If I told you would you listen 
If i told you would you perceive me as a monster 
If I told you would you go and judge 
My unborn beautiful daughter 
I'm warmhearted 
With the...

A "Highly" Debated Issue


From glaucoma to chemotherapy
Medical marijuana has its place
But you won’t find any prescribed
In the conservative Sunshine State

Chris couldn’t eat while under treatment
Watched him lose one-hundred pounds
He had no access to an appetite...

(Dedicated to the memory of my mother Catherine who died June 3, 2011 and was 
buried June 24, 2011)


Sleep. Wake. Sleep
Sleep on empty stomach
Food and liquor make the journey
Eat, make Epicurus laugh double for once
Holiness!...

The ocean jade, its 
white-veined waves,
flush the sponge land,
as dangled toes melt into sand.

Far across the earth ends
in a silver bright horizon...
Almost blue then, there 
the sky, the water
Transpose in sight
Coalesce inseparably
Those seas, those skies....

See what!

Don’t let a let a lot of
skyjack noise 
		         cloud your IQ vision
Radar babies make sonar decisions
for the latest batch 
of tech toys

They be so double...

White America is uncomfortable with moving forward,
they want their future to go back to the past

“Make America Great Again!” 
A brand chiseling, 
cave wall jingo retail sale slogan
Snowflakes wanna hear the retro frost sound

For long was I in love of light,
Light being likened with knowledge,
And when I fell in love of dark,
It was no love of a first sight,
One, led by the glory of night
In its star-spangled image.

No dear, not for your sympathies to earn,
Nor yet that your attention can I draw,
Just as helpless infants are apt to do,
True, facing you helpless I’ve often felt.
Tears cause in me no butterflies of love,
Nor...

Butch and I saw the Stones at the 1969 Altamont Concert.
We had the time of our lives! We dropped acid and
did Quaaludes and snorted whatever was offered.
We were young and bullet proof that day.

We're senior...

The world of sight is when taken
Away, let of vision waken,
Let world of sound sharply shaken.

Way laid gets when my wander lust, 
Let me hear time’s footsteps in dust, 
Dawn’s birds wake me with song-filled...

I feel as if walking inside
an impressionistic painting, that too in 3D
as far as I can see, a world of dots and light
the same as what I’m made of.
I see summer in spring.
My eyes touch...

I want to say sorry
For being remiss
I tend to worry
As I look at the list
Of the appointments I 
Have to
Keep, every week.
I get such care for the
Cures that I seek.
Everything is fading
And it seems far...

The powers that be
show us 
what they want us to see

But the whispering wizards 
behind the veil,
all have an emerald poker tell

The froggy princes that lead
always gon spit
a little grinning white in your pink eye

Swollen...

Look deep, deep in the mirror
Do you see color?
What do you see?
Can you see the sins of the humanity,
And the hypocrisy creeping at the doorsteps?
Blinded by the murky and muddy
Glaucoma of jealousy,
You can neither see...

The fireworks glaze the corners of my eyes
But I can't see, the bombs falling all around me
The rushing blood pumping through my legs
I can feel glaucoma coming with every scream

Grasping the chalky stone near my...

Been diagnosed with start of glaucoma
It certainly was to be expected
Members of my family have also suffered
So why wouldn't I be affected

As most families go, so go its members
Very few of us miss this inheritance

Drowning in our incubus sleep,
phantom enemies are devised.
Easy answers for night terrors.
Social purgatory for the stranger,
Our river Styx for the brown ones.

Our fortress must wall them out.
Brown poverty is culpable.
Starving families must be criminals.
Racialism winking...
