Their virgin hair spread in the dust; for nothing really matters:

Schlerotic schlemiel schleps...and says Shalom...

to anonymous readers March 6th, 2021
(blustery and chilly Saturday)
reminiscing about mien kampf,
when precious irretrievable youth

three plus decades already elapsed
trepidation, hesitation, abdication... unbearably
tugging, shouldering,
remonstrating...

Woman, woman that I loved uncommonly
Several springs ago
When the weather was good and callow
When the wind whistled swiftly, low and slow
Oh! Woman, you were young, strong and sparkling
Darling, now you're deceased
Lying down and sleeping comatose...

My tides are full with bountifulness, like an orchard to the table.
My fleece radiates guiltless white, bestowed like a lamb, fresh

Up next in lit class was the unit 
on Transcendentalism.
Between that topic and the teens,
there yawned a wide, deep schism.

I struggle with the theme myself.
Quite rigorously I'd prepared 
by grasping points I knew must be

He, on loan from faith, stared skyward
Eyes hoisted flagless where the boom broke
And saw through that window forward
Coming, what no imagination could evoke.

And yet to land give...

knowing what is known of each poisonous part

Intent on an inquisition of my very soul
The "why" as likely as the "why not"
Introspection so intense as to nullify 
Any point in being even if it were found

*On The Run* 


Hunted by my past, trailed by my shadow,
Intoxicated by elixir of youth,
I climb the ìrókò beyond the leaves.

Wail of woes, dehydrated dreams
Crushed in the battlefield of the deep;
Love lost, hoarse voice, greying...

We became us, me and Pascal
Perhaps slightly out with my rationale
But I was 18, prone to cause a fuss
Me and Pascal, we became us

Otherwise, how much joy does one merely receive?
When someone else gains trust and in you can believe.

The night has come and I have lost my way.
With recklessness, I frittered daylight hours.
Surprised am I at ending of the day.

Paid no attention to the threat of showers.

What’s happening on the street where we live
Seems same old, same old, feral instincts reign
Self-serving souls, not too eager to give
Distanced from love, trauma bonding with pain

Street smart, double entendre acts and speech
Each in stupor,...
