Dynamic Reef Flexion Within the Restless Earth

Dynamic reef flexion within the restless Earth

Continental drift spelled birth

in early geologic time,
a supercontinent that incorporated 
almost all the landmasses on Earth.

While rifling through mine

yours truly chanced upon 
satisfactorily worded 
geological event 
where plate tectonics wrought
subterranean violent transformation
about a half dozen years ago.

Binary Math Rules

Binary Math Rules.

Let me tell you a tale, my friend,
Of ones and zeros that never end.
A world of binary, simple and true,
With rules to help guide you.

First, addition is easy as can be,
Just like counting, it's plain to see.
Add each column right to left,
Carry over if it's too deft.

Subtraction takes a bit more thought,
But with practice, it can be caught.
Borrow from the next column to the left,
And subtract as you would with the best.

Multiplication is just like adding more,
But with a trick that you'll adore.
Multiply each digit, right to left,
And add them up to get your quest.

Division is the trickiest of all,
But don't worry, you won't fall.
Divide as you would in base ten,
And the answer will come to you then.

And lastly, don't forget the power,
A binary concept that's never sour.
Two to the power of each column's place,
Will give you a number with grace.

So there you have it, my friend,
Binary math from start to end.
Remember these rules and you'll do just fine,
In the world of ones and zeros that shine.

Premium Member The Kiss

Melanie: Why would you want to marry me for, anyhow?
Jake: So I can kiss you anytime I want.

Sweet Home Alabama

THE KISS

See Rodin’s sculpture, sumptuous or a stiff on the shelf.
I have to inquire about the development of their hot lips.
Oh have I a story to tell the young - one about myself,
the happenstance as our nuptial sun and moon eclipse.

We avow in front of witnesses at the Beach’s square.
Behind our backs, windows speaking,   “Don’t do it!”
The prisoners wear black and white stripes, bars stare,
still they believe in forever after, happily or despite it.

The Kiss, romantic bliss, a formidable honeymoon thrill.
Two bodies encapsulated into one pill, happy or bitter.
Naked for all to see, plastered over the waves, his will
of handsy regret or not, inspire of modern day twitter.

I’m in my wedding-white gown, contrast of a shotgun —
Dad’s not trying to marry me off and I’m not from the hills.
Regardless, the cake and wine awaits in the Virginia sun.
I repeat the words from the Justice of the peace, the untils.

An eventual kiss in sight…oh what Rodin has in mind!
Would he be proud of my dad, when my espoused asked,
“Can I trust her to drive?” …the response, curt and unkind,
“I don’t know. I trusted her when she left.” Dad unmasked.

My to-be wears his Navy cap, concealing his eyes.
Terrified that my parents had arrived and their camper.
Side-by-side sister-in-laws, sizing them up would be wise.
In what possible way could Rodin create mischief…tamper?

The moment arrived…. “You may kiss the bride.”
The jailbirds whistled and their hand claps echoed.
Between the eclipse of the sun and the moon, it’s slide,
vibrations of laughter we would carry over the threshold.

Inevitable

Inevitable…

It’s funny how it goes
Some days I just don’t know
Whether I’m coming or where I’m going to
And today is one of those dark spots that I know
I’m evolving into their eternal bleakness
With not much hope left to hold me over…
Until tomorrow

I can’t wait for my salvation
Release from self-condemnation
Guided by beliefs that have no bearing here
On the outcome of my life
Whether or not I am judged by a higher power
Is not a principal I can count on
As reciprocation for good intent is non-existent

I bide my time in this world
Unable to prevent the inevitable
I ride my rhymes through this world
Only to prolong the inevitable
When in the end
The inevitable comes for everyone

Everything can carry over
From one day to the next
From one life into another
So who is there to tell you whether or not, 
Right from wrong…
Just because you think of greener pastures
Doesn’t mean that you will find them here
Or there…

When you need them now
To help fend off the inevitable
The time is now
If I am to put off the inevitable
Because in the end, the inevitable comes for everyone

Is this the end??

Premium Member The Use of Time

Time is the only gift that keeps giving
as it ticks relentlessly away.
It is an indifferent benefactor
brutally fair with its pennies.
Each dawn sees more hours in our account.
But it never checks the balance,
there is never any carry-over,
no borrowing, debt or overdraft.

Time is endless; it ticks on regardless.
Its account respects not its waste, 
nor wise use, nor measured or frivolous use.
Procrastination is ignored.
It waits for nothing
why should it?

It catches up with us
as we catch the clock face
counting the past,
which is the one tense, 
that time forgot long ago.
Time is merely a witness,
watching on CCTV.

We speak of spending time 
as though we possess it,
but it never belonged to us anyway,
it was never given, only taken,
as it ticks away.

Saving time is a delusion
it ticks away.
Tomorrow is an illusion,
a tick for another day.
time well spent
is a drip drop splat
in the ocean's séance,
that ticks away, ticks away.

Time has no use at all.
It is totally indifferent.
It leaves no traces of its passage,
which we observe in tree rings, wrinkles,
scars, sediments, stories, 
relics and memories.
Time knows nothing of such things.
We imagine we are moving through time, 
yet we are the hourglass 
through which the sands of time can move.

The past never exists.
The future does not yet exist.
The present vanishes before 
we can touch a finger on it.

The past is a recollection
future is anticipation
present is participation
time has no reflection.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow 
all exist concurrently.

Time began with the Big Bang
the downbeat for existence.
It is the sound entropy makes 
as it unfolds order into disorder.
It is an ever expanding passage
relentless in its ticking.
Its rhythm is indifferent
to whether we dance
or simply count the notes.

Present and Accounted For

i am not a savant
but an idiot for
sure for what
some would
say was a
god made

gift but

the word
"gift" in German
translates to the
word "poison" so
let me wake to take
another dose that will

eventually carry over in
to my sleep where the
soundtrack seems to
never end or praise
be to god for this
elevator door to

never open

so that
the continu
ous muzak may
fill my head at every 
chosen not my choice
moment with these words

i but not

me write but possibly it
might be  did i hear a
tritone   i must go to
the cross road and
try to tune in to it
not forgetting

that this is a gift

Poetry Breathes You

911 affirmation: "remember to breathe"
Because to hold my breath is to keep myself from holding you
Poetry breathes you, the way I always miss how much I need you
The next door neighbor to my heart 
You can borrow as much sugar as you need
Because I have a sweet tooth for your lips
I need your kiss 
I could do without the freedoms of air 
This is the war for love so all is fair 
Under this weather where unpredictable is the norm
When I was born all the stars pointed to you

So I find myself having late night conversations with constellations because my dreams carry over into the day and my smile falls asleep as I pray, then wakes up to a new May, so may I please have this dance?

My heart is hop scotching to the lou 
Where did you go, I can't find you 

p.s. "Remember to breathe..."

University Girls

University girls 
You oath to be in school
Now you are catching fun 
At your boys friends quarters 
Having a good time 
Throwing parties all the time 
Life is good yes university girls
Are crazy 
Let the study wait 
The university girls slogan 
Is okay to carry over 
Sexuality is not forbidden in our universities
Not in this our prime time 
Nowadays the university is like a sex home 
So let set the roof on fire 
The university age is our time 
The time to blow off proportion
Out to the tin air for nothing


University girls
You promised mummy and daddy 
To be a good girl out there 
But now you are living in a wild world
Now you choose 
The kind of life daddy never wish 
Her daughter to be part of 
A wild world that mamma always
Forbid you from 
The world is yours yes
But how long can you go 
Is obvious by the time you realise
Your shorting coming
You already gone too deep to get out 
Of your addictions
And the world will never save you 
So fast in your dismay believe you me 
Remember life is short 
Out there life is tough and 
This gangbang university wildness
Throws you off your self worth
And makes you a scapegoat
Yet university life is sweet says the 
University girls 

Tribute to my African
University girls
Be safe out there 
Respect your parents care 
You are the future mother's of the world

Inaudible

Speak low 
Remain Unheard 
Still an option 
Sound horrible 
As Noise
Trickles 

Lies within its
Inaudible worth
I wont hear of it
What's said
Remains confident 
As confidential 
One word single word

Heard aloud
Expect quick
Uproared calamity 
Sloppy slightly 
Undermining 
This rooms
Crowd unprepared 

For three guns
Maximum 
Before chaos 
On tippy toes 
ing 
Dont start
An eruption 

These are not
Intellectuals
Made to be
There purpose 
Dull wittles
Idiots wrong
Place wrong 

Credentials 
Lutenants
At most 
Still though
The  sure
meaning ignorance 

Full cups laid around 
Unpredictable 
But also
ing quiet
Green boys
hard headed 
Think love 

Isnt confusion 
Understand 
As understood 
By young
Dull wittles 
Idiots
To carry over

Thoughts 
Immortal 
Make sure 
They get it tomorrow 
Walking animals 
Hunters shot
To crush
As livestock 
Before death

For told 
They die twice 
Before slude
So ing 
Whisper or
Best address 
Quietly take

Stock sliding 
the docket over
Your breath 
Stale beer
salmonella
Will end you
Quick like

These kids
Poor decision 
Being tossed 
A.slow death
Set by
weaker men
Broke agenda 

Slow Moment 
Just  this
People are
Born to die 
Going to die
Wait for
A tec is on its way

What is this
Where are we
Wrong brothel
Its 2025
I really should 
Try harder 
Out of this wall

Im a rodent 
Dying inside
A cement wall
Waiting for nothing 
is this a wall
Can I get out
From here realistically
