alive and well seeking gullible guys
(once upon a time just like me),
who experiences close encounters
of masterly baited entrapment
on Facebook Messenger
and most likely...

“Frequency” 

we are separated 
from the others
by a thin membrane

electromagnetic

we are receptors
unignited ununited
only tuned into our own

frequency

existing to be lit

reaching delicately 

that which we do 
and do not see, 
believe

answers embedded
in tablets read...

who described our catastrophic tolerance of disvalues for others,
situations we would never tolerate for ourselves,

I question my own interplay of psychology and political science.
Does this too facilely root analogy within ecology of climate health v pathology?

Poems about Children III

Miracle
by Michael R. Burch

for Jeremy

The contrails of galaxies mingle, and the dust of that first day still shines.
Before I conceived you, before your heart beat, you were mine,

and I see

I heard two distinct voices in the night,
Conversing amongst themselves most eagerly
They whispered like children in excitement
Their sardonic mouths sung many savvy tunes
It was Death I could perceive, defending me,

They had kept me imprisoned there for three full days,

of the MessiahMentor's Other Great Commission.
