with his purple-heart stories so you'd best...

Darling,
I should like to do something more helpful
about this continuing feminization,
marginalization,
disparagement of full integrative value
for cooperatively-owned and managed
ecopolitical corporations,
incorporations
bio- and eco-systems.

Good idea, love.
How do you think,
or feel,
or whatever you intuitively do,
this competitive infestation
of patriarchal dominance
began?

shared a strange reality made from footsteps
the land of spirit being open to improvisation
with existence a fountain of plenty for all
too much meaning too much of the time
is it not true to the self of...

A man, 20 years of age, another man, 40 years of age

The young man in his inexperience asks the 40 year old man
"You've lived twice my life, whats your advice?"

Speak your mind
as long as your voice isn't...

but there's a special brand out

Something about David, unsettles me
Something about David, is different
I saw . . . the warning sign

Everybody has them - whether they admit it or not.
Sometimes they're the same - as what others have got.
Whether it's a lack of communication - or not getting a word in edgewise.

January Sunrise

Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,
o'er bursting citrus stretching a punchbowl
--drapes prized quilt of January's Sunrise.

Underneath confident amorphous skies,
a year dawns, snowdrops grow in icy knoll.
Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,

fan a nippy faint frost neath...

This just in, we are long drawn out drab sentences of our breath,
trying to base a topic off epiphany's languid scry, waiting on osmosis to spark a nerve.

Whenever there are cold cruel cries
Times of India appears in full-size
For help of common to criticize
All unjust, biased  and unfair ties.

Are supplied freely by the Wise.
