Long Misreading Poems

Tonight the act of naming fell through the floor.
We speak permeable solids inflect’d by light.
Things move indistinctly: a pine palette floats
momentarily from semi truck’s bed, crosses
its body with windshield; ovidian shift from a
Forest to an...

I see them, everyday,
the hipsters and the fags
in their fancy jackets,
flipping their feminine hands,
nails just cut and short.

I hear them, everyday,
the young girls getting raped 
in the night,
and you cover your ears, 'cause it's none
of...

Philosophers, down the ages,  
Have strenuously tried
To figure out language:
Their numerous narratives polarize 
Into two Grand narratives, a binary:
Language is referential / differential.
This binary has yielded numerous derivatives.

On the referential side, for instance, 
There’s...

Sitting in disbelief feeling anger and grief,
as if I’d wish the worst or place a curse
On people with more worth 
while I’m trying to turn a leaf.
 
Why would I hurt after I did desert...

Coin’s the name, don’t call me Al.
Business only, I am not your pal.
Friends are few, family gone
Profiteering, I am the one 

Avarice is good, money is king.			
Lots of cash, plenty of bling.				
Dollars earned, dollars spent.				
Making...

I want to peer through tomorrow’s eyes.
Not a thing already old,
not a yesterday word
only temporarily paroled
from a moribund dictionary.

These words
newly dead now for millenniums.
Words old enough to have echoed from Eve
as she howled
from her guttural...

I'm trying to find the correct words to capture your smile

The very essence of who you are that keeps me staring in amazement at you
I believe it borders on the description of newfound life discovery...

You're so rich all you have is money, you don't even realize how everyone looks at you funny, not like a friend but more like a necessary evil, like a indentured servant, looks at the...

How can I exist without your grace?
Your sharp tongue or your liberal lies?
I keep breathing, believing  in dry tears

Where do I go now that I'm saved?
Lost in your love or drowning inside?
I keep feeding, these...

Make pause upon 'ere dusted trail
as bursting clouds bring welcome rain
lift my face to wash unveil
solitary travel not made in vain

In silence...surroundings I absorb
natural beauty cleaned from storm
certain freshness mingling senses
city noise and crowd now...

You wanted to be the savior in my story, the healer, the King. 
The way I looked into you, full of mystery, but eager to fulfill the void I saw through you. 
It was the...

I don't believe in one sided love affairs.
I don''t believe that only one can share.
I don't believe your heart's incapable.

It's hard to believe you don't love me.
I know that love is blind
but it's your heart...

Traveling feet,
Trudging the sidewalk.
Every hundred goes not seeking,
Single soul sees.
Across through,
The foggy misreading of appearances.
Heart simulcast emotional bond,
Welcoming home inwardly.
Walking the pavement,
Thousands careless bypass,
Giving time no,
In numbers of large,
One says yes,
"I see-feel more."
Friendship,
Only a few,
Love...
