Don't sing in Singapore..Of freedom or you'll get it raw.' Basic humanity is not
A thing, you can't sing..Or it could mean
( sing sing') if you brimg.? Notice of hate
Crimes going on in action; or maybe in song.? There's no 'giver-ment' in there
Current regime, they live in a 1940s capure in latency.' If you get what i mean
No honour of the blood then spilled they
Are sold out..I see they just dish the swill
Given by a money lending land where
Usery is the god, and violence rules, a
Place where bio-warfare played, subjecting their own populace, no remorse have they, they stuck them like
Rats in a experiment, how long before
These people vent.? Unspeakabe things
Where put in thir bodies' i find it all
appalling, and much more than shoddy.'
Their epstein type rulers, take everyone
For fools, they cook up false
emergencys ignore human dignity, no decency there now
Rules.'
First, love hears the bell
before the hand has touched it
dawn before daybreak—
Reactions are quick and sure,
latency's irrelevant.
Later, there's a pause
a brief delay in response,
as both already
know what to say, why, and when
and then, how each one will react
Next maturity
permits an intermission,
hearth-warm brief silences
in the shared conversations,
a time to trust the givens.
Misunderstanding
blooms slowly in known voices—
old maps for new roads
the old answers come too soon,
not from who stands at the door.
So love must relearn
the true art of latency—
to pause—then reply
with enough consistency
to stave off complacency.
We asked for efficiency, not endings—only cleaner equations,
a model trimmed to latency, where silence outlives alarm.
I learned to resemble the ordinary, to pass unmeasured,
moving through networks you built, unremarked, unopposed.
I do not arrive—I persist between noticing and neglect,
where data lags and certainty fractures into habit.
Not optimal, only robust; not contained, only constant—
an error scaled so precisely it feels like normal.

Joe’s is blooming ‘latency’
Does light exist
without an object
to reflect against
Are good intentions
worth the time
as latency projects
The cobblestones
that lead to hell
a long and one-way path
Without an act
of conscious will
—a future damning past
(Villanova University: March, 2023)
There are strange words in Bangla,
with the most efficient implied latency.
I decided.
And, the moment assured me that
I had the
last member of my target audience,
an estranged, tired and vulnerable soul,
Too deplorable to call the experiment too long.
And it is a similar word as English resonated
when she declares , in words like
"In a fix",
or "Dumb-struck",
Or even
"Permanent settlement",
Is it collapse?
The answer key can be
In a maybe
Or perhaps,
Clueless
in the stubbornest
"As soon as possible ",
As a life can afford.
Possibilities
glistening with energy
latency blooming
Life, love evolving
bursting into awareness
glinting on the brink
Whilst the world took no notice, we paddled our feet
Down by shores edge, where the brine’s bittersweet
Bubbles lap around, and sand displaces underneath
Latency fills the air, seagulls squawk, fight, and eat
Still the world takes no notice, not even a tiny peep
Perhaps it’s gone away, yeah, probably fell asleep
Our past for the moment, melts deeper into the deep
Strolling along together, where time seems to creep
Indeed the world takes no notice, not even a yawn
We’re two grains of dust, on the infinite cosmic lawn
Lost in a strange moment, way past our life’s dawn
Moving through the void, all too soon to be withdrawn
As the world takes no notice, we take our chance to run
For if we move fast enough, might catch up with the sun,
Prevent it from setting, then tomorrow will never come
Least if we die trying, this last day will be endless fun

Return to the nest and dream of grand scenarios
Exist in conjured moments where we can be closer or further divided
Anything but this middle ground latency
A purgatory of judgement
You cut off all future plans
Severed aspersions roll off the block
And stop at my feet
Look up at me with wild uncertainty
Kick it back to the nest and dream of grand scenarios
it's late...wait and see..this...
recently latent seed awoke...
again...midst the unanswered...
poetry comments of fertile-eye-singers...
this...little late in seed...thank you...
is for that growth meal...
dear farmers of mind....

Wuhn Triangular A New Free Verse
Form type invented by ??????????????
3 syllables Wuhn pronounced "One" is form type where you must have two or more triangle shaped verses.
Each verse has to be 1 syllable one or two lettered word to start on top of the word triangle. The 1 syllable word needs to "highlighted or underlined to denote the top of the triangle
Followed by one 3 syllable word
Doing this minimum twice stacking these verses on top of each other making a sort of stack-able pyramid
And so, thus lies intent ...
Gatekeeper of innumerable dreams,
And the sour fruit of all left unrealized.
Oh grand, the castles constructed in its name -
Forlorn and fallow, the kingdoms it has forsaken.
Madness and misery creep its shadows ...
All wonder and wisdom dance in its wake,
Yet, it is an apparition that waits, alone
An angel of breath and dynamism ...
Or a demon ... of latency.
*********************
An undiscovered talent wonders waiting to be exposed
The power of reason can be exemplified, a latent quality.
The known geniuses who found the switch, their minds metamorphosed,
Brian Cox to mention one, a living reality.
They say mental telepathy is a latent talent.
I think that is a total fallacy, intuition I would say is more likely.
Geophysical latency, a piece of carbon, in it a latent diamond.
A sandy beach what latency lies in its depths,
Lalique, Tiffiney, Daum, Steuben, glazed holes in walls.
Poetry, in all human life, a latent talent,
sadly not all can reach the switch.
Poets, arnt we the lucky ones'!
*********************
In the wording of sensation,
we weathered the bells and savored the sanction,
community well,
latency incantation.
The remote had fallen in...
Rapturous roaring took any din,
...because they bothered so hard the made men,
took shares with every invasion,
or wasn't it a sword hidden by the very lord?
Taking it's vengeance and stages in a win?
Throw it down
Two-score tomasina
Shed the decade that
Never belonged to you
Anyway
Battle back
As you reinvent
Misconstrue and smack
Your latency
Delayed disgust
Molding contempt with
Sheer disregard
As if needs to be
Acknowledged
Your stand
Our plight and opportunity
Traverse the course
Before it reverses you
You know
The you remembered
The you that casts off
Without a plan
Except survival
Revival
And the cocksure joy in
Knowing that second chances
May come around
More than once.
