2071 - Big Brother Watches From On High
2017 - year zero
They loaned to the poor, who cannot repay.
They stole from the old, who cannot recover.
They sold our future, for better or worse
and made our children pay.
They schooled arithmetic to be feared.
They tutored...

The Queens Conjurer
All things that glow and move,
all things that change and pass,
I gather their delight

Morning Musing
I remember that day
a early spring day
cold snow melted away
and grass turning green
long cold winter gone
days of shivering cold
dormant brown grass lay not
beneath crystal blanket cold
spring task was before
needing to be done
in cool early morn
before...

Billy Jimsonweed and the Magic Icicle
It never melted for starters
but then you have to start somewhere
the Magic Icicle could talk
it had humors jealousies aversions
deep rending tides of love
and week long fits of giggling
It had been crafted by Father Frost
The Emperor...

Goodbye and Good Riddance Former Ersatz Trumpeting President

donning sheepish pirate(s)
at heady roiling waterway
fending off trolling rapscallion
much more thrilling
than watching cabaret

Because You'Re a Poet, That's Why - a Repost

he stands listening to the din of the audience
searching their seats for popcorn crumbs
while roaming hands brush against the legs
of those sitting...

Enrolling as a pirate is much harder than it seems,

You have to...

Pushing Spring
If I were to decorate the winter trees,
arms gangly gray in a crooked freeze,
with leaves of mint sugar and paper mache flowers,
how long do you think it would take?
I would need ladders and pulleys and...

In Old California 24
Now further conversation taking place
described the safe, best way of stacking hides.
Ingenious method used filled hold's small space,
accomplished by the means of pulleys, glides.
One might think way could weaken vessel's sides.

The Clock
Gramps had a Sunday rite,
It was quiet, perhaps trite.
In his chalice a Bloody Mary,
As solemn as a seminary.
Took the goblet and a crank,
To his great Big Ben clock.
Slowly wound as he drank,
When done, he’d...

Delaney's Ascent
Delaney laboured and wheezed up fourteen flights
of stairs;
The block elevator was locked down again
In snarls of singing, zinging wire and
Squealing cogs and pulleys, all rusted
In sooty shafts of drip-dripping water.
No matter how much bellicose, reactionary...

White Cotton Sacks
The old stone gristmill stood like a monolith,
its massive wooden wheel creaking and turning
dipping into the swift waters of a dammed-up creek.
Inside, everything was covered in a fine white dust
amidst a cacophony of cogs,...

Saturday Morning Ritual
Commingled human sweat permeates the atmosphere.
Grunts and clanging iron greet the ear.
Leotard clad women, without body fat, spring.
Pumped up upper bodies of tattooed men expand.
The smoothie bar dispenses recovery drinks.
Stationary bicycles travel miles, without leaving...

Lillith's Passing
What is it called?
When thousands of bats
Come pouring out the mouth of a cave
For the black gold of sunset?
Like that
The late autumn leaves tear from their branches
In a spooky warm gale
Misplaced this Halloween night
Buries the...

Everest-Altitude With Attitude
Glittering diamond summit,was only one day away.

Evaluating patience and a knack for fearing fear.
Drive ice-screw into crevice with the summit drawing near.

I refuse to think of these days as melancholy.

In Barracks
Germany, 1964
In barracks bare of beauty
I lay restlessly in bed. Around, a rife
of lifeless characters
from some Saturday charade
sullenly invite me to their ghastly parade.
I merely pull my blanket higher up
and blatantly yell out "Shaddup!"
A spot...
