Odyssey From Africa 13d 14a
Chapter 13d

Crouching near him in the vessel!
That was now...

That my boy might yet be living

On God, Faith, Evolution and the Evil In This World
[This excerpt from a memoir I wrote 20 years ago seems sadly apropos given the recent mass murders and bombings]

When He Hides His Face, Part Iii
God showed His face a few more times--like
when He and Jacob wrestled, God knows why,
but wrestle they did, all day and into the night,
and here's the thing: God couldn't beat him!

Unlivable Yet I'M Living
Why does this anger inside of me
reach the surface so violently
a small violin sits silently
the bow starts to slide the string
Quite simply
I don’t want the sympathy
nor feeling sorry
for the...

Artigiano
Oft I flew as an artigiano over turbid and stern feelings,
Blowing hard into alpenhorn to shake the mountains built to protect,
Pale-hued gems, aneurysms of loving, resisted the temptation,
They malignantly affected me, as my twaddle does...

Journey of Doubtful Indulgence
putrid rascal was a real truant
and also a junkie
and a somnambulist too
and wicked gourmet bought a new guillotine
then the rascal walked dizzily
like a mechanic dancer

and underwent a severance

Blue Leviathan
Blue Leviathan
Sounding the bathymetric deep
Lazuline green to waters risen
Of sonic dark sung Cetacea poetry
With ever knowing smiles
The gargantuan glides
Graceful on angel winged flukes
Slow easy speed
Of winded massive lungs
Hits the surfacing
Blown by fountainhead spouts
Breaching upon...

Through the Eyes of a Whale
The journey of me
Your about to read
Migration of we
To rich grounds to feed
Vast waters
Gifted of blue
Humpback and right
My cousins true
In hunger dive
After giant squid
To the darken deep
On our sonar grid
Feasted, fed
Shadows appear

The Ancient Seahorse
Immortalized there in the Trevi,
Poseidon and his wondrous steed;
these legendary beasts of the waters
gallop the ocean forever free.
Ancestry of the charmer sea horse
forever pulling a gods’ chariot;
noble they grace heraldic armor,
gallant specters swimming free.
With...

Some of us are freaks
Some of us are less so
Some of us are geeks
With names like Fark or Bezlo.
Some have winning streaks
Lots of us are losers
Some of us have beaks
Three of us are Hoosiers.

Bigger Goals
You know what soccer football needs?
Bigger Goals!
An extra meter on each side of the posts.
Bigger Goals means More Goals!
With goals shot from wider out,
the game then would be far less defensive
with less endless back passing,
and...

Blue Enigma
Aquatic colossus breaches with elation,
crystalline baubles spray towards
periwinkle skies as casting flukes sway.
In expanse of brine play the descendants
of millennia old warriors; their songs
eco among the macrophyte gardens.
They know the secrets of ancient sailors,
these...

Taenia Saginata - Subtitle - Reasons To Become a Vegetarian
Taenia Saginata – oh isn't that a pretty name
If you find one in your burger it sure would be a shame
