Three Colored Pigs
Once upon a ZeroTime
we suffered great terror and loss.
People,
animals,
and plants
refused to speak kindly with each other
because of a Big Bad Wolf
named Ms. Climatic Change
by her delightfully demented transparents.
Most all credible scientists in that day
were...

Fire Cypher 2 For My Haters
This is a lethal ink injection.
I know I’m blessed to have rejection
Haters in my life
only lead to introspection
Understand
I’m still the man
Who are you to question
I agree to disagree
With all your...

Loving Jose
Yes, Jose,
this is another love letter
from anthroprivileged me
to LeftBrain dominant you
for multicultural us.
I'm still here
sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a weathered
wooden platform
for my monastic tent
Now folded
and masterfully squeezed into its...

INTANGIBLE ASSET – The Transcript

Wisdom
Learning helps us understand who we are
Our capacity to grasp an idea
Gives us the ability to
Transform our environment
Our know-how used to good effect
To conquer is to try and
Learn the innards of a thing
Knowledge gives...

Curiosity
Still at times I can be an adolescent, a bit of a brat
I'm always questioning things, though I'm suspicious
I admit there's time's I've been ignorant to even chat
Yeah quit a lot of the time I've...

In Thanksgiving - For Ethno Workers
Thank you, for excavating from dead tongue
Under midden of lies
The archive of our own history
The outlines of identity
So we under obscurity white sheet
Could find resurrection of self
In another voice oppressed
But unconceding of its comeliness.
Before I...

Lifes Journey
You know its so short lived but do we not think or realise
Who gives it a second thought, it's gone before your eyes
It sounds cynical your born, you live, you die, end of story

Quantum Theology
Quantum Theology
By Mark D. Stucky
Spirit filled the formless void
before matter and energy were born,
before infinitesimal became infinite,
when, from a singularity, a speck of nothing,
the biggest bang birthed everything.
And still the Creator of the quantum...

The Rare Gift of a Second Chance

Cross Roads
Again it’s another of those episodes
I hate being in the passenger seat
Now we’re back at those cross roads
It’s like we always render on repeat
So where do we now go from here?
Motor stalling, can’t we move...

Orange Angst
Last week I was shopping for ideas on the corner of metaphor and allegory,
Rummaging through a pile of discount words to help me tell a story.
A shelf of very expensive words caught my eye because...

Mystic Physics
Mystic Physics
By Mark D. Stucky
When God said, “Let there be,”
ALL erupted from singularity.
The event horizon couldn’t bind Him.
Space and time required Him.
The Creator cued the quarks
and cast quasars across the sky.
The Programmer wrote the code,
and...

Ardingly Elegy

The clock tower tolls the passing of the day
The bleating flock wends home neath darkening sky
The Judges homeward plod their weary way
And leave the world in peace at Ardingly
Beyond from the madding contests’ noble...

Cold Water
It feels like
cold water was just poured on me.
Okay, I’m awake now;
you’ve got my attention.
Are you telling me
to simplify my life
rather than take on complications?
So, remind me:
what am I reworking, and...

Hourglass of Life
My eyes nervously cast a side glance
At the big clock on the wall above the table,
Marking the time in my mind,
Anxiously dreading sleepy time for all:
The darkness,
The quietness,
The aloneness.
Only with my thoughts swirling like a...

Ode To Art
Is there a last word
of Beauty? A Definitive?
Perhaps a perfect chord,
replacing all, both past,
present and future – ceasing need
for the reworking of tune-able vibration –
our constant tufting of soulful eyes
and ears...the rehearsing of...

Put Me In Coach
I've practiced this moment 10,000 times
It won't go away instead, it magnifies in my mind
Late nights and early mornings... I know them
Working, honing, tweaking, and reworking... I embrace them
Put me in the game,...

Stuck.
Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and ov
Stop that.
Bad habits, that’s all they are.
Stuck.

Overthink Words That Are Said
Do you ever doubt what other folks say,
Do you mistrust their intent?
Do you walk around reworking their words,
Living a mental torment?
Overthinking short bursts of simple remarks,
Overthinking the words that were said,
Overthinking those...

Reworking the Threads
Old cotton knee-Lenths
smell; an old book of poetry smell,
Unseen socks
between the matrass and the ground floor
of nowhere,
where discarded apparel through the ages,
molders unread.
Daily we wash the stains off
our words,
once in a while
we recover them from

Rework
On many endeavors which I’ve undertaken,
a significant amount of my time was spent.
Explaining things to avoid being mistaken,
later to hear “But Tom, I thought you meant”.
Time spent reworking isn’t time well spent,
so I endeavor...

Auto writing Ghazal
The calendar date, red-inked into alpine
white vellum: a blood-letting, a quilled line.
Old ducks [politically incorrect] featherless,
waddling like myself, fall neatly into line.
"It is time," I say to my left-brain, my right-
hand, "to auto write a...
