Long Insouciance Poems

I wait with bated breath for... C. Cure T. Clarence

The following crafted 
approximately midway 
into the administration 
of forty fifth president,
whose crass, gutsy, lewd,
repulsive yawping finds
him squarely poised to
nab the nomination as
Republican front runner
come the...

The finis sing touches touché

Knead dull brows knitted;

"Soft," New, Parade, just begun, ...

cars and beasts ...

roll down the crowd-filled Street.

All the engines "hum."

All the cylinders "run."

Eyes open wide.

Hearts sink.


Under a rising Tropical sun,

the nearby ocean lies gleaming,

washing across the horizon.

Strange, ... glory...

Or down yet another city street,
This Way down that grand Hiway,
That Third Eye opened:
Random patches of dandelion manifest,
Climbing the overgrown commons by the road;
Disappearing out of sight -
By the cracked, sun-blanched sidewalk;
Golden and deep emerald...

she was amorphous,
shapeless and humble-
no ethereal sky could
release her self-assurance

her lassitude ran wild-
for she was weary since birth,
sacrificing what was never hers
for the chase of redemption

ceasing who she was to become
as i stacked sandbags against

"The Wormwood Portfolio"



Reams of stories
riddled with worms
wood for burning
all the children
cover their eyes
tears smoked 
into the lungs
gender fluid
propheticising 
bitter water
electric brains
chipped like 
fine-boned China
downloading 
overloads 
dumps are
damp 
the fuse 
sizzles and
stops

green as absinthe
gauche ghosts
gone all...

Wickedlandia

Where evil reigns, ‘n willful blindness is sovereign
Callousness, insouciance, cruelty shall reign
Decency, empathy, honor, integrity feigned
Citizens merrily fawn, whose rulers they cheerily deign

In the valley of tyrants, heroes are vanished
Comrades betrayed; poor souls fully famished
Cores...

I am placed along the line of your existence
seeking for the stray reflection of my shattered heart.
Your laughter consumes my sighs,
like a whirl full of ebullience.
My lament covers the dulcet sound of your breath,
resembling a...

ROTTEN

Scorched, withered, choked. Is friendship,
friendship at all, when a pitbull turns
and attacks their own with insouciance.

You thought you were on the same...

Water drips from the hairs on my arms, hands

It burns
Brighter, fiercer, nuclear
With effulgent incandescence
But only when untended or 
denied the expected trajectory

For there is beauty in this 

A Glorious Thing indeed
The rarest of things truly
But to wilfully deny it? 

There is beauty in...

Inevitability 
David J Walker

This is how I turned 20 
With plenty of time left to 
Opine its wastings awaiting 
The sun to set
	The weekend to come 
Christmas 
	Birthdays 
		Summer vacations that
Race past the calendars edge...
