Break my neck; snap it in two, snap it in half
don't give me that incredulous, frightened look as I ask
don't hesitate in front of me, please just do me this favor
so I gain a halo,...

"Years” and “Distance”, phantoms of the dark that do their evil
in the quietude of the everyday, coming and going without so
much as a footprint or a whisper, and taking the most valuable
possessions of the heart,...

"An X-Mess Carol"

Somewhere standing barefoot
in the sand, she thought with guilty pleasure
“This is the KORO SEA!” and
conjured up a multitude of story scenarios
Buccaneers, Pirates Parlay, Treasure Maps, 
Davy Jones Locker, Jack Sparrow, Ho’es
you know, those...

If God was the singularity
all the energy of the universe
wrapped up in a self compressed ball, 
not even gravity can escape

According to the big bang theory
the singularity explodes out into the universe
being so compressed with...

The earth is magnanimous to providing accommodation to all inhabitants
The stars in the cloudy sky are in appreciation
as they move about its very spacious aerial apartment
The trees show their gratitude
as they wave their effects of...

...But there exists a much broader hate,
half the species, you see, do not rate.
I’m talking, of course, about the men,
how we’re seen as less next to women,
that our basic masculinity
is portrayed as criminality,
save for working...

I was born unto a woman and a man, and a government,
this was the Trinity, these were my employers,
entrance into this magical melee was acknowledged with a certificate of birth,
and with nefarious numbers, debt digits,

I will live in poverty again
I will eat less
Warm my home at 55 degrees
I will walk in thrift and dream in commonality again
I will tread gently
Walk faster
Work harder
I will face my tide of want with...

Sometimes “Goodbye”
Isn’t good at all.
Sometimes “Goodbye”
Is a relief with a sigh!

I feel no pain, no pain at all
The door doth close.
My space now in harmony
with my internal void.

My home and heart

But ever...

Despite the climate challenge with traffic congestion on the road,
there’s still a driving urge to go out and celebrate the Eucharist;

Resurrection

Rise above the swirling waters dark recess.
Rise from deep within the water’s pounding press.
Slowly rise above the centered womb
While tossed by storms
And spun by icy currents;
Break through the surface tension
Inch slowly, with measured rhythm
Through black,...

We are the children of time 
That big round clock 
Arms like arrows 
Not a minute to be wasted 
In this precious cycle 
Of ambition 
We succeed 
While hearts bleed
Yet we go on and on....

Well I don't want to even think about the world today
I'd rather take a little break and make a way to play

the altogether 
absolute & essential
commonality of death--- 
that beautiful final silence
with nothing else to worry about 
with nothing but a complete end 
to all suffering & all anxiety---
an eternal exhalation of all bad feelings---

The Afrikan Diaspora

Includes all of humanity

One great big extended family

Sharing a single commonality

To form one global community

Though throughout our collective history

There has been atrocity after atrocity

Committed with hubris and hypocrisy

Sometimes in the name of democracy

Or...

I me 2 

Am fiercely competitive as well

Suppose that is not so much a new

But commonality thread

That bonds us together

Surely makes us in fact human 

Like string flaccidly detached from
an ailing kite

Floating slowly ebbing away...

March is a time of transition
winter and spring commence their struggle
between moments of ice and mud
a robin appears heralding the inevitable
life stumbling from its slumber
it was in such a period of change in 1905
that the...

indeed, a great need that our...

sidewalk and street talk wail from paper. 
Tears vividly seen because cursive one's don't wipe away.
