Glory To Thermodynamics In General
Glory to thermodynamics in general...

and generation of heat in particular
cuz yours truly 
spoiled with trappings 
of Western Civilization.

How ideal I imagine 
to dwell in a self sufficient domicile,
where thrum of the central heater...
automatically activated 
upon advent of twilight,
or self adjusted/regulated 
based on outside temperature

Systematically Contrived Dust
The universe is immeasurable,
  we are merely infinitesimal
      machinery keeping pace,
as churning cogs tick wildly 
  transmitting within allotted time, 
attempting heartbeats' cohesion
  clocking our own honed destinations,
accumulating illusions 'tween masses
   waiting to return as...

Smooth Road
I stare at the stark darkness ahead,
My hands squeeze the steering wheel
While a simple trepidation musters its way to my heart
The road is long, my headlights keeping shadows in check
I see the smooth path, intrigued by its uniform contentment
My tires and many tires before have...

Premium Member In the Fecal Folly of the Scheme of Things Puke Poetic, Sorry
OMG this is what I think as I am reading? 
thus pus poems and yes they stink
simple in word mire contrivances with 
rancid rhyme scheme redundants that
exude explanatory expectorants spouting 
word wormy willy wally whilst wonk wails 
worthless words in causal clits of

It's inauguration day, January 20, 2021.
I could be at home, watching the TV presentation
pomp and pageantry. But old, achy, onerous and 
anxious, bladder full with no toilet near, I wait 
in a chilly car in a VA clinic parking lot, 
entry to warmth and light...

At the Edge of the Precipice
I do not know how men many we were
or how we went, what we saw on the way 
nor do I know for what ungodly purport was ours
or what goaded us on into deeper uncharted territory 
despite our tortured souls and aching bodies protesting to...

Premium Member The Crazy World
That chilly night in Bucharest
As I lay down in my bed to rest
Torrents of thoughts assailed me
Avalanche of questions tore my heart apart

As I reminisced over the events of previous days
I felt the world moving in collective dementia
As disasters and heinous crimes of every shade
Broke...

Here Here Please Define Quantum Mechanics For First Dummy
cuz...well...this cerebral cortex lacks
ability to comprehend anything 
   more complex than playing jacks
aware his severe cognitive ability hacks

away at such juvenile gibberish 
   and most likely exacts
a prediction my intelligence 
   on par with bracts

very much aware that

Premium Member Dubya Dubya Two
I was relaxin' on the patio the other day, musin' as I often do,
About a few things that brought about vic'try in Dubya Dubya Two.
There were no computers, cell phones, night goggles, drones or such.
How we won the war sans such contrivances, I have wondered...

Glory To Thermodynamics
and spoils of Western Civilization.

Thrum of the central heater...
manually activated upon advent of twilight
(since yours truly not resident within "smart home"),
nevertheless warm cockles and muscles
appreciate basking, and luxuriating,
within climate controlled environment,
whether bone chilling deep freeze of winter

sets indentured jaws chattering
or contrarily when sweltering
hazy, humid and...

At Nightfall
When this time, foul up and dull, passes away.
When all contrivances light untangle.
When the grave-digger is himself entombed.
	Where’ll your hiding place be?
	Stock your arsenals,
	Store your bullion,
	Mere matters they’ll become.
When the earth’s table turns,
When its element is burnt,
When its clock strikes its last,
	I will quietly lie
	And...
