Long Retraining Poems

A transitional skill
my Mom taught me,
good to use when I start to feel at-risk,
somehow 
anyhow,
whether in my relationship with her,
or with EarthDays more kosmic travels 
through naturally wild 
and domestic spirits.

Remember to ask permission

It is a strange dream
in which an animal rights advocate
is swamped with questions
from Chief Justice Roberts.

A vicious dog,
trained to attack humans 
with politically incorrect audacity
to trespass against his white supremacist Master,
has been imprisoned
and sentenced to...

Perhaps, she's expecting the same to reappear
Like before after her being to me kind and sweet,
Because of fear, I made a quick and hasty...

As I awake this morning
I remember a Barney song 
for my more oppositionally misaligned daughter.

I love you
and you love me
even if I couldn't realign my four B's,

and Branches,
and Belly,
and Butt, 
these four aligned
good government.

If you...

Climate change,
like most,
if not all,
unwelcome change,
too often violent and deranged
and hopelessly redundant,
remains conservatively controversial
as to who started It.

Yet this issue of inheritance
fades into insignificance
when confronted by our tsunamic evidence
of who is secularly
and sacredly
responsible for healing...

then there is no disagreement that can do us any injury,
but if we do not,
no agreement can do us any good."

Five years free and clean I’m proud to say

yet companies can only afford so much

We must be careful that we don’t become
As one dimensional as our shadow 
Life is an ever-changing thing
What we are today 
May not be what we are tomorrow
We must learn how to adapt
To the ever...

It’s a five-hour round trip, 
What with the ferry, shuttle, a
Twenty-minute walk, sometimes the bus,
Just to see him for a couple of hours. 
Sometimes he’s not doing well
Or is sleeping while I’m there.
It’s been such...

It was suggested that I plan my
Own funeral
The entities living on me
In me
Have ensured that I will not last forever

I lived quietly among my family for eons
Uninhabited
But never lonely

Then the entities came
Looking for virgin land
Wild...

Broken promises that were never real, and feelings that I no longer wish to feel
Whispers into my ear, late nights in the dark, are now just sad reminders left behind by nasty scars
Beautiful words that...

When love disappoints, does it mean that you're failure?
I've found more than once I just needed retraining!
Your heart feels a chill? Must their love be a surfeit
Does failure seem real though true friendship survives it?

The depth of her quietude
Fully resonates in him
He has silenced her for so  l o n g
He is content 
With her suppression.
He is the communication controller

taking the energy found in pain

going all out 
crushing doubt 
with ignorance 
to grasp the chances

Crisp clean air gently expanding my lungs
Infinite pigments of vivid dazzling lights
Painted illumination masterfully hung
Washing over my body and brain
Gradually tampering down
My intermittent slices of insane

Tenderly reposing my weary mind
I Lie my head where the...

Nineteen eighty four was late
Not quite when Orwell said
But slowly and in increments
They are getting in your head

They're trying to change your thinking.
Quite slowly day by day 
Affecting how you view the world
And, controlling what...
