Cup of Coffee

Every morning I cup my hands together
Not pointed up to heaven
But in the opposite direction of sincerity
Martha pours hot scalding coffee into them
Into the valley I created made of flesh and blood
I pray for our protection as the liquid flows
Trembling, it is too much for me to hold
Hands weren't meant for drinking from
Are not a proper receptacle for fluids
She screams holly hell when it falls
Calls me incompetent and lazy
A misuser of liquids and beverages, a fluid loser
The floor is no place to have your morning drink
A proper cup of coffee in a copper cup would do
I think


Authors note:  Please exercise extreme caution when ever handling hot beverages.  Example: hot coffee.  Never use your hands.  Utilize a receptacle designed for such product consumption. Use a condom or 2 if you desire but it is not suggested for simply drinking coffee.


A State of Majors and Algebra

A State Of Majors and Algebra

From a bridge I lift eyes weary from equation forms
Majors and Algebra instruct 
From on high the state loves us
Instinctively feed us what we must know 
Keep us in place for hours 
Guns on every head…to get ahead
Conclusions always drawn on time
Lines of math carried like conversations to their ends
Fractions fix themselves in front of us
Captured by majors on their heels
Algebra comes undone
Undressed for our consumption
Work, like dreams, goes on forever
Tonight it waits for majors and algebra to merge
Ranks remove me to seclusion
Books fall with rain into retreat
Lives are bulletins with holes
When government controls
Shocked to life with streams of data
Or shot to death in line with reason
Options can be unkind
No one inspects the dark
Perhaps it is not there
No one suspects me
In this my figures lie in wait
To see what moves prove
A state of majors and algebra
Or my escape

Turnips

What is hungry that
These turnips
Shall be fattened
With bacon. This
Spoke the troll
he gathered turnips
from Onsager s  garden.
Breadcrumbs shall
atop this au gratin
With bacon , pumpkin
from Onsager s mystery
Garden He was angry
because Ole Onsager
Put fatback in front
Of the bacon hiding it
from the Scrooges and
Mizzers. But me Jack
the Troll but mi hand
beneath all that fatback
and found this treasure trove
Alas might conage , mild peppers
and rasains with grated cheeses
and meringue make souflee 
And with
 sugarcured bacon; be
delicious with the greens, I saw!

Turnip greens atop the bulbs
Of earthy goodness. 
I remember the from the book
Of Sages, the words of
Meade's and Meanest.
The greens of this frost bit
Place is the garden of the
Mizzers. Only the leaves of
Tender fresh turnips are for
Consumption . My cassorolle
Shall aroma of garlic, onions
and carrots.the crumbled bacon
Shall nearest thee.. the cream and
Roux shall mix with the broth
And these turnips and pumpkins
Shall be loved and adorned.
Not to be looked over by the
Mizzers and Scrooges..

Premium Member Downtown

Buzz of human feet,
Crowds swarming the trains;
Sea of faces meet,
Private matters strain.


Downtown trip we take,
Darling and I plow;
Human nature stakes,
Umpteen whys and hows.


We reach City Hall,
Find our way around;
Tour the festive mall,
Bright shoppes anchor grounds.


Caterpillar queues,
Await to transact;
Bored faces review,
Weary wait feeds tact.


The Christmas sale steers,
We jostle for stuff;
Bargains that endear,
Buy more than enough.


Busy feet aspire,
The shopping spree floods;
New wares tempt desires,
Whet the pulse of blood.


We discern our needs,
Separate our wants;
Let discrete thoughts feed,
Get brisk shopping done.


Here we wait in line,
Curious eyes pursue;
Attention defines,
Pry odd avenues.


We pay to exit,
Seek out attractions;
Find meal time retreat,
Wholesome consumption.


Homebound subway train,
Swift and fast and sure;
Feel stamina drain,
Goodie bags secure.


Our downtown tour spells,
Whim and fancy grooms;
Easy moments tell,
Intent fills sure boom.

Premium Member The Well-Spiced Rum Turkey Is Now Ready

Another huge turkey was caught
The big pheasant was housed in the vault
For consumption
Not for admiration
I'm neither talking about the wild turkey
Who’s running for President
Nor the one which is a country
Now embroiled
And roiled in turmoil
I am talking about the noisy pheasant
That we all like to fest on the last Thursday
Of November every year, and on New Year’s Day.

I can’t wait to enjoy its thighs and wings
I can’t wait afterwards to make the swings
Squeak and cry, because we all weigh more
Than before: the skinny, the rich and the poor.
Happy Thanksgiving Day everybody
The President already pardoned a gorgeous turkey.

Pink Slime

Pink Slime, Pesticides
And chicken thighs bigger than my thighs

And we wonder why there is an increase
in learning disabilities among children today 
I say it’s because the process, that the food is processed and grown and raised, is
compromised by demand, money, greed or fame. 
I do understand that demand is high 
so we have to do somethin’

So to compete, we inject hormones into the very animal or plant that is sold for consumption
So now we eat these hormones and our bodies are stressed because of the added pesticides and  herbicides and other sh#! that’s hard to digest  

I mean what’s really the cause?
There’s more kids with disabilities today than there ever was  
I say it’s because like the story is told in the verses, that knowledge is increasing in man and the result is not what He purposed. 

Pink Slime and Pesticides..We’re eating stuff that’s been chemically grown inside…and chickens bigger than my thighs

Premium Member Sorcery

Enchanted by your wistfully inked charm
I disrobe and unchain my melancholy heart

At last I am prepared to love and love
Your sourcery has cracked my code for a new start

Where darkness lay light is born my sweet soul
The fires you have been cleansed by are pure

I am here awaiting your willful consumption
Flesh ,blood,bone all of me I promise to endure

Centuries have led to this awakening
Books have foretold of unforeseen force of love

History has foretold of poems and stories propel lovers
To bed to death together and floating ethereal above

Come to me my soul this is our time
To wait too long I fear a great loss

Unchained I await your every hunger
Pestilence and sourcery are worth the cost.

Premium Member Lifes Optimal Synergy

Yes, it's all about love,
and a highly proactive form of peace,
about both what's fair,
and what's also kind,
both long-term,
and right now.
It's all about vocation,
and paying the bills,
and enjoying life as production
as well as healthy nutritional consumption.
Most certainly all of those things.

But, organic farmers and permaculture designers,
master gardeners and cooperative developers,
ministers and healers and therapists of all types,
from physical through mental through systemic information network designers,
might use some different language
to define this love and active peace with justice, fairness, kindness,
well-being optimization.

A metasystemically therapeutic,
synergizing,
energizing,
dialectically emergent therapy
enriching,
nutritionally optimizing individual,
couple,
family,
and/or EarthTribe,
grows economic mutually mentoring redeemers,
human natural ecologist cooperatives;
a perma/polycultural balancing
harmonic Beloved Community.

Oh My Brazil So Mainly Weird

São Paulo is a

long street that

crosses Brazil

with its "trade"

infernal...

Rio is a stage

lit where

the popcorn maker of

corner, it's handle

of samba and the madam

from Barra, she owns

of gafieira in Lapa...

Belo is a farm

modern...but its

horses are mechanics...

There you breathe the air of

in the ancient days...

The Northeast that was once

fiction plays functions, left

to be illusion and mirage

to be a consumption pole...

The north, still lies down

asleep in wonder

of the green... as planes

traffic their saps...and the

Uncle Sam still eludes

the natives...

From the Central Plateau,

or from the green heart

from the homeland will arise a

resounding cry that

will dislodge the Court

castled...

So the South that still

thinks it is Cisplatin

or argentine gaucho

will untie the triple alliance

and it will be truly believed

Brazilian...!

Oh my Brazil...manly...!

Premium Member Hay Fields

Hay Fields

Harvest of ripened fodder yields
In rolls of hay littering the fields.
Golden, dried under the sun,
For livestock winter consumption;

Who still graze in rich fall pastures,
Unaware of summer’s departure,
Fattening on earth’s green grasses,
Basking in the warmth of contentment.

Crops of vegetables: corn and potatoes;
Grains of barley, oats, flax, wheat, and canola.
Combines reaping, threshing, and winnowing
With other machinery, then tilling of the soil.

Where the farmer stands proudly gazing
Upon the harvest yield of their labour.
The fallow land, soon to be covered in snow
Awaits spring planting and growth revival.
