For years and years
I lived the curse of all women

A woman’s work is never done
That is, never finished
The more work I did the more work showed up
The To Do list was never ending
If I made a dent in it 
You couldn’t tell
 It was multiple...

Parallel Paradigm
What flickers of kindred spirit shone through,
To illuminate the caves of my mind?
What common tortures was I sure I’d find?
Which were the words that echoed such a clue,
That my dark demons were the same you knew?
Does fate hold purpose for these ties that bind?
I know...

so, the chicken
 came first
with an inventive burst

no wonder it can't happen backwards
the law of physics would surrender

the concept as beautiful as new weather
and fluffy tufted  pink flamingo feathers

time and space travels only forward
no reason though, not to travel backwards

yet, God gives us a...

Paradigm Shift
PARADIGM SHIFT.

Here is my version of a paradigm shift,
Socratic questions if you get my drift!
Why did God make the Universe elliptical?
To make an Aussie football, not spherical!
Why did God make football? See here,
To make men miserable, my dears!
Why did God make beer?
To make men happy,...

Got miners and some roughnecks screwed
With solar and wind
Their fate could be pinned
On working with fuel that's renewed...

Paradigm
Seems today, no one is imagining.
That people lost all creativity.
No one thinks outside the box,
they only think so logically.

That's why true, new, inventors.
That's why they don't exist.
And that's why you can never really say
or call that guy an artist.

It's why there's nothing really,
really nothing new.
They...

Paradigm of Life
Until breath proves on how 
Our unwavering care will support 
Family ties run deep, dedication avowed
No step will bring us back to a path trodden apart

By looking at all the tall trees
A feeling we surmount big challenges
Who sees dawn to dusk, divining in the breeze
We...

When I examine everything I see
And find no fault in it but what's true
As to why I'm here and came to be
I have old answers from a point of view
To be alone in this flesh covered shell
Where perspective controls what I take in
Though perception can...

P andemonium the polymorph perverse un-reflected paradigm of our time casts

A narchy tumultuous turmoil killing sprees beheadings senseless hatred and results from

Parallel Paradigm
In temporal time my heart speaks in mime
Thru celestial chime a sorrow sublime
Parallel paradigm punitive crime
Galactic grime of love’s climactic climb
With savoring shadows I’m lost in rhyme
Like lingering lime a paradox prime.

My Brief Perception Sans, American Democratic Paradigm
Thee United States bedrock foundation 
built upon premises sans, 
Greco-Roman template, 
whence freedoms as liberty, 
life, and pursuit of happiness 

revered as constituent concepts, 
precepts, and tenets, 
within which complex edifice 
(unique to these United States), 
which metaphorical palimpsest blueprint 
analogously enshrine 

(akin to interlocking...

Paradigm Shift
With eyes full of splendor she emerged.
Her face shone like a saintly being,
She looked like she had never committed a sin.
I froze as she collected the microphone from our Vice Chancellor,
 Her voice was soft like the sound from a xylophone.
The sight I beheld enchanted...

Paradigm
You would think by now I know its vain
There was this time no anesthesia
Even though I was not immune to pain
Just the light dulce et gloria
And I was blind like Samson without the flame
I woke to winter and empty trees
Nothing to hide nakedness and shame
Except...

One night while slumbering in my bed
thoughts were floating 'round my head,
that tinged my heart and singed my soul
with effervescent, gleaming gold.

Whispering through the darkened air 
"You know you're on the right road there,"
where eagles fly and clouds drift by
and angels sing sweet lullabies.

Where a...
