Long Grabby Poems

I'm a fairly active charter member
of Connecticut's Medical Marijuana Program,
qualifying because I'm also one of the oldest HIV+ survivors in the U.S.

In fact, 
not a single cell within my entire organism
would have been brought to...

I wouldn't call Bill Plotkin's WildMind
unmitigated Wild RightBrained,
nor would I call his WinWin therapeutic thinking
with PositivEnergy feelings
entirely LeftBrain domesticated, diminished

Commodified, capitalized,
colonized and conquered,
deduced and reduced
down to a slow-grown dark pearl
of Negative YinEnergy
seduced by Yang Supremacy
yet...

I think I recall
way back in balmier lemon-delivery days,
which already feel Golden Ruled
and Ratioed
and Elixired
by comparison,
when the Affordable Care Act
was referred to as the Democrat Agenda
for universal health care,
and Paris signatures
were discussed,
even polemically,
as the Democratic...

When Donald Trump
ran against very Presidential Obama,
that he did not look
or sound like a win/win public sector leader,
or even commit to expanding healthy democracy,
worked well for him.

His favorite public relations strategy
is to win first place...

I think about how to defend and protect
conservative MidWestern  and Southern women
from MeFirst grabby pastors 
and bosses,
bullies almost all growed up
within Patriarchal-Dominant root systems.

It must be difficult
for GoodNews nurturing Matriarchs
to take on religious education...

The little pygmy named Pixie Poggly was quirky queenly quaintly and quickly, but rarely ever really did much can't you see.

Until one day, a raunchy rascal quaintly and shrewdly, Skinny and slippery that he was,...

You need a smart phone to get your number.
Take a picture of the square with the code,
answer the text message, “yes I am here”.
My number D106, better take a seat.

The interracial gay couple next to...

Heroes of my age in their morning mourn,
Filled with teardrops of pain and sorrow, 
They'll be now part of the epic history, 
But the cloudiness of who ones's fault still remains a doubt for justice,
When...

I am a cat, at home I’m Ollie
But fellow cats know real name
“Intrepid Vic”, I dig that, golly
Grey tiger, finest at his game

I am the boss around here
Them humans lacking any wit
In house of mine...

So we’re going on a picnic with the pygmy, Pixie Poggly, being the quirky queenly 
quaintly quickly person she is and her friend a raunchy rascal reverently named 
Andy Bailey. As you remember he was...

I see just like the existence of very bright daylight,
A community sharing, caring, rationally bright;
Unified under the shelter of love and brotherhood,
Freed of every contemptible wickedness and falsehood!

I see citizens, like angels, hover around happy,
None...

Jaycee’s baby blue cowgirl boots were grabbed up by two friends.
Her mother said “sorry, you cannot have those. Too many memories.”
They dropped them and went for some other things.
One was carrying her favorite stuffed kitten.

SPIDERS…..you can get even with spiders

Flies and moths and wasps and bees
Flit among the summer trees
Searching for, while they’re in flight,
A proper place to take a bite…

Or use a stinger, poised to stick,
(Or grabby claws, if one’s a tick).
Whatever creature’s...

No grabby
Material axis-
Astounded this fundamental 
Fact of blistering depth-
How meaning wraps inside

Taking hold as you open
A netting to be grazed
By the spirit of nuance

Our fruit grabbing, knee jerk flattered
And upward rejection keeps
Consciousness at its sliver
Like...
