Premium Member The Fallen
“The Fallen”



Remote,
he sees himself 
in the reflection of cold close 
yet distant shop windows, 
his final journey along the 
Hard Time Road
walking alone, 
unforgiven, no home
for the rest of his natural life 
a million knives...

Hyperbolic Quasi Autobiographical Prevarication
Hyperbolic quasi autobiographical prevarication...
caricature sketch of person best known to yours truly

What began as an honest 
to goodness attempt 
to craft personal truthful profile

  belly-belching landform
  oceans, shallow seas and lakes swell up and down
  land-bridging, submerging
  any one place moving astride, stutter-shifting
  continental drifting world

Premium Member Out To Pasture
Retirement from community development,
facilitating cooperative economic justice
in this post-millennial time of climate crisis,
feels like being put out to pasture
with the rest of us toothless and feckless horses

Stalking senior centers
and gated communities
to weather the fade-out storm
of...

Premium Member While Its Yours
Is it fair that youth is beauty
That the best we can ever be
Is before we are twenty three
Why can't a wrinkle be sexy
Who says grey hairs are icky
Contact lenses are too tricky
Comfort and ease of...

Brains
Never dine with zombies
They’ll only eat your brains.
And don’t take them to Ambercrombie’s
Because there they’ll do the same.

Eating brain’s is what they do,
And for brains they’re on the hunt.
Don’t invite them out for Chinese food,
Because...

The Wheelydoodler fickledabbler nuddogger irritated me beyond belief!
But he did not thunderbait me as badly as he thunderbaited Poosnortaflasher.
Poosnortaflasher told me had never felt so nuddogger irritated in her life.

Premium Member Commercialism
Habits are difficult to break…
and when lethal it is as if trying 
to scale a fence with barbs at the top. 

Smoking, drug addiction, 
bad relationships

or gooey-spider-webs, entrapping
the soul, gumming-up...

Back Again
A hundred years from now
or in the next moment
I will be dead, gone and back.

Not this 'I' with its sticky ego
gumming up the works;
forever tinkering, jury-rigging
a mental machinery
that was always poorly designed.

Most likely, baby me,...

On Human Responsibility In a Chaotic World
I hear it,
Like the many lights flashing
 just to keep me going.
Contrary to  the damp twisted sheets 
as my anchor to 
the warm drip.

On my invisible brow 
I have been spat 
 
And I...

The Mechanical Nature of Reincarnation
A hundred years from now
or in the next moment
I will be dead, gone and back.

Not this 'I' with its sticky ego
gumming up the works;
forever tinkering, jury-rigging
a mental machinery
that was always poorly designed.

50 To 1 Odds
My wife and her brothers gave me five grand to bet on a horse.
My brothers-in-law kicked my ass and my wife got a divorce.
They chose the horse because it was 50 to 1 odds.
