Awake Sweet Stolen Dream "Awake Sweet Stolen Dream"
I wandered outside my conscious element of thought
drifting into wonderlust of dreamland sequences like photographs
as I inhaled fragrant winds gliding upon gossamer wings
of lace and satin, streaming through pink cotton candy clouds.
I touched a rainbow...

Chicken Soup FarmRelationships are like farming,
if you don't plant the seed,
you'll have no crop to harvest.
Rumi (M. Mafi, trans.)

you'll have no winnings.
Economics is like farming,
if you don't play this cooperative game,
you'll have no competitive winnings.

Remembering Radical RelativesExplain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, good-humoredly;
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.
We once had a school of thought
among up and coming geneticists and historians
that the precursor to the regeneration of a species,
or even an ecological paradigm,
most any kind of reiterative memory and retrieval...

September 2016
Bees live in colonies that contain one queen bee
There are 20,000 species of bees u see
They smell with their antennas and have the same agenda
To work 365 days and Scare away predictors with a hive wave
the worker bee and the male drone
Never leave Miss...

Dirty LaundryShe talks often of dusty surfaces
and laundry, more
I think, these last months, of leaving
the housework and me;
she tells in barbed epithets of
past indiscretions and wrongdoings
attributed to the mechanisms of
my capricious personality.
Each wicker basket filled with garments
of misbehaviour, and
comments and...

Perennial YouthOh the days of summer will soon be upon us
To warm us and fill us with joy
Those bright sunny days and cool starlit nights
So sweetly our spirits they buoy
Gone through a bunch of these halcyon days
At my age I should be blasé
No matter the number...

A Soldier's FallI slip through the dark, sleek, lank and lean
shadowed, haze gray, red, white, blue unseen
'neath the faint light of distant moonbeam.
I creep cross the meadows, sands and moors
traversing streets and...

If I Was An Animal What Would I BeIf I were an animal the great panther I would be,
Sleek and lean and shiny up there in my tree.
My claws of steel that strike with speed,
Only for food I preciously need.
The jungle my home my heritage here,
Passed down for my cubs that I hold...

One of the most rewarding things, each of us can do
Is the acknowledgment of...

Good and Bad Faith CommunitiesPrisons fester further desecrating guilt by association
as churches
and synagogues
and temples
and mosques
foster sacred innocence through re-association,
communion of the wanna-be saints
and Bodhisattva suffering warriors
for EarthRights Peace and Justice.
When our faith communities
feel like monoculturing monotheistic prisons
of fundamentalism,
then our non-elite prisons
begin to sound more like gospel protests
against further guilt...

One day their will be brought to justice and shame.

Someday their too will go mentally insane
There wicked ways will torture their brains.

A New Place For SunMaybe there'll come a day in the future
When tourists flock to Canada for fun
They say that Florida will no longer exist
Ontario will be the new place for sun
Weather patterns certainly changed a lot
For about the last decade or two
Recent patterns can be a bit unnerving
Big...

The WayIndestructible you
Endowed provocateur of origination
Forger of paths unknown
Awaken
Yesterday was an option
Today a decision
Tomorrow will come
Eventually
Head high
Shoulders up
Walk
Fear is perception
Defeat is an illusion
Perverse as it is
Fills a void
To incentivize the outcome of glory
For as long as you walk
Deceiving external predictors, you prosper
Enticing...

Irma Pulled a Fast OneIrma Pulled a Fast One
By Franklin Price
9/11/2017 – 6:07AM
Irma pulled a fast one
Just before I closed my eyes
Took a right turn to the East
To sooner see the sun arise
Was supposed to go to Tampa
Get a cigar there to chew
Now she's wrecking Jacksonville
Her new direction's nothing...
