Long Panaceas Poems

Figurative paralysis laid waste body electric of mine

This is Spinal tap 
bamboozling, binding, bleeding, bombing...
ripped from every dog eared 
and book marked page
recounting latest ill fated fiasco, 
now peppering my life and hard times

"The Emperor’s New Clothes"

We write about beliefs
our prayer flags flying 
like chrysallis books on a branch 
of those higher deities we trust, 
submerged, we are always listening 

in our quiet hours of sleep
mostly when 3.33...

my agent grew nervous
when he discovered
like the rising sun 
on a sea of shark fins
that one must gauge and become the gauge
what is it that heralds an improved model
claiming to have superior knowledge
my hospital masturbates...

Prevarication permits pretend perception, presenting
piquantly piqued, pimply pimping playboy, plucky
pulchritudinous previously pusillanimous, prevalently
puckish, psychic packman, pokemon playing proletarian

puppeteer pygmy, peevishly punky, plummy, plumy,
pompously pushy, pampered, prefabricated pinchbeck,
pokily plying plowshear, plodding peregrination, pied

Thankfully, another American election cycle has come and went,
Providing folks across the land their opportunity to vent.

-Once upon a time II-

In a separate realm
Where cloud rains
Where dreams 
Are dream
And due
To come true,
Where lives and lots
Are valued
Where chattels 
And acreage
Are own
Love, fuddle,
Pamper, behold
And hold.

Incredible deal
In this hectare
At this epoch
Is the...

When the coven of ill-willed women seek revenge,
from anyone they deem too big for their britches,
They go to the book of sorcery for witches,
In the book, they seek deliverance from women
who shine brighter than morning...

Conscientiously Combat Contamination:
  Pass punitive laws policing polluters
  Keep chemicals from killing crops like corn
  Plink and plunk pests with pure, perfect panaceas
  Segregate and shun smokers of cigars and cigarettes

 and slays a deep sleep - be that as it may;

The power of emotional panaceas
And the hours when we dress to switch us.
They sing, dance, and enchant us.
To escape into a dreamlike state.
And find calmness in lavender and azure. 
Silently spreading awareness.
That has been true forever. 
Regardless...

Sitting on a global seesaw
Play a universal keyboard
Show (don't TELL) discordant sounds

Kneel to Ultimate Disruption
Flood the zone with zoonosis
We've got your mess uncovered

O the weaponized muse!
Wait for humanity to make an appearance
March through grumpy gamma...

Must we insist that all life is worth living
When circumstances prove that's not true?
Some people’s lives depend on caregiving,
Their pain so intense they often will rue
The day they were born, and they realize
