Facilities that claim they recycle spew nothing but rubbish
Facilities that claim they recycle spew nothing but rubbish
as does yours truly,
whose ecological ethos
goes out the window
into the cold freezing iceland
prompting the following balderdash.
Upon the advent of an unexpected inspection
slated for tomorrow January 24th, 2025

An Aphoristic Self-Portrait
As a writer, people are my vocation.
As for humanity, men, women
And other abstractions,
Their interests constitute little more
Than my hobby; I can only deal in people.
As soon as I start dealing...

The Spaces Between
No Particle Theory can ever be Unified –
for there is always the space between...the
unknown that separates while binds us
in a matrix of primitive wonder. Dark
Matter is only dark to those accustomed to one
light...for those...

Mutual Aggression
in the public sphere
where all the nosey eyes peer
willing to take photos with their little phone cameras
all ready to post them on face**** & twatter
looking for reasons to feel important for
5 seconds, as the...

The Purity Wheat Domain
Hectic red steadfast on earth and anchored fast
Caught in the beginning of the end of working days
To yield a common profit from the land as harvested
On beams of yellow sun light set in motion in...

Thy Golden Globe
Wear your gown of golden glow
I’m shallow without your halo
Penetrate my limber' with your warm rays
Unfold into my everlasting Arms
Leave nothing to the red carpet at your feet,
But the footprint of your shimmering heat
Shine like...

Lady of the Night - I
You were born in a war ravaged state
You lost your man to the caprices of fate
You fell prey to your wayward ways
Victims of betrayal, greed or circumstances
You were drowned in the tide of darkness
Depraved incidents...

Broken Bottles
I remember as a young child,
sitting on the stone steps
of my South Philadelphia
neighborhood,
Inquisitively witnessing
the massive amounts
of scattered debris,
sprinkled across
the concrete sidewalks
& black asphalt streets...
Like a nuclear waste site
of embittered souls in retreat,
from something I had...

Plastic
i once had a girl who was
kind

best I ‘de ever seen
we skipped and jumped
and sang with joy
shared ideas
and played with toys
everything was hunkey dorey

Concert
We gaze
The rock star serenades us
With platitudes
Neither near or far
Though only attainable
Appreciated
By submission
By admission
That you will never be
Never wander
Never wonder
For they've performed the
Magic for us
Catapulting rage into
Sweetened sirens
Alert
Only to string us down the toxic path
Of...

The Goddess of the Severn
Pulses drown saturated elvers
As a crescent delivers it's catch
White bellied roaches slap and disperse
Pierced and broken suckers latch
Flushed forearms lock with a match
Bleached fingers curl fiercely
Cartilage and rods attach
Each standard raised taking a liberty
Vectors...

Congressional Values
I watch our liberal congress with little admiration
As they show their family values to our entire nation
They say if you don’t have time for children
Because you’re in a hurry
Just murder them before they’re born
Then...

Homeless
The lawyer
who could eat your lunch
ate his quickly
on a cold outdoor bench,
when a revealing breeze
introduced the pungent odor
of his new neighbor.
The steely-haired vagrant’s
rumpled visage
acknowledged by
a right honorable disdain,
he quickly opined
one loses the...

Seeding Clouds
We did not speak of rain;
only the wish that our love
could be again.
The air was bone-dry,
with only the merest glimpse,
of wispy cloud remnants,
in the sky.
But, our thoughts, hopes and wishes
coalesced to form empty
puffy,...

Dangit
I swept the floor, but it's dirty again...pretty much what I expected.
The accumulation of dirt and grim is something safe to have projected.
If cleanliness is a thing which one truly desires
Then cleaning is an act...

The Mourning Path - St Louis Cemetery No 2
A tattered Calico traverses the crumbling corridor
dissecting a row of dilapidated sacred structures,
each uniquely indistinguishable from the next.
The wind carries an eerie refrain
as it whistles through the splintered stones,
white-washed to harbor their degeneration.
There's a fragrant...

Empty Platform
The subway platform is empty,
posters, the occasional bench
a fire extinguisher in a locked box,
over-stuffed trash receptacles,
the usual graffiti.
No people, the strangers you travel with,
all those commuting shadows
that you hurry by -
an absent factor that keeps...

On a Moonlit Night
peering on the window, water apple leaves
sway with the breeze, dancers of the night
in green veined fingers cast quirky shadows
against the cream-colored concrete walls
beneath them, i turn to the porcelain cup
in my hands, whirling...

Silhouette In the Sky
Could I be one of the stars in the picture you see?
I'll settle for being part of their light that glitters and gleams
I'd rather be part of the sky without epidermis or features
Where the attraction...

Be the Blessing You Desire
Be the blessing in the way people rejoice
When you bless their day
With compassion and empathy in vivid voice
To wipe away rows of sorrow from their lives every Saturday.
Be the blessing in the way people smile...

I Open My Eyes To See
I feel like
I am all alone in this world
with eyes
watching my every move
you might think that
I was paranoid
but every time I open my eyes
to see
someone is responding to me
answering...

Among Us
With a white light that nobody saw
she began to walk
among us.
Watching, listening, observing the flow.
As she saw love she grew brighter
yet still unseen
trod carefully.
A silent advocate, amalgamating a heart.
"I love you", "Darling", "My Sweet",

A Life Touched Briefly
I think about the moments
as they hover, make contact, disappear
as if forever might prove
to be negotiable; there was
exchange, not so? Something
about recall discerns a somewhere
with receptacles--perhaps for visionaries,
but they do not die.
Between the...
