Intense passion to read

If I was God
I would be angry with the Government
you fight and you bicker
and you get nothing done

Look at England 
trying to get out of a contract
you want your leaders to be effective
they create plans

Change the word tax to levy and increase the levy to 48%

something stirred in this place, long, long ago
  presence lingering
  half-hidden haven on the crowding hillside
  enchanted enclave
  Iberian portal still open to a time confused
  dreams drifting on through

Of Fatalism

'Tis past the eleventh hour,
As time ...,
Here in the bunker,
I walked away from the Atomic Clock whose pendulum terminated its sway,
Walked I, away from expressionless gazes of our hereafter,
Longings tethered...

living in this flagitious society life becomes numb
yet we extrapolate irrespective reality till we become dumb


mental break downs and frivolous exercises of intellectual contempt
permeates a paradigmatic volition of unparsimonious content

Rudeness at places of work is a terminal cancer
That reduces and kills productivity
Promoting the dancer
Who feels her rudeness proclivity

Resembles a godsend in her way of thinking
Equating its futility to putting in a full day’s shift...

There is an unseen magnet in the lure 
of solitude.  I seek it hungrily.
In it, I draw down silence as
a cover, insulating truth, but I
deny the need for joy.  For as a boy

The signs are all around me—
skies are suddenly gray-white,
and I smell snow is coming,
maybe on this very night…

when viewing those first flakes
swirling softly t’ward the earth—
a white blanket soon to...

Crisp cold air moves in slowly expectedly.
How nice it can feel after long hot haze filled days of summer.
Gradually the chill embraces all.
And all succumbs to mother winters icy graces.
Trees lay dormant.
Water rests in a...

Her tears are real, clearly champagne and crystal, 
  delicately micro frozen upon her quiescent face; 
transparent and invisible, deceives the naked eye, 
  there for fleeting instants, gone without a trace. 
Although...

The paint crawls like syrup tears
buttery beads of color seeping away exterior fears
an unfinished work of art starting to take shape
each stroke of freshly lathered walls freshens away the hate
edged canvases rich in luxurious motif:

Coolness

Sublime coolness
How I missed you
Flowing into the house
Your feathery touch
Brushing my face
Lifting spirits

Coolness
Filling the body’s vacuum
Inhaling and
Exhaling too
Breathing you in
Letting you go
Chest rising and falling

Walking through coolness
Arms cut the air
They displace it
Then place it
In a...

My Aunt Ethel told me
that nothing rivals
our family quilts

“Not for sheer artistry
or skill in design... BUT,”
here she leaned in
for emphasis-
“the secret is
the material itself!”

For nothing could rival
the intense radiance
of colors in florescent hues

And nothing could...

I once visited an old copper town
in the upper peninsula of Michigan.
The U.P. as the Yoopers say

And on the U.P. it winters from 
October to April’s end
where saloons and

vacant churches pock each
devoutly sodden block with
a...

I run toward Lois in my dreams saving her 
Protecting her, insulating her from the big bad guy
But alas, she disappears moments before I arrive

She was a good friend, we had so many laughs.

resistance is not coarse currents;
electromagnetic ferments,
whooshing waves, subatomic spell
insulating amber, cloned crest

neither is resistance a bridge;
inky intervals at bruised bliss
bounty binders by gores girded
lanky lime, felon feast aided

resistance is all but a feast;
mystic mood burnished'n...
