Premium Member Factoidman and Shallowman - Part 2
[Now ShallowMan is quite content
receiving FactoidMan’s consent
to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant
with fingers crossed and belfry bent
when viewing Facts in sealed cement:]

“The Facts you give me circumvent
those ‘truths’ your chuckles supplement;
although they might disorient
they can’t be wrong, I won’t dissent,
just using ones...

I. 

Fold, crease, unfold, sheets
of paper thin as possibility,
a crisp white plea to gravity.
Forty-five times, a cosmic origami
building bridges from table to the moon.
The mind dreams, unfurls
dimensions from the flatness,
each fold a petition of ascension.

But reality, that quiet artisan,
intervenes. Seven, eight,
perhaps nine folds—
the paper resists,
its...

Premium Member Thanksgiving Leftovers
'Twas the day after Thanksgiving and all of its ado and congestion.
I'd consumed too much turkey and pie and due to its ingestion,
Today, I'm suffering from a very acute case of indigestion!
I should've stifled my gluttonous bent - of that there is no question!

Of turkey...

Premium Member A Loss
No one speak of her again
Unless in tones hushed, "Later we will talk"
"Shhh! Don't let the child know how her mother died."
She's too young to understand

Is self-destruction inherited?
Does it float around the genes?
Is security destroyed

(Not) Regretting Cake

Never ending restrictions are slave driver’s tools a debatable concept wielding

Onslaughts on conscience asceticism zero sums zero size and perfection

To not trespass the segments of cake the boundaries and frontiers rules and


Regulations to not violate prescriptions norms dogma seems violent in itself

Ethics of...

Premium Member Crocodile Tears
Young and travelling Australia
A lovely water fall we were off to see
This water fall is a absolute must
To visit  when in the Northern Territory 

Though crocodiles have never  been sighted there
They  cannot officially say no crocodiles here
Though tourists have visited and swam...

Premium Member Haiku Spectrum
Happy couple
Old man and old lady;
Eyes like newly weds


Old sepia photo
My mother stares;
Lost in a glimpse


One from the moon
The other an alien;
Two lovely strangers


Another sepia moment
My father stands;
Old flamboyant tree


Old fashion ideas
From another era;
Black and white tones


Digital pictures
iPad photos;
Edging sepia shades


Wet market floors
Slippery footsteps;
Fish mongers...

Away In a Far Off Town
Dozing off behind the wheel 
Sleep-deprived decapitated 
Dillaudid consequences 

Incarcerate 
Betrayed confidences 
 Incriminated 
Responsibility blotted 

Dead friends 
Incinerated 
In reality 
They rotted 

Alive. 

Years prior to demise. 
Burnt bridges. Dead ends. 
A hell we created 
Causality to impend 

Insanity 

A cyclic continuance 
Doomed to...

Tribute To a Vulture
Antithesis of avian beauty
Monstrosity of the bird family
Head and neck very hideous looking 
In dull black wrinkled up unfeathered skin

Exposed decaying animal matter
Can produce unhealthy bacteria
That can endanger other life species
Threatening them with illness and disease

Consumption of animal carrion
Is part of your normal food ingestion
Though...

I Smelled Trouble of a Fancy Rose
Petite sweet deception-free promises
Blurred the air
Trusting hope
Deep deliberate ingestion of my own fantasy
The air was cool and refreshing
But exhaling nothing but warm beer and salsa
I accepted the dare to believe
That the next glimpse would deepen the hope
That I had become more worthy of the beauty
That...

Smelly Stuff Absorbed 

There are many words for those excrements that appear on the fabric in
incremental solid and deliquescent motions because ingestion fulfils that
autonomous need to shed ablutions but here I declare ‘Waste not Want not’

Whatever notion ‘**** happens’ frivolously or weighing heavy on one’s...

And Huxley Is Giggling In His Grave
& huxley is giggling in his grave

if aldous was still alive,
he’d laugh himself to death
when confronted with the new evidence
that Zogenix’s 
brand new spanking drug
“Zohydro,”
is yet another installment in mankind’s race
to create “soma,”
the government sponsored drug 
he wrote of in Brave New World,
which would send...

Oops Moments For All I Care
Oops Moments In Hospitals

Have heard lots of stories of Oops moments in local hospital care...
Wrong dosage or wrong medicine, let's not split hairs...

We can be having a laugh,  not looking down on hospital care...
Don't take it personal, but medical mistakes abound out there...
