Long Cordless Poems

The blue sky with its bright light is moving over my head and the
wind is dancing in the poppy bed, the deers are scampering on the
shores and here you are holding up the process and...

In what ways have nutritional 
and health
and financial
and well-being values increased 
over past time,
whether a season,
or a year,
or a decade,
or a lifetime,
or a millennium,
and in what ways have toxic dissonant disvalues
and decaying trends ebbed and...

Sometimes I still use a cordless house phone. 
When I call her I imagine her wrapping an invisible cord around her finger 
as if she were only walking slowly the opposite direction as the cord...

Early morning, slightly subdued, a drawn out yawn reflecting my mood, 

slope to the kettle, body distorted by its metallic curves, amuse myself for a 
while, infusing with herbs, 

while my head changes shapes, prepare...

I made a covenant with my eyes,
Never to look lustfully at the thighs,
Not to look suggestively at a lady,
Not to admire her pulchritudinous body,
What has happened now..,
I find myself sinning in a row,
Am selling my...

Technology's 
necessity, without it 
we would die, it's 
fascinating really 
how computers run 
our lives,

the tapping of the 
keyboard and the 
clicking of the 
mouse, it's gotten 
so that folks don't 
even have to leave...

SILENT TEARS

"Sometimes I wonder
Why you can't hear me
If you'd only listen
But maybe you fear me
You say I'm trippin
I feel like a Christian 
Trying to prove my love
But like jesus, you missing

On this journey I feel...

Liberated Part 1 of 2


Liberated after years of incarceration, body and mind vacation,
 
somewhere tropical, just shy of the equator, feel unstoppable as pen and paper, 

intimately dance, a tickertape parade on hot sands, 


raining...

Cordless, you are on the other side
Our minds made of armour, thoughts safely hidden inside
My key combination has been deactivated, I need to access you
Communicating like lost ships, I see the flashing light in you

Let's...

I had occasion to move this day 
from the house I love for which I pay
to the Shambles Motel I now called home 
on Third near State between Fourth and Roam

SOCKS 'N' JOCKS

Fathers can be a neglected lot
When it comes to Father's Day,
Mothers are treated differently
In a more delightful way.

Fathers are often forgotten,
Or lucky to get socks 'n' jocks.
Mothers get bunches of flowers
And more than...

Uninformed Guest

I heard a knock on my door
Rushed out to see my uninformed guest
But saw the glistening  shadows of my potted palms 
Pansies and colourful gerberas wafting in the wind

About to shut the door...

Dedicated to the best poet of us all.


I dive into you
The mud-coloured heaven
Fragments embracing with age
A dull rock and hammer shadow

Your small mouth
Free and feline with words carrying
The strength of the cartillage they cling
to. Ochre...

Vagabonds – the lost Avatars


Virtual Vagabonds, avatars
lost amid the teeming Ethernet,
signal searchers illuminated
in the blue light of emptiness

Hobos of a cordless conga line
falling in and out of “bars”
fevered followers worshiping
at the altars of the asinine

Homeless...

First, remove the eyelids—
they hold too much fiberglass.
Grind streetlight into gunpowder,
cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk.
Take the sidewalk like heretic communion,
metal-flake wine, asphalt host.

She blinks razors.
Stars break in her clavicle.
You don’t touch her—you calibrate.
