodyWinter rhapsody, the snowflakes ascending slowly,.
Reaching the rooftops and houses.
Winter rhapsody, pedestrians in their winter clothes,
Warm caps snowsuits ,coats and boots,
Winter rhapsody, a horse drawn sleigh riding through the pioneer village,
You could hear the jingle bells.
Winter rhapsody the athletically dressed skiers zooming...
