Best Departments Poems

On the day 
that John Lennon died, 
people were just going 
about their business 
as they did every day. 

Mark David Chapman 
was reading 
Catcher In The Rye 
void of his holy self.
 He would have had to 
Imagine there’s no heaven. 

John took the elevator 
down from his room
 at peace with his belief 
that there was 
no hell...

There is never an ending
		to the spending
	a world of paper
and plastic to collect
and horde
	clothes
	and cars
	and homes
	and jewelry
	and fine wine
	and paintings
	stocks and bonds
	vacations 
and expectations
entire vocations 
	devoted to 
disguising the numbers
the Caribbean masquerade
to volumes of recorded
purchases and voices 
of invoices
making
	discreet
choices 
all
to extend  
the accumulation
of dates
and...

You march calling for taxes on
things that you think we should not eat,
tax the soda, tax the chips,
and above all tax the meat!
We point out that you have no right,
you stamp your feet and raise your voice,
utterly convinced that we
should be deprived of our free...

 Silence is Deadly 

Stand up
if the masses did
Trump would be a gravestone


Notes:

Some will tell you never to be silenced, yet will not mention what exactly is the issue. This is  typical of people purporting propaganda, hoping to win people to their side without...

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations can attest
That none raised a claim against him, even in jest,
And reports on his environmental conduct all agree
That he never injured a sprouting tree,
And that all he did was to the favor of Mother Nature.

Apart from a short peace-keeping mission...

Capitalism has been blamed by worthless people rich in power and other peoples' money.

True capitalism earns money.  
Jobs are created by capitalists. 
Workers earn a living from them. 
Bankers gather together workers savings and use this money to create more by usury. This is...

"Shrouded" 

found in the humanity
not in the divinity
many pilates 
wash their hands
of this

long enough
for the clouds 
to descend 
then rise 
fly away 

criminal as charged
electric in the body
the mind already risen
the observer now crucified
takes notes

passionately 
shrouded in the crowd
lux vitae let loose
through holes in the...

It all started when I took a typing test
I did 95 words per minute and made two errors
The requirement was 50 or more words
Human Resources was impressed and set up the Department interview
It was my history in becoming 33 years ago
This is my personal streaming...

The strongest woman that I ever saw
was born thirty-four years ago,
to loving parents who doted on her,
told he of the great places she’d go.

She was popular all through high school,
never failed to pull down straight A’s,
was taught to be strong, and never take crap,
a path...

I wonder how many parents of students
suffer from studying and teaching white nationalism
against tides of multiculturing change.

And I wonder what our school boards
and state departments of bored children and family thinkers and doers
feel about child abuse
and neglect to actively love especially wounded children
too familiar with...

Dear Local Boards of EcoSchool Education,
Departments of Environmentally Protected Walkable Transportation,
Cooperatively Maintaining Public-Private Works
and STEAM Play
and WinWin GreenGames,
Hysterical Historical Associations,
Social Work Departments of Climate Restorative Therapy,
and Public Health-Wealth Departments:

Just the usual lower non-elite 10 to 50 percent
still graduating from WinLose...

When stepping from the shower,
Dripping wet and set to dry,
I like to know a bath sheet’s
On alert and standing by.

It needn’t be expensive
Nor the fluffiest of brands,
Just large enough to wrap me up,
The simplest of demands.

For the towels they call “bath size,”
Though I guess they’d...

Northerners are heading south 
Blue and Orange in an east coast bout 
Right now individuals who are sweet and peach 
Relaxing sunning on a Tampa Bay beach 
Not showing power 
To those folks on an island filled with skyscraping towers 
Still vacationing enjoying rays 
Hoping...
