A chopstick is just a utensil.
But a chopstick can
trigger that
uncontrollable laughter
and smiles at the dinner table.
When one snaps, we chuckle.
When someone can’t use them properly,
we giggle.
When someone eats with them,
we ridicule.

Chopsticks are an icon of...

One from the 1850s,
I bought it from a Scotsman thrifty,
on the windswept Isle of Skye,
its browning cover caught my eye,
old paper that’s weathered to tan,
each leaf thick and dry in my hands,
an imperious title-page,
and the...

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
At the turn of the moon
It purges itself of its sins,
Washing away what lives could have been,
Punished for failing biological duties.

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
Forever marked with...

Working behind the counter of a bookstore I have a chance to look…
to browse among our shelves and find the oldest books

I love the feel of them in my hands, to gently turn their pages...

A pixelated egg held in my hand,
A digital life I had command.
Three buttons small, a tiny screen,
A world within so bright and keen.

The beeping sound, a constant call,
Demanding care lest it should fall.
Hunger pangs and...

This kindred of separation
this breed apart
this top of the food chain
and its self distinction by the manipulation of thumbs

This arrogance of intelligence
with its pocket-sized reasoning of knowledge
and by default applies its logic
this incongruent species of...

I am self proclaimed real swinger
My name however, for a Nerd is a dead ringer
I have perfected the War Craft game
On Micro Soft computer applications, I can put anyone to shame
I am not into testosterone...

Destination of dreams

Maps are folded and re-folded into pocket sized
destinations of our own heart’s desires

Routes become numbers and numbers become moments
as the planning cycle, with yellow highlighter in hand,
presents a “look forward to” scenario 

Well...

So infantile you used to be,
so ample i loved thee.
upon request i granted,
at unorthodox times i created.

With pocket-sized in possession,
i snuffed out all oppression.
Freed you from heartaches,
did this for love sake.

You pricked me twice,
played me...

extensive vocabulary only used when needed,
to shock the perception of the prideful world you created,
simple...i hear...larger i see,
and you wouldn't dare bow your intellect you hide behind to be,
to push away the heart...the complexity of...

We met up for a coffee 
to enjoy a ‘little chat’ 
and catch up on the gossip
I guess most gals do that!

Chris gave me a bag of goodies
it sure gave my heart a lift
A puzzle...

PICturesque !!..

What is a painting!
if not priceless beauty
granting transportation
to dreamy zones

Pondering the amazing talents
Brush, hand and artist

A long sigh
awareness of feet floating
as he stands
relaxed in-front
this captivating piece 

Genuine handiwork


What is a photo!
if not a
fond memory

This lightning and thunder is a storm in my head,
A breath of wind could take it away.
Sometimes it’s hail, but often it’s rain
Always feeling like it’s here to stay.

Pocket sized thoughts, lots of impulsive thoughts

POCKET SIZED

We are all really- truly- very small
measured against Gods universal hall

Light travelling at 186 000 miles a second
incomprehensible vast distances….reflection

When in light years we attempt to measure
scientist rulers—5.88 trillion years would lever

POCKET SIZED

Scooping sea...
