Long Mindlessness Poems

Last night I dreamed I was Donny's sexy Secretary

Clutching the moment 
Before yesterday became yesterday,
The promise,
Before he pledged his love to me,
The colors,
Before autumn waltzed away,

Breathing white, plunging into the thought,
A blizzard erasing the gentle flames,
Sheltered by...

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?

How might this have felt
comfortable and uncomfortable
across centuries of Western
straight light-skinned male monastics
expecting historically salvific privilege?

How...

Some parents and cooperative school teachers
and classroom and bus aides and drivers
are discussing government regulations
restraining transportation providers
from providing therapeutic touch,
because of an over-compensation
for emotional dysfunction behaviors
leading to appallingly irreverent touch.

The appearance of gentleness
shows many gracious ways
and this image of godly meekness
is being totally true to oneself;
it can't be stirred by rage,
or even irrational revenge:
indignation is an unthinkable bluff!

The wild one who remains free
Undaunted by societal norms

The change that can be made
By one determined person
Guided by light and love 

Never...

From dancing to climbing, meditating and painting,
but in retirement I find it easiest mowing the arboretum.

Starless night, a fire ahead
upon a wind sheltered hill.
Drizzling rain and steamy breath,
I feel the yearning for you.

Lighted by the flickering shine
you seem to be nameless to me.
But your words, your versant vein
recall the charm...

The hillside stained
in bloody mindlessness
yet nurtured with tender care,
tend heady dreams
as yet to be invented,
besotted, many virgin souls

intellect to be prised, an

I can't remember yesterday,

When I'm surrounded by myself 
And the only friend to comfort...
