Long Pasteurized Poems

"The Beetlejuice Past Your Eyes"


“Well, where would you suggest I commence? Should we begin with the concept of pasteurize?”

This said to the earnest listener, who views the protagonist with a bon vivant confused expression. To...

I first ran across this term
Sacred Ecology
while reading Gregory Bateson
sharing a phylogenic
and holonic 
creolization
of ecosystemic language
with others speaking of and with integrity
as more primal and powerful
than competing WinLose psychic separations
of ecosystemic feelings-Right Sacred (0)Soul

"Understood"




My feet stand solemn
grounded they're barefoot 
sinking in the undertow,
feeling what’s real

my toes grip the past

while the slow words 
wash it irrevocably away 
the ego sashays
and hangs that Faust in the wardrobe

Locks it away
turns the...

A die hard fan I have been. Remember thinking, 16 games 17 weeks, even the Lions will pull off a win. Preseason champs yes we might of been. But 0-16 meant a lot more my...

the body has receded into a fetus,
imploding in thrombosis
in the parts also inside out
and in the microcosm of the eye
the retina retained a little or not at all
of the color that turned from gray,
from the...

He made me ponder my greatest fear
not ghosts nor goblins grinning ear to ear
The one that I really fear most 
is the one peering back from the mirror
Is he real or will he just disappear...

Karaoke life-pantomime emo
intentions bill me I am a
humofake------my ill 
allegiance to a low life
inconsequentially---defined
but altogether mesmerised to
count for the inner masses
intelli-gentzia unsurpassed
unpronounced, unguilded
and un-aforementioned assguides
drowned in altered dire straights
poised poisoned in a cerebral palsy intensity

The light!
it outshines, dominates and cannot be captured,
is the definition of its glory and pride.

But a substance,
as little and unseen as it is,
captures the light, processes and even converts,
so is my victory and testament.
The Chloroplast!

The teleprompter tumbles
in the clamorous migration
of doting interns and
banner-waving believers,
as the majority rallies
yet again toward fervor
behind pitch-black sound bites
guaranteed to stir frothing
complacency of thought.

As the seconds stretch in the
arc of gravity, the press core
readies their...

Hint of Autumn

Sunstar wakes, Aurora reacts,
As light skews her southernmost sky,
A roost rouses, a rooster crows,
Henhouse's wood handle lifts up.

A replete farm inclined to rouse,
Sunstar wakes, Aurora reacts,
Four-year-old farmhand gets...

Retirement blues you ask?
nothing of the sordid sort for me.
my life, a twilight zone of new 
cause and effect with no outer
limits of things to do---no negative
schisms of a bored being waiting to

THE HAUNTED CABIN

Now the cabin that we call earth, was not always a cabin.
There was a time when nothing decayed, a time only of sterilized 
Molecules. There was no smells, no disease, no flowers, no...

In this world we criticize
When will we realize
That sometimes we should fantasize
Instead of ostercise

We try to commercialize
And revolutionize
And even capitalize
When all we should do is harmonize

In this world we colonize
And some terrorize
And then pulverize
And we...
