Fine Dining On Air FranceWe’re monopolized by the Saran-wrapped food,
the plastic cutlery,
absorbed by the clutter of the food tray.
Numbed by hours of jiggling,
the carting of torpid bodies through interminable distance,
we’re wedged now into boredom, uncomfortably numb.
Anesthetized – we fear nothing.
If the aircraft stalls, few will scream.
We’ll keep decanting small...

The Mortal Wound of the Civilized World
"The Mortal Wound of the Civilized World"
Shift upwards
speed fast
the choice, Is
Gears chosen by the
energetic heart
fuel the freedom
The point of attention
the “I Am”
an expression
of the same
consciousness
that you are "Is"
we are living
yet contained economies
numbed and played circadian
pinned and
framed
to our...

Out of the ShadowsA curse. It's what she was ascertained to be.
A plague which has been put on the burden of the residents of the world.
People discarded her as mere trash for they considered her as an ill-omen.
Misfortune embraced her when she didn't even know the real meaning...

A Congregation of Deadly SinsThe Seven Deadly Sins held a conference deep within
my fragile, mortal soul with destruction as their goal.
Pride took the role of lead, but was monopolized by Greed;
Sloth paid no attention; Anger interrupted the convention;
Envy held a jealous hunch; Gluttony moved they break for lunch;
Every member...

Thomas JeffersonIt interests me to peer past the drafting
and rewriting shoulder
of Thomas Jefferson,
unhappy slave-owner,
and John Adams,
with domestic slave-owner nuisance issues,
and other principle writing minds
of original democratic declaration and constitution shaping times,
as they listened to their own ecopolitically experienced histories,
some with fear and anger-mongering slave-owners,
some as...

Sweet JaneSweet Jane,
The essense of euphoria, cloud
of confusion
Fooled by your seductions,
indulge in delusion
You betray me,
Trading blissful thoughts you
gave me, for Will
My best friend I knew forever,
and still
Eyes Bloodstained in pain, and
raging until
Sweet Mary,
You...

When I Was Your AgeFor Christmas I got half a glass of Coke; nothing else was given.
If I wanted something else I could spill it and get a spanking in addition.
My parents washed my underwear for my birthday
That’s all I got, and I liked it that way!

Refined White ValuesWhile trickling thick amber honey
in my black decoffied coffee
I wonder why I never noticed
until just ever now
How refined white sugar
has monopolized my wider full-hued view
of more nurturing nutritional brown sugars
natural bio-resonant sweets
healthier sugar-phosphate cooperative relationships
as if the least of these white privileged
rich and resilient wealth...

A Song For the Herring GullThe cliff tops were bare, rocks lay scattered across the beach, the nearing harbor holding all in its silence. Along the bay the ripple of a kayak hovered on a waters edge. All was quiet, or so it seemed.
Overhead clouds rolled and arched a landscape...

when care works coincidentally both ways
in all Win-Win bilateral directions.
Up and down and laterally across hierarchies,
networks,
dialectal frames,
nutritional and health-care...
