At altamira cave
For centuries,snowfall after snowfall,
Outside, in what would be Spain
They painted their walls and left their mark
Calling down the magic of image
To control the beasts whose flesh and bone and hide
Made possible their desperate...

So as we claim some other fates decree
and rewritten history executes us by delete 
what call has come to the life within us
what have we left incomplete

The world turns from love
as it tramples over peace

They channelized the news
the quick zapped flash of fact undeniably
taking the opportunity by storm
by the contortions of varsity
they proclaimed so devoutly
the new acceptable norm
of an already butchered normality

And who with applause
with the legalized blurb
of an...

We sit in our idle houses
plugged-in to the world wide web 
of digital madness and make-believe. 

We text tweet posts from on far and shadow fight in elections streams but hide our eyes in the...

OF THE NEW FLESH

A returned to open channels 
Open to the unknown the beyond 
Burning humming like angry hornets
Bottled in electric light and shadows

Humming in the open channel

In the museums we shudder
With vicarious delight
At the spectacle of the Aztecs -
A high culture founded on human sacrifice,
All the while not seeing -

little stars winking off N on 
each a light a sudden rush 
of memory
Each hit me hard 
as tears trace the inner scars 
memories of a time long

At the museums, we shudder
In vicarious delight
At the spectacle of the Aztecs:
A high culture founded on human sacrifice.

Modern Times

Universal truths or Universal Studios?
Can one distinguish any longer now
That the Universe has shrunk to a
Binary system of code,
Arcane enough to keep most believing
In a higher power, that is

Brown-out causes
Questioning 
	albeit fleeting like light,...

The past dreaming 
of the future 
Burnt out at last
Light pulsing into the cathode ray tubes 
the wires of difference machines 
process seconds, data, imagery 
From diseased 
To hidden desire that fire electric nights
Shallow dreams...

Haunted by its simplistically,
All the masses work for nothing, 
Power drones I watch the meek alone.
Bare white the afterglow.

Power of blackened glass reaching for the zenith.

Our World as seniors

My world has become one of the impossible,
where the impossible may become possible.

My world has become one of fantasy,
fantasies that becomes ones reality.

Reality where ones limited imagination,
combined with visions, artistry and talent

Deep in coiled chambered hearts 
mortal designs conspire 
in arcane chamber hearts
pump isometric drugs 
the cathode ray desires
as electric images expire 
what are the strange 
things that toil in the Dark 
idle thoughts and brittle...

Us meeting it was by chance - a happenstance
a crowded place, me sitting absorbed in the cathode ray blue of my phone
you sit a close distance away
"you like that show?... It's my favorite"
never again thought...
