Healthy Politics As Unusual
Creolization,

turns our co-empathic evolving democracy project
into a verbal,
active,
regenerative more,
degenerative less,

vibrations fondle anticipation
foreplay wakes wide-eyed
swells of liquid libido quake the rendezvous edge -

Desperate Message To Kim Jong Un
Pardon any absent adulation, bequeathed capitulation, devoted dedication, indiscretion, blabbering peroration, improper salutation or any unintended vexation if this unknown earthling sent a nearly identical message. He over-looked a small number of errors and hoped...

He was staring readily,
Smiling, plotting steadily
I lifted my body and gently gazed at his grotesque beauty

Sister
A friend—
not a good one, but a close one;
one that I couldn’t let go

there were always things I didn’t know
but I loved you...

Cooperative Revolution
I'm sure it was Rob Brezsny, again,
who first pointed out to me

The In-Between
"The In-Between"
I ripped the pages of
that tired old story
from the heart, a body of work
buried the misdiagnosed slanders
