Long Nouveau riche Poems

Permacultural Designers
are taught to multiply the number
and networking depth
of relationships
between species
and organisms

you get eight maybe interdependent functional relationships,
and maybe not...

(which top 15 billionaires
projected to become trillionaires

Scotch Tape Sweepstakes

The easy to handle
sticky sided material
made of a variety of materials, including
cellulose acetate, polypropylene,
PVC, and adhesive
(alluded to in the title)
applied in an innovative manner
allowing, enabling, and providing me
the means and ways to affix...

I wouldn't call Bill Plotkin's WildMind
unmitigated Wild RightBrained,
nor would I call his WinWin therapeutic thinking
with PositivEnergy feelings
entirely LeftBrain domesticated, diminished

Commodified, capitalized,
colonized and conquered,
deduced and reduced
down to a slow-grown dark pearl
of Negative YinEnergy
seduced by Yang Supremacy

Asian Epicurean Quest

It is like a drunk
or addict reaching that 'so called' stopping off point. That point
where one can't imagine life with or without the fix. Writing is like that.

Decades ago, we met one afternoon
the talk was of change that was coming soon.
Betty Jean's dad gave his insightful view
that the elite life may not continue -
in his gracious estate on Cheswold Lane
across from the...

I try to imagine how it must be for you to feel this way, 
rising like the undead under deep coffin skies, 
when Death warmed over looks healthier by far, 
lurching blindly in the dawn...

The leaves
From the trees
They fell
It was that time of year 
Nature looked unwell

The sun disappeared 
And out came the rain 
Happiness vacated 
What’s left of the brain

Festive season
The only saving grace 
To lengthen the holidays...

I read and write and speak Français,
All my suits, and shirts, and shoes are custom-made.
I own a Porsche and Maserati,
A house on Acapulco Bay
With scores of floors of marble tile...

Always present

I've always felt prosperous till Satan's Trumps,
They're American pirates and whores: Worship "Lust!"
Now I've ash on my face, and my gold smells like rust.
Institutions we trusted, have raped or dead umps.

Poetry, let’s me write freely,
But football the one to be viewed,
One I can do but the other I can’t,
It’s a fact not just others being rude!
The pow’r of the pen an enrichment,
