food with wooden spoons of weird shape;
it may seem archaic
in ages less artistic...
an idea we still imitate....

Accents blending in the air.  Southern drawl slowly mixing with Caribbean beats,,
Until the energy of the Harlem Renaissance tops it all off.
"We don't like you." Says the wind to the teenage girl.
"You have to much mixture,to much blend.  You don't fit into any...

I know what a poem
looks like.

I know how to make
my prose look like verse.

A little tuck here,
an indent there,

et voila! It’s verse! 
or worse ...

a pale imitation of seem.
(can I have some ice cream?)...

oh spouse! oh brother!
two bro-in-laws, and
dear old dad, a full
living color gift
dance to the tune:

YMCA

i know y’all can hear it
in your head.

their hands form each letter

“Y” “M” “C” “A”

shirts shimmy
up the tummy

red-headed rapscallion
two year old toddler

Soliloquy to Love

To be loved or not to be loved; restatement of existential indecision.
No less a question to the universe, no less unanswered, no less
Turned aside by fear of the unknown.
Not to be loved; a land of emptiness plagued by hunger and the 
Inner ache...

Two golden souls, star-crossed and torn apart,
Must be there lies a curse upon this heart,
For love, and love returned that can't remain
Has left it but a beating, broken frame.
To touch your skin so soft as satin sheets,
Your eyes through which your soul, my own soul...

Imitation saturates behavior. 
drowned in reactions, thinking we're unlike them 
but it's been done before, unconscious of the war
some become like others down to the very core. 

And sometimes ignorance, in all its bliss
will force us down the trail of an unwanted wish.
Though knowledge of...

Where there is a petty imitation
There'll be pests, posters of sensation
Grouping of hesitations
Complaints to order, servings of hallucinations
There'll be soap-box amatory slander
About walking coat-hangers slender
It ain't working girl, it's a waling green guile
By his friend in business uptown a mile
By his wife who paints her...

There is the only one salvation –
to keep to the established order.
We have to get a new creation,
to take it we don’t cross fixed border.

You born to follow old tradition
of all those fallen in the battle,
One can’t avoid forced imitation,
No one can’t guard you from...

Raindrops upon the asphalt
Stain my camera lens as it stares at the moon
I lack a jacket and the wind is strong
Would it be cool if I was ice all along?

Reading the twist of the story
Before you have context to know why it's there
I'm thinking I...

My perfect imitation of a pilot in motion
cautiously pushing forward, paying attention
to all details is a trick of the virtual imagination...
using agile hands, as if they actually were two fluttering wings,
focusing with vigilant eyes looking straight at scurrying clouds:
as he swiftly travels to his set...

Every poet plagiarizes 
The thoughts of those who came before
And despite best enterprises
At best we merely mention more

The thoughts of those who came before
They offered all there is to give
At best we merely mention more
We add another adjective

They offered all there is to give
Imitation is...
