Long Particulate Poems

Pleasant spring like day February 9th, 2024

A scent (and sixth sense predominates),
when apple boughs
and other aromatic flora
laden with blossoms and fruit
gently assail cilia of the nostrils,
aside from aiding distinguishing 
pleasant or unpleasant smells 
additionally incorporate...

When I was in High School I felt it. 
Then something happened.
Year 2001—
Fresh-ness…
Dr. Dre produced you.
You were fearless.
Slim Shady—
Eminem—
Marshall Mathers.
Colorless rainbows speckled eyes.
I know why I had a problem with you.
Jealousy…?
Rap envy was.
I wrote during...

Pleasant spring like day January 12th, 2020

Courtesy climate change
(think global warming),
I would never wish to exchange
unseasonable temperature
way out of range
far to balmy, undoubtedly
ole man winter
weather did shortchange.

Once thermometer readings rise
even smidgen one moost not minimize

Already the month

I. The ground fog that rises from dappled fields
Full of the scent of the earth and all living things,
Musky like dirt and fragrant like flowers,
Floating like wedding sheets,
Layers of microbes and dust, pollution too
Reflecting sun’s...

a turn in the current
     memory, you, swirled and swallowed
          by the eddies of moments passing

TIME
TIME
TIME

 

Time again; Time again and again; Time the sigil of violence, Time begets silence

 

TIME: 'twas the word was spoken

TIME: the line that has ended

TIME: the separatist guerrilla

TIME: the racking of gaunt mind, spuming...

Because of the puerile quality of my work, as you know I have been very 
reluctant to participate in any contests.  However, Garrison Keillor has
set up among his readers, a competition that I have...

Enumeration of Thought, within my entire being, as if to ascertain an exact molecular particle; of selectively predisposed choice. 

Pre-being molecules particulate, if as an exact enumeration of my entire dispositional thought selection. 

Predisposed ascertainment...

First off, I see that though invisible,
how infinitely precious that you are!
My universe is incomplete without you,
and will be forever, 
since you cannot be destroyed--
modified, perhaps, but so may anyone.

Indeed, by virtue of selection,
you are...

Only if I allow you-how to find the answer
we must enter a trance first. 
Run backwards in circles and sing that one song and dance.
That they speak of through speakers that pierce through virgin ears.

Chair Man 
He made a decision to clean the factory chimney out. 
Did he know it would be messy? 
I look out of my window and see so much smoke emanating from the chimney.

Decreased dissension 
grudgingly did abate
unclouded protests trumpet
Trump to abdicate
irrefutable proof generates
activist voices to accumulate
linkedin over Green Party 
blessedly to administrate

hoop fully figurative tide
will turn and aerate
political atmosphere whereby
progressive minds will affiliate
otherwise business as usual,
cuz spewing...

Flirty Tail Spinners

A glowing mist gravitates toward the earth
Golden particles move into a canal of birth
Electrically charged by an unseen force
In a honey like substance, follow their course

Each particulate holds a massive power of life
Arriving...

I peer out  from my sanctuary of filtered air
Each breath, a gift to the lungs
But just beyond, yellow clouds appear
Courtesy of the flora we all live among

I dare not venture beyond this bubble
into the...

Storm, hurricane, tempest, tornado, levantera, gale
Like shape-shifting werewolves and vampire wells, you whirlpool.
With gold, silver, and coal sand screens, the environs you veil
Like rounded, sub-rounded, mushroom-shaped mountains, you stand cool.

By building walls of dust and...

Deep within our mental state
Deep within that quantum place
That manifests in energy
Particulate piece by piece
In quarks we dream
In neutrinos we speed
In atoms we bounce and collide
In waves waves we role in brilliant light
Deep down inside
Where...

Residual finger pointer in an in-haunting, 
      instigator of an instigator taunting. 
   Infiltrator with sash of tendriled gas, or is it dust
  feeling in lusts, zealing...

In celestial pristine panorama of nothingness, 
primal photon restless in the vacuum milieu,
undefined in the cauldron of infinity.
Explosive singularity of the creation 
conceived matter of the God particles,
encrypting the cosmic algorithm of existence,
decoded in the...
