Best Exclusions Poems

Peering in the windows,
Of those lives I barely see,
Except when tokens are procured,
For rides, intermittently,
They look at me, I look back,
Nothing severed or taken,
My pith, unimpaired,
And by them, unmistaken,
Do they think that my life,
Should be transformed to theirs,
With foreign exclusions,
And tainted, quaint stares,
Their subtle indifference,
No...

from "To My Wife":
So love by love we come at last,
As through the exclusions of a rhyme,
Or the exactions of a past,
To the simplicity of time,

The antiquity of grace, where yet
We live in terror and delight
With love as quiet as regret
And love like anger in...

A prayer for God to bless Americans,
whether northern or southern,
is also a reminder of traditional political mindfulness,
basic awareness of our economic investments 
in global health and security.

No one "keeps" these northern confederations 
of uniting states and provinces
safe from ecocide.

MAGA prayers for growing greatness 
assume they...

Profound insight climbing the mountain
The higher you go the more beautiful view 
Opens up wide spread in front of you
You see the world under your feet
Overwhelmingly liberating experience 
Shocking overpowering, and scary
You play walking on the sling blade 
The line that only God can balance
Once...

don't be afraid to be foolish and stupid    (Heroditus)

When I first met her
     I knew there was something
     she gave me

     a spontaneous drumroll
     ascending to...

Once within our time
we birthed a CEO
who would be Pope,
but might settle for Grand Wizard.

He was selected by a near majority vote
of a highly confused Board
anxious for economic and political climate survival,
terrified of degenerating anti-ecological prospects
especially during their own exclusive lifetime ego-claustrophobic watch--
fake divinely authorized...

STARTING OVER MIDST MERLOT AND CLOVER

You ask me if we can start over as if we just met
with all the errant paths i've taken to forget
let the past be forgotten and today become brand new
and all my expectations depend upon you

we can lay in the...

~ (~) The journey towards home, yes quiet the tender longing, my soul, weary, inside inside-
out in between outside all about; 

given the struggle, attention... being and remaining always seemingly to be quiet-and quite 
the insidious, aspiration, perfection, whereas it would lie finally; 

it stands-for-me-to...

You may find my manifesto on healthcare in America hostile
and I don’t give a damn or crap for I am telling the truth.
Healthcare in America is a multi-billion dollar industry for
profit because it does not matter if the company is a non-
profit organization or for...

Your voice kisses the breath of the morning wind
Snapping in the solemnity that bears a cry unto God.
Angels have come to earth; that in slumber seemed,
Like the wind creaking among the faith we once had.

Life is our desire, miracles are among the cool shadows,
Lovingly we...

Sittin’ here just getting’ high-
Sharing stories between us guys

Am I dreaming sweetly or in a nightmare?
Does it matter?
Do I care?

I don’t need redemption or anything else-
I just want to learn to love myself!

Escaping reality & conquering fears 
have dulled some neuroses over the years

so much...

Her tiny hand in mine. 
So precious, so innocent, so true. 
Sacrifices I make – by choice or force….but ultimately for her sake. 
Sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh.
Loneliness, exclusions – mine to embrace. 
To face, to accept.
With patience – I’ll learn to fly. 
Again....

Jumping to conclusions
Reinforces your illusions
That the way things are 
Are how they shouldn’t be.

To avoid any confusions
Or suspicions of delusions
Some investigation
Seems to be the key.

Then you’ll find, to the exclusions
Of some paranoid collusions,
That the things you thought
Are not exactly true…

So be sure that such inclusions
Happen...

Whatever entity or God we pray to
whatever is our spiritual perception
May that entity or God teach us to love the entire world
Everything and everybody in it
With no exclusions…no exceptions.
