Sum

Sum this all up: mind
zeroing in on that you 
can't be zeroed out.

Authority Supreme
Asserting that "I AM"
Affirmed as GOD and LORD
Assuring salvation
Around love, mercy, grace
Authenticating life
Against man-made god, Zeus...

Zealous king of thunder
Zoomed to gather the clouds
Zestfully controlling 
Zodiac, yet indeed…
Zapped by great GOD*’s might
Zenith HIS compassion
Zeroing on true faith.

*1Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Sexualizations

Sometimes, you just have to let go,
Erasing the doubt in your mind,
X-raying your heart, first, to find
Understanding, from head to toe.
All I want is for you to know
Love; The kind that will not be blind,
In order to stay on the grind,
Zeroing in to win down low.
Accept my invitation, please,
To join me in states of pleasure.
I am not one trying to tease,
Or devalue what you treasure.
Now that your mind is put at ease,
Share with me just a small measure.

Cadd Part Two2

"Vision Zero" -- no more deaths from highway accidents. The idea was born in Sweden, where it's had spectacular success in reducing traffic fatalities. Now zeroing out all traffic fatalities must become an explicit U.S. and worldwide goal. Otherwise we have no prospect of taming the appalling roadway death toll -- 42,000 lives lost yearly in the United States, close to 1.2 million worldwide. THE LAW IS STATED FOR EACH AND EVERY DIFFERENT STATE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors Two Oh Clock

A quick and easy (makeshift, albeit very temporary) 
Cheap Trick would suffice in the interim 
(which might entail many generations) 
to rock a Super Tramp off The Farm. 
Lo and behold a panacea arrived 

in form of Jethro Tull. Beastie Boys 
(more or less marauding hooligan gangs 
comprised of Arctic Monkeys) 
possessed an uncanny verve zeroing 
in on the challenge to enable Crowd

source sing. They designed, hand
crafted, and linkedin all known know
ledge about mathematics and physics. One 
contrivance edged out other equally 
farcical gizmo. Via some lack of clarification 
Badfinger referred both to the longer 
of two needles pointers plus included 

the entire mechanism. Individuals 
would no longer find themselves 
in Dire Straits getting someplace 
with markedly greater accuracy. 

Sooner or later a confluence of 
beginners dumb luck witnessed 
a Motley Crue, whereat brainstorm 
(of course in tandem with consciousness
expanding material) yielded a great 

burst of inventiveness within The 
Human League, though after end
less modifications credit for 
the handy dandy blues clues 
pocket watch allotted 
to a plethora of anonymous minds.

Elusive Ephemeral Ethereal Expansive: Timelessness

     happenstance ever so
     imperceptibly amassed dominion

     over every other species
     as became evident
throughout the vast sweep of
     anthropological 
     evolutionary incidental
plucky perturbations, provocations,
     and/or pullulations arisen by
     spontaneous circumstantial grant

     deliberated focused intent,
where forethought

Mowed Down Field Day With Redacted Mueller Report

Attorney General William
Barr black marker in hand
kept promise to censor vital
details of Mueller Report
swift as Usain Bolt candidly,
grandly, lustrously, roundly

youthfully blocked out more
rapid than an elegant eland
vibrantly, regally, magically,
and gracefully skirts borderland
which favored topography
constitutes grassland or woodland,

far more pleasing to observe,
than reading adulterated brand
of aforementioned compilation,
distillation, edification, fortification
zeroing questionable activity
upon head of trumpeting brigand,

whose arrivistic, bombastic, caustic,
demonic, electric broadband
outsize ego still convinces
me, thee commander in chief
delegated one or more chargehand
perhaps while delighting as

gourmand savoring chateaubriand,
where his best buddies imagined
themselves in seventh heaven cloudland
every so often taking siesta sans repast
or golfing with grisly handicapped clubhand
non verbally communicating,

in viz sub bully taking a peas zing
cues from presidential high command,
which coterie (i.e. den of thieves)
manipulated social media with nefarious,
insidious, deleterious, et cetera
analogous to "FAKE" contraband,

maybe even milking innocent cowhand
unwittingly planting GMO electronic
bugs amidst future bovine fodder cropland
to allow, enable, and jackknife demand
that moost every eligible voter tricked

induced by virtual reality dreamland
with sinister motive for thee "Apprentice"
rule his kingdom, and expand,
realm asper Medieval days
declaring himself chieftain of fatherland
and/ or North American motherland

where naysayers guillotined
by uncontested firebrand,
who without provocation
very likely bomb into Stone Age
formerly edenic, lush, verdant
geography into flatland

rendered hostile, poisonous and uninhabitable
nonetheless radiating for miles with gangland
forced labor tilling barren, desolate, fissured
landscape erecting unsightly grand
standing room only (cause he know Shylock)

terrain (reign) vast highland
manor as poobah, and husband
to his only heiress, the former
a kooky monster from foggy bottom marshland.

Monkey Business

Monkey business


“I say how about
breakfast at The New Farmer’s”


Our day of picking and consuming done
no hunger induced nightmares, we rest dusk to dawn
check on the young ones. Are we all here?
tomorrow we return for another early breakfast
at The New Farmers'

it's sugar cane on the menu
well done, defoliated by fire
sweet smell of wild honey 
a hive of flavours of molasses 
wash down milky white green corn

we're going on tortoise-paced on fast food
centipedes, scorpions rocking our pillows
going green for the season, shedding the load off
Triangle's aged sugar mills

we have suffered enough, chums
in the hands of the farmer, old and new alike
globalising of our territories, present day terrorism

landmines all over
Were they seeding sweet potatoes?
Long rooted explosives have been going off
in the crossfire of war ghosts

sounds of corn popped in shovels
by rustic labourers for lunch 
tearing our species limb from limb
we dare not bore deep into the woods for sustenance
Reap where they have sown!

Yeah!

They will see red, develop high BP
when we up our tails, march with a swag
Ho-me! Ho-me! Ho-me! Ho-me!
cobs, canes in snouts and armpits
Their sentinel will go round anthills like the looney canine
of the long-playing "His Master's Voice," ever so poised
for a jump, off the vinyl scratches, stuck in the groove
giving Chacma a bad name;

	“Command field, roger
	reporting marauding baboons
	destroyed plots alpha to romeo
	zeroing into zulu, roger
	send delta oscar gulf sierra

	over and out."

Email To Republican Bob Corker

lemme git down to figurative and virtual brass tacks 
and risk introducing this veritable unknown citizen, 
   who feels Trump stacks

odds against supposedly “making America great again” - 
   vis a vis when pool sharks queue balls with top dollars on racks
displays absolute blatant commander in chief dearth,..and most often packs
near physical punch via pushing dynamic statecraft to the max
with horse betting odds, that future diplomatic sparring 
   will in short shrift avail his aggressive combative knick knacks
asses instances of his performance, 

   essentially, obviously, and unquestionably lacks
basic, democratic, futuristic foresight toward peace and harmony
   thus (IN MY MIND), ratchets up local and global agitation, 
   demonization, gastro-intestinal jacks,
thus this brief communique from neither a constituent, 
   nor person of renown, but outlier who hacks
his way each day – awash with challenges 

   (though my location nowhere near the sea)
and myopic eyes of mine zeroing in on an unflattering 
   (yet on the money – averred to thee Bob Corker), 
   which comment this rump of a president  

   by blatantly, blithely, blindly axing bedrock of democracy he emotes 
   one already maneuvering weapons of mass destruction  – 
   preparing for world war three 
   mostly arising from self created debacles, 
   or reverberations from in apropos responses, 
   now pointing fate of civilization on deadly path, 

   whose very defense of his own ego – oft a twittering outburst 
   generally creating Armstrong clustered flacks,
which aggressive stance finds Trump braggadocio 
    adversarial behavior cornering friends or foes backs
pushed hard against real of illusory wall

   alarmingly binding coaxial wires detonating fuse to help ignite 
   a conflagration fomenting jackass kicking 
   analogous to O'Leary legend, whereat 
   setting combustible lantern within kicking range of a cow
   sparked Chicago fire – no matter the truthfulness, 
   implications in my mind, HE DONALD TRUMP
   HOLDS THE FATE OF MANKIND 

   (teetering mighty close to doomsday 
   on tipping point of two mixed metaphors)
   AND AS A CONCERNED VOTER GIVE HIM THE BOOT!

My Earliest Retrospective Yule Tide Memories Circa Mid 1960s Act Two

golden raiment trickling threnody ream
hinged present with distant past,  
   that temporarily static surreal moment in time stream 
the best part of existence, thence I became alive 
   from dormant state, an anachronistic meme 
 
now, asper the following afore 
   alluded ditty hie now aim
harmoniously exultant exuding 
   humming bird of a boy, 

  whose unspoken name means gift, how came
I to share such minutiae (when original intent 
   bespoke zeroing to ground zero, 
   when this ache king hippie merely thought 

   to elaborate about Christmas excitement then), 
   which unexpected meandering bore me aloft back 
   to nursery school days and didst claim
thine parents on that namesake, 

   which elated mood in tandem with real 
or imagined gurgling did frame
that moment reminded vision of particular words 
   and simple tune sang during along as a game 

with make believe friends Harnie and Dinnie, 
   who would coon sitter this poem lame
joie de vivire, way before existence 
   teetered and tottered the brink of self shame,
whence psychological snowball effect, 
   no rhyme nor reason could tame!

Now adieu whilst rickey rockety 
   quirky one man team
   doth recite the words while reveling poignantly
   this pastiche long an unraveled seam
row row row your boat gently down the stream
merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.

Torah: Black Fire on White Fire

 
 

Every Place, Every Space,
In Ink, 'Tween Signs, ‘Tween Lines,
Everywhere He, Where are we?

 

Ask, "Mi Hashem Aylai?" 
Not, "What's in for me?"
Descent from Kedushah is "I"

 

Ego's swig, a "Drink Me" potion of Shrinkingness,
Causing "I" to be Mired in Pride,
My Hand; Plural World vs. Oneness

 

We are 'Taken In', pleasing "I",
Or Harvard or other Men,
What's the difference? Our Eye's Sty!
 

Live His Torah, is Zeroing Me Debris,
Our Chance to Be, Alive ‘n Doin’,
Here, Now! Waiting on Him is Freeing.

 







He gave us Myriad Mitzvot,
To glimpse Him, to Breathe ‘n Do,
To be in His Company True.

 

Life's not just other Men,
With Them to Hang Out, Them to Please,
Acquiring Clout, our Dodge Cop Out.

 

                         Men are Seen, He’s Hidden.	
Pleasin’ Men counters Our Goal,
So, He smiles, if We’re Herein.

 












As He is Here, We don't Fear Scowling Faces.
Men make Noise, when Losin’ Stature,
Men are in Places, not 'Tween Spaces.

 

Drink In the One, Sip His Strength, to Stand Alone,
Be a Rolling Stone, Not just a Clone,
His Whisper is Choice, so Ignore Men's Noise.

 

It takes max strength Chutzpah,
Swim Agin' the Torrent, Yet be Current,
Carpe Diem, Be not a Puppet of Them.

 










Gematria, 301, means Fire equals Call,
Or Fire in Hearing 'Sounds of Silence': A Calling,
Horton Hears a Who, Choosing is Less than to Be Chosen.

 

Be Strong; You're Created to Be a Man,
Hashem's Eved, In touch with Your Maker,
Answer to Him, not some Faker.

The Buzzard

Within the common (all purpose room)
     at highland manor apartments aye
daily encounter, one bewitchingly dreaded
     fiendishly horrible, jeeringly loopy,

     nap noopy, pugnaciously ravenous, talon
     viciously wizened, xenophobic yeti, zapping
     zeroing zillion zippers,
     zoned Zuckerman alley bye

barred doors fate helplessly jury-rigged
     sealed with with plaintive cry
no escape known to this man caught
     in a deadly voodoo clutch,

     thus doomed to die
ugly cannibalistic, frightful,
     heathen rumors myopic eyes espy
alarmed at feeling trapped

     akin to a wingless fly
tapping reserves of scape goat
     coping techniques ingenuity,
     which earned me moniker "fall guy"

where accursed cruel destined exit
     from getting husked, issued
     jagged lance like mandibles "hi
there unknown weekly reader", I

pray for super leftist
     write hand man/woman to extricate
     (via whipping up literary poetic fabrication),
     then joining me to sing jai

(let victory prevail against killer odds)
     perhaps summoning division
     of British shiver rights phalanx,
     hood reply with Hackneyed "oh kai"

springing surprise rescue,
     sans swooping inside
     this hermetically faux prison,
     where Matthew Scott Harris doth lie,
yet realistic to accept my
demise without putting up

     a good fight well nigh
but... if luck finds thee plucking this bard
     (out maws of death) be treated to custom
     ye will be rewarded with pie
ala mode enjoying a Quai
yet moment...yeah...fading hope...sigh!

Premium Member Common Sense

Our old friend Merriam-Webster tells us that the definition of common sense is: sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts.

English Language Learners’ definition of common sense is the ability to think and behave in a reasonable way and to make good decisions.

Kids Definition of common sense is ordinary good sense and judgment.

Hey, Kids. Thanks for zeroing us in!

I think we’re beginning to get it!

Nevertheless, beyond the definition is the sad truth about common sense.

How underrated is common sense; it’s undervalued, underestimated, unappreciated, and misunderstood.

How rare common sense; its use is infrequent, sporadic, erratic, and unusual.

How little practiced common sense; its measure can be called petite, slight, tiny, miniature, diminutive.

How unwise not to use common sense; it’s foolish, rash, ill-advised, reckless, imprudent.

How much better the world would be by the exercise of common sense. What if it became a daily exercise?

Voltaire reminded us that common sense is both more uncommon and more desirable in leaders than mere intelligence. 

Common sense! I think that’s what my father meant when he said, “Use you noggins, young’uns.”
