Long Confusingly Poems

A Taoist's View of Bill Plotkin's

Wounded Taoist Anawim?

I don't think we want to go 
grieving back there,
Those early teenage years
of viral WinLose hurts
and...

Isolated while in wonder,
I lacked motivation.
Consequently, I preferred to be someplace different.
I perceived myself wandering near the banks,
Concerning one Tiber River in Rome.
"What is behind me,
Is not in front of me!"
Snickering,...

Crisp brown,
Delicate in softness,
Rare, brown-skinned feminine being,
A Goddess you are.
The dust from which your highness was molded from must have been kissed by the sun.
Vividly shedding light on the unexplainable uncanny of those deep, hazel,...

The silence stream cascades in the alien alley,
sonata of stillness resonates in the concrete,
dances with the music of the barrel organ,
his weathered calloused fingers produce.

The nostalgic notes play a melancholic melody,
echo the tune of the...

What, I wondered, would advanced age be like.
Sighting the elderly set my mind to rousing.
Becoming like them overtook me with fright.

It cloaks me, when I'm sad,
It keeps me from going Insane...

This mass of Darkness, lures me,
Takes me on a journey, without light...
It frees me from all the Madness,
And...

You'd ask yourself whether this is real
Are you ready to seal this deal? 

But you've walked away

With this never ending joyful cherry
Transcend, higher than all possibilities
Embrace happiness under your magical wiry,

Ignite hearts that once were achy
Reach with your colorful threads, the worry
Let the butterflies...

alderman curry
collected closet doorknobs
lived reclusively with poco,
his faithful afghan

one clear evening,
he told poco to stay 
and that he loved him

poco's senses caused him 
to whine confusingly

alderman curry went into
the woods, took a rope hidden
in a...
