Long Fault line Poems

One generic baby boomer, (a garden variety sexagenarian)...
offers his interpretation of critical race theory

I, (an articulate, charming, domesticated, 
erudite, friendly, genteel, humorous, intelligent,
kind, learned, male, albeit modest – married) 
with freshly clipped formerly gnarly toenails

I notice Life unfolding each embryo of Time
sewing Earth's naturally revolving liturgy,
Eco-Rites of Passage
through TransMillennial Time's fertile transition field,
SuperEco Earthly universe our Garden-Commons home,
shared cooperative space,
human nature's enculturating language place.

Time unveils creative conscience as incarnating...

Don’t let them get you talking
bat-on-brain, beak turned upside down
Don’t let them have you walking
with your throbbing head spun around

Everything simple is now so plain topsy turvy,
silence is the complex New Wave sound

Aisle confusion ...

A monochrome of boho days
segue one another surreptitiously.
Endless pantomimes of idle chatter flutter by.
Cantilever bridge, a one stop halting site for gossip and suspense.
Small talk, bespoke winged creature, Combe of pleuron.
Turin shroud spotter in the...

If I had magic

Johnnie walked the California Fault line alone. Looking for a ancient and holy place.
The desert mountain hard and her natural beauty.
Perfect place to hide wishing wells and to burn some sage.
A place...

Sick of the blame game burden and fake foreign news

Spew a fault line of tsunamis and earth shattering quakes

Two little girls on their way home
One got caught by a grin
The rejected, walked home, alone
While pretty and fast entered sin

Son is drinking his steal
When confronted with the...

A tale unfolds with trembling stride.
Will Russia's might, like thunder's roar,
Unleash a storm on Ukraine's shore?

Through fractured lands, a fault line weaves,
Amidst the whispers of fallen leaves,
Tread carefully, my soul, for here,
The specter of chaos...

Sunshine grows men on ropes
Similar with metaphors and similes
And cold plastic smiles.
Slim, shiny, at first slimy, Then…
Then mass produced body index
Fat and hypertension deficit syndrome-o-matic.
Failure due to faulty, underfunded, cheap union labor parts.
Broken and glued...

Why, even if Earth suffers tremors
Even if fault lines appear here and there
Shaking us, jolting us to wake up to our own reality
We only care to see the beauty of life

We only care to see...

The quiet brings introspection - emotions contained…those of excitement, roll-up-the sleeves, the dejection, beliefs. The empty room filled with holiday assortment. A shame to shape the room back into every-day style. We look forward to...

On the twelfth of August in nineteen fifty three
Tectonic plates moved in the Ionian sea
A massive earthquake bringing destruction and death 
Caused kefalonia to draw her last breath.

Buildings were flattened and many lives were lost

Helplessly hoping I close my eyes in search of a good night.
Tossing and turning they open to greet the morning light.
I rise out of bed running, hoping I can fly.
Only to stumble and fall when...

There’s a fault line everywhere I stand.

Pain … constant as time
and sharp as the biting wind
	on the coldest peaks
From whence it came
		Ego
		Pressure
		Expectations
		Loss
For why it haunts
will we know?
When we confront the pain and start
the process of healing, does it matter
where or why?

Falling in Love with a Writer is a Faulty Design
We see things that other females
don’t pay a tuppence to.
Like a half-burned cigarette tail,
Your osculation of deep, dense rouge—
A secret trusted only by two.
With our own...

Most coupling is no safe bargain,
Unhinged by disappointments past,
           sun rays lost to unbottled complaining

But we're two currents that flow in tandem,
Well aligned smart people...

There was a fire in the sky,
The day Tecumseh fell.
No white man could deny,
They would know his cursed spell.

There was thunder in the spirit realm,
That bellowed out a threat.
No holy book or church house hymn,
Could...

To hide the fault I see;
That mercy I to others show,

I never could have predicted
That I would leave in such a way
Circumstances brought me to a place
Where I could no longer stay

The legalistic rules
All of them, hypocritical fools

In all of their getting
They were too stupid...
