Best Constituents Poems

In times like this it’s pertinent to stroke the longest cord
for hummer is impertinent and seldom brings discord.
Each slippery politician who runs yelling, “Come on Board!”
is asking for some hummer from constituents lapboards.

He wants them on their knees paying, for taxing fills his hoard
Just a...

the Buzz, Collins, Armstrong, applause.
first man, there were three
earthlings who were projected into space.
crowded, not of this world
of celebration and glory.
before lights flashing, attention-demanding.
mission impossible, a presser.
to the moon, but dry
in the throat.
watch the hands, fiddling with papers,
sooth-petting. not practiced
in speech; not 2024 peak.
lights out...

It All Started With A Parade

All walks of people crowding the streets 
Like moving vessels of a mighty fleet. 
Jolly Diana, a wake-up call at dawn; 
A throng is gathered down the town. 

Cadets go marching, called the corps; 
Gutsy kids are watching from above...

Somehow, 
Forward, and headlong
I knew it was day again

There was a shift in the dark mutterings of the Devil,
Who now refused to sleep as I refused to sing,
Almost an anticipation in his voice,
As if he needed this newfound attention,
And as he waited I wondered how...

In despair, I contemplate
ending my miserable disease-ridden life!
My body is damaged beyond repair
And so intense is the anguish that I can barely bear.
I'm a worthless mess helpless , a broken man and
my future is just infirmity and agony
so I’ve decided it all ends tonight…
so I...

My thought for this day,
although still early,
is respect for hope.

Respect for our interdependence
and respect for our challenging differences,
important, yet hopefully not as powerful
as our interdependent love for healthy life.

Yesterday
I noticed a brown cardboard box
in the corner of a reception area
for our Infectious Disease Clinic
with a...

Find your way
from brain stemmed
seed tree infancy
of glorious humanity
history

Find your way
From correct diverse limbic resolutions
back to shared soul temporal-health 
co-acclimating diverse struggling issues,
nutritionally resilient production
and root to branch to reroute transportation
and lack of wealth concentrating consumption.

Find your root systemic way
between sensual body limber fruits
cooperatively communicating

Politicians are the most pretentious
 to emerge from the primordial mulch 
of creation.
They pretend to love, 
they pretend to care,
In the case of them doing any deal 
remotely benefiting constituents
 is on condition they profit in prestige, 
wealth and a seat, a boardroom chair.

They hug...

His name was Ed Goodwin, a handsome man with piercing steel blue eyes, known in the small town of Marianna Arkansas as the leading architect. If DNA flows through our veins from one generation to another so does the Spirit from the past.

At dusk, Goodwin...

Politics is all about haves and have nots.
Who gets ahead.  Who waits in line.
Privileged ones, and the rest get denied.

Politics is about relative truth.
Data be damned.  Conspiracies claimed.
Favors for votes.  Constituents maimed.
Politics is about what party plays.
Which party stays.  What's your...

Politics in the USA on a downward spiral
Overworked anthems saturated with denial
 Contemplating this stalling and lobbying
 Makes me wonder why things are happening
 All we have left is a vote counted right
 Constituents unite to kindle their light
 Learn about who is the correct...

Flint 
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American dreams made real
Within its prime
Men in factories perfect their craft
Spit...

An open letter to new legislators,
new chief executive officers,
new judges,
and all new healthy climate parents and other advocates.

When you were in the process of securing this new position in your life,
and, hopefully, the lives of your extended family,
you probably were expected to speak fluently
about how...
