How I Got Richer and What I Did Next



I struck a sly deal with some Wall Street investors.

But they got me back (those post-empty-nesters)
by making fake deals I couldn't...

I served 'em...

Some say the scientific method
                              Is the ultimate algorithm and others
                              Prefer prayer.

For symbolists, all intelligence can be reduced to manipulating symbols, in the same way that a mathematician solves equations by replacing expressions by other expressions....

It’s a highway nightmare, or it should be,
but no one’s afraid (too much)
and the road just thunders and hummmms
on and on and on and on
under that greedy summer sun.

Crocheting needles waved her fingers from a self-disclosed mind

Texture and pattern set lines like predictive text and autocorrect

Wool over her eyes would know how to stitch up her soul-scape

No matter whether blanket or poncho woollen...

Trump and Approach Are Superficial

Started at beginning and point that is initial,
His approach and appearance are superficial;
Trouble up stirred,
With each word;
Statements Trump made had been prejudicial.

I don’t know what the problem is

But one thing I can say

We need to get it together

In the very best way

It doesn’t make any sense

That lives are being taken

For idiotic reasons

Killers in the making

How can...

Why does flight feel more lightly entertaining,
yet less engaging,
than fighting?

Laissez-faire thoughts lighter
than ponderous confronting ruminations,
Why?

I would not expect a babbling infant
to understand why
WinWin cooperation deeply entertains
for learning health-enhancing cultures,
ego/eco-therapeutic religious experience,
bicamerally democratic government,
multicultural compassion-nurturing
Golden Rule...

Day Mind
Night Mind

A door is open.
Through the doorway,
I see a wall weakly
illumined.
A distorted shadow slouches,
menacingly along it.
I close my eyes,
my toes grip 
the carpet.
I do not want to see, 
what I despairimgly
believe will be,
the cause...

BORN AGAIN FREAK

Was a virgin
long time
waited until he
pulled back that veil;
He kissed me for the first time.

I, never wanted to be
Handled nor touched,

I became weak, for the musk of him.
Innocence replaced with...

They all say it is wrong to go against this,
and I have only...
