I have to admit
The school where I work
Needs everyone to be
Able to speak Spanish.
Because the parents do.
We are an 82 percent
Spanish-speaking community.

And I have failed Spanish 4 times.
I have no idea...

Hiccups 

An involuntary spasm 
of the diaphragm 
and respiratory organs, 
with a sudden closure

and a characteristic 
sound like that of a cough.

Rather mundane topic 
lest one cursed 
with said minor inconvenience

"Nature yields to artifice,
not artifice to nature."
Iain McGilchrist

Winning yields to lost and last identity,
not ego-loss to healthier winnings,
more ecosystemically robust.

LeftWing values for transparent
inclusive
democratic rights
more than royalistic wrongs,
yield to RightWing 
nationalistic 
white supremacy,
not artifice to integrity

March 1985.
The God-voice had been yelling at me to go to the library since I got the third child bathed and in bed,
And I had sat down for one measly second to relax. 
Joe?
What?
Can you...

Neftlix, Hulu, autumn elaeagnus
thorns, small hairy buds, twigs hyper-lenticelled
fruits supposedly edible, leaves elongated, oblong
xerophytic but found in wetland
introduced species, some say invasive

“That useless bloody mongrel, that scum of the flamin’ earth,

Running on a few hours of sleep,
I decide that this is a good time as any
to empty out my thoughts

tilt my head to the right
and let everything flow out of my ear
into a bucket
*whoosh* just...

I swing into action
Armed with wine 
The spirit willing, really for anything
Watch the Drama

Fire in my eye, dry throat, cracking lip
I stammer a little, with Socratic confidence 
I am stinking of words, ammunition from hell
Most...

His looks and physique,
Add on to that someone else's mind and brains,
I am sure it will be like salt to the season-less.
Add to all that someone else's generosity,
It will be like spice to the spice-less;
And...

Every bodies afraid of going into business
what happens if the company goes bankrupt

As of now, I got no mate
Working toward my own place
Another tragedy
Another casualty
Becoming a cold case
Zero evidence they could locate
Something sentimental
Something special
Stashed in a gold vase
People continuing to show hate
As a nation
A lot of saturation
Too...

Rapid Response Turtle Team, R2T2, is their name, saving is their game!
They’re ‘Mary River Turtles’, headquartered in a submarine, but not tame.

I really have outdone myself this time!
My ‘God Machine’ is finally in place!

Or stop for a red light that changed from green

I missed you today. 
With an suddenness, a bereft slap across my skin.
When that familiar hair ahead of me on the sidewalk

I want to write a poem but I don't know what to write
I think I will write about edification
What is it?
Is it when you lift someone up?
Yeah
And more 
It means that when the person leaves...

 Append the seal on the opening glee
 Of performance agog with clapping drums,
 The cylindrical bell calling to spirituous mundi
 Screaming flew about in the air;
 Perched on ears
 And pecked on fertile hearts,
