with least risk
and greatest potential for self-optimizing return?
He invited me to sit down
to consider cooperative transactions

Cat 5
I saw a cat quartet within my dodgy dream,
Sorta started worryin' that I'd gone off the beam,
Really began to wonder if my mind was gettin' weak,
They had their own language that only they could speak.

One Way Ships - Part 2
Continued from Part 1
Hungary hounds harangue the highlands,
howl at skies and desert islands…
Below, unfettered carbon crows conceal the parting path she chose
Lighthouse lamps and lanterns lolling…

The shallow shadowed portholes vaunt dim...

Unsettling Spirits
Oddly unsettling,
how The UnHolonic Spirit compels conservative,
defensive feelings
of autonomous ego-righteousness
when we see our physically healthy robust selves
elitely privileged,
maybe even aristocratically WinLose kleptocratic
as short-term necessary

The Yang-expedient violent communicator,
Creator of WinLose GetReal...

Whilst mokala and plotters lead us in lots.
And slaves we have become, slaves we are groomed

burnished in the noon day light
drowsy from the heat I stray
beneath a drooping limb
above I hear a scolding jay
as weary eyes go dim

=====================================
Can any here recall my name?
Intoned by plenty years ago,
today I'd say but for a game
they play, not many here may know!
But here I stand and there you sit
and since we're comrades, more or less,
let's...

The Castle In the Gloom
On Devon’s moors I found myself
walking to clear my head,
to shake off loss for just a bit,

feel something other than dead.
