Long Insufficiently Poems

Herpetologist meets actress (Cameron Diaz).
If he's funny he's me.
South America or Africa (on location).
In a diamond mind.
The protagonists (lovers), the diamonds, the miners and the minders.
By minders we mean watchers, organizers, supervisors.
As all art must:...

There is this hypothesis
I unjustly
and perhaps traumatically
just made hard and patriarchally up
is not down 
and retentatively not out
soon enough for healthy comings 
and goings

A ridiculous theory
that straight homophobic preachers
and teachers,
prophets
and kings,
pharaohs
and rabbis,
old crows
and magpies

Throughout too...

Speaking With NonBully VoiceBoxes

Dissociative injustice,
like racist slurs and disinvestments,
retributive oppression
for not being SWM enough,
has ecological roots
in LeftBrain anthro/ego-centered fruit
of fragile disconnected autonomy,
against all competing odds
still struggling to win
against all other elitist competitors
for greatest capital gains
over...

I remain unsure
of how to reliably
robustly
resonantly
resiliently
and yet autonomously distinguish
between contemplative leisure
and contempt provoking laziness.

I remain unsure
why Eastern metaphysicians,
spiritual/natural nondualistic teachers
continue to describe
ego as not only ignorant
of identity's leisurely origins,
but also lazy-eye False;

And,
in a positive corollary,
I...

Matthew Scott Harris deprived himself
relishing, savoring, and tasting
chromosomal biologic metamorphosis
including wreaking havoc, nixing, and
foregoing heterosexual interpersonal experiences,
thus sparking woeful regret

disallowing, disenabling, and not providing
natural encoded healthy growth
of body, mind, and spirit triage
regarding fluke of universe...

No apparent order to illness, yet
Tonight it’s gunshot wound night
Last night was the night of the inflamed appendixes
Prior to that, the night of the living gallstones
There’s a full moon, no other reason
Price of tea is...

Dear EveryThing AntiObama Donald,

It is a humbling,
not so Great Again, truth,
is it not?
This statement,

"Don't ever talk to
[or about]
The President
that way"

Sounds and feels much 20/20 different
when you are a belittled
and/or challenged 
and/or blamed
and/or shamed President
judged as...

I sprinkled dry yeast in warm water
And watched it bubble up,
Then cracked open a fresh laid egg
On the edge of a measuring cup.

I dumped in a helping of all-purpose flour,
A little oil, a pinch of...

Rapa Nui Warriors stand bright and tall and stark
Monolithic dynasties enshrined in all our hearts
But what if I told you, til death doth do us part
Santa's elves could fill the shelves, 
Yet you'd still leave...

twenty minutes
with an ice cube in my palm. . . 
ice king wannabe

My Conclusion:

cold stinging torture
 becomes more bearable as. . .
ice turns to water

Insufficiently numbed. . .
my hand could now tolerate
a hole drilled through...

How you stand so nonchalant 
When I’m the one who built this font
Doing everything which needs to be done
While you sit idle watching me run

A life I’ve made for our children and us
While you’ve focused...

Sometimes I feel invincible
Other times I feel minute
Sometimes I feel powerful
Mostly I feel mute

Thank you for the inspiration
From all your bitter words
Thank you for the lack of love
Never allowing me to be heard

Strength and will...
