Premium Member Water Hand Pump

Water Hand Pump
I wonder whence the pipe goes?
Underground Niagra, Mississippi or Caspian Sea?
Working the Up-Down Handle like Punching a PIN,
A Subterranean ATM of Cool Crystal Quench,
Sometimes the Handle Ignores Rapid Work,
Just as Licking a Stamp, I Have to Prime,
Give to Get, Down Goes Wet, Up Comes Sublime,
As If Sensient, What Goes Around, It Understands,
Physics Doesn't Play Games, Invest the Good,
Even Salt Water Brings Up the Sweet,
Not Machine Psychology but Leather Swelling,
Sealing the Gap Between Bucket & Sub-Dwelling.
Now Primed, Pumping Towards the Ground,
Creates Cavity 'Tween this World & Maybe Hell,
A Spurting Fountain Results from the Well.
If Only All Life Were Clear & Transparent,
Nature's Dignity Comes from Innocence,
In Figuring Things Out, I Stand More Erect,
Glimpsing, Enacting Cause & Effect.


Premium Member The Werewolf

A lesser moon I can quite well withstand,
A gentle crescent grants a gracious smile,
To all the world, an honest helping hand,
And friends well know I'll go the extra mile.
But then there comes that shining disk of hell,
And buried in a hole, I feel its flood,
And then regret my wit and sharpened smell,
And all that lusts the rip and flowing blood.
And one may say I should not be a wolf,
As wolves have said I should not human be;
I am the thread that spans across the gulf,
The day and night it seems the world must see.
And so there lies the deep divided one,
Each half despising what the other's done.

To Find the Open Skies

Forest fires in Canada
leave a haze in Iowa
and I can’t help but think
of how they have consumed
the land.

As I go for a Sunday drive
a wall cloud of smoke
in the sky before me
hides the sun

but the river
is at my side
rippling reflections
of sky.

A voice inside says
we must embrace
before it's lost
as I count the miles.

I round a curve
and for a moment I see
the face of someone
I loved as she smiled,
a memory unveiled. 

Yet I know 
fires are burning
out west
a story played out
every year.

I look into my self
and feel assured
as the sun emerges
and opens the skies.

    for every charred trunk
    that falls  a seed
    left in its wake

Premium Member Double-Edge Sword Part 1 The Fever of More

In the quest for what is "more," a concept vast and deep,
A universe of wanting, from which we laugh and weep.
It is the second helping, the dawn after the night,
The ever-present yearning for a more brilliant light.

It’s the whisper of ambition, the shout of endless greed,
The planting of a forest from a single, tiny seed.
"More" can be the knowledge in scrolls of parchment bloomed,
The architect's bold vision, from ancient wisdom groomed.

It is the steady building of a shelter from the storm,
A harvest’s golden bounty, to keep a family warm.
It is the tinkerer's candle, a drive to innovate,
To push beyond the boundaries and seal a better fate.

But in the brain's deep pathways, a different tale is told,
A story of desire, that's powerful and old.
With every gain and getting, a flash of golden light,
A chemical reward that burns away the night.

The mind is then conditioned, it seeks the thrill anew,
And "enough" becomes a phantom, forever out of view.
And so the ruin follows, on this relentless quest,
When "more" becomes a fever, a sickness in the breast.

The miser counts his treasure, his knuckles pale with fear,
The glutton feasts to bursting, but satisfaction's never near.
It is a hollow hunger, a chasm in the soul,
That swallows joy and contentment, and takes a heavy toll.

Premium Member contradictions

I’ve inherited contradictions - which could be genetic, original-personal failings, or the result of family dynamics - those are like the background radiation left by the big bang.

If you’re in school long enough, you take a lot of psychology tests. In my psychological makeup, a drippy sentimentality uncomfortably coexists with a cat-like indifference. This is probably my French cultural inheritance - is it too late to add that factor?

The seedbed of my current cognitive dissonance is time - I don’t have a lot of time for other people’s issues. Please accept these earnest, unfiltered insights - even if they are laced with caffeine.

I finally got some graded papers back - I wondered if they were shredding or recycling them. I did ok. It was an electrifying moment in an otherwise indifferent week.

Let’s wax somewhat poetically…

I’m loving the Université.
The architectural spaces,
the concertante ways people
move through functional areas
and the layers of differing sounds
- the heard-like, instinctive responses
to the triggering abstractions of universal signage
- going up or down, yes, no, stop, go -
that send us in well-practis'd directions.

I find the colour and movement,
the fashion mix of high and low cultures
lush and satisfying but you can never get
a cup of coffee large enough.

enough of THAT.

I’m not a poet at all. You’ve heard of method actors? Well, I’m a method writer. I fully inhabit my one and only character who, in turns, charms, repels, embarrases and delights me - just like everyone else in my life.

Would you buy defining yourself, in little vignettes, as an audacious act?

I write ‘flash fiction,’ I’m told, because it presents only one person’s perspective - but I do it with forensic precision - and present it all with the narrative negligence that defines my work - it’s art, people - on a time budget.

Premium Member Geology and the Other Ologies

Geology, geometry, biology, biography
Anthropology, psychology, geography, photography,
Psychiatry, psychometry, cartography, graphography,
So many ol-ogies and og-Raph-ies, so little time.

Yet am I studying any of them?
Not today. Today I am sitting in my lazy girl,
Watching a year’s worth of a designer show.
I have been starring at other people working like mad.
Learning nothing but as it is my day off, not feeling a bit bad.

The ologies and ographies can wait another five years or so.
When I retire and I have watched every design show,
This is when I can study all the ologies and ographies.
So leave me alone today if you please.
