Sophistication of sinister online skulduggery...

lurks within the outer limits of cyberspace,
where dark shadows eclipse edge of night
indistinguishable from the twilight zone.

Within the Internet binary size weavers loom
shuttlecock whizzes (analogous to a bad mitten)
at speed of...

I seldom indulge in letter writing 
Because I consider it 
To be a cold and illusory 
Means of communication. 
I will only send someone a letter 
If I'm certain it's going to serve 
A definite...

Our convergent joint
The rallying  point
Mecca to the Pastors and Sisters
Jerusalem to the “Alhajas and Alfas”
Refuge to the weak
Shield to the strong
Nowhere on campus like our building

Life made more lively
Added  life to the lifeless...

When did business ethics
find roots in science
rather than re-connecting
humane re-ligion?

Thereby exempting,
divorcing,
earning a merely fair
and acceptable free economic pass
to continue extraction
exploitation
to build corporate empires
divorced from religion's incorporated
GoldenRule win/win ethics,

Including
family fair play
of sacrificially co-redemptive moral values
on altars...

Posthumous
I’ve seen death passing by,
looking through her glassy eyes,
silenced by her inward shrieks and dumb.
Escaping presence,
all the while stepping closer to clinch on.
Where the precipice submerges
failing you in flight. 
Shot with the last shot, 
there was to...

For my Professors Mary A. Schilling & Jean Cuvelier

Share with me the beauty of the pen, the smell device of paradoxical selection,
The inquisitive sense of hateful teachers; shared with me the major premise
Of the dogmatic...

Tomorrow’s history makers
Future record breakers
Are the infants of this day
They should be taught well
In order to lead the way

They should be taken forward
In the fear of God 
By the responsible one’s above them
Ye parents, guardians...

Born on March 26th 1874 in San Francisco
Where the streets are filled with dining alfresco 
At age eleven his father passed 
Then relocated to Lawrence Mass.
From the hills and the pastures blowing free
His words ran...

Yours is a horrendous bother
I decode one side, you obfuscate another!
I twist and turn, twist and turn again
Fingers engrossed around your parts, another twist
extirpates the other side! My enthusiasm refuses to wane.
I warp your shifting...

Yours is a horrendous bother

I decode one side, you obfuscate another!

I twist and turn, twist and turn again

fingers engrossed around your parts, another twist

extirpates the other side! My enthusiasm refuses to wane.

I warp your shifting...

The argument started, both parties saying their views;
both raising voices trying to put afterthought logic.
No chance to end soon though tension mounted;

Then one of them says, don’t interrupt,” as if she never interrupts;
The other says,...

A woman, or a girl,
hooded and hiding,
may pensively gaze down 
at the sun, or a sinking stone.
Or a man, not a boy,
neither hooded nor hiding,
may, in her stead, gaze, ecstatic, upward
at the corner of the...

Who Tell lies? 

 “Hey, this is the internet everybody lies.”
this was a throwaway sentence in a TV program
forgotten by the one who spoke the line or when
it sounded right.
It made me think is the...

Mother Earth
brings virgin birth
to hunting and gathering EarthTribes,
reforesting and rechorusing creolization,
ionizing and lionizing harmonization,
ergodic rhythmed and seasonally rhymonizing,
thermodynamic and radiant ecstaticizing
native First Nations
through Last Shall Be First ReCreations.

On the more RightWing side,
the commodified planet of...

Love’s passionate angel plucks romance’s harp,
studies scrupulously, keeps arrows sharp,

covers strawberries with chocolate silk,
searches for sensations - creamy as milk.

Cupid primps rose cups, paints valentine red.
He ensures, each long stem dozen’s, pure bred.

Then he searches...

Mother warblers, in song, return to their forage,
inspecting for insects, fresh from dusk's storage
at daybreak.

Scrupulously swooping, they return with mouths full
to their precious nest, rousing little chicks from lull
with dayglow.

Eager to increase, competing to feed,
beaks...

Excuse me if I appear to be abrupt

but I find your sensibilities and ethics corrupt,

a leader of people should be a visionary

scrupulously clean and who speaks with brevity,

not a person who seeks solely to divide
