In the congruent eddy of life and time
That may twist and turn but will end inline
We may see the end in front of us
But will spin and bend with existence flurry
it will always abruptly end no matter the plan
Continue to drop until the last grain of sand
No mercy to even the best of us
With no favors can we curry
I've ran a race with all due zeal
I have stood tall and refused to neal
I'm inclined to beg no more
And inclined to see it through
Back, will my limited reality be pealed
In tacked, as my short comings be sealed
With no risk on to the unwanted be poured
And no more will be due .
Lonely leaf afloat
Along the muddy eddies
Swirling, stuck endlessly
Viv withdrew all money out of Easy Eddy’s account
Not sure how much it was, but a staggering amount.
Maybe because he was dyslexic and could not read.
She got by with this for a month, she had tremendous greed.
Eddy still loved Viv, and they had remained married too.
Even though she had run off a year ago with Mr. Managoo.
Eddy finally took the selfish Viv off of his bank account also.
Not your life insurance too! She wailed in a cow’s bellow.
What might be the matter
With our next-door Martha,
Her rash mischief steady
And she, by choice, heady;
Content to seem an Eddy,
Her gross slaps often ready
Last week, the cheeks of Freddie?
And her guy who is intelligent
Keeps betraying more The Belligerent
Our own share of Satan’s Sergeant,
For his weapons include detergent
And maybe, tomorrow, A Reagent!
A huge surprise they call him agent,
Who thinks and acts like an insurgent.
I keep espying an aggressiveness
Of catching sureness and silliness
Eddy currents rise, to delight
Magnetism, so subtle
Rapture tingles through day and night
Love without rebuttal
Within the Sushumna
Chitrini and Brahma
Unveil chakra Ajna
Behold bliss surprise
Eddy currents rise

Quietus
Nicola Tesla
fashioned
an elixir for free electricity for the masses.
Eddie Grant
sang
about the hardships
of the poor, the oppressed, the desperate.
Decades separated the two of them
but they strolled down Electric Avenue
hearts beating in unison.
The elixir quickly vanished
Nicola passed away in a flophouse- penniless
his vision unrealized
Eddy still wails about toxic social problems
largely unresolved.
bubbles...
expand and rotate due to
heats energies ballooning within...
changing in three dimensions at once and...
imaging as trefoil knots...stretching time-space
conservation limits till...the bubble gives birth
to smaller spheres each...with a trefoil expanding...
as a temporary three dimensional...time 'eddy' being that
manifests change as...sediments...with respect the currents of time
stan's sand
eddy's leftovers from - life's sediment-alley-time currents
-----------------------------------------------------------------
musing a roadside can
send a mental image of...
a sediment-alley time-traveler
stilled yet echoing past times...
in memorium of some time-current beats miss't
that changed an eddy to a send-a-mental tune...

Cousin Eddy was incredibly fun.
Thought everything was delightful.
Smiled and laughed; a joy to the family.
More than anyone I ever met, he was happy.
I often thought he was too good for this world.
God thought so too.
Took him home when he was four.
Sixty-four years later I remember Cousin Eddy’s smile and his laugh.
I can shut my eyes and see him as if it is 1956.
I think he knew he was on loan, so he had to spread joy
As fast as he could.
A long hard look softens to the touch
life lines rivers that ebbed and flowed
the midstream upstream fight
has left its nicks and scars
but the brooks that babbled batting lashes
that sent splashes over laugh line rapids
and pooled in floods of pain
have all eventually
come to swirl
in the curled corners
of an ultimately unerodible smile

Villanelle: Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Or cosmic spins pierce through armoured shells
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
Make the side win hoards of precious nuggets
Rousing Super Bowl far-flung galaxy yells
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Elsewhere rugger lads break through pelting belts
Asteroid storms of bare bones and muscles
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
Watch how rugby touch-downs pile-up sweats
Barely kissing ground hugged balls crushed in smells
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Rugbymen fall for foes during somersaults
Some even take home loads of their scented cells
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets
O! Lord of the Nations! Let fear nor threats
Keep you from flexing wills with alien spells
Do spun balls eddy through Black Hole corsets
Who threads sheltered yards in safe space rockets

Edward Snowden
When Edward Snowden* snowed in,
no one thought it a sin,
save the snooping sultans who froze.
When on the run or cubby-holed, for friends, he had only woes.
