Premium Member Born For What Purpose
If you live in a non-sectarian democratic nation
with so much energy
we can lavishly spend boatloads
and plane loads
and tank loads
and truck loads of oily public cash
on killing our own Green Commons,

During December
I have trouble remembering we are potentially orgasmic organisms
designed for healing wounds, 
resiliently restoring our egos
acclimating with everyday eco-habitats
to regenerate this lifeline climax;

Virally reverse-hierarchical 
deep ecstatic experiences,
revolutionary,
BigBang self-other co-empathic perpetuation,
transubstantiating,
creolizing,
co-acclimate primal relating
interdependent ZeroZones

Living happy and content
is to celebrate the lilt of life
a treasure gifted by God.

We join the celebration happily
with gifts wrapped nicely
in flashy wrappers designed to capture
the eyes and to enrobe crafted pieces
of our unclad hearts...

There is us and them, but we must learn

Premium Member The Great American Make-Believe
Suburban resident pretense, a bleak uniformity.
I grew up among the repetitious homes,
isolated alienated, I wandered the conformity,
the endless square yards, the dull feckless syndrome.

Repugnant yet intriguing, a redundant singularity,
fabrications of fortified, fraudulent self-deception,  
blocks...

All the while seeking to rearrange them
For you insist on always owning them

The Moon-In-The-Man Waxes Lyrical With Nary a Word
Kenny is suddenly,
 Luminously, animated;
with a grin that could crack a safe!
He whistles to get your attention,
then beckons you over
to the parted curtains.

He has something 
to share with you.
This is not the usual,
insular, 
self-absorbed Kenny.

In the opaque night of agony across the extant landscape
I take the ordained journey forsaken,
the track out of travail through the illusive time I lose

The locust comes like a flash of lightning
Will nothing endure...
