Buying the Farm
Have you chosen what you will become,
my son,
or will you become something yet unchosen?
Become?
How will you keep yourself gainfully occupied,
dare I speak of vocation?
Oh yes,
I will be absent.
Absent from…?
From you.
Absent from you.
My wisest son,
thank you...

Moscow III
And all the world would change forevermore,
for solitude’s content has come undone.
Its island bliss could harbor it no more
as destiny unleased the rising Sun.
The sleeping giant woke to see its rays
unfurl their wrath...

As I sit and watch
Watch you denounce the obligatory violence

You buried not them but the...

By invitation from a trusted friend,
a medium intervention took place and I went.
The building set in the thick forest by a shimmering lake,
some broken sheds looking sad and strange to take.

Great Commissions--Small Omissions
In all things, give thanks.
Surrounded,
overwhelmed by claustrophobic depression,
gratitude.
Gratitude, a sacred noun,
positive attitude, a secular verb phase.
Depression and gratitude,
depressed gratitude,
mystical oxymoron.
Impossibly essential
potential.
Repression and victory.
Hope in and through blind and deaf,
senseless faith in power of positions
over doubling...

Rich yarns finely whipped by the Armageddon;
Each touch turned colder, from philosophy of ashes to ashes;
Each an ongoing curse, of every memory of Attila the...

The Power of Love
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which can lay us low or then
Raise our standards so high

But in affairs of the heart
There can be a flood so...

Committees, Boards, Panels and Such
Perhaps the most inane entities contrived by the human race,
(Leaving folks wondering why they must meet in the first place),
Are the interminable meetings of committee, panel and board,
Convening for hours leaving participants bleary-eyed and bored!

Revolutionary Greenpeace
Most of life plays out somewhere
somehow

in-between resplendent deification of MotherEarth

Is a peculiarly Republican challenge,
confusing unchanging

divinely dogmatically inspired

As if such Tradition were against

Comparisons

They don't always do what they say they will do.

Of commissions, omissions that some will deem filthy.
Nefarious crimes, using darkness for...

Sipping Tea at a Brothel
He pays.
He leaves.
And she bleeds quietly.
Some come for release,
others for control.
Some come to forget.
Some to remember.
Some to be punished.
Some just come because it’s cheap.
It's sin.
It’s not sin.
It’s survival.
It’s escape.
It’s addiction.
It’s barter.
It's bargain.
It's need.
It’s ritual.
Here, bodies...
