Embarkation upon meditation...

Believe me you upon manifestation
regarding Das godaddy bing linkedin
with avast cosmic consciousness
self induced light hypnotic trance
I become enthralled

unless wife disrupts intent concentration
calling out "Matt...Matt...Matt"
bajillion times Googleplex
(slight hyperbole for literary effect),
subsequently courtesy

disembodied voices

“Tall Poppies, Cactus Flowers and a Girl Not Called Betty”



All the Flamingos were called Betty
on a crowded beach somewhere 

Well heeled stuck in the quick sands of time
heads held high

like

Tall poppies 
waving, long stemmed

they are...

"The Eagle has landed”

Apollo 11 lunar module named “Eagle”

dog gull announced successful landing
while voice of Ole Blue eyes did croon

in Sea of Tranquility on moon
sometime about high noon
halting advancing armies

Cold shower today - (early afternoon)
September eighth two thousand
and nineteen more challenging than June
dog days of summer test tolerance
to feel alive and bark at the moon

alone in the (suburban) wilderness
fabricating, envisioning crossing pontoon

It’s taken care of.
A friend of ours
who owns property by the Ohio river
has agreed to make use of her pontoon boat,
to take my ashes, to scatter them.

I have been working toward this, making plans,
arranging for...

With only a trickle of lifeblood left inside an empty lonely shell

Even rage had seized to flow from an insurmountable mountain

Leaking pontoon predicts my departure 
Impatient yacht chases nautical next
Mislaid terrain erases my history

Grim authorities in obvious places patrol 
Timidity prescribes aghast of tranquil abiding
Windwaken, I'm admiring the Sea of Revolt

Remarked upon in wonder, venture...

Relaxing sea ride with skies of blue.
Gentle waves rock our bodies like a porch swing.
Family laughing and soaking up the sunshine.

Further along waters start to get choppy
Waves grow bigger than a garden wall
Green emerald waters...

Not present at anything 
Everything is just the same 
Not many think about the portrait-less frame
I’ve had nothing 
Feet buried in my ways
The man I’m becoming oughta be a phase

lift moon high,
swaddled in clouds 
between
two slender limbs —
soothing wailele.*
pontoon boat

breaching the tall mast.
mahina orchestrates
the
cool sapphire cascade.

Abacus yacht boats pleasy
Banana boats are queazy
Catamaran boats squeezy

Jet boats so smokeeasy
Kayak boats much so creasy

As the world turns
The will within burns
Feelings of thought returns.

Gluttony, ego, spite
A slight bright bite
On-site in plain sight
No playwright
No exit or stage-right.

It was a terrible afternoon
There was a fly in my soup and no soupspoon
I...

outside for us freedom awaits,
no clearing a path down the driveway again
and no drifts piling up by the gate.
The cat ventures out with a wave of her...

Daddy, there are new moorings, come see!
There are shiny pontoon chains and cables,
braided ropes and colorful pennants.
The anchors and piles and buoys all new!

He arose groggily and without ambition
but allowed the boy to lead him...
