In youthful exuberance I become a culture bandit
Well exposed, but never really learning.
Modernity taking a toll as Papa and Ante chased the goods
For my sake they said... No mistakes... deed was good
Nanny TV with her...

The blind slide of Freudian slips
half and half cut the stack
face up so you can see the words 
you have written on the edges

I remember the day of my nine pitch inning.
Though it happened over forty years ago.
The day was hot, yet cloudy,very little breeze.

Some time had passed since I traveled this street
And arrived at the house that had been so sweet
Where children had danced and roses had grown
And my family and I had made it our home.
But I...

I'm noticing
you're not noticing
I'm starting to look for
what you've already heard
with anticipation
overpowering my internal anxious voice
with calm
and kind compassion

When Other disharmonious human voices

within my balanced EarthTribal range
of listening
for sacred...

I’m a southpaw,
one of those left-handed,
upside down,
have to curl my arm to write,
backwards individuals,

built specifically for...

have suffered wounds,

Self-esteem losses
for not being internally transparent
and externally vulnerable enough
for a holistic communion
of EgoLeft and EcoRight inter-hemispheric integrity
that...

"Runes"




All galaxies abandoned
within you dimensions
ancient and unfathomable
creating new raptures
borne through fire 
a desire to be closer
to gramayre glamours
gedwëy ignasia 
right handed
fiercely cast

here there is no element of water
though we flow like electricity
the mother and the...

What do you think?
Am I mentally ill, or am I just in love?
Am I right handed or ambidextrous because I can not be left handed.
If the sun was neither, then it would’ve dropped a long...

You’re to slap a customer 
Stubbornly sticking to a thousand
For an article clearly worth ten thousand

Before the living room wall came crashing down.
I sat in the living room as a child and frowned.
Reading in the dark and studying in the dark,
Hearing my dad say “turn on the light in there.”

Believe you will in what I say,

If I instil,

left hand on the painful cell, is gold,
to shift the pain by will.
