and the former President he was destined to most resemble
in spirit and...

Glimmerings of Truth
They say making a friend is quite easy,
It’s “not being eaten” that’s hard,
And a cloud’s life is known to be breezy,
A dog’s mean (that’s tied in a yard)....
That a lifetime can pass in an...

Perfect Balanced Pitch
Imperfection is the mirror of perfection;
opposites reveal each other.
Rumi (M Mafi translation)
Dissonance is the non-polynomial mirror of confluence;
opposites unveil each other.
Ego-suffering grows the anti-relational mirror for eco-optimization;
opposites reveal each other.
Past economic competition grows the crystal...

Submerged underneath the melancholy ;

For tides of life aren’t meant to last but to strengthen our soul...

Quoting Einstein
I wonder if Einstein's moral aphorisms,
observations about healthy inclusive values,
concern about dominant cultural confusion
between positive humane energy
and anthro-supremacist mass,
If these spacetime thought experiments
could be quoted more or less RealTime often
than metric equivalence formulas
of 3D spatial...

I get mesmerized each time I try

And at the same time blow my mind

But a focal tool of oppression
Wealth and generosity are...

Malaphorisms, or, Sayings Unsaid
We grew up with aphorisms--
Pithy, witty observations;
Some may only be sophisms
That were passed through generations.
Old but not anachronisms,
They’re still true in many nations.
They have kept their witticisms
And established strong foundations.
As I’m fond of verbalisms,
I have...

Beyond the Prism of Aphorisms
An Escarpment of memories
Distilled into form
Congealed to moisture
Before the storm.
I visit vagaries of such places
where measuring worlds
Or matching faces
Upon that inward surface
Of a glassy eye,
May bring one...

Euphemistically Speaking
What’s the kindest thing you can say,
about someone who’s not really nice
Compliment them in an obtuse fashion,
blunt talk wouldn’t be the right approach
Sometimes it’s hard to find
pleasant words
to describe somebody’s foul disposition
Oh, they just...

Grace and Solitude
Emerging from sleep dream temerity,
his remote aurora spectral prisms
from which his wakefulness gives legerity,
from which surfaces new burgeoning aphorisms.

his morning ataraxia in the still water lake
from where his senses...

Lone Warrior - a Cyberpoem
Across the shadowed byte desert, a lone warrior limped.
Impelled by a spirited misanthropy, he plied the
idle partitions of mind and thirst.
An orphaned amorist, passionate, but alone.
And as he stumbled, the adders whispered hoarsely, and
the diodes...

WISECRACKS
“Work is worship," a doctrine passed through centuries,
"Rest is rebellion," a baton, drowning in miseries.

"Everything returns," as destiny bestows.
"Silence is golden," a soft ebb that silhouettes the sand,
"Words can change the...

I'Ll Admit My Debt To You

Shamelessly proclaiming
Barefaced and audacious

Always hanging on your estimations
Where there is place enough for laughter
Never tasting the guilt with...
