Best Minimally Poems

Puberty set off affright
seeding decades long
     terrestrial space flight
freighted existential blight,
wherefore from that
attempt to live airtight
many scores yesternight
ago, I barely (except

     on par with grateful
     dead), zero excite
ment minimally functioned,

Dots of light dotted the dome
Displaying dismal disks
Halfhearted innuendos of harmony
Repetitive, unremarkable recordings
Minimally interesting, middle class, mediocre
Small wonder he thought, smirking, smarting
Discipline dismissed, discarded
Replaced with fun, funk and fad
Foolishness fueled Fukem, he fumed
No more, no more, no more
The military, military school, immediately!...

Like a character in a Dr Seuss book
I play the New Years “Push Me Pull You” game
Daily I stretch stubborn limbs
Into pretzel-like shapes 
Hoping to mitigate nature’s downward force
I beg my legs to carry me with a ballerina’s lightness
Instead I’m gratified to lumber like an...

A span of questions fogs the mind of man. 
Some famous thinkers wonder; is there God?
Was man formed by chance or by divine plan?
If not by God, the Bible is a fraud.
Yes, Big Bang Theory through men’s minds does scan. 
They may look at the...

They call me Mr. Quick Fix.
I’m everywhere, in every school.
Over 400,000 of me in classrooms across the country. 
Yet there’s minimal data on my effectiveness.
For this reason, among others, some call me Mr. Quagmire.
Here I am, the “least qualified, lowest paid” providing the “bulk of...

I think it might be John Rawls
who writes about
thick and thin justice sandwiches.

Thick justice
may be more deeply embedded, richly spread
in regenerative pursuing time,
producing and serving healthy wealth relationships,
often digestively motivated
to achieve nutritional communion goals,

While thinner justice
lies closer to today's contemporary bread
of legalistic compliance issues,
what minimally...

Do not treat other species badly
as they would not
treat you
LoseLose badly.

Minimally,
love requires
we intend 
no aggressive monoculturing-supremacist harm.

Follow and lead
our own WinWin EarthTribe Golden Rule
toward,
and not sadly away from, 
health-wealth BothAnd optimization.

Ignore small and short-term aggression,
except your own
violence
hatred
bigotry
sexism
homophobia
fascism
supremacist hostilities,
paranoid fundamentalist fantasies,
fake raptures,
fake BadNews LoseLose universal futures.

just moments ago, a dawning realization

Billie Joe Armstrong, 
   Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool
which trio known (the world wide web over) 
   as the band Green Day
   composed lyrics and melodies 
   this listener did imbibe

   analogous to downing musical...

And memories still linger 
memories of choruses of swindlers
singing melodies 
in criminally inclined rhapsodies
minimally inspired to stop the crime
i floundered, yes i fumbled 
and practically watched them
making off with time
mostly mine, some of it pilfered
some of it taken straight up 
i've been set up in...

This chap iz a life
long student – groan fizzy
(from being protean entity
at least sustained along minimally
cerebral Mohorovicic continuity
till...post mortality
reincarnating one carbon peculiarity
enigmatic existence eternally

into maternity of wives eternity)
at The University

Kirkovian priceline annuity 
(while in utero, a mere embryo

Echoes bouncing off the walls
 Falling on none at all
Whispers that grew screaming loud
 Not heard or understood(ever)
Frustrated and hoarse 
  I left them behind
     Saying
        Nothing

Painting in broadest stokes I knew

Approbation Deeded Gratuitously Just Because...

(this endeavor more self directed to progeny,
whose psyche wounded, strafed, and nicked.)

Incumbent upon me own
     purring impetus, a sincere
desire arose NOT to ask
     thee anything, but mere
lee accept father's shortcomings,

detangling figurative philosophical,
     (i.e. ineffable) thread tightly bound
most likely requires a greater capacity

considerably superior than

Twenty First Century Civilization Gone Askew...?

Methinks perchance man
