Long Predictors Poems

Explain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, good-humoredly; 
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.

We once had a school of thought
among up and coming geneticists and historians
that the precursor to the regeneration of a species,
or even an...

Relationships are like farming,
if you don't plant the seed,
you'll have no crop to harvest.
Rumi (M. Mafi, trans.)

Investing is like farming,
if you don't play the game,

Economics is like farming,
if you don't play this...

Prisons fester further desecrating guilt by association
as churches
and synagogues
and temples
and mosques
foster sacred innocence through re-association,
communion of the wanna-be saints
and Bodhisattva suffering warriors

feel like monoculturing monotheistic prisons
of fundamentalism,
then our...

I wandered outside my conscious element of thought
drifting into wonderlust of dreamland sequences like photographs
as I inhaled fragrant winds gliding upon gossamer wings
of lace and...

I slip through the dark,  sleek, lank and lean
   shadowed, haze gray, red, white, blue unseen
        'neath the faint light of distant moonbeam.
I creep cross...

Irma Pulled a Fast One
By Franklin Price

Irma pulled a fast one
Just before I closed my eyes
Took a right turn to the East
To sooner see the sun arise

Was supposed to go to Tampa

She talks often of dusty surfaces 
and laundry, more
I think, these last months, of leaving 
the housework and me;
she tells in barbed epithets of 
past indiscretions and wrongdoings
attributed to the mechanisms of 
my capricious personality.

The Set out of the days light 
Comes the Set in of Darkness 
A resting time for day workers like me
Cool, calm part of the day
The Set in of sweet dreams or nightmare. 
Dead tree...

Water! Water! The entire landscape submerged
Grave silence! Except the torrents swift and huge
Intimidating sights, plains and valleys merged
Rushing above the tops of roofs with a surge

Clergymen discoursed it the Almighty's curse
The end of epoch, predictors...

Maybe there'll come a day in the future
When tourists flock to Canada for fun
They say that Florida will no longer exist

If I were an animal the great panther I would be,
Sleek and lean and shiny up there in my tree.
My claws of steel that strike with speed,
Only for food I preciously need.

The jungle my home...

Indestructible you

Endowed provocateur of origination

Forger of paths unknown

Awaken

 

Yesterday was an option

Today a decision

Tomorrow will come

Eventually

 

Head high

Shoulders up

Fear is perception

 

Defeat is an illusion

Perverse as it is

Fills a void

To incentivize the outcome of glory

You are certainly not to be blame

Children, Children their will know of your pain
Someday their too...
