probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.

There was also Authors
and a few other choices

Catapulted into seething temperatures beyond the imagination 
risking excitement in escapades that may seem inane,
potential hazard weighted against predicament predestined,
at some future stage I might peer backwards and reassess,

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego:
These may not be three names you know,
But have a seat and I will tell

Genesis resplendent to me – a garden of Eden resident atheist

Avast abundance of life forms

eyed hungrily ogling indeed

When we pleasantly stroll down
the streets or boulevards
of any historical city or town,
we  stops pensively and reflect deeply
by the magnificent monuments erected for the great;
and reading the engraved words,
we are astonished by the accomplishments
of...

1930

It started snowing during the night of Thanksgiving and until the next day.
The afternoon sky was a sullen bluish-gray.
The delicate white crystals touched down on top of the smooth skin of my nose.

O Fault! 

Horrendously I believed, a man solitary, 
Was real alive stood, aftermath Tsunami. 
On top of a roof, standing overwhelming,
Looking towards wreckage and towns’ declining.

I was immersed in an impervious imagination
of these frail flowers feigning a feel of freedom
I watched their wings whirling in whoredom
Impious, they are implanted with impinged impetus

Fabricating illusions we will seek
Like the melody of an unforgettable song
It's conception buried in the deep

Visions of his eyes
The tone of her skin
Is the one they see a dream
Or something...

while my felt honor of extinction is the stings

Yet 15 minutes later deep feelings were unhinged,
Confused, I recalled my latest meals,

Of my plight against this ongoing urge,
With...

butterfly sits serenely, it's wings unhinged
sucking sweet floral juice un-impinged
by matters bigger, of a more peopled face
emotions acrid alkaline, or bitter base

that many of those humans seem to display 
'stead of slurping the juices of...
