Long Fail safe Poems

I (a youthsome, wholesome, jokesome, handsome,...
gamesome, chucklesome, bothersome,
and awesome modest fellow)...
does not deliberately court immortalization,
and wonders what criteria confer elevation,
exaltation, glorification, hero worship,
idolization, veneration, or worship.

I go about a daily humdrum routine
me, a twenty first...

Hiccups 

An involuntary spasm 
of the diaphragm 
and respiratory organs, 
with a sudden closure 
of the glottis 
and a characteristic 
sound like that of a cough.

Rather mundane topic 
lest one cursed 
with said minor inconvenience
that...

The Limerick, Pennsylvania Nuclear power plant siren wailed

yesterday at 1400 hours December the fourth
and probably broadcast further
east, west, south and north.

That shrill ear-piercing
emitted sound quite painful
despite measurable diminution
regarding my audiological ability,
which loss of hearing
linkedin to...

All those warnings you heard about A.I.?
You should listen to them, I’ll tell you why,
remember that whole day the net was broken,
that was an artificial intelligence.

I know because I was an engineer,
working that project for...

Love has taught me
to look deeply, beneath 
the green of the heart’s 
tender shoots –

every living soul 
draws from a reservoir 
of mixed feelings,
a spring of good laced
with evil –

I pray each day
we together strive...

"Poeta Nascitur Non Fit"

Hated decades ago
Accepted a decade ago
Glorified now
To the extent 
of what we are horrified by

Painted tainted enlarged adjusted
Altered lessened sculpted tatted
A misrepresentation of our creative space
Now you are different if you are...

A secluded cabin
fail-safe  into a mountain side -
Oh, so high, one feels
they can attain and adjoin the clouds

A pallet of goose-down feathers, veiled
by a hand sewn comfortor
and a spiderlike, dusty canopy - 
a paradise...

He’d flumed out of his liquid diet.
Shards on a dead man’s floor.
The book must be thrown at him.
The book falls on his fail-safe head.
The pages burn with recompense.
The pages could of…should have…
indeed did make him...

Folks say I'm struggling
That I'm old and confused,
They don't see all the haggling
Which leaves them bemused.

My colleagues are wordy
My enemies too,
But my willpower is sturdy
As I'm all for the Blue.

If now a bit slower
Even friends...

I was long beyond expiration date
When you plucked me off the shelf
You must have seen something in me
Not apparent to everyone else 

I was running on exhaust fumes
Way beyond the fail-safe zone 
Thinking chances of redemption 
Passed me by...

If you really want to know, play it backwards
Put the record on, the Beatles or the Byrds
An act you may find seemingly absurd
A hidden message fail safe, I’m assured

Is Paul really here and on the...

Number One was Titanic, the monstrous liner,
In its, indestructible features, so finer;
Was the B - 2 Spirit bomber technical enough,
To face any challenge so rough or very tough...?

Was Mercedes-Benz W 140 feeble in mechanics,
That, while...

The future ahead seems so blackened in cast, 
And the dark burrows into the dreams of the past, 
Light for the blind being led by the blind 
Figures curiously absent, scarcer to find. 

Left-over feelings...

As I set in my comfort, champagne glass in hand I reminisce over the master's of my plans.
Putting pawns in perspective, navigating the move before the move. Using a fail safe strategy
Leaving no way to...

I'm past the point of no return
the dotted line gets broken
fail safe isn't an option
with my heart laying out in the open

the past shrinks in the distance
it fades in all its glory
how could I have...

I'm not much attached to this body,
it feels like it's on a short leash
while the brain drags it around
like a reluctant old dog.

Long cantankerous years
have pummeled it into a shape
it never used to own, never...
