difficult decision.
A decision that may...

It seemed to me,
when I was eight,
U.S. Christian disciples and teachers
had been given so much grace

And had fundamentally boiled it down
to settling for such small subcontinental WhitePatriarchal colonizing gratitude
for God's universally healthy
multicultural EarthTribes.

It was so...

He’s been grumpy and snappy all day!

"You in the military?"

I was confused at first and didn't know why the man would ask me such a question. But then I remembered my recent haircut.

"No... is it because I shaved my head, that...

The personal is political and I take the political quite personal

and please do not get me wrong because I am not one to moan

The love plan


You can’t plan for love; you don’t decide who you get.

And you can know that the two of you would be good together,

I have never seen a flower blush when I took it's hue

grew up watching badass women on screen,

the sea so blue and pristine.

Water glistening on her...

In which one feels like an addict on methadone

A small paradise island,
In the Caribbean Sea,
Rain comes once a year,
Sure does sound like ecstasy.
It’s not in travel brochures,
And there is no airport here,
The population’s seventy,
Not all of them appear!
A cabin on the waterfront,
No need...

Magical thought whereupon each soul gleams.
Locked by a culture engraved on the soul. 
Harvests where births’ golden customs unroll.

Living antiquated amid pompous brochures
Sleeping upon mats on plank...

In a show of manic one-upmanship
With my wife saying, “Just get a grip.”

It's relatively a slow process.
A thought builds upon anticipation.
Thanks to the nostalgia ingrained by Disney.
Musically the songs are different.
Granted the press of a thumb.
Spotify, Pandora.
An assortment of different streams all profoundly deep.
Separately, the adaptation is...

UTOPIA POETRY CONTEST BY 03/28/2017

I searched for brochures on the internet
I even went to the Library of Congress last June!
Does heaven win merely by default?

But neither have I...

he wasn’t in it very often
