Don'T Tell Me Why We'Re Waiting
My favorite radio show
is Wait...Wait, Don't Tell Me!
on NPR near you.
But, it has bothered me,
over the years,
a snagging voice in sign-off background,
threatening the host will see me again next week,
as if that was the answer...

The Last Night of October
The last Night of October
It's that time, again, the last night of October,
the last glow of twilight nearly gone.

winding through the streets and alleys.

Raining Down Commotions
Raining down emotions,
darkly enlightening

of ecosystemic becoming healthy roots
Fertile draining images,
sensory neural outlooks,
feeling verbal projection projects,
raining rejections,
reigning alpha injections
Conjectures of codependent
health/wealth interrelationships
Intersectional...

The Cave Never Taught Me
The Choctaw
never taught me what the
Choctaw would’ve taught me.
The Australopithecine never taught me what
the Australopithecine would’ve taught me of.
The Memories, these Memories,
our Memories are fading songs in
an echoeless cave.
The listeners have tired,
moved on.
The choir sang,...

I Experience Inappetence Yet Nevertheless Hunger For Victuals
I experience inappetence, yet nevertheless hunger for victuals
Mine corporeal complex edifice
unleashes convulsions of anxiety.
Lack of appetite
to savor even smallest bite
unlike Pavlov's dog,
I neither salivate nor excite
at prospect (parking) body
against table not low but fahrenheit

And Then There Was You
I was grasped by the soulless of the dark. Forever pitted and plagued by the weight of the world.

Blood Words, Legends of the Wolves
Yea, victors jest. They out-sped the cast of hunger’s cave.
Their cantors, ragged kept, did reach an faithful end.

Every shogun nation wanna be

Insatiable Soul
INSATIABLE SOUL
I couldn’t get enough of what?
Honestly I really do not know
Yet my soul yearns…
My soul hungers…
My soul thirst…
But for what in particular?
Honestly I really do not know.
This yearning…
Coiled deeply from my belly
Causing my throat...
