Long Austerity Poems

let me touch the gray stone that stands

lies a tidal river
of ebb and flow revolutions.

These revolutions are normally no-news evolutions
back up toward headwaters of crisis and opportunity,
diastatic and polyphonic purest capital boundary roots

out-flowing down
from...

Insurrection and rebellion abound
Catching the chattering classes...

I felt another presence besides myself, suddenly I...

I had a dream last night
fogged by an uneven frost of the morning
guessing if the sun rose.

it was night still
with forehead engulfed by the fallen hair.

What is a poem absent the context of motion 
a meandering spark of nebulous intent
a senseless sentiment bereft of sphere 
an ultimately monumental apparition
a lie of omission 
and a trivial pursuit of nothing

I woke up that day with tears in my eyes,
after I heard about your father's demise.
Guess you've never understood,
the point of being his blood.

I remember when your mother left,
how he was totally bereft.
Ran off with...

Mind differs from the body.
creed of what we embody.
Start with phonetic rhymes
We learn to grasp algorithms.

PART I-HELL

The most dreadful place
which terrified me was Hell;
who made up this horrible word?
Not the Renaissance poet Dante, of course;
most probably the Catholic Church.
My human flesh never burned,
it felt the eternal torment of flames
and the...

seems as if everybody gotta have it
Possessing something

Desired for the inordinate attention it bring
Ownership of something

Whether it be said aloud or kept hidden in the minds,
In the minds of politicians, soldiers, and citizens.

Is directed towards the flight of democracy,
And the descent of communism,

Can turn the mundane into a humor-filled zone.
Giggling and squirming, full of curiosity,
They stumbled upon a wild world of hilarity.

They tapped carelessly and swiped...
