Long Cylinders Poems

"Soft," New, Parade, just begun, ...

cars and beasts ...

roll down the crowd-filled Street.

All the engines "hum."

All the cylinders "run."

Eyes open wide.

Hearts sink.


Under a rising Tropical sun,

the nearby ocean lies gleaming,

washing across the horizon.

Strange, ... glory...

We view the planet Mars
Explosions aplenty
Leaving planetary scars

The very next morning
Cylinders are found
Metallic and shiny
Making a humming sound

An unscrewing grind
These cylinders emit
As...

Their numbers drawn, the backwards lottery
Almost none were aware they were playing

Assaulted by the poisons that save them 
Hairless children with steroid-swollen cheeks
Feared stigmata of chemotherapy
Daily valiance, heroism unsought

Magic bullets are a relative thing
Modern wonder...

I have no crystal ball

Very little perspective at all, 

About what the future holds

I root myself in the present

But if you asked me for my thoughts, 

I will explain what I think

It could surely be...

Do the immortals cry, what happens to divinities
Tears, crystal shards of frozen miracles, cascading
From the heavens above, swallowed whole by 
Mother earth.
In the abyss of darkness, within caverns dark and deep,
Lies a hidden chamber, of...

It never brought me fame or fortune;
But still I’m content with the path I chose.
I never rose to high positions or seats of power;
But I’m happy to have influenced the lives of others.

Tyranny from heaven


I believed and voted them
Found they were friends
At that time in my door
they were persons from heaven

Event got change 
They rode up and up
Flagging top crest of position

Now I am in their doors

On strange days
like these
baking cookies
is an arcane art.
 For it is winter outside
how we transform
the inside
into mystic summer.

For i know the golden ratio.
i have surrounded
myself with graduated cylinders
that recall the lore
of  cups and ounces.

Eco-Friendly Vehicles
By Rick Rucker

As an infant, when I went outside,
In a stroller, with circular wheels, I would ride,

As I became restive, and wanted to roam,
My parents bought me a trike, so I could leave home,

Seated in a cell of this prison world
I watched the night sky
Through a window,
A tiny one
Sealed tight by metal bars
Seeming to tell me
That mightier they surely are
Mightier than me
Mightier than everything else!

The night sky is...
