Hitler is burning
He burned yesterday
He will be burning tomorrow
He began to burn immediately 
after his last breath.
Hitler will burn forever.
He would gladly accept a drop
of cool water on his tongue
from the least of those at Auschwitz,
at Dachau, at Warsaw, at Flossenburg.

Now, he knows.

He needs no...

butter...quantums!...fly in every kitchen

quantum butter however flies as...everywhere

when trefoil bubbles rise...as heat

greasing particles...so to speak

along times imaginary...numbered axes

and biasing spherical wave expansions...relative

some pre-caused destination point in a...four dimensional universe

the medium of which is termed a...trefoil population of

quantum butterflies with two wing speeds....'c'!?...an on or off

Learning Young

From back when I was 7 and 8, 
When candy bars cost 5 cents, 
And  “being polite” meant 
Even to strangers.  The wrinkled,
Baggy, old man, who
Lived in the basement apartment
Next-door, with the pass-time 
Of sitting outside on his 
Stoop atop five steps...

In the beginning, all that was, was living light eternal
Vibrant in time and space dissolved ineffable peace
Pulsating endlessly in a singularity transcendental 
Sans identity, with no attribute, we were and still are
One without a second, awareness self-aware
Feeling complete thus, as a receptor of God’s light
Our...

Record ice storms reported in the news.
Multiple car pileups.
Unwary pedestrians fading into sinkholes.
Power lines down, roofs caving in.

God is angry, letting us know
he’s still in control.
No more towers of Babel!

At the tower reaching toward heaven
he confused their language
and scattered them to the ends of the...

as my pen positions itself
between my fingers  and pillows itself on my hand…
…I know not why I write and still I’ve got to take this poem for a ride….

Thoughts spew inside my head – too
fast to articulate. Too deep to defend. Ticking like a...

Holodomor Genocide 



Native of Ukraine and Soviet Union,
Known once for my independence,
Was pitied tobrutal artificial famine,
Exporting our grain,and leaving us to die,

Declared Kurkul under Stalin's policy,
Shipped to remote uninhabited Siberia,
Left to die of famine,
I was one of the millions,
Once the landlords now riches to rags,

Ghost...

DAMSEL CAUSING DISTRESS


The knight errant sent for me, but I’ve gone missing
For three days now, while he’s composed a ditty:
In the tide of feminism I still haven’t given up kissing
Being what is termed fatalistically pretty - 

But I can be the ‘no’ that makes for...

HARLEY DAVIDSON

The roar of the victorious twins that spark,
Enigma of the spotless glint in the dark,
The riders, symbolic of rare brood,
Tattooed with insignia and bandana as hood.

Third year of the twentieth century, there starts a stride,
Relentlessly over a century, stands stout in pride,
The post First...

Born an American on eighth month
Stanley Allen Meyer, a man worth, 
Designed technology of water fuel cell
Machines which as the perpetual motion.

Thing that retrofitted in automobile
Water as fuel instead of gasoline, 
Cell which splits water's element
Hydrogen and oxygen purportedly. 

Mixture of gases with specified ratios
Result...

Terrorism is the new face of barbarism 


 Decades passed since barbarism eradicated 
But our earth is once again confiscated 
Emerged by intimidation of terrorism 
A war loaded with ammunition 
A threat at a gunpoint
That's somehow becomes end point
Here terrorism won over humanity 
Mankind,killed with...

(Terrorist Attack-Benghazi 9/11/12)

The Navy Seals absorbed the brunt
of fire al-Qaida thugs bestowed
and died in battle near the front,

stood tall with courage to confront
a vile assault of bitter mode.
The Navy Seals absorbed the brunt

on rooftop stand, machine gun stunt,
a grim attack, defenders slowed,
and died in battle...

A girl returned to school--still not quite well.
A classmate queried, "What's been wrong with you?"
She was so timid but at last could tell
the boy "Pleurosis." He exclaimed, "That's new.
I've never heard of roses that are blue!"


pleurosis--more commonly termed pleurisy, an inflammation of the lungs

The "blue...

I suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend's,
and especially Thomas Kuhn's Problem of Incommensurabiity.

Oh, not at all.
I have not looked at science or culture
or language
or even your attempts at communication
quite the same since I ran across their big dilemma.

Interestingly,
it shares some dynamics with...
