Long Pontificates Poems

Ancora in sogno vaga la mia mente
Nell’ignoto esplorando come Ulisse
Quando uno squarcio si apre immantinente.
Un uomo curvo col cappuccio nero
Che in tempi oscuri per la chiesa visse
Mi si rivolge in modo triste e altero.
“Per evitar...

"I put on for my city" is the latest hip hop song

and all but one has acted “Presidential.”

I recall, as a child, listening to adults discuss 
politics and presidents, as if they were in a class 
above the...

When people know you lack their ego
They assimilate in dens of evil
Sanctified swine proliferates
Condescending it pontificates
Assuming you're not with a friend
That leads you to what never ends 
That's when they know the gig is up

What sold was for millions as art so grand,
Was bought for a few cents at a fruit stand--
A fancy mall nor mart,
Nor place of art apart,
Nor was banana taped with swanky band.
But a joke so...

Alice in Wonder

Alice in wonder, landed a handful
From depths of a dryer eerily playful

Another sock missing, the dryer she’s dissing
A goblin within she fears is hissing

Disgusted by waste, calls Scotland Yard in haste
Thoughts of buying...

Me... closed box... death hangs*, 
Heartless dreamers can't see in
Bastards! Am I dead?


Poet's Notes:

Blue chips stared - boring
Appraising. 'Do you have anything 
to say?'
I stare back. Bristling. 
Eyes streaming.Of course I had opinions to 
offer -
I look around: solemn masks tinged with 
dissidence. My 
comrades - are we...

What a day, I'm blown away
Watch the sun disintegrate
As I lay and contemplate
Clouds of gray accumulate

Dreamt a dream, back in the day
Keep it safely locked away
Girl, it shines and never fades
Lives on love and prayers...

Blond in a corner
Scab-faced - face-chewer

Insidious narcissist
Asseverates feigns for empathy
Pontificates spiels on sobriety 

The carpet stained – the smell of sewer

A seventy dollar catalyst
Being passed – contained in glass
The anticipation is also the allure.

Derail –...

Academia blocks real knowledge,
  Native Peoples will attest

So many wrappings covering their lies,
  each field does then arrest

With logic and ethics pointing the way,
  their path leads further down

Young minds abandoned, thoughts...
