Long Autopilot Poems

Who snored the loudest was open to question
But each would deny such an insane suggestion
The phone rang just once and she opened one eye
‘Up you get, Nitro, we gotta fly.’

Nitro Cat yawned and he leapt...

it had indeed become the autumn of his life and he had harshly lost

every spring in his step when his wife began to abuse his good faith

abandoned him by the way side and the side...

dust had gathered on her many memories in outlines and heaps

had sheltered her from full on attacks of pain and self lacerations

the broom with razors attached right next to the end of the stick


inside lay...

Growing up with ADHD forces you to adapt,
impulsive behaviour controls how you react,
attention span wanders and naturally distracts,
you face an impact, that in fact, doesn't change how you act.

Turns your face red but still you...

the water in the teapot is boiling &
the top is rattling---
as the hot steam begins to bubble out
the piercing scream is coming---
14+ million out of work
no universal health insurance
foreclosures upon foreclosures

sabatoge of autopilot
couldnt turn it off
was anyone even on the plane
the fake list of names
the switched camera feeds
are we looking at this from the right angle

so i was thinking my thoughts about thinking
and i thunk...

I'm all swirled up whilst sat so still
Bothered by blusters of half formed thoughts
Tumultuous and treading carefully
With myself
Who I vowed to be kind to

Maybe adrenaline courses about
Attacking little hillocks
Of troubles with 
Highway Man demands of
Flight,...

Human being shell sleep no more,
Lubits has murdered our sleep forever 

Right up we must get to the hard truth
and not blind out the fact
that our wisdom and common sense 
should not have been overestimated...

What's the espresso this evening, Rubicam?
My random access memory will light upon it
As I riffle the files of my brain.
Pulling out something fresh,
I burst out with words to cover the enigma.
Bones
Bones are the fare--
Stewed bones...

Invisible 

I see you,

Rushing about,

I've cried the tears ...
I've suffered the years ...
I've tasted the fears ...
Of a spaceman hurtling through the void
Loneliness grows daily on the inside,
as I continue this autopilot ride
to the other side of the sun
This...

Though the same might well be said for the men,
My brain is not on autopilot for them.

     On a hunt for portable heat through a whipping wind

Coldness is swallowing me, freezing me in time.
This beast inside me is all I can call mine.
All I have left is the thought of your crime.
I've lost my self, my being, my very mind.

It does...

Some people have 'the look' and exemplify 'the part' for a lifetime.
The curtain has opened; their 'stage of life' unfolds, and the role they
seem destined to play, is set on autopilot with predictable outcomes.

Some others...

As a frightened little kid 
I remember the dark rooms
I remember all the yelling
N innocent spirit it consumes
Remember psychoanalyzing
Getting inside my head
The long days of screaming
The intimidation it spread
Knowing what I'm thinking
Even though it wasn't...

I fell into shadow. All is heavy.
Body is quiet. Yet, mind rejects me.
Left without full breath. Everything is gray.
I don't want to go. I don't want to stay.
No hunger, taste, or cheer. Silence is bliss.
Waves...

In another century
artificial intelligence will rule
humans will live like the Jetson's
with robots in your homes and schools

The one child only policy
will be strictly enforced
because there is no longer a need for many humans
in the brave...

Autopilot tired
broken wings
sore in soaring flight
fluttering, down-spiral 
clouds streaming beyond fog 
drowsy
then, 
three barrel rolls
swirling through silver light
simulcast storm shakes black topsoil
mineral enriched,
vitamins collide,
seep through porous skin
providing synthesized eruptions
cataclysmic spasms drop knowledge undetected by erudition

The three hundred
shall perish again,
As history repeats
itself.
Although this time,
it may only be 297.
My mother was
possessed by the
God, Apollo,
On the 21st the new
Oracle of Delphi is
crowned.
And although the
prophet is blind,
it makes the
prediction no less
false,
the narrative no
less...

Cold from my skin
to my bone
through a heart of stone
only one will know
And to what to say
Wasn't that day
but tried to grow
wish you are as happy
as you made me
Prick without
argument
This pitiful verse
I am sorry for...

Just walking along past a hospital and there's someone relaying their lunch to someone on the phone
"Macaroni cheese and chips"
"Ooh that sounds alright!" I heard from the phone receiver.
And it set my mind running from...

colors of the southwest parade into my meditation tonight
turquoise clouds lead the parade, floating in Rubenesque puffy ways
I feel beloved, at peace, they have brought hope and revitalization
my breathing has changed, I am on autopilot,...
