Premium MemberEducation'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....

A Spenserian Sonnet
(Mr. Snake falls in love with a garden hose)

Today I slithered up a grassy hill,
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
