Artificial Iris
"Artificial Iris"
Orwell was lurking in the background, somewhere;
the dream was eerily familiar,
the words and their meanings, read in Syntax,
once read between pages of hardcopy in school
were aptly ignored -
however,
our Overlords were...

speaks a RightWing monocultural intention
currently championed by Trumpians
and Republican Aristocracy of Evangelism
Tea Partiers,
by xenophobic paranoids
and sociopathic pharisee fascists,
by economically blind
deaf
and angry
bigoted
terrified shouters;
just the opposite of dumb,

He Said, I Said
How the housefly gets attracted to organic decay
and an infant child traces the voice of its mother
are nothing compared to the intense attraction
Michelle and I possess on the guy owning not a strand of hair...

Treasuring the Educator
A former friend of mine
tricked me into becoming
something I am not
The volunteer President
of our condo association,
a position I clearly cannot afford
midst trifling disassociations.
We were starting our Autumn tradition
of arguing about next year's budget
which typically continues
until...

Candidates For Success
For those who agree that love is success
and hate is failure,
some admittedly unsolicited advice
from low-income and retired voter trenches:
1. Do not only run as AntiTrumpian.
Trumpianism means no more or less than
AntiPolycultural HealthyWealth

Stepping Outside To Regather
Easy to get stuck
inside my head
outside Earth's neglected
aching hearts
Breathing in and out togather
fumes of historically fueled
graphite sheeted walls
too all-encumbering to smell
as monoculture's indoor trauma
Failure to wonder
nuanced appositional
wandering outdoor non-positions,
dipolar bipartisanships
passing in transitioning...

Parallelismus Membrorum
A Prodigy In Pieces
A boy and board in Brooklyn
bedeviled by the breath of baroque battles
bemused with a belligerent brain beauty
and befriended by battlefield bravado,
the chessmen championed his ego
wickedly warring to a visionary's voodoo,
those soldiers of black and...

Dale, as your birthday fast approaches, just think!
You would be turning sixty-four!
Maybe by now, you’d even have retired
from a law practice I’m sure would have been successful.

And Everyone In Between
In theology,
and ecological healthy
and pathological relationships,
I know self-righteous fundamentalists
and nonviolent nondualists,
and most everyone else
processing together
win/lose
either/or
in-between
both/and.
Odd,
how such an abstraction
between fundamental uniformity
of sacred energy
and nondual co-arising unity
of divine-humane light,
can sever a healthy
sacred-secular
polynomial balance,
A harmonic resonance

Anathema
Dumbfounded in the raw,
nerves in neon.
Sin-New and bones quartered by time's animation-
Death re-imagined by the law of Thelema and Agenda 21.
Moments of truth corner you in alleys and avenues in the night.
As they are ritually...

When your idols are fragile
Is it any wonder kids lack style

In the shoes of the soldier we'd attain guile
Look at the newspaper
The government is a caper
And everything will taper

Do you know that you saved yours truly!

Nothing Left Within the Left
They once cheer-led the working class,
until they were useful no more,
now they call all of them ‘racist,’
to be hated and deplored.
Ignoring that it’s wholly sane
to fear losing a scarce job
to an illegal immigrant,
to be well...

Jack Kerouac
I used to write like
Jack Kerouac.
Words
crumbling down
paper.
Stark thoughts
marked
by dots
and dashes.
Flashes of schoolyard brilliance
The hill I would
climb over
to be
someone different.
I never saw life
through a dot.
LSD.
My father
was on mushrooms,
when he and my mother
created me.

The Fire Within: Tales of Lifelong Passion
In the depths of Van Gogh's starry night,
A passion burned, and a soul took flight.
Colours swirled in a cosmic dance,
His paintbrush, his fervent romance.
Michelangelo with marble white,
Carved life from stone, a glorious sight.
David emerged with...
