Premium Member Slightly Off the Grid
Time to look
Look closely
at the backward
forward thinking me
Consumed
by my own consumption
Hybrid driving wanabe
Thinking I'm thinking of others
when it's all about me

Big house 
with some solar panels
Seventy two inch plazma TV
with over Two Hundred Channels
All the latest gadgets and owners manuals
On earth day I feel good
because...

Beyond the Grid
1.

Whenever the truest edge doesn’t hold,
Another existence it does belie.
When causality is a broken line,
Unseen variable has cracked the mold.

Simple cause and effect gets in trouble
Abstruse patterns underlie life’s events.
Straight Euclidean angles and tangents
Reveal deep truth when they twist and bubble.

Infinite weaving of the light...

There; in the waterfall,
 I join many tears.

My tears pour from aching knees,
burdened with hearts of solid gold
preaching equality; from voiceless
leaders.

Panhandlers, clutching symphonies
in four lines, covet

corners that prey upon my
peace- just their day job.

Every check-out has a glass jar on
the counter; seeking tithes for

lost humanity,...

Living Off the Grid
Living off the grid..
I bid you ..
It's a challenge..
Living off the land..
For it's quite bland..

A taste of the great outdoors..
Mother Nature exposed..
 
Absolutely no power..
I cannot even take a shower..
Walk to the stream to fetch some water..
I feel like a fish out of water..

Always in...

California Cows Start Passing Gas To the Grid
Another one for Andrea D.

Imagine a vast vat of liquid
Covering 5 football fields
33 feet deep in manure
Think of the energy yields

When big piles are seen
Of manure all green
Most people just see piles of crap
But if truth be told
It's a pile of pure gold
When you siphon...

Grid Lock Bunch of Crock
Grid Lock Bunch of Crock

Grid lock to me is
Surely a big bunch of crock;
What else will they hock?

Power Grid
Waiting for some idea
to penetrate the fabric
of this processing system.
Nothing there, no electricity.
No current, DC, AC
limp cells fill all our channels,
Incoming, outgoing watts.
Thinking, reasoning, judging.
Beauty beyond intellect
insolated thought products
organized thought principles
individuals, groups, man.
Input, output, turbo charged
data in nano seconds.
Nothing, no power, no data....

Off the Grid

Sometimes, somehow
i am asking.. is the right time is now
carry over
cross the river
chase your dream
scream.. make it extreme
there is nothing you cannot do
if you had the courage 
get out of your cage
get into the nature
change for the future
time to break the chain
just think how to...

Romance and Futility At the Grid Iron
These feet and hands move with pride

While frozen minds reside in stations

The gurgle of romance catapults

Limp eyes fortunate to be blind


Setting tables, memories on the wing

Eclipsed lung of chain linked usury

Chance on the balcony flips greater pockets still

Silver rings on the oven to match electricity


Now...

Illuminating the Grid
Angels observe our unfolding galaxy
Seemingly eternal to the human mind
Misperceptions they are superior in nature
For them like a temporary blink of a firefly
Their understanding of the prison we have created
And our ‘reality’ submerged in the limits of linear time
They whisper sweet reminders that we will...

Crosswords 
they wreck our brains  
with cunning cryptic clues 
that we solvers seem to  find so 
puzzling...

The Grid

I am a single line connecting at an intersecting point
with many other lines

These lines that I am a part of form a massive grid
that represents humanity

We are all a unified force here on this intersecting plane
and we are all decidedly equal

There is no more...

Off the Grid
I wanna get lost with you
try to find our way back
give up and just be.
 
I wanna loose myself in you
drop everything and forget
all the pain and the wrongs done.
 
I wanna lose track of time
with one another
and be late because of you.
 
I wanna...

Just another day of obstructions, heartless
                              souls, lack of communication on a daily. Obstructions

Off the Grid
I will uncover
That which you did
Mute yourself
And go off the grid

Here’s where you keep
Your memento hid
To boost its value
Get off the grid

So you think 
You can beat your taxes
Hunt the landscape
Sharpen your axes
The true survivor
Never relaxes
Nobody ever much did

You backpedalled 
Slipped and slid
Turned tail and...
