Discrimination
by Michael R. Burch

The meter I had sought to find, perplexed,
was ripped from books of "verse" that read like prose.
I found it in sheet music, in long rows
of hologramic CDs, in sad wrecks
of long-forgotten...

Stimulus Checkup Visited Mine Local Gastrointestinal Economy

Stimulus check(up), visited mine local gastro-intestinal economy

Around high noon
today March 19th, 2021
fecal impaction I did plaintively croon
until effect courtesy amitiza, which
prescription medication
(in short a laxative)
served as amazing grace saving boon.

Once activated - impossible mission

Dark Matter Matters

Dark matter seems to be
What isn’t there to be seen
In between
What we see.

They dub it dark since you cannot detect it
Nor can they inspect it
With telescopy.

Yet, while it can’t be descried
It cannot be denied
For equations...

Genesis of Thoughts

Narrow and shallow shining laser focus 
     into chasm while teetering on brink
akin to scurrying thru microcosmic burrow 
     of microscopic Manhattan skyscrapers

Manifest Dual-Destiny

When life enjoys our full inhale,
breathing in-formation,
Then dying purges through breathing out,
exhaling excarnation,
recessively oriented toward last breath,
precessively convexing (B. Fuller) back in Dia-Memory toward next breath
as first breath of each eternal moment;
reverse regeneration advent.

These two,...

Destiny Knock

Once upon eternity I saw a mystery unfold, an enigma cloaked in a riddle that couldn't be foreshadowed, ever more superb than the dawn's pinkish gold. The meaning of beauty taken to a blissful new...

Ennui Sets In

"Ennui Sets In”

Whenever pen is placed
Between purloined phalanges,
When my mind unfolds and tears along the seams,
I know it’s time to move my thoughts,
Through the underground;
That dark crusty void
Of dreary dreams diminished,
Where loose hell raisers floss...

Silent Lucidity Soul Speak


I Am as I Am complete
Though ego opines otherwise
Invoking grace, we feel God’s heartbeat 
What else does there remain for us to realize

Conversations With Time

Three thousand ginger bread cookies 
On a purple path to shade 
Twisted Time Diagonally 
Elusively Disfiguring Reality 
Green was Blue 
Blue was Happy 
Happy was Sneezy 
And the other Six dwarves 
never showed 
They didn't...

What Am I?

I am story,
Unwritten,
Unpredictable,
And taking unexpected twists and turns in copious directions.
I can be anything––ambiguous, dark, enigmatic, complex or blithe, loving, gregarious and 
simple.
I stand alone, yet I am strong. 
I am multifaceted,
I exhibit many different...

Hallucinatory Prayers

Fallen upon knees in ashes of pipe dreamer’s infatuation 
chimera's collective stardust reigning through macrocosms,
world spins counterclockwise unrealistically bound hiatus
stained glass mirrors fracture in rhetorical opposition,
earthly beings condensed to mere commonplace residue
threadbare allegiances written on...

That Wanderer

This is the time I need
Unexpected as always as faithful
Always fading away, never to keep
As always as only an instant to be cool

I give to time an unwelcome me
And I tell to time that this...

The Quest For Wisdom

Where does wisdom reside?
Where does understanding hide?
Not in the land of living souls,
Nor depths of seas, where vastness rolls.

Hidden from eyes, from all living things,
Even birds in the sky, it elusively clings.
Destruction and Death have...

Inherent Temperament

Don't be so tortured, passion.

Don't be so metal rimmed in servitude
to all that's over the top and brimming with enigma's breath
Don't be the pump of blood adrenaline
on all the days one might have called
the moon...

Slippin' Slowly

Dying in bits,
Pieces each day...
No matter what I try,
I don't know what to say...

"Reality" is a concept,
I find hard to believe,
Is there more to it?
Or do I self-deceive??

Slippin' slowly
Into another world,
Mists of time and place,
Confuse...

Autumn Birds In Sky Thunder

The sky ironed out n da' morning divine
On a November day cold
Celestial rainbows born of peeping sunshine
Cloud dreams rush past unrolled

Under the bare leafless trees
Masqueraded hard to see  
A bird lands on a branch'y...

Next Queet

NEXT QUEET
10-18-2015 by jr Thornton
“Did you mean all those?
All the ones built to hurt.”
Is there form, plan, or purpose?
To those devices
To the bridge connecting
Was it intention to make sure it has burnt?

Maliciously never-ending
Devoid of way...

In the Rage of Reality

Slowly it bubbled and seethed
 rolling around my psyche
 leaving magenta trails of rage
 that were slick to the switch

I traveled a thousand paths
 and read a million books,
 elusively 'it' remained veiled
 burning the...

Self

I have an identity... But I doubt it’s me.
Cobbled together from bits and bobs,
A congregation of smiles and nods,
And relatives laughing and joking at odds
With a suspect reflection that hints to be

New. Vocal tones picked...
