No Reason To Complain

Yikes, aside from mental
     health re: psychotherapy,
     which haint the worse
cyst phase of being
     objectionably being called "old man",
     this poem doth tack
     toward the no body,
     and will address

     no illusory (no 
     app for) pretensions
     alluding to verse,
the slow-mo ravages
     of aging, evincing
     and inching into
     solid AARP universe
suddenly (moon if fish int lee)
  
     impinges on endurance
     even crimping poetic
     raptures tubby terse
though (oh my this
     muttering ole hound) chronologically
     traversing that arbitrary, elliptically,
     and imaginary Maginot line
     i.e. almost three score year,

thy esprit de corps unlike
     complaining crotchety curmudgeon
     folks living here
Highland Manor situated
     in Schwenksville, Pennsylvania,
not much older
     than me do daily air
lamentations kvetching even

     on days pitch perfect and clear
find some bugaboo to gripe about
     which dispositions hardly
     makes them endear
ring at least to myself,
     a baby boomer
     (lix orbitz licked) gear
ring up to enter

     sixth decade of life,
when a tell tale battle
      of the bulge paunch
      finds mine equatorial zone
somewhat flabby, a mockery
     of washboard blubbery
     abdominal sculpted tone
engirdled with loathsome

     ample "NON FAKE"
     lovely jowly handles
which I hate, though
     human flesh naturally prone
to the lowest point of resistance,
     and finds these
     lovely bones to groan.


Macrocosm

Universally glueing
Black holes traversing
In neural networking
Transmitting thoughts
Swirling around galaxies
Inside the mind
Keeping time
Firing neurons 
Within space and time
Birth of thoughts
Planets spinning 
With moons rising
Seasons of cycling
Gravity spinning
In seeds of cohesion
Birthing galaxies
Fibers suspending
Hijacking reality
Questioning our being
Is space really freeing
Or is our timing
just alluding in recycling
the macrocosm of reflecting
Our mortality rating

Dedicated to my son Brandon. The environmental engineer.
Innovative and creative soul.

All Too Well

. for public domain

All Too Well*

Come, my Love and marry me.
A faithful man I'll be.
A family fine for all to see,
some children, you, and me.

"Oh, no." she calmly me replied,
"Your eye yet wanders wide.
Your soul is tethered as to the tide
comes and goes." she sighed.

For Love knew me all too well,
and so I took to sea.
I shook busy docks in seaside ports,
unloved, and angry me.

Wearily, I sought me home,
my back turned to the foam,
and pledged no more to wander and roam,
no more the sea to comb.

Wealth, and riches, gathered I,
a lifetime of supply,
yet never have I heard my child cry,
mourn by my Love's bedside.

Wiles Worth

.for public domain

I would stop for a time to catch my breath,
on many long day's journeys onto death. *
Short winded, there was little that I could attain,
but I hopped back into the fray again.

Now here with my living nearly over, 
more feeble and mostly bending over,
I pray dear lord please take these bonds from me,
let me at long last, rest easy, breathe free.

I'll not be idle, nor serve the devil's work,
my daily prayers you shall not find me shirk,
but give me a moment, let me believe
my life was worth living, before I leave.

* alluding to Eugene O'Neill's dreadful, "Long Day's Journey Into Night"

Bully Me You, I Exemplified Archetypal Scapegoat

Bully me you, I exemplified archetypal scapegoat

Even as old curmudgeon, aye pucker
and raspily suction toothless mouth
drawing reminiscent guffaws affecting
attempt impersonating plumber
(think unclogging toilet)
please support your local bummer

back in the day one
long haired pencil neck geeks palled
around with another 
hirsute nerd - Roger Kummerer,
(who both of us graduated Methacton
High School class of 1977),
and yours truly readily

admitting, alluding, and attesting
without shadow of doubt
representing the dumber
than rocks of said beastie boys
bandits, donning particolored pachyderm
gabardine garb getup trumpeting,

especially as Mummer
on each New Year's Day
with bare ass tuchus
excellently imitating courtesy said orifice
(as chief motormouth) sound
of combo motorboat hummer.

Ah... the joys of amazingly aging gracefully
happily recalling never being beat into pulp dully
imagining dimming sense and sensibility
before (appearing gratefully dead)
lifeless body dumped into gully

nonetheless all the while fully
maintaining conscious, and forcefully
summoning forth latent powers gleefully
choking living daylights masterfully
delivering just desserts upon Tom Viglione,

whose plaintive laments truthfully
resonate as blessed music
to ears unaccustomed hearing pitifully
sounding long overdue comeuppance

forever disbelieving wrongfully
perpetrated injustice witnessed impossible mission
fueling an ordinarily meek lad
only in his dreams, he envisions zestfully.

Pugnacious thuggish hooligans... although
decades long since elapsed, whereby hoodlums
jockeyed to rain one after another verbal blow
threatening introverted diminutive boy

who, no surprise did eventually,
albeit (stuntedly) grow
(as an aside resembled anorexic
Santa Claus ho... ho... ho...)

still wracked, impacted, affected..., 
this punster, he haint Joe
King, but upholds valuable humor less or mo'
feebly, lamely, and quirkily aspires toward po'
whit tree linkedin with infusing,
(no matter ex post facto)
freeing mine unsung hero.

Where Do You Stand

There is so much deception
Diluted reflections,
Alluding to perfection
But denying the resurrection,
Changing what was formed during conception,
While claiming they are an exception.
It’s only a matter of time,
Before the righteous shine
For these trials are benign
In the grand span of time.
All these tests,
Bring forth the best,
And separate us from the rest.
Some think they are so blessed
But they are goats, I must confess
They are breaches in this mess.
Selling daughters
To the Order
Draping sin
 In fine linen
Making love… a financial gain
While your sons go insane
Drinking blood sacrificed to demons
Making wealth off a man’s seaman.
Idolatry clothed in the "common good"
Many have forsaken what God said they would.
Perfecting holy words to fit a style
Don’t you know God says its vial?
Fear of man rather than the one
Who can cast you to hell and heal your son.
The infinite power, love and grace
Has suddenly been altered and replaced
By doctrines of devils and smooth operators
There is only one God and the rest are all haters.
But many go along with the times,
As if time won’t stop and require a fine.
We all have a date with an eternal fate,
We all have a dance with an eternal romance.
The question is what kind of dance will you eventually partake
Will it be pearly white gates or a fire filled lake?

The Precious Freedom I Love

There's no need to be jealous and ban
the freedom I Love and I will express
in every emotion, in every gesture unfolding;
there's no need  to put my plans
on hold, hope is the air I'm breathing,
and somehow I'll escape from your den...
without asking for space,
or alluding to distance. 

The precious freedom I love
gives me life and more;
you'll pay for your cruelty:
living alone and without me.

Don't tie a rope around my neck
and suffocate me thinking I'll obey;
you are  unfair, insane, and cruel
all you want is owing me for yourself
and you hate when I talk back...
put down that bottle and say,
" I apologize for being a fool. " 
Yes, you can redeem yourself!

The precious freedom I love
is a commitment I'm proud to declare with a shout;
never hold me down and think I'm completely yours;
never suppress words that conflict with mine,
I have fallen for you once, but not twice...
being treated unfairly leads to resentment and tears! 
The precious freedom I love
is priceless and it's something I'm not willing to give up!

He Refutes the Central Tenets of Western Philosophy by Alluding to Rachel’s Beauty

Plato says that Heaven is perfect things, 
that nothing pure or good exists on earth. 
We leave the Ideal World when, at our birth, 
like ants who've briefly flown, we shed our wings. 

All infants cry, in Shakespeare's view, when first 
they leave the womb, to find this Vale of Tears 
is what they must inhabit four score years, 
dreading hardships into which they've burst. 

Our human life, so Seneca would say, 
is prone to failure, suffering and pain. 
The only shreds of solace that remain 
are stoic calm, acceptance of decay. 

They're wrong, of course, to tend towards this view: 
but then, my Perfect Girl, they didn't know you.

An Unflinching Character

Perception is alluding or even amply deceptive,
people may seem very strange and so delusive
in the interaction with sophisticated society:
where the norm is to display intellectuality
in the way they dress, the way they speak;
God help them when personal secrets leak,
will they expose their unflinching character? 

I suggest all remain true to their valued ideals,
and despite the possible derision from peers   
not brought up with a strict criteria of morals,
it won't make anyone feel less than an individual:
who has made an effort to stand out from all?
Figure out who'll be enraged and criticized! 

Consider the fragility of spirit not reassured by self-worth,
but firmly strengthened by strong temptation and want;
the accumulation of riches without the value they impart,
pile up mountains of it only to show their immense wealth! 

One of the richest men that ever existed pondered upon this,
hoping that his chosen heirs would be shrewd and not squander it
for some wits, but managed it wisely remembering his many sacrifices:
would they honor it with the certainty, not with the fear it wouldn't last?
