Long Grift Poems

Dumbfounded in the raw,
nerves in neon.
Sin-New and bones quartered by time's animation-
Death re-imagined by the law of Thelema and Agenda 21.
Moments of truth corner you in alleys and avenues in the night.
As they are ritually...

Thar was nae richt ae laddie sair
wha heft a cave 'side Galloway,
wi' nae jaiken he griftit dare

Brother. O Brother.
   O when; when we were callow!
	In days young; Shakers, of the movement, before 
gray & silver turned our locks; we held in idol.  

	Spree, even damned, were we. ...

While we dwell to this dreidel,
I seek to know before a sear,
Even in the most ineluctable dandle,
The fruit to which may indeed bear;
In the imbue oblivion, I tell a riddle,
Most morass yet merely in fear,
For...

Seduced by the $ubtil $ound



Put your elephant ear to the ground,
and listen pachyderm carefully
Do you hear the err stampede sound ...
stimulus assisted thievery deed

There’s been a clandestine meeting
at the Guv’s backroom, ivory Oval table
Secret society...

As the newly-elected president of the grand ol' U. S. of A. 
I would tell the truth to friend and foe alike and, like it or not, 
Order all legal federal actions against former leaders...

Be not soft upon the morrow
For the maliciousness it contrives.
The future beckons unending sorrow
To gamely catch the vulture's eye.

'Tis the destiny of mice and men
To be laid waste by nature's curse.
Where foolishness belied of ink...

she has blisters on the soul of her feet and cuts along her veins 
oozing pain from the sores that cover her body

There’s a wizard in the Ivory House,
speaking grandiose
The klu 
is in the bewitching words 
he spew

This be the klux of the matter — 
See the toxic spiellage
vapor wasted 
‘pon the global village

His pagan echo klan

   In the attraction of Nature's-draw, 
will my heart survive such beauty 
attracting with its maw- sitting beneath 
impending- melting offering -cascade of Winters drift encore of grift, 
scenic spring undressing the thaws,...

Riding off into the Ivory Palace sunset,
in a pitch-black limousine, no less

Hear the heavy metallic chariot roar,
leaving exacerbated fumes echo deplored

Aural palette, enamel pestilent pain 
on burnt crimson background grain

Scorching prairie brush fire

See-through


The heart so desperately hidden 
Quiet emotions betray your face 
From hope and apprehension 
Your mask shifts out of place 
While pride contorts your vision 
A simple act prepared in haste 
Subtle hints reveal the...

MALEDICTION

Evil in nature

Evil in influence

And evil in effect.

Becoming necessary

Baleful beast – filled full of ill-will

Greed seeps through the pours and infects

I – incarnated nemesis

Your Created adversary

Invented rivalry

An enmity prognosis

A new language my malaise reflects

Malign plots

Predetermined...

Hello and so
How are you
You you you
Cats and pills
All the ills
Of being still
Playing games
Naming names
It's all the same
Shame, shame, shame.
Love and lust
Who can you trust? 
Prepare for the just.
Look at the state
Of the union relate
To...

And out the station we drove away
The radio prattles its continual banter
As we policed the streets at a slow canter

There were disturbances some loud but not unique...
