Long Deface Poems

And after had passed the two enraged by
On which I had before pointed my sight,
I turned to others evil-born my eye.

I saw one, who the form of lute have might,
If he the groin in full...

Have I failed you as a man?
Our only communication was what washed up on shore

Than do it, because to honest question
Must follow action, with no word between”.

Where following it is reached the eighth bank,
Then I...

More than 300,000 spirits awakened, and rose up that day,
Above the pristine manicured and landscaped grounds.
They ascended high enough to overlook the shameful acts
Being perpetrated on the Capital’s historic mounds.

Lying lost somewhere in the endlessly cruel lining of my knockoff purse
Into which pens just disappear through some hole into a mystery...

Enough Angelina, drop the bouquet of harebells.  
The flowers wilt as your graying hands stiffen. See, how grave

The world spins
Making its way around the sun again
Millions of years in rotation
It knows not 
What happens on its surface
It just continues its task
And fulfills its purpose 
Mindless to the tragedies 
And suffering 
That is...

I can feel my 40 year old mind awake from slumber;
But these brown eyes stare back at me with a defiance 
That I know to have belonged to  a 14 year old me.
Consider this...

A mob of angry activists
go and deface a public street,
they painted that ‘Black Lives Matter,’
and the mayor said,”That’s fine with me.’
But when someone spoke of baby lives
they would not let them have their say,
when some...

I had 800 hits on my site just last Friday
But twenty-nine poems reported as read!

"Ark"



books have eyes here 
they sense things 
through the turning of leaves

strange chapters
they listen to small sounds
loud lives lived quietly

they are grounded cells
measured by rings 
in untouchable ancient territories

somewhere else,
Amazonia 
sheds tears

she cries 
for her...

INTELLECTUAL DESPERADO

Dear desperado,
Knowledge awaits you tomorrow,
If you painstakingly throw 
And expedite yourself like an arrow.
Though your foresight looks narrow,

Don't leave your mind incommunicado 
Or famished cos at seashore is where ships row.
Ignorance makes devious innuendo,
rising in...

Thy contrarian ways leave me breathless,

Let’s deface it—my reality isn’t the same—
Your world is an illusion—similarities set invisible base-lined boundaries.
We share this similarity
Just not the exact same
Ironic Zinc relates this (many things) to childlike innocence…
Why…?
Perhaps this is a direct result...

We knaves had orders both explicit and dumb:
Scare the blazes out of a management bum.
Thunderstorm weather rocked wide Prince William Sound,
Feisty gales pouring rain all around.
