Education's Dissipation
Teachers quitting at record rates
Why face daily violence and hate
Public schools face colossal debt
Yet teachers' pensions fatter get
Unions clamor for more and more
Though few are left to mind the store
Education as the province of

Artless Dissipation - Wdj
30 January 2021
The prodigy has turned prodigal
Making silver spoons out of gold medals
While the hearsay deepens about clandestine meetings
I fix myself a plate of pity party, for I know nobody
I don’t even know myself
The prodigy is now pedestrian
Crossing roads without a care
And I lost track of time ages ago
In blue screens and daydreams
So

The Dissipation of Modern Rhythmic Suffering
whispering a tune
blue tablet vibrating
to the gentle wind's rhythm
as we all cooperate with blowing
locks of nostalgia
never bored in my time machine
the sands of time wave at me with
flowing currents of sincerity
i never have to wait
for the old fryer is never late
i am forever pulled in by
gravitational forces of melancholy bliss....

wet from the creek and eager to explore.
The urge to snare a mate devoured my will,
could not this be the day for me to score?
I spot you there beside the garden door,
your slick green shape pervades my hungry

Dissipation
I'm a vagrant in these bones
stricken, yearning, almost home
water skin and tears alone
for you.
I'm a wisher of desire
quelled, ignited lifting higher
rancid in the moment's fire
it's true...
I'm the gait found in your step
lost and found and quite bereft
petrified in bones and left
for you.
I'm the moment that you thought
life and happiness were caught
'till you gave up what

Dissipation
Dissipation
An echo
A ripple in the pond
A vibration
Of a distant time
Dissolving
Decaying
Delaying
Disintegrating
Trying to shield the erosion
As with all that is
And all that will be-
Only exists right now
Losing focus
Staring at everything at once
Slowing time
Giving in to the resolve
Fade to light
The long night
A quiet riot
Without delight
