Long Calibrate Poems

I dread the United States presidential 2024 outcome...

Whereby yours truly presages and doth abhor
nothing short of an imminent civil war
dwarfing insurrection on January 6, 2021
oddly enough even reducing
ordinary decibels to a mute whisper
madding crowd trumpeting...

Deep inhalation and exhalation

relaxation, attributed to stress,
tension, unconscious vectors 
woefully agglomerate

jiggling before a
fountain toss.

“What is your worth?”
you ask.

for the term of usefulness.

“What is your worth?”
you ask.
Without asking.

Your eyes...

And so they sat, this learned three
in full pursuit of liberty,
the turkey, eagle and the dove
looked down upon them from above.

The declaration almost writ
they rubbed their chins a little bit;

Balanced systems normally calibrate
through double-negative dipolar feedback loops,
in which a change in one cause

		Possibly with milk

			Maybe with sugar

Mostly on Sundays and with cream as a bonus


Today they call it caffe latte or cappuccino

1 Knocked to the Ground

There’s no bell, nor stars—
just bloody knees.
You haven’t thought of heaven or hell,
when you cursed the sneeze.

2 Ignoring the Obvious Cause

Using a whisk
to dust off the hole in your knees.
You’re a...

I'm stuck between two choices. Is it this, or is it that? 
So much weight rides upon my back. 

A pack mule to the world, and a slave to my envy.
