Unspoken Dream of Someone Else

It felt like an unspoken dream of someone else.

It was a memory of Lisle, IL, quite a while ago.
I was waiting at the train station, to be picked up.
It was almost dark, and I was waiting. And so is a lady.
At least I thought so. And then I realized something.
She was not waiting. She was not there, not at all.
She looked at me in the eye. I was not at all comfortable.

“And the American dream!” She shouted! 
I jumped from the sitting area. I was startled, anxious.
No trace of my car yet! And She went on muttering, 
Which almost seemed a monologue, she is talking her mind.
I had to believe it has to do something with her way of talking, 
That she is not waiting in that train station, not waiting for anything.

She had white cloths, not clean enough, and a bag with her. And a look.
It was almost evident that she was angry. Only that is true. True enough to panic.
I am drafting this, decades later. I am dragging moments from my pandora box.
I hated myself then. As, it felt like an unspoken dream of someone else, unknown.

Premium Member Pandora and Her Library

Pandora’s library is an eclectic group of gorgeous well-loved things
Dragons, gargoyles, faeries, fantasy books that lead to diamond rings
There is a whimsy and cherished feeling that cannot be denied,
For within Pandora lives her inner child, with a smile wide

Pandora is ageless, this coffee mug collector, who loves her books.
Missives of romance and poetry. some collected for their pretty looks.
She has a shelf of her childhood picture books also, from her mother.
She has not kept any missives selected by her blood-thirsty brother.

Her world is upside down fun, enthusiasm on a pogo stick.
She keeps herself alive and well, and lays fantasy on rather thick.
Her library guardians - gargoyles and dragons, come along at night
She will be sneak reading next to this bookshelf with a red flash light

Yes, under the fluffy bed covers, she can often be found.
Not making a peep, not making a sound
Remembering how often she had to sneak, book-bound
As she read well into the night, when her folks were around.

Yukon Call Me Panic

Vane glorious and absolutistic,
     though I defiantly,
     cavalierly, and blithely attest
Yukon bet your (laugh-in) sweet bippy
     mine acidic breast

houses anarchic, anti-poetic ballistic,
     barbaric, and bubonic
     cannibalistic demons within thy
     safely guarded Pandora chest
atomic cesium clock

     timed to trigger avast
     burst of anxiety, frenzy, and 
     (What me worry 
     Alfred E. Neuman) blast
ting mental quietude at most
     inappropriate, inconvenient,

     inopportune, out classed
adrenaline rush, nausea,
     palpitating heart, vertigo
besieging, corrupting,
     endeavoring fractured arrant

cleft daemonic gripping
     hellishly psychic chant
rendering unto sieze hoar,
     a choking vise grip extant
yule hiss sieze indomitable

     banshee fully controlling grant
diabolic, dogmatic, and dynamic,
     anguished corporeal ache
easily, egregiously, and emblematically,
     exemplified historically

     graphic fatalistic, and ecstatic coup,
     (koo), when I caused furious frantic flight,
     and/or fight betake
king angst causing just desserts
     for Marie Antoinette,

     who got her humble pie cake,
thence dispensing with formalities,
     where a joshing drake

     trouncing, and triumphing tranquility
     for fifty three Tuesdays,
thence sea king punishing psychotic
     pre pound payment
     basking in glory (re: gory us)

     amidship crashing quays
music to mine ears hearing plaintive neighs
high pitched straining
     vocal chord hamstrung keys
regaling oceanographic
     lambent hagiographic essays
and keeping at bathos bays.

Premium Member Butterflies In the Snow

I was surfing the internet this morning…and among the stories in a world of woe…
there on the page before me…someone posted a picture of a butterfly in the snow.

And I thought as I sat there hoping somehow…our leaders…peace into our life would bring…this butterfly is also hoping…that winter will turn to spring 

And I started thinking about nature and her beautifully varied kaleidoscope 
of examples she sets before us…to remind us there is hope.

A little starling flying against the wind…a rainbow stretched across the sky…
flowers growing up through stones, the metamorphosis of a butterfly.

An acorn hoping to become a tree…should evoke in us hope’s power
Sea turtles racing to the sea…a new sprout about to flower.

A bird singing in the darkness…hoping for the sun and the start of a brand new day
An new-born baby’s hopeful cry….opening presents on Christmas Day

We all know the name Pandora…in one story of Greek Mythology she’s the star…
the woman who unleashed evil into the world…by opening a jar.

(Yes it was a jar the original Greek mythologists created….
but somewhere in the 16th century the word was mis-translated!)

When Pandora realized what she’d done…realized the world would be forever stained…she quickly shut the jar…where inside only Elpis, the goddess of hope, remained.

The ancient Greek mythologists used this story to remind us in a world where it’s hard to cope…to remember, just like Pandora, we always carry hope.

So when my hope begins to fade…when I think evil has progressed too far…
I remember Elipis, the goddess of hope, who Pandora’s carried in her jar.

And on other days when the news is bad…and I’m feeling la little low….
I’ll think of birds who sing in the darkness…and butterflies in the snow.

The Day Democracy Took a Hit In Nz

Twice parliament asked the people,
Twice the answer was loud and clear from the people,
Twice there was a no to Euthanasia by the people.

Twice I joined the people in Select committee,
Twice I joined the people to give up time for free,
Twice parliament summed its nose at democracy.

Twice the parliament misled the majority of people,
Twice they bowed to the minority of people,
Twice they denied democracy to the majority of the people.

Thrice now replaced twice as now there appeared a private members bill,
Thrice now those who had said no in select committees, felt ill,
Thrice parliament asked democracy to write a will.

Thrice democracy almost died,
Thrice now has changed to four with an election eyed,
Thrice that is now four will the future of democracy decide.

Now the people for or against will have their say,
Now the people for or against will have to say yay or nay,
Now the people for or against will chose if Pandora will come in to play,
Now the people for or against will chose if her box will be put away,
Now the people for or against will chose if the lid is shut for another day.

Now that covid 19 has come along,
Now is the the time for those who were for, to say they were wrong,
Now as they look for they, who are gone, 
Now is the time when democracy needs to remain strong.

Now is the time for parliament to be bold,
Now is the time for a threshold,
Now is not the time for a minority to put the majority out in the cold,
Now is the time when the will to live through pain, is a sight to behold,
Now is the time to welcome democracy back into the fold,
Now is the time for pandora and her box to gather more mould.

Senate weaselin' words

mosaic-speak fungals thrall-truth up your nostrils
unmasked civil·a·tons 

square crotch per smile

poeta decepta leaks India unda bear

child wonda nuf crumbles Vatican busts
spangled in clown clothes 

bustled to dust

depravity's cavities coupes enchiladas
inflicting inflections on cartoon erections

so verge on my bliss-vittles "goose tinge" me plights
please translate dos colander's humanoid blights
thy nuclear nickel-sickle pickles delight

or do like Shrub junior said- just
go £ucking shop.

The Icy Mix Is Coming Down

the icy mix is coming down
got my applewood bacon and cheese hot pockets
got my cheddar cheese instant grits
got my hint of honey almond milk
yet i am still a bit hoarse

the icy mix is coming down
got my remote control
found a fairly new episode of house hunters
got my favorite place on the sofa
yet i am still a bit off the main course

the icy mix is coming down
set my tablet up in pandora
got my louis jordan station giving me eargasms
laid my weary body down in my favorite spot on the bed
yet i am still feeling a tad bit far from near

the icy mix is coming down
got the blinds open but ajar
got the attention span on the view but partially
got a maze craze space as filler for the rest of the day
yet i am still the unfortunate source of a malevolent misery because she is not here

Flow My Tears He Said

listen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NtbunQgEi_0



marooned …

she looked sad
when I stopped her
the action of a theory
almost mad as sure
determination grows
four . identification
a matter of when
we show
unification . politico
perfectus to socio
… it’s the order she knows
a pandora . a where now
of why she goes . she echoes
of bio . psyche . technico
the sixth
a scent undeniable
and undetectable
but for the few
….

she looked up
and knew
in his eyes
the truth
.

I’m out of time
genetically modified
to not show 
and I’m rogue
….

stunned 
and in stereo
her voice within him
let his mind say go

and she was gone
a para . sight
of entangled song
.

the names Callisto
she drove on
as he watched her
fade to colors unseen

” it’s where I’ve been “

he could hear her
a new horizon
unknown of when
she’d return

.

lines of dimension
distort in a form
unmentioned
a storm of disorder
in a Jovian doam
.
her intention
is to move in time

Premium Member An Unperturbed Mind

When you sort decades of electric cables from that box hidden away

It reminds of disentangling neurons haphazardly fired at random

	It’s a beautiful day and you’re in it among sea saw and hammer


Hundreds of screws in the tool box and all you want is a single unbent nail

Somewhere hidden under plucky wall plugs and skewed rusty hinges

	If life gives you lemons a power drill defeats convention


Nuts bananas and bolts mislaid in the fridge with washers and powder

Reveal the essence of an organized mind squished in the blender

	Bedlam chaos fragmentation or glorious harmony


Synapses jumping like fleas on the mindful grey patched neuronal carpet

Heavily worn by August the Clown because a well led life is a circus

	Knowledge pushed into action potentially in a meaningful way


Buttons in the haberdashery basket cased in creativity’s mad insanity

Knotted threads from life-long preservation of patchwork and passion

	Enmeshed a few screws yet again and a bubble gum wrapper


And that hammer once more testing reflexes deflected patella and callus

A pendulum for more esoteric days and a Tarot card next to the cross

	Saved for a rainy day of prayer and the coronation of dreams 


After decade long quest a screw is still a screw whether loosened or nailed

The sander of unfinished living grinds on to an egg timer’s analogue fashion

	And who an earth would prefer finding a rivet to crafting a poem


One possible morale of the story is that hardware plies softly myriads of magic

That in the wider scheme of things there are enough contraptions in the case

	And once they start giggling and straying Pandora is happy
