begins with reconstructing competitively clumsy LeftBrain technicians.

Whether learning to play the piano
or learning to communicate in some new language
or learning to adopt,
and/or adapt,

An attorney friend of mine once said,
We have two opposing views
of the hows and whys of law and time and natural evolution,
including natural law,

At first, it wasn't my father's Oldsmobile.
Then, there came a longing for a new identity
with an invasion of one morphing after another.

It seems that so many things started...

We see ourselves as that fire across the land;
a wall of words to wall out hurt or pain.
We create a story among ourselves to entertain,
experience awareness as a finger of approaching throb.
It is us we...

Shatter the Delusion


Enormity of lies
Creates infallible illusion
Humanity obeys unable to resist,
as though with some instinct of feigned rebellion,
were it ever really enough - for
Earth's previous bluest skies

And so unaware then naïveté persists,
And so, it sticks...

This thought that humans can somehow be made
to improve...

the empire has had enough---
having pandered to those occupying for 2 months now,
standing cute & subtle beside, avoiding aggression 
so as to avoid unfavorable photo-ops with those
resisting,
so as to avoid having the footage being posted...

A difference between compassion and sympathy,

between co-empathic passion
and unilateral YangPatriarchal-empathic, 
ego-empowering intent,

Compassion matures passion FOR
into shared passion WITH.

This same emergent fluidity
cannot be said of sympathy
for suffering of Other,
who remains another dissociated Other

Exempted from democratic inclusion
in...

You’re not even.


You’re not the greatest dancer, but I would love to dance with you.
You’re not the greatest singer, but we are so in tune.
You’re not a model or designer, but I love your style.
You’re...

At twenty-three, Brett found his girl,
A green-eyed vision with strawberry curls,
A year of dating came and went,
And wedding bells the sky did rent.

Life was good, he worked as a welder,
And rushed at night, tales to...

Then the guns roared!! and it was hard to distinguish the 
Hush from the roaring; the two seemed almost 
Indistinguishable. 
Was it the roaring, I wondered, or was it the hush that was

I once traveled around the U. S. on a Greyhound bus,
My wife thought I was crazy, but she made little fuss,

In this plush modern world of convenience
where everything you could want can be sent
to your house with just a single mouse-click,
it’s no wonder men feel depressed and sick.
A sex evolved for hard peril and work,

These holidays, like a whirlwind romance…can’t catch my breath. Hustle and bustle of parties and gifts. Figuring it all out, the list, counting it at least twice. Birthday parties piled up, tissue paper scattered like...

Assaulted Peanuts

They rode across the Western Hills,
For the land of Middle Eyed Bong,
To raid the Salted Peanut Trees,
Of King Pod and his merry throng.

Who were they, this reckless band,
Dare to plunder with motley crew.
They knew...

Hands awaken! Speak out! Answer to sacred shouts,
subterranean whispering, to stars above rooftops—
thread sunlit branches with the chattering of a thousand leaves.

If fluxes and urgencies of confusion or death
should drawn you into your self-box, I...

It’s something that I have noticed
through pretty much most of my life,
a strange malaise of spirit
that somehow just doesn’t feel right.
As if we’re just spinning our wheels,
as if we have beaten the game,
no great mission,...

Diluted Recall. 28/03/2018


Turning Fifty is a milestone to most,
Bringing a reflective mood to mind.
To memories of good times we raise a toast,
Though my recall I am struggling to find.

I’d love to say I can’t remember...

A NEW DAY DAWN THE SON HAS ROSE SOON HE WILL COME DOWN

It's a new day dawn
The moon has rose

And I see myself and the earth
Getting colder...
