Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely

Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid...

Saturating the atmosphere

He googled me
Between the rims...

Stretched taut across the...

established with green permacultural designing

Who are you most longing to become?

How we answer this is different for an ancient rooted tree
than for a recent immigrant
searching for a niche of stable self-sufficiency.

My African-American
young adolescent daughter,
since she was age five
needing a therapeutic home and family,
with Oppositional Disorder
and deviantly diverse neural-cognitive communication patterns,
would have voted for Donald Trump if she could.

In large part,
I suspect and fear,
because she is...

Teeming and brimming with green bile
Enemies of progress plot from an evil thought
The downfall from a high wall isle
Against a progress protagonist caught

Up in an intrigue driven in seas of darkness
So black they defy illumination...
