in trust-relationship with mine,
aggressive and impulsive.
Behaviors of addiction
to a child's...

How does it feel to you
when presidents proclaim anthro-supremacy
exclusively made
in one universal God's
straight WesternWhite monotheistic 
over-Capitalized 
and stealth-marketed 
kleptocratic image?

face to face with me on Skype
thousands of miles away.
A grown man, but still my son,

after all, you are...

When the gods visited in their ragalia,
We were like those that were dreaming.

Because thousands of our smiles were missing
And our white...

I am looking for dream interpreters.
My name is Goodluck
Don’t swear yet please, don’t “****”

"You are ... different, aren't you?" she said, crinkling her nose.

That sentiment, spoken by my fourth grade home-room teacher
Had been paraphrased many times before
(And would be countless times again)
Different, unusual, odd, weird, curious, complex, or...

Fundamentalists have misinterpreted the wise men,
Magnified them and blown up their faith in god,
Claim that the magi had an epiphany, heard from above,
In searching for, analysing and interpreting the nexus odd.

So what’s the real story...

When a precedent-busting pandemic is palling around the world 
when its concomitant panic and pain freak out
it is your fine figures that are unflinchingly unfurled

The Jewish brothers in Defiance were definitely tough.
One wanted to kill many Germans, the other to save many Jews.
The German soldiers were expendable, unmarried, unremarkable.
Each little death was very little, a little spittle in a...

I've always been an emotional type
But as I've climbed life's ladder
I've become this blubbering old duffer

Is build on till eternity.
