The Faces of Man

"The Faces of Man"



The faces of Man
transformative 
held in the hand 
of Mephistopheles 

blood sells white and red
pontificating with two fingers

consuming greed for 
want of everything
they meld into the
curves of their crooked bends

he’s come to...

Life's Vocation

If your life's vocation
were to plan,
design,
and co-govern
an extended healthy family
through cooperative ecopolitical incorporation,
what would your cooperative do?

Where does my cooperative live?
In the White House,
the Governor's Mansion,
the homeless shelter,
or right here in Business As Usual?

It doesn't...

Shadows II

Sitting here in the shadows while trying to contemplate what you are to me is a challenge
More so, whether I am pontificating what I am to you as you have gone silent.
In the past, I...

Dont See It Lady May

Don’t see it lady May….

 

Dark demon from the nether world,

From into-outer space was hurled,

And came by Dumbo jet,

He came to prey on lady May,

An older shiela, ninety say,

Who liked dem toy boys just a...

'Be Patient'

It took me awhile to comprehend 
  the true significance of "be patient."
     We've heard it all before,
        but it's funny how we...

My True Nature Stands Up For Herself

Pure coincidence that live sheep are exposed in a new atom test 
I do not think so, as I am sure I am not exactly like most of the rest.
Pure conjecture brings me into my...

The Real Macabre

beneath the thin veil required to

the gnashing of the teeth &
s/he does it so well that

Rapid Response

You think you’ve got rhyme but you’re blind
I’d go up against you any time
These here rhymes are so smooth 
people think I’m a mime
Vanilla cool collected 
I’m the definition of “sublime”
My words are complicated simple...

When Learning Health Care

We cannot listen
or learn easily
when we do not feel safe,
said the environmental science students
to their corporate sponsored teachers.

Our lungs cannot breathe easily
or our hearts beat steadily
when we are not sure we can trust
the anthrosupremacist resource
currently...

Mystery

God is met not as an object to be understood, 
but as a mystery to be loved  -attributed to Gregory of Nyssa
d. 19 July, 394

Crisp and white underfoot
crunching whilst I take out the bins:
It’s...

Panglossian Perspective

The following initially crafted approximately three and a half years ago and presently brought a  much sought after surge of satisfaction while meandering along the information superhighway.

Each time I heard her voice in writing or in voice, my attention was for her
Sometimes a state of silence...

Soupercilious


My Favorite Things comes to mind...


a random assortment, a jumble of words
a quotient of portions, quotidian served
quixotic strivings of the great deca-dense
obscured in meaning, eschewing all sense

visions and nightmares and hallucinations
erudite arguments, odd fascinations
old geezers...

Blowin Smoke - a Rant

Pontificating pin heads
laboriously tongue lashing
mandatory attendees
pundits, preachers
oligarchs of oratory
empowered by mad scientists
in twisted mind laboratory.
If everybody gets a bite
of a sandwich never ending
the masses will be sated
and we’ve controlled our spending
if everybody works for free
--that...

Polemics and Theatrics

Cult and trend and recalcitrance

But this I have to admit is beyond me

Pontificating politicians demanding penance
Pointing fingers at pimps and...

Speak No Evil

Six slovenly inebriated men engage in their regular crepuscular activity
nursing their beers with desultory chit-chat in the penumbra of a local restaurant.
One man, whose jealousy of those with opulent lives makes him the most cynical,

Forever the Square Peg

Forever the square peg
seeking entry into the round hole,
the smart kid pushing
when the sign says “Pull”.
wandering in the midst
of the hurried,
a dreamer adrift among
those who think themselves awake.
Viewing through the unfiltering eye
of betrayal, the betrayers,

Timberland

Wide the mirrored water stretched,
licking green upon the pointed pines, limbs sweeping low and cool.

The creek meandered, soft giggles escaping mossy rocks
where polliwogs swam, nearly, but not quite frogs, still sporting pubescent tails;
the adults pontificating...

Nothing Lasts Forever, Not Even November Rain

 Nothing lasts forever,
    not even November rain.
Not even the tired old bodies
      we are given to hold.

I remember how we spoke 
        to one another,
way back, a long time ago.
Pontificating like priests
    delivering our sermons.
We were boys, though

Honk

Principle's of space,

prosperity in grace,

property for punctually pontificating the pronunciation of the alien race-

A laughter so adorned it's grate!

Slaughter of the new age-
...and your daughter-
40 years from reaching the 4th grade,

what a wild cahoot all...

Toothless Dragons

Toothless Dragons


And so the toothless dragons roar
tepid flames of apathy staining the air
regurgitated realities revisited
picked at in search of sustenance.

Circling, they do the hating dance
feet spurred to movement  by heat
applied by flaming puppeteers
protecting the...
