Premium Member Codons of Contempt: A Crime Against Empathy
We came not for conquest,
but for containment—
though conquest is what happens
when containment itches beneath the skin
like sulfur spores in a sealed lung.

They had the secret.
Not gold, not weapons, not prophecy—
but language that healed.
Real language—
not poetry, not prayer,
but syntax of cells.

Their infants spoke in codons.
Their trees...

"Motherland"

The “Removed”,
Charlestons across the keyboard,

fingers have a personality and a mind 
of their own, don’t you agree?

the stalwart mind converses with the frivolous fingers 
its stark increduality, considers All above All

they’re incorrigible, those lithe fingers,
like feathers they flutter in the stark 

glow of an illuminated...

Two Things You Never Talk About At Work---Politics and Religion
Things might just turn out alright...

Long as we own the ability to see through political "solutions" and recognize 
propaganda. 
 
Things might not be so bad...

With so many people waking up to see that following is not the only way.
AND
Ideology can be toxic.
Why not take...

What Is Your Answer
His head lifted, and looking for his brothers, 
He found his mum, sanely able again to relate to him, 
Cold, death-like figure, icy face, warm outline of a kin, 
Grieving, her brave face emanated hope for him; 
His head stayed up, but only for a...

Premium Member Disconnecting Dogmatism
Our humane-empowering species,
steeped in regenetic history
of human nature connecting
disconnecting
reconnecting
preconnecting,

Has an unfortunate tendency,
especially in Abrahamic historical traditions,
to imagine that our own religious tradition
is not only free of historical-cultural adaptation
but also the one supremely right-wing Way
orthodox Truth
healthy Life.

And, further, guilty of inhumane hubris,
of condemning those outside our...

One Day
One day not so long ago 
I walked
Never alone
For the world 
Is always my home

It was a late
Spring snow
Yet I felt
Invisible red roses
Offering sweetest perfume
To my nose and soul

There’s such warmth 
In snow-filled winter
No bitterness
No lack of forgiveness 

There’s much coolness 
In hottest humid sun

Much...

Do Not Abbreviate
Do Not Abbreviate


 Do not abbreviate your love for me 'cause you are tired
 Let it develop enduring root in your hatred,
 Do not sieve my affection, it is only just
 Let it overwhelm you with a deluge of disgust,

 Hungrily, you embezzled my love...

Premium Member Ostracized by Nuns
will to be diff’rent
fractals with cursive curlicues
cream-colored overalls

ostracized by nuns
and formal catechisms
with habitual fashion sense

now I’m in control
spinning like a pinwheel
with poetic enunciation

showed them, showed them all
i could take off my uniform
it’s monotone gray

Motherland
Love, my chariot phantasm rattled dust off time's 
Shuttered veil, a slow reveal of the eight year span, 
And then sped farther back, espying an 
Earlier epoch when life it seems began. Where 
I, fixed gaze upon the wildflower waif 
In the ochre breast of...

Sackcloth and Ashes
Midnight chimed day assassination, 
  sudden as a brain haemorrhage, 
  star-stabbed by psychotic pins; 
  issues aborted of carbonised wombs 
  blacked streets, tar-slithered. 
Recovering drunk, cold sobered, 
  imaged upon liquid plate glass, 
  appliances dormant and...

Premium Member Growing Green Cultures
Inside my elegantly intuitive,
but SupremelyWhite Male neglected,
and cooperatively We-managed RightHemisphere,

Grows a nutritious nuancing
and nonviolently
nonverbally communicating
win/win systemically curious
dipolar co-arising
(not so much bipolar distancing
and often furious)
courageous sense of win/win 
bicamerally accessible humor

Like when is green
the new black
is not when redhot passions
remain stuck with old white privilege
