Ode To Occupy Wall StreetThe middle class here can't be saved
When 0.001% act so depraved
Their wealth without end
These royals* still pretend
Did not come from us—their
enslaved**
*The Royals: CEOs, Banksters, Revolving Door Regulators, The FED, Congressmen for sale, Lobbyists, Board Members of Big Corporations, Major Shareholders who vote for these...

The Chatty Chair.
U-umph, Oof-fa ha!.... There, comfy now?
Hey, would you pick up your tush,
reach in here and pick up your wife's locket?
It's down here under my cush,
and please get that screw driver outa your pocket?
That's good for me, yes much better.
Is it good for you...

Hot & Chocolatey, Self!
You're not COMPLETELY,
worthless,
sitting on the
shelf.
but, you have so much
more to offer,
when I hold you!
When I can sip at you,
&
nip at you,
as my hands,
warmly, mold you.
And, with one sweet taste,

Sandy Hook ElementaryPloop Plop
I flopped down onto the black leather coach
Wee Snaw
I inhaled deeply
Slowly i twisted my head to the right
The AT&T remote control lay blocked
Umph
An attempt to get the remote; I succeded
Click Click Click
I changed the channel
"A shooting at Sandy Hook" the weatherman said
"Elementary students...

The Rent CourtThe folks were all ages
And surely it was not a matter of color,
Some were bold in their strut,
Arrogant in the tilt of their heads,
Making the statement -'You Owe Me World! '
'If you don't have a cripe with your landlord, the line
Forms here!...

Here For YouWords cannot begin to express
How I truly feel about you
Questions of why you’re always on my mind
And yet I have no clue
Visions of you, of us
Are trapped in my dreams
I can’t let my mind rest… where you’re concerned
As though it seems
Never completely understanding
What it was...

He can almost reach the sky.
He looked up and longed to be free.
So he stretched his long arms.
Just to graze the clouds.
All around gathered crowd's
Just to watch Mr. Male
Fail.
So every morning with the birds
He would stretch and the clouds...

Rorty On Poetryin response to his baptist cousin’s question
as to whether he had started looking to

as a way of dealing with his newfound pancreatic cancer
of which
nothing medical could be done

to one son asking if philosophy was doing anything for him
he repeated the same---

E and EIt's over
I'm done.
Lungs burning, legs jelly.
Each step brings
A new level of pain.
I need to stop for a minute,
Just one minute.
Stopping however,
Is not an option.
Delivery is essential.
Lives depend on my
Continual forward movement.
Sounds of men and machines
Drift in on the wind.
Must keep moving.
Attempts at diversion and...
