Borne aloft into the netherland
the body bearing thee soul   
of Boyce Brandon Harris
birth name given to my late father
buoyed aloft united with spirit
of mine late...

My golden ego soars higher than yours
I can hold my breath longer underwater
of course,
because my publican lungs are stronger than yours
I can outshout your taxing voice 
to the heavens with a prideful text roar
I’m the...

What is interesting to me is how we all have our own conception on…
- what is “interesting”.

Each brain contains at least one hundred billion cells, you see,
each cell designed different yet we may share the...

This goes out to whoever
I got to do better
And keep it together

Blinded by it
The reason why I buy it
Can't deny it
I continue to try it
For a period of time, I was able to fight it
Gone...

The Waterbed Sea

Melinda went to sleep in her waterbed,
(Not on it, but in it, is what I said,)
Took not a mask, not a snorkel nor fin,
Just a deep breath 
and she jumped right in.

//Swim, sweet...

Feed your goldfish before you leave 
Love them as you love yourself
The bible tells us all fish are created equal 

Some people prefer baby guppies
Because their mouths move slow and oval
They are smaller and talk...

What If?

What if guppies and goldfish could swim through the air?
What if birds could only relax by sitting in a chair?

What if spider webs looked like charming bungalows?
What if cheese sticks had to be hunted...

What a lovely sight it is to see all the fish in there
Wonderful creatures swimming about everywhere
Large ones and small ones graceful as they move
They are swimming around with nothing to prove

The Hypostomus plecostomus adheres...

Late hours of evening, back to home alone
Lizards preying on insect, cockroach flying happily
No old nets of derelict spiders in dark blue airs
Archipelago scenery grinning on my coming back
(Neon Tetra, Guppies, Oscar, Mollies, Zebra Danios…etc)...

in the spring my river has an unusually active flow
tearing down her channel as if she is racing herself
I stand in the verdant grass with bare toes, watching
marveling at what delights might be hidden in...

Yvetta entered the forest quietly, barely making a noise.
She saw some pixies and elves getting out mischievous toys.
They noted her harp and wondered what she was about.
One of them made a tiny squeak, to them,...

How to begin this day?
We all begin it in our own way.
Some frenetic, some memetic.

The worst way is to listen to
news.
So unconcerned about killings
of Christians and Jews.
But dedicated to do anything 
for ratings and some shillings.

For my muse, I choose the euphoric source
Of my most transcendent -

   Lovely
- Muddy 
 Memories. 

Perceptual flashes? slosh slushing 
Approaching an untamed blue-green pond
Just your average amphibian gone blonde.
In sunshine or windward...

Be kinder to the tree, they say 
Don’t poke or prod or cut at it 
Don’t try to break its branches 
Don’t run up to attack it 

Be kinder to the fish, they say

When I am old I will plunk myself in my wheelchair and wheel it as hard and fast 
As I can to the end of the pier.

Nothing but puppies;
Swam with the guppies;
Hang out cause their buddies, 
When they get out of the pool yukky
Smelly are the fur biddies, 
And those floppies, kitties,putties, putty, puffy, bunnies, 
Eaten all the yuppy gummies, 
While...

Opalescent rainbow bass, slippery catfish large, 
green banks of rivers, beyond the rich man's barge.
Guppies gallows, fishmonger agleam, 
going fishing, Saturday. Catch me downstream.

Opalescent rainbow bass, slippery catfish large.
bring those bobbers, and peanut butter jars.
Hitherwards...

Darkness pours over the horizon,
the sun slips away.
Driven by consuming hunger,
a monstrous beast, lies in wait.
Hooded men in the choir,
weave webs from their lips,
while the hurst creeps by slowly,
in a seemingly endless parade.
On high hills,...

Tiny raindrops fall gently on the crystal pool,
forming wavelets of slowly fading ripples.

Lotus blooms dance to the rhythm of the water,
bowing gracefully low like nature’s chandeliers.

Happy guppies frolic, unafraid of getting wet,
neither cold nor pneumonia...

In a kingdom full of turkeys 
I heard a splendid fluffy ducking
I am just a rabbit hopping
Floating my passions wet and scaly goldfishing
Surrounded by violent guppies
I am just a rabbit hopping
Trap stumbling swatting squirreling 
Zipping...

Cascade of colors swirls in a fishy maze,
a tank of topicals swim the watery haze;
as a plastic diver opens his treasure,
what's inside is strictly his pleasure.

Tetra's dream of tasty bites
Swordtails dine to their delight;
albino Catfish...

gray seagulls and dolphins begin jumping and flying around the sea
knowing that soon they will be graced with honor of mysterious she
