A$$-tronomical
by Michael R. Burch

Relativity, the theorists’ creed,
says mass increases...

PermaCulture DeSigners

PolyCultural Beauty Consultants

HealthCare Consultants
with compassionately enlightened clients
want to co-invest their peak experience wealth
in slow growing indigenously humane health
and conservational safety

Days pass into the weak, loveless nights. The moon blinks.
The stars swirl beneath Van Gogh’s brush, as he links.
Comet light passes twisting cypresses, a schizophrenic’s concussion.
On and on, the wind twirls the trees, and does...

What obstacle can there be between a boy and infinity?
Behind the old brick house, among countless fig and persimmon trees, 
next to the concrete cistern and under a beautiful bright summer sky, 
the boy was...

The trees, the holly
the pine scent and folly? 
What’s this season all about? Is it joy? 
the sales, gifts or newest toy? 

What is this anger all about? 
causing folks to curse, stress, shout
When one...

GENDER BENDER
(Battle of the Sexes)

Today, I do admit I seem confused
About some common words that I have used.
I thought I was a female, not a male,
However now my gender must curtail.
Woke up today to see...

We are a MONEY-DRIVEN world,
The FUNCTION OF MONEY,
Is to purchase our HAPPINESS,
From the WHOLE UNIVERSE,
Of GOODS and SERVICES for sale.

We ORGANIZE ourselves, accordingly,
The way we...

Love
it excludes me

I’ve never felt my heart flutter much
Seldom felt heat pool in my stomach,
or a yearning for another’s touch.

I’ve dreamt of a gorgeous white dress, a chilling symphony
and a vow uttered with utmost sincerity
I’ve...

I just love the Christmas tree which we welcome into our homes, 
Symbolising nature, the natural, challenging our views and roams;
Settling in our cosy living rooms, the empire of many, each of us, 
Independent, not...

What is in the darkness to fear 
What source of light is missing from there?
How does one free their soul from mischief 
And find the goals they can aim for in life?
We have no reason...

Can happily ever after truly ever exist 
Where we live in a world that looks like this 
Where we live in a society that favours division

Because how can one truly be happy
In a world that...

I look to the stars when I am sad
I look and realize that life is just that
Life is a sad process of denial and greed…
I look into the depths of space and am amazed
The magic...

discovery
let us create a mission to mars
in hyperspace
perhaps a gpt  game
where we isolate known valence electrons
these are source codes of electricity
which anonimity excludes
from detection
in p doping of semiconductors

Come and see the Christ child,

Favored One, first born of Mary.

Listen up and learn deep,

I'm only saying this once
and it will be on tomorrow's test
now nearly finished today.

of synergetic polynomials,

Hypocitical and all for show
It's Congress's new way
Lacking sincerity and morality
They've sold their principles away

And wage the valiant fight
