In a sense
each person capable of understanding these words
and those who speak diverse languages together
are island nations
splitting in two
by love

or both.

I have been concerned about the U.S. island of fundamentalist Christians,
formerly part of the...

While there is no story at all
unless it has at least two sides,
when it comes to ego's narrative lines
and epic paragraphs,

as other than a one-sided protagonist story,
which others might...

Not too many decades out of college
I finally landed my first full-time job,
as a White House speech writer.

I know,
you would expect
I would not start at the top

It appears that Feyerabend presents a more accurate normative gestalt
for RightBrain epistemology,
how RightBrain solves chaotic puzzles,
while Popper is better for LeftBrain deduction,
diastolic evolving unfolding
of syllogistic logic.
Together evolving toward a dipolar truth
of balancing flexibiity

There once existed, upon this lovely earth.
A people, happy~ not possessed with dearth.
Depravity, destruction of cities, murder by injection,

Then~ an evil being and his unkind, infected mind!
With full knowledge, arrogant,...

grasping the reality  of the rude awakening

Sat in his chair, the tv still on
He’s not changed the channel for so very long
The message on screen says a shut down’s ensuing
But press any button to carry on viewing

The remote, untouched on the...

Sunday cockcrow nascent promulgate aural essays reveal,
laissez-faire luscious lustrous buoyant  raptures,
radio behemoth prompt to that untamed erudite fantasist,
me the one possessing rippled rampant penchant,
for titanic exploit extraordinaire beyond dimension heftiness,
 a stimulant patently innocuous...

Continuous cathartic resonance of black bashful veil,
imposing the darkest recess and its tangled tantrums amassed,
phases exist without problematic manifest intrusion illusory but for a while,
the reckless chilling bursts of wild incendiary angst a blight,
such burdens...

Dozing before take-off. Patients etherized and unable,
Evening  spread into the distance
Silly solitaire cards spread on pull-down table. 
I  hate toves with  imagined importance
Giving direction to momeraths who do not need  it....

Hello friend

Step inside this chatroom if you
find yourself with no else to converse
with but yourself

Start by clicking on the box that

about finding equality,
but little talk of what that means,
at least it seems that way to me.
People with jealous intentions
so like to throw around that word,
use it to justify...

We were nervous until trustworthiness was revealed.
Amidst the adjunct's misfortune by blaze wield.
They were heedless to our flaws due to their sway.

WISE ASS

You know this person!
In middle school his perfect sarcasm
seems funny and bold and  wise to our ears, 
makes adults and institutions seem hopelessly
inept, disingenuous, insecure 
By high school, however, his wise ass
negativity wins...

A PAIN CLOUD ON HORROR’S HORIZON

I’ve tilled the tired soil on which a torn man toils
I’ve tread the fettered flag on which an aspiring asp coils
I’ve stared into the face of ghosts, goblins and gargoyles
I’ve...

There’s Scottie in his chair
Tongue firmly in his cheek
Trying to wind up Old Noel, 
The highlight of his week.
Noel, over eighty, Veteran
Of the Korean War
Gives as good as he gets
And dishes out much more.
Gordon’s his...
