Best Reduction Poems

Hey YOU,

Yes, I’m talking to YOU
 
Please listen to me…
 
You used to comment on almost every poem
But you don’t visit me of late
So I have to ask the question,
Why has your support turned to hate?
 
 
Actually… don’t bother answering that
because now I know
A...

Gazing,
Greek letters display of curious origin.
Impregnation skin softly writhing aware letters

Sea

Alpha, Omicron, Tau, Psi, Mu, Rho, pass through all the rest and each other figure 8

Jangling in strange confronting orbits

Gossamer skin flays, the letters
Pulsing, transforming, letter of many letters, blur into the naked moment

Peeling, ghostly...

I want to walk across the field to the giant oak.
Two ropes hang from its outstretched branch.
They swing back and forth over the seat,
the one which they strung up for years;
and the seat sank with two holes in it, and was petrified, even below the...

reduction of the “hero”

sees him on television
marching in the shows that
glorify war by painting so-called
“heroism,” as anything but 
being hired killers.

sees her in the advert prior to
the violence ridden film, when
the life of a soldier in the 
american military comes with
a rock song behind it...

Reduction

This is the process
which seems vital
to our time and culture..
We need the experience
that perceptions are
what we know of
the world just now..
The world becomes
subjective..and we find
it has always been so..
So we reduce
the seeming world
to perceiving as object..
Then..that object to
that in which
and as which it is:
Consciousness......

The supreme leader of Red China wants his state workers to get by with a 30% reduction in their salaries! Some of their hard earned money will line the pocket books of himself and his mistresses and his family! But the Red Chinese people have...

Lips toothy smiles never desert:
For one's main course pays plus dissert 
A granted walk by a bush stopped,
A political subject dropped!
Eyes searching for yours, finding them
Eyes proclaiming you a rare gem...
Soon, breathing down a not-warmed neck;
A time,if you're wise,him check.
Ladies should go beyond 'Recoil'
Their hackles...

reduction, deduction
less and less intake
more and more output
weight watchers
reach their goal
more or less

Shards of glass compressed retention
Made a pass for hope ascension
Honey wall no matter silly
Stumble strong tow tally dilly

Master Stein the corner set
Write a draft and then forget
Once a meaning fleeting fast
Like a heartbeat never lasts

Plastered will neglectful matter
Purposeful reduction chatter
Polymorphous agony
To dialect reducing me...

Like in a dungeon we live,
Full of dissatisfaction and high charges of stuff
With no sign of reduction but expansion
As if we were victims of famine
In a famished land.
The rainbows of intercession speak not,
And the markets, missing their right positions;
In our little wages we battle with...

For Trumpians
our multiculturally celebrated Golden Rule
applies first to Ego
then to immediate white privileged family,
then to wealthier gated community,
then to a more rabblous Republican Party,
then to USA nationalists
European predative culture idolaters
mistaking capital-inspired Manifest Destiny
for sacred DNA theology,
then to fallen Earth,
if there is any gold left over
after...

amidst cycles of creation and destruction
of peace and disarray
i must remind myself of where i stand
it’s okay to spiral, it’s human
but i need to take a step back before i make any harmful decisions
feeling is temporary
the pain, the anger, the anxiety
they will pass
good will come...
