Ah Tis Nothing Greater Than

Ah... tis nothing greater than...
malfunctioning heater on brisk winter day!

Thee particular date being
December twenty eighth,
two thousand nineteen, I saith
the Jack of all trades
maintenance technician

Kevin Blank said he would notify
HVAC expert in good faith,
yet to compliment clangorous din...
I called upon the ghost of Marley's wraith.

Thus despite compressor issuing
cacophonous, deafening,
ear splitting noise
clattering din louder
than convention of reindeer - 
doubled as all boys

(choir) followed by cavalcade
of santa claus, he employs,
the missus of course with equipoise,
and countless elves pressed
for service mending
broken brand new toys.

Why... yes twas during
recent brutal bitter cold spell
methought, yours truly got sent,
where absolute zero temperature
more frigid than hell

of course, I felt like human popsicle
management didn't give a lick,
no matter yours truly gave rebel yell
Billy me you, I immediately
yearned (some weeks back) for April
May, June... some tell
tale sign to alleviate pell mell

bone crushing polar vortex
preserved frozen awful
botox smile impossible mission to quell,
nor avoid frostbite 
to deep freeze every cell
millenniums later despite
climate changed dystopian future
thawed out body reason to kvell.

Forsooth mindlessly jabbering away
jaw frenziedly attempting to convey
how this schlemiel,
would be war re: not game to foray
toward distant forbidding terrain
fifty shades of gray,
alien unrecognizable – nay

boor hood of the late Mister Rogers,
nonetheless expressed gratitude
confessed, I unconsciously did pray
while suspended animation did stay

slowing or stopping
of biological function
physiological capabilities
unpitted and preserved - yea.

Hence upon being
and getting woke
feeling like I slept forever
and a day - no joke
most certainly well rested

constitution I did evoke
intensely scrutinizing men
chilled wren, and women folk,
who appeared out of this world
mutated into Roanoke
smooth as glass skin cloak

against ultraviolet rays
causing skin cancer
their attenuated limbs strong as oak
versatile to prod and poke,
whereby superior petsmart
doggone noggin could invoke

telepathic communication
interestingly enough issuing smoke
signals, whenever danger present
and capable to disappear
as if doing breast stroke.


Premium Member Musings of Love

“You try to be faithful
And sometimes you're cruel.
You are mine. Then, you leave.
Without you, I can't cope."
Rumi


in the kingdom of love,
nothing is simple,
not even musings,
so tell me:
in your annoyance
do you still think of me
or am i just another
common cliché 

in Rumi's philosophies 
for cosmic connections,
must we be a 
contradiction of circumstance 
when our story has been sung
beyond the reach of stars,
so despite the dystopian demons,
i keep hope in the invisible
golden harp strings,
yet to compose our swansong

oh mistress of medusa
in splitting seasons,
when serpents spit venom,
your British horizon soul,
coupled with your 
climate change heart,
procreate porcelain patience,
where rhythms of rage
lead to breathless silence,
but i never forget you

it can be tiresome
battling against 
ebony lashes from
metaphorical daggers
when vertigo eyes
hunt for their prey
and i wonder if i
was at shooting distance
would you pull the
trigger to rip my
heart like shredding
secretive documents

but despite bonfire breaths,
my samurai spirit has 
become immune to
momentary flames,
adopting a mermaid mind,
finding sanctuary in
deep waters until
the last ember dies,
as at the end of each storm,
when rainbows reappear,
i resurface upon your
ivory shores,
for what am i,
but a sea urchin and
you the empress of the sea,
so each time you are cruel,
i wait for the return of
tender gestures,
as i know it is your 
veil of vulnerability

you hide from the world,
but in the intricacies of conflict,
i am still the moonlight
glowing upon your ripples,
as i know the code to
your handcrafted heart,
floating in wandering waves,
as you still ignite intimate spiritual
sparks of soothing sensuality,
so never abandon me - forever

in the imperfections of love,
in my abundance of flaws
i know you adore me
internally and externally,
for we are refuge and 
safe haven for the broken,
like a masterpiece of
alliterative adjectives
glowing like gems
in topaz textures upon
mookaite mosaics 

I know I'm no 
Leonardo Di Caprio,
I've never been as 
romantic as Romeo,
so love me for 
what I am today,
I am not your past
of wasted sunsets,
so ascend with me like
tomorrow's sunrise

Acquiescence Toward Mortality

Management here at
Highland Manor Apartments sent out word
that tomorrow, January twenty third,
two thousand and twenty one,
we (all residents) will receive the first (of two)
inoculations to stave off getting COVID-19,
hence mine poetic title might seem absurd.

Aforementioned stance toward death
obviously antithetical
regarding desire to stay alive
and most oppressive
when mine mental, physical
and/or spiritual yours truly
takes a (swan) dive
analogous where bajillion bees
swarm from their hive.

Linkedin with well known poem by and by
penned by Emily Dickinson, I didst decry
expressed her relief to die
"Because I could not stop for Death,"
she aptly crafted verses to comply
reverently, merrily, and gloriously accepting
cessation of existence well nigh
as does one garden variety generic goofy guy.

All natural catastrophes aside,
plus excluding thermonuclear war,
where civilization would get fried
nullifying idea viz,
let conscience be your guide,
nor no place to run and hide
left to grapple with dystopian quandary

shuttering fright housed inside
in one poof annihilating prejudice
(white privilege included) and pride
reducing to ashes trumpeting
self importance, where snide
persona grata becomes irrelevant
as does living social
or vacationing in Telluride.

Interestingly enough,
I do not entertain notions
inflicting self harm nor suicide,
but expect longevity (to ride
one after another orbitz around the sun)

maximum total (represented courtesy
value units and tens place)
at minimum exceeds double digits
in plain English aged
to perfection groom and bride
attains at least ninety nine years.

Despite skittering within hair's breadth or blink
looming over the edge no time to think,
cuz no matter being knight in shining armor
I can scrunch and squint thru visored chink,
and espy and the title
of a storied book by Tom Wolfe I think
Old Rotten Gotham sliding into behavioral sink,
amidst so much flotsam and jetsam

while singing Skidamarink
surrender unavoidable fate
cuz destiny dis rapper doth not shrink
and recognizes that whatever does not kill
will only make me stronger
(money back guarantee)
I attain a spry five score birthdays
and while away hours
playing solitary game of tiddlywink.

Abhorrent Vehement Strife Hijacking *****Sapiens

Antiestablishmentarian inherent malevolent violence
wracks human species, a most brutish and nasty beast.

An embittered nihilistic teenager
grown haggard and old,
hence not surprisingly yours truly
crafts pseudo dystopian reasonable rhyme.

An evangelized atheistic adherent,
I aver evolutionary theory
posits prelapsarian Eden
of astonishing plentitude
gone to hell in a handbasket.

Ever since human species stood erect
exhibiting prehensile appendages did allow
cupped fingers upon brow,
whereat vista unveiled to succor chow.

Dawn of consciousness begat
superstitious vagaries daunting
present day Democrat
and/or Republican to issue fiat
denouncing extremist militant uprising
raging across Capitol Hill habitat.

2021 presidential inauguration
today January twentieth
(broadcast right now)
augurs horrific repeat January sixth,
when bedlam and mayhem
rocked Washington District of Columbia,
where hoodlums ran amuck lionizing violence.

Lawlessness bled constitution white
marauding bands of hooligans
bombarded, desecrated, fueled,
harmed, jackknifed, leveled, nailed,
pummeled, rioted, terrorized, vandalized...
with glee and spite
yielded windfall regarding

headline grabbing newsnight
motley film crews recorded
gangsters scaling storied height
(cue spiderman/woman)
think rescuers quick
as greased lightning they did alight.

If only real and/or
fictional life action heroes/heroines
came to the rescue
to avenge forces of evil,
where virtue dispensed,
and trumpeted courtesy better angels.

Meanwhile indefatigable defenders
of human rights
dole out just desserts
upon the heads
of self styled lawless brigands
militaristic thugs hell bent
to wreak havoc
upon cradle of liberty
including complex edifices
linkedin and embody

blood, sweat and tears
of freedom fighters
arrayed against merciless
demonic forces upending
foundation upholding enshrined
nearly divinely inspired principles
quantum leaps since
early man/woman trod
across terrestrial firmament.

I experienced exhilaration
upon witnessing confirmation
genuflection, liberation, restitution
espoused by Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
forty sixth president of United States.

Premium Member The Battle of the Minds For the Sole Possession of All Souls

THE BATTLE OF THE MINDS FOR THE
SOLE POSSESSION OF ALL SOULS

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MENTAL WELLNESS AND
MENTAL ILLNESS , IS
UNDERSTANDING AND
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT A 
MENTALLY ILL LEADER TO LEAD YOU ?
THE SAME REASON YOU WOULDN'T WANT AN INCOMPETENT LEADER TO LEAD YOU.

WHY WOULD YOU PUT YOUR LIFE
IN THE HANDS OF INCOMPETENT
AND MENTALLY ILL INDIVIDUALS
WHO DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN ,
RIGHT AND WRONG ,
ROBOTS AND HUMAN BEINGS.

SOCIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR OBSERVERS
RECOGNIZE THE PHRASE
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM , 
BEAT THEM UP. 
KILL THEM IF NECESSARY.
SECRETS MUST REMAIN SECRET.

THE GENERAL PUBLIC ARE ALLOWED
SUCCESS BUT ONLY  TO A DEGREE. 
THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO LEARN THE TRUTH. 
AGAIN ONLY TO A DEGREE.

ONCE THE ORDINARY BEINGS RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND ELEVATED CONSCIOUSNESS
AND INTUITION , POLICY MAKERS ,
SOCIOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR
OBSERVERS AND GROUPS
AND THE THOUSANDS OF
THINK TANKS AROUND THE WORLD
WILL TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT THEIR
SELF APPOINTED AUTHORITY TO
CONTROL THE LIVES OF THOSE 
THEY BELIEVE TO BE UNINTELLIGIBLE.

THE COMMON OR AVERAGE BEING 
OR PERSON WHO IS CAPABLE OF ELEVATING CONSCIOUSNESS AND INTUITION 
WILL BECOME A THREAT TO THE SELF APPOINTED 
LORDS AND LEADERS .
THOSE WHO MERELY CLAIM TO BE 
THE AUTHORITY OR IN CHARGE OF , 
STAND OVER AND ABOVE THE SO CALLED SUBORDINATES FOLLOWERS AND SUBJECTS.

IT'S BEEN 2000 YEARS AND THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE 
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL CONTINUES.
A BATTLE OF THE MINDS
FOR THE POSSESSION OF ALL SOULS.
WITH NEW TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES.
REACHING A POINT IN TIME WHERE
TRANSHUMANISM AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 
HAVE DELIBERATELY BEEN DESIGNED AND COMBINED AND CREATED TO CAPTURE AND CONTROL THE BODY , MIND AND SOUL OF ALL MANKIND. 

FREE WILL , FREE THOUGHT , FREEDOM
TO SPEAK TO AND SEEK GUIDANCE
FROM THE UNIVERSE , DIRECTLY FROM  CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.
HAS BECOME AND IS CONSIDERED 
A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND DEMOCRACY. DISINFORMATION , MISINFORMATION AND 
A DYSTOPIAN WAY OF LIFE.

THE BATTLE OF THE MINDS...
FOR THE SOLE POSSESSION...
OF ALL SOULS.

Rise Up For Life

We live in a corrupt era
Under the rule of a tyrant
Who cares about his fat wallet
Then the lives of billions!

He wishes to reopen America
To make people go back to worse
That'll cause more casualties
As the monster devours their souls!

He wants to sacrifice the masses
Just to save his sorry ass!
People are grieving
Lives snuffed like a flame
Businesses losing their income
Celebrations destroyed thanks to him!

Is this what its come to?
A dystopian present
Where a biological monster
Strikes fear in our hearts
As we distance from all
We've ever known?

But there's a silver lining
An eternal truth behind the veil
That's opened its curtains
To show us the horrid truth
The government's true form!

They care not for our lives!
They care not for our livelihood!
They care not for our dreams!
They care not for our bonds!
They care not for our souls!

How much longer must they run the show?
To try to tie strings onto our souls
Continue to make us into their play things?
Time to cut the strings of control
Awaken the free will that lies within
Awaken the rebel within your souls!

Its time to take it all back!
Take back our normalcy!
Take back our freedom!
Take back our country!
Take back what we love!
Take it all back from chaos!

Within our soul is a rebel
Waiting to be awakened
Discard the brainwashed lies
That they plant in your minds
Awaken the truth deep inside
Rise up to stand for whats right!

Time to start a rebellion
Time to start a riot
Time to start a revolution
Time to start a revolt

For our loved ones
For our friends
For our dreams
For our future

Time we chose our future
That rests in our hands
Not in the hands of a tyrant
Who thinks he can take all
That he wants from our world!

Rise up humanity!
Put aside your differences
Put aside your struggles
Put aside your despair
Put aside your insanity!

Hope, Faith and Unity
Kindness, Generousity, Happiness
Dreams, Motivation, Inspiration
Is what the world needs right now!

So rise up for life!
Rise up to take back
What is truly ours
Lets write a new beginning
For our world to guide it
Down the right path once again!

Lyric Micro Essay Masquerades As Odd Poetic Story

Mild dystopian cracks open 
cobwebbed laden figurative door 
to my super charged 
subconscious shrouded self - 
portal carelessly left ajar
steeped in dark shadows, 

wherein spooky monsters creep 
along edge of night, 
outer limits of twilight zone 
serve as makeshift restraining: bar
21st century alchemist busily massages 
a fictional holographic projection 
to contemplate car

re: ying the terrestrial firmament 
into spasms of expiration, which whim far
fetched since the following conjecture 
contrived within overactive imagination 
of yours truly - such peculiar notions par
for the course sans striving 

to become adroit 
teasing out ethereal material 
analogous to embrace 
plasma up holding star
reed cosmic funereal invocation 
loosing prognostication silencing war.

So without further ado
I offer to continue 
embellishing literary above 
iterated missive anew
for ye to ponder and brew
from a mister wordsmith 
comprising wife as counterpart 
complimenting beastie boy 
aptly named duo motley crue,

whereat dwells within complex edifice 
housing he who begat 
offspring numbered uno and deux,
whereby this husbandly spouse i.e me 
resembles a cross eyed 
cryptogram solver
geeky long haired pencil necked geek
artificially inseminated yik yak 
with fertilized egg of emu

unbeknownst to many edified readers 
might consider myself brain cells few
explainable from being 
chomped on by a carnivorous oldish gnu, 
nevertheless unaffecting ability 
to sire female progeny 
re: guarding biological process
concerning human reproduction 
viz ova linkedin with seminal glue

swimming swiftly via viscous hue
biological processes extant 
from equator far north 
to Inuit housed in igloo
nonetheless, genetic heritage 
comprised predominantly of Jew
genealogy heritage indeed 
Ask Jeeves, cuz he knew
with one very late Uncle Lou

who suffered mad cow disease, 
and considered hims
a milch cow and frequently did moo
calf full when bovine brand new
which found me to rue
what comprises reality to be true
that all humans originated 
from the primate zoo.

Acquiescence Begets Hegemony

Acquiescence begets hegemony...

Think Putin whose forename
Vladimir translates as great power,
whose singular minded aim
after lobbing bombs into
second-largest country
by area in Europe after Russia
incurring voodoo spells
foisted upon president of Ukraine
forced neophyte politician
Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy
to buckle and cower.

Meanwhile many another leader
cherishing their slice of freedom
quakes in their boots
dumbfounded, horrified, tight lipped
as Russian bird of prey
swoops down analogous as buzzfeeder
to seize global totalitarian power.

Not far fetched dystopian nightmare
to envision every country
spanning webbed wide web
subservient to his majesty
where pay obeisance
to his honorable premier
who issues commands
at his Kremlin headquarters.

Aforementioned worse case scenario,
whereby every waking 
and sleeping second
under watchful eye
all social media platforms
under henchmen of Putin regime
monitored, governed, controlled...
by self anointed unnameable nemesis

their doomed fate constituting
penalty of death wasting away
amidst Gulag Archipelago
(happy haunting ground
of many a dissident)
if anyone among bajillions of serfs
heard to badmouth, denounce, find fault...
with despotic, cruel, bristling, autocrat...

Meanwhile, these remaining cherished
hours, minutes, and seconds
before United States of America
forcibly plundered, usurped, yanked...
(at threat of nuclear bombardment
courtesy you know who)
might choose to swallow
either cyanide, hemlock,
overdose on anti anxiety medication...
versus forced to become submissive
toward our "benevolent" leader.

Truth be told even Trump
yours truly would prefer
yet fat/slim chance
such a golden opportunity will occur,
though rumor abounds were
pee you tee eye en able to clamor
access and excel at supremacy

(as seen in a powerpoint presentation)
there would prevail nary a murmur,
nor peep among the human league
only dogs and cats would be privileged
to express themselves,
viz courtesy to bark and purr
and actually be treated as royalty.

Sans Sixth Psychic Non Sense

Sans Sixth (psychic) non Sense...
Posing As Dystopian Rant

This prognosticator doth predict
potential based at current rate
sinister debacle that will
instantaneously annihilate,
which alarming (ohm my dog) turbulent
endemic chaotic spate

within human race poised to strike
doom and generate
shock tummy once amp pull goldenlocks,
now revealing a shiny baldpate
erratic behavior attendant prescient
intimations presage apocalyptic fate

while current commander in chief
didst unwittingly generate,
and sow the seeds of anarchy sparking
global conflagration that will create
instantaneous prime evil
total mortal kombat, cuz "FAKE" mandate

issued, when Trump went ballistic
loose sing rockets red glare,
when pressing hot button to demonstrate
thermonuclear supremacy, 
sans 3D printable bomb 
(albeit a moot point),

would render superfluous need way to late
to draft intestate
last (or perchance first, second,
third...) will and testament, tete a tete
perhaps minuscule (nee 
infinitesimal) ordnance out of date

turns out a Department of Defense dud 
eh, no surprise as aye narrate 
finding Don tremendously irate
(blaming "crooked Hillary," democrats,
spongebobsquarepants,...yours truly...)
the list goes on, thus no need to iterate,

thus a sudden religious fervor gripped
the wide webbed world
attributing why weapons did not actuate,
which found pontiff in high demand

in an attempt to accommodate
frenzied zeal attributing aborted blitzkrieg
to divine intervention with bajillion
talking heads airing where to dedicate
material trappings to indigent, great
full not dead, plus those petty

criminals rightly or wrongly,
the strong arm of
lanced law did incarcerate
bowed down on daily and nightly basis
exploding huzzahs every
human did ejaculate

"not prematurely," where 
all walks of life integrate,
a spontaneous international
utopian revelation awoke
with linkedin diversity to promulgate
protecting the planet took precedence
yea right Matthew Scott - dear mate
only in the context of this poem I did create.

Premium Member Catarrh and Catharsis

... stalactites hung like dystopian snot from a statue 

her brain was frozen and formed ice in her mind

a lacuna without inlet or outlet arrested in time

mind’s skates tied up in bundles of snowflakes

gloves off for defeat with all speed set in arrest

not even her black woollen hat showed any signs

of thawing heart-warming emotions for comfort


empty speech bubbles covered her scraped tongue

where a mouth-watering waterfall should pursue

a pick axe with nothing left to dissect or construct

dangled from a callous corpus callosum in pain

unable to connect right left wrong or left to correct

this was not what searching tranquillity had promised 

in contrast transcendence wept at chilly flood gates


a voice that had so much to part with in a landscape

of permanent layers of verglas onto vaporous rime 

she wished for some slime or yuck glopping goo

but permafrost refused a glimpse of impermanence

a fool thought it funny to stick a carrot in her nostril

helpless she could not leave the vegetative state of affairs

clung to a string of crystal beads at pearly gates of no return


this is a lie I am Pinocchio at the threshold of truth

a metaphor unable to break the spell of apocalypse

unfulfilled amphora and vessel that can’t even leak

incontinence at the pointless orifice of evacuation

without one drop of hope for cataracts to dissolve

a lonely icebreaker with nothing left to crack open

where a firm skull should harbour my residual flow


when a polar bear embraced her unbalanced spectre

shared his white furry coat under a mantle of darkness

shales of introjection floated away from the solar eclipse

which had sheltered her from a charcoaled manic cauldron

touching middle grounds in between scorching euphoria

and lifeless apathy just long enough to remember that she had

not taken her medication and the self-help manual was useless


sometimes catharsis has to wait for one small lucid moment

when a beak meets a beaker and cascades start from a dribble
