A perfect metaphor for everyone's life is like
Standing up in a hammock or standing up on a bike
Now that's totally silly
And quite unhealthily
Could fall down, break your crown, should stick to a trike...

(For six days in mid-August, 1971, at Stanford 
University near San Francisco, a psychological 
experiment was conducted in which students 
took on the roles of prisoners and prison guards. 
The experiment had to be cut short, because the 
guards were indulging in unhealthily sadistic 
behaviour.)

As climate pathology peaks
toward climax conditions

LeftBrain privileged blindness
and deafness,
tastelessness
replacing savoring,

Absence of green
and sea salty blue
fragrance,
bereft of internal robust feelings
and external wellbeing touch
drop unhealthily
unwealthily away
from enabling organic integrity
to know 

Empathy is to spiritual consciousness
as sympathy mirrors neurosensory awareness

In this second becoming time,
RightBrain legitimately feeling
our life interdependent...

My gay white boyhood
struggled with the theological problem
of personally appreciating heterosexual superiority 
sacred stories
and multiply mistranslated word-choices
of Jesus Christ

Within a Christian
monotheistic
evangelically triumphalist doctrine.

This personal mindbody intimacy problem
may be iconic
unveiling my transparent
and vulnerable Savior's distancing 
of untrusted
homophobic
StraightWhiteMales

Felt to be unsafe predators
unhealthily patriarchal
patristic
politically nationalistic
blind to white upper-class...

(Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the greatest of Victorian
poets, formed a very close relationship with
Arthur Hallam and frequently visited the Hallam
home in Wimpole Street.  After Hallam's sudden
death, Tennyson frequently returned to the house,
and stood weeping in the street.)

Tears, Idle Tears

When two young men are close –...

Floating, hovering like a dragonfly 
in search of a safe landing place. 
Roaming, travelling, never settling, 
in constant fear of desolation. 

No beginning, and no end in sight - 
 - suspended animation - certain of my creation, 
but hanging like a mist or balanced...

junkavore

Sophy’s mom sent her a giant case of “Fun dip” - a thousand packets of sour, fruit-flavored sugar. Is there anything more junkavore a parent can buy a child - well, ok, an 18 year old?

She LOVES them and so does Leong who’s from China...

Am I hurting myself in the end?
Am I settling now for someone that’s a friend?
Or a love that is pure?
And a bond in which I’ve never been so sure?
But it’s you who does not know
Still it’s you who would rather hear yes than a no
Is...

Boiler, or bomb, the Sultana sank on April 27, eighteen sixty five 
Taking down with her, a good rounded off number of 1,800 lives

Carrying Union soldiers, who were ex-prisoners of war, up north
From Vicksburg heading high up the Mississippi river, it set forth

The weather was...

She sings a stinging melodramatic tale 
Emphasizing agony and youthful betrayal.
Impulsively distraught between facts of existence
Unhealthily growing with mindful persistence.
Scaring the concerned and ignoring their cheers
Cutting the ties of her formative years.
Second guessing herself and ending confused
Her faithful conscience thinning, and bruised.
Questions arise with no...

It's not enough to say,
with however much great might,
America's Religious Right
is wrong
to flap fight wings
and even bite
against Earth's spirit natured Left.

All sacred EarthTribe's

in more resonantly wealthy faith
and resiliently healthy humor

once
a time 
no longer ago than now 
not future perfect but its imperfection’s past
down the river of flowing present 
relatively just past the future

not when, when why is what needs answering 
yet who’d care where it was 
or whence it shall have been
not I for...

The sleeping beauty surrounded by lackluster roses-
She receives rest I never shall,
Whilst I work my hand and mind to bone and broth.
The star-crossed lovers staring down from the heavens-
Blissful and gay in each others presence,
And I in my own tragedy of loneliness.
The maiden with strands...

Every January first of the new year...

finds me (a doggone muttering *****sapien)
to give pause for reminiscences
and to take stock (sh lock and barrel)
about mein kampf in general
and previous three hundred
and sixty five days in particular
assessing some laudable accomplishments,
where inside my mind I beam radiance
envisioning...
