Long Presentations Poems

Where to begin
in the middle of cold and dark
winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time
of impeachment,
excommunication,
dormancy?

Where does this all rightfully

problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,
leftbrain dominant
either-or thinking
we are either thinking or...

Creative cerebral craftiness coaxes...

Childhood campy chimera curtain call
subsequently hinting (based on accuweather)
the approach of blizzard squall
so burrow under quilted cover y'all
until warm temperatures arrive when springtime

I would build a center for learning,
Working title: Community Wellspring
Where people would come to learn new skills and new ways

No one’s job lasts forever anymore.
We have no idea...

A pro-active journalist
is like a research-committed teacher
teaching and listening to cooperative research designs
and presentations.

The opposite of the journalist's deconstruction
of events
is reconstruction through predictive narrative.
Just as the opposite of permaculture's green activist
regeneration
is pathological degeneration
emerging from past...

Scathing these miscoloured orbs of sight, with incised rocks carved beneath

Concretionaries jagged edges of contagiums....

Painted upon the predominating canvas of perceptions dank, pasteled times!

So what has changed, this mosaic of histories collective collage?

For years when my wife was sponsoring forensic groups
Tasked me with "judging" high school oral presentations,

These holy portals to grace and absolution,
Into a stain-glassed sanctuary...

I was once bullied, beaten 
Burned and buried
With sneering slurs

I was an introvert
I gave them love
My compassion
I gave them all I had
They took advantage of me
And still I kept giving
And they took everything 
And left...

It is a horizon of dreams aloft in hope.
It is love, stirred with hate that drips need
to bleed us, heal us and force our tired cope.
It is a circle never ending, a line never bending,

And read- Memories Five Years Ago

Word Maneuvers in F Sharp Minor

As it goes, so it goes.
Imperceptibly.

Every newly innocent day
after complexly creolizing night dreams
I hear and smell and taste and see and feel
some thing
some co-related becoming
that more and less
kills me
with delight and terror,
that leaves and comes over me,
another weedy needle
in Earth's...

While keeping the progression of my mind at bay.
