Long Deviants Poems

"The Call of the Grimoire" 


when Exalibur was retrieved 

from the rock, then foolishly 
and irretrievably lost 
in that dreadful battle most worthless

the imps encouraged 
the once good Poesie folk 
to jeer and throw pebbles

Our UU ecofeminist minister
was verbally accosted one Sunday morning
after celebrating multicultural peace
and respect 
and integrity
sufficient to restore private ego- and public eco-justice.

This was far too much to take in,
to peacefully and holistically rake in,
for a...

Standing at the edge of the canyon, 
its crest wreathed in swirling clouds of fog 
the tower looms on the plain, 
incongruous, like blood on a bridal gown.

Zedar has come to investigate. 
As Grand Sovereign...

Our Constitution, page-by-page, provides a guide from age-to-age.
As citizens our views consist of strict or loose constructionists.
Yet, we should keep - we can agree - a free, but just, society
Though Freedom isn't strictly free, we...

Every soul on the planet knows that people are senseless.
You'd think we'd wise up some over time.
Time and time again people focus on being devious.
Is the way they play their way of being real? People

Not that you asked,
or ever would feel free to inquire,
yet perhaps you grow ready to listen
to a voice inviting exit
from your,
and our,
long loneliness,
self-contempt,
isolation so shelled-over,
so embedded,
you are sure we are each and all
unredeemably alone

In our...

Where to go, when your heart is torn in two?
When the sky is dark and very far from blue...
When fear runs all nations totally blind.
By insane leaders, not right in their mind?
Mental illness is our...

I see a contradiction that
grows clearer with each passing day,
once I think we all one know,
once saw as just part of the game,
a dynamic state of tension
that we should hope is not resolved,
for that be...

No one wants to drink alone,
For sweet time is precious and unknown.

But here sits a disheartened fool
Slouched heavy on an unsteady bar stool,
Remembering how it was to smile
As he drinks to forget about life for...

just as the laughter of the “law”
shifting quietly behind the disguise of order
weeds out our “civilized” society
by choosing the “appropriate” garbage cans
in which to throw people
who have been deemed for one reason or another
to be...

Compelled by his native curiosity he makes his way 
slowly, stumbling frequently. The walls are cold 
and slimy to his touch. A rat skitters by his feet, 
and he is conscious of a low murmuring...

When conquerors came,
they took away only the best
The rest got left behind
This is the pattern of oppression,
the scourge of mankind
Repeated over and over again
throughout the annuals of time
People with skills always got carried away first,
replaced...

This is the rest of our lives
Yet they pin us down
Do it, they say
Be whatever, however
Be with whomever, however
Just to have a title
And not to be questioned
Because of these damned timelines

Don't rush us
We actually have...

based on logic or endless

Pontificating pin heads
laboriously tongue lashing
mandatory attendees
pundits, preachers
oligarchs of oratory
empowered by mad scientists
in twisted mind laboratory.
If everybody gets a bite
of a sandwich never ending
the masses will be sated
and we’ve controlled our spending
if everybody works for free
--that...
