slap dash fashion
over the course

therefore desist reading

Oh uplift me woman

conversation would 
bees fly out of your mouth

Premium Member 5
"5" 

benevolence and favour
seemed to be absent
in the world 

grace, a name 
whispered before 
a meal shared

5 fingers 
on each hand
steeples, hiding people 

games played
in reverence
as a child

war paint 
bleeding 
signs

in the footprints
the number of...

War Pipe Bong

It’s so serious,
it ain’t even funny
High times going on
in a White House underground bunker,
where Archie is glassblowing
American taxpayers’ money
He got heavy munchies
of Jughead hero dreams
Telling his kitchen cabinet
to kiss the silver signet 
of his fingered...

Talking trash

A stern visage
A stern old man

crystal Orion belted
mysterious black opals

Blue globed

a Star calls us

Home

other windows once jaded
are jewels, like emeralds and 
sapphire skies, topaz earthed

Becoming 

portals to worlds of others,

A Different Dream


I had a dream —

Mine’s wasn’t like Martin Luther King,

So very dark to the core

How did I find you
Half a world away?
Must be divine intervention
Or maybe just my luckiest day

An internet messenger
Brought me your smile
And made my dead heart beat again

And true love...

It Can'T Happen Here
The pundits and talking heads
The chaterati classes

All assure us 
That it can’t happen here
Fascism will never happen here

Our democratic system 
Superior to all others
Check and balances 
Power of the media

Will prevent fascism 
From taking root...
