grows two permaculturing farmers,
multicultural mediators
of Earth's healthy polypathic remainder,

And, surrounding them,
seven elders
and their cheer leading mascot
of disabling foolery

Arriving each spring
in his wheeled chair
to witness
and sometimes loudly prophecy,
to entertain with his win/win intentions,
studying...

water weeps wildly
whilst washing away your
jesting foolery.
I saw the sun annihilated

Doing...

THE BREAKFAST OF SCANDAL
Once upon a lofty testament
 The blue print of a rhapsodic love furls 
Among the two betrothed by a mutual affection. 
Their love echoes and here to stay and born.

Or draws back in its shell out of fear.

Such things could not easily be duplicated
Let the truth be illuminated
Too sedated
Super faded
At times I hallucinated
And often ruminated
Woke up the next day feeling terrible or rejuvenated
