Long Homogenized Poems

Don't you think that this title is darkly divine?
But, of course, there will have to be weirdness that’s funny,
Though my nightmares are many and have complex arcs
There’s some risk here I might have to work...

you want to know a secret
when I write a poem and it's perfect
i dont share it
i bury it 
deep inside of me 
where no one else can see
i mean its perfect
not like this shift

Whether alphabetized, digitized, 
homogenized, marginalized, satirized... place names
from "A" to Zaire

The Pacific island of Tonga first

Never been to a festival before
But agreed to go with AL to Weiser
I had no idea what was in store
The way Al described it, was a teaser

The Weiser Festival is a week long
We stayed in...

Revisionist lies sold as materialistic truth
American tagged merchandise
voter bazaar discount barter
Stars and Stripes twenty-one gun salute
Intellectual dishonesty ... shifting core values
Leave compassion at the border,
separate the parents 
from their sons and daughters
Patriotic homilies be the...

There is a softening current
In which we all strive to reside

Spoken from the ecstatic pop of firecrackers,
A tinkling of wine glasses with eyes and a sudden warm touch,
The elevator rising with the waiting love of...

Lately, perhaps due to the Covid lockdown,
I find myself thinking about
past pleasures;
the little things, I've all but forgotten.
Like my first trek in the woods, alone,
one with nature,
I felt unshackled from the hands of time,
and fueled...

When I dare return to the pages of my past

Turning each one with embarrassment and shame

With regret, remorse and self incrimination

I finally come to you

Like purifying balms you came to me

Luring me gently with a...

collections show facets to me
assorted pieces hail history
recollections kept deep inside
where irrational follies hide

motley montages, memories
my collections, things that please
miscellaneous, sorts of stuff
put on shelves to gather dust

various items mingle mixed up
me, I drink from...

Technology
strangles sacred silence
in a webbed environment
of homogenized minds.

The re-run, sped up, spliced out
manufactured instant news
that became water-cooler fodder,
is forgotten by the evening's rush.
Satellites spin
fear's conditioning.

No child is left behind
from the horrors of drugs, booze, sex,
buy,...

We are tangled in our own restraints.

Canned and homogenized... Congealed and packaged.

We meander sheepishly through the one-way stalls society has provided. 
 Strategically placed in the direction they need us to be going...  ...

Harmonious is not a horrid homogenized concoction,
pulsed and blitzed in a blender mixer,
until the notes and flavors meld and gel set.
Instead it is a polyphonic pitch ensemble,
a juxtaposition of notes in counterpoint.
Chords, sounds, glissando's and...

In this world we criticize
When will we realize
That sometimes we should fantasize
Instead of ostercise

We try to commercialize
And revolutionize
And even capitalize
When all we should do is harmonize

In this world we colonize
And some terrorize
And then pulverize
And we...
