they flutter freely, their intent focused and formidable
ghosts who chased off ghouls and goblins years ago
their Halloween presence is absolutely beyond deniable
their pure whiteness reminds me of polar bears and snow
They do not appear to everyone, just the ones who believe
Naysayers have never noticed them at all, though there are thirty
They are tricksters who have October shenanigans up a sleeve
tricks that are humorous, child- friendly, not anything dirty
Are they here? My cousin asks, for she cannot see them at all
This makes me feel a little superior, as I do every fall.
I nod my head and one gives me a happy joyful wink.
There is one right now, my dear, crawling into your sink.
Decorated heart desire long hidden
Such pleasure is publicly forbidden
Of undeniable fact to sustain lie
That mellow the seem deniable truth by
Sanctuary weighs temple of sacred's bid
The shame hang on all its magic forbid
To making room for Timothy's new scope
For the godly ones to regain their hope
"Covid-19; friendly to alcohol"
That gives an awesome spark like an algol
Sipping gin, whiskey and all sort freely
Without reluctant objection briskly
Got gut for both the much young and few aged
Dream-drinking now got all awake uncaged
20 Cents
The guy gave the war concern 20 cents
This was enough to buy ten bullets
Which would kill ten enemy soldiers
If fired accurately by a good soldier
He'd give more if he could afford it
But he was jobless and skint
20 cents was all he could afford
Bread and coffee cost money
Even if cheaper thru the VA
His benefits were little not enough
So he just gave 20 cents
To the war collection team
When they knocked on his door
It brought back memories
Vietnam and Central America
Plus other deniable places
Still alive in his head
He didn't like Russians
So 20 cents was fine
The cost of ten bullets
For a competent soldier
He prayed they wouldn't miss
Once he was a soldier
With many good kills
All of them Russians...
real cost
what of the pilots' girlfriends and wives?
what were they told?
when their aircrew partners were mia?
not from iran or russia or china but alien
missing in action but deniable
missing over the ocean…
I'm totally maniacal
without human touch
Totally deniable
for newcomers such
I've got no more feelings
than what is to much-
love for a drilling
of honorable hutch
So off I go touchless
with love as a rush
Just staying two steps
ahead for the brush
So pity me not
No pity I say
Cause it's love that I pity
while going my way
So off I go touchless
as the poets will say
When the feelings I go through
are moments I say
When it's only to living
that life means so much
When you go on to living
a mother's known touch
We are of One Mind -
a tentacled,
ethereal monstrous mind,
not inherently vicious
but nevertheless
prone to random acts of terror.
One Mind swims,
slips through your time and mine.
Thought-eels mate in that gelatinous
body of I ’ness.
Legends grow into settled science,
words like krill swell
reach Brobdingnagian proportions,
become too big to fail, reach into the realms
of deniable plausibility.
Of course we must argue and differ,
debate and judiciously slaughter;
alone we are sprats and minnows
in the belly of a godly Kraken.
Of course we are One
but I do believe
that you’re all in My ocean
and I am Not in yours.
Crap Job
I’m endlessly told be grateful you’ve got a job
But I’d love to pick another slave to do it
So they can experience the bull I do
And feel the way I do about this crap
Day in day out on and on like a joy ride
But there’s no fun here just stress and crap
The job is classified but that means nothing
My job still exists even if it’s deniable
I’d love to go into details and explain
What we must do every ing day
But then I’d have to kill you or you me
For you’d be doing my job the new slave
In the same way I got this job long ago
I asked a person about their job
And they told me in full confidence
Their death put the stripes on me
And I’ve followed their hidden work
For the last four or five decades
Soon I’ll pick a new replacement
Maybe it will be you…
MAJOR INSOMNIA
CORPORAL SLEEP
Nick Armbrister and other writers
Witch Hazel failed her flying test.
She crashed her broom.
The worst marks in the wicked west,
they sealed her doom.
Her magic was deniable.
Her spells were unreliable.
Too low, too fast, I would assume.
She crashed her broom.
But Hazel wanted to be best,
the brightest bloom.
With lots of practice, she progressed
and shed her gloom.
She took the test a second time,
but struggled as she tried to climb.
Police blamed alcohol consumed.
She crashed her broom.
Like warring against faithful warriors,
I host these inside spirited voices
sometimes LeftWing win/win
and sometimes RightWing suboptimal win/lose,
Now outwardly accelerating toward deniable lose/lose climates--
narrow-minded nationalism
patriarchal religious privileged truth
xenophobic fears my own species will survive
to kill all others,
nihilism,
entropic dead ego-less apathy
un-ecosystemically pathological.
RightWing cynicism
feels like my hungry camouflaged wolf
impatiently waiting
for a kleptocratic
privileged White-Hetero terrorist's manly clothing
to sniff
then hate.
Yet, in silent LeftWing waiting for heroic deliverance,
in-between these SpiritSanctuary daytime Voices
of imagined ego/eco-consciousness,
Some voices, persuaded by compassionate universal feelings,
and others, more heuristically ambivalent,
hold out for immortal winning EarthTribe space
And, most coveted of all,
re-winning Paradise throughout remaining timeless time
for restoring just ecosystemic healthy EarthSoul
and active peace, communion
ego-celebrating SpiritVoices
More win/win attuned
in better sung and danced
health harmonic questions.
ABC I DO BELIEVE I LOVE U---
All I want to do is just enjoy the view;
Be still my eyes of pleasures I choose;
Capture your loveliness into my heart;
Departing my hunger, my thirst;
Everything, everythings wonderful I have a crush;
For this I must say now that I love you, love you much;
Grant me my love to coexist;
Have me, give me the honor not to resist;
I have a passionate love but yet Godly;
Justifiable love for you oddly...
Keeping my spirit, soul, mind heart open for you;
Love me today before you do pray;
Move me from my shattered views;
Never let it be said your mainstay;
Oh,be my true love true;
Please be mine my only girl;
Quickening my heart;
Rushes my blood to mind makes me start;
Sure I'm justifiable, I shall not be deniable;
Trust me with your love and heart;
Unify my broken heart;
Very endearing, love I care;
Wish to spent the rest of my life with you;
X ray vision I see your heart, I feel your hurts;
Your my chosen love I dreamt of this
Zealot dreams of wedded views please marry me in wedding-bliss

you met your master
met your deniable match

How I love you how I love you
trump Helsinki I O U
Taking a knee in front of Putin
The most egregious sin
Denying US intelligence of voting hack
trump gave Russia deniable slack
Given the facts and clear evidence of intrusion
trump talked of Hilary and no collusion
Almost like a person gone of the reservation
He continued to castigate his nation
Giving comfort and aid to a foreign nation
On its face a treasonous act complete degradation
He should be forced to resign or be impeached
Across the Rubicon we have breached
We all need something to believe in
But proof is far beyond conceiving
What a chapter condones in a bible
As my laughter atone's what's deniable...
By a profit who's taking a name
Like a soffit supporting a frame
Seeming sturdy but hollow inside
Yet so wordy there's nothing implied...
Till the message is lost on deaf ears
In the lessons that cost us our years
But we hope we recover the theft
As the Pope passes plates to the left...
Tempting lust that may hold me for spite
So the trust and betrayal that might
Occupy so much more than it should
And deny anything that's still good ...
But if there's a God in command
I dare him to stretch out his hand
And reach for the one thing my heart
Will beseech to my soul when I part...
