Ah Tis Nothing Greater Than

Ah... tis nothing greater than...
malfunctioning heater on brisk winter day!

Thee particular date being
December twenty eighth,
two thousand nineteen, I saith
the Jack of all trades
maintenance technician

Kevin Blank said he would notify
HVAC expert in good faith,
yet to compliment clangorous din...
I called upon the ghost of Marley's wraith.

Thus despite compressor issuing
cacophonous, deafening,
ear splitting noise
clattering din louder
than convention of reindeer - 
doubled as all boys

(choir) followed by cavalcade
of santa claus, he employs,
the missus of course with equipoise,
and countless elves pressed
for service mending
broken brand new toys.

Why... yes twas during
recent brutal bitter cold spell
methought, yours truly got sent,
where absolute zero temperature
more frigid than hell

of course, I felt like human popsicle
management didn't give a lick,
no matter yours truly gave rebel yell
Billy me you, I immediately
yearned (some weeks back) for April
May, June... some tell
tale sign to alleviate pell mell

bone crushing polar vortex
preserved frozen awful
botox smile impossible mission to quell,
nor avoid frostbite 
to deep freeze every cell
millenniums later despite
climate changed dystopian future
thawed out body reason to kvell.

Forsooth mindlessly jabbering away
jaw frenziedly attempting to convey
how this schlemiel,
would be war re: not game to foray
toward distant forbidding terrain
fifty shades of gray,
alien unrecognizable – nay

boor hood of the late Mister Rogers,
nonetheless expressed gratitude
confessed, I unconsciously did pray
while suspended animation did stay

slowing or stopping
of biological function
physiological capabilities
unpitted and preserved - yea.

Hence upon being
and getting woke
feeling like I slept forever
and a day - no joke
most certainly well rested

constitution I did evoke
intensely scrutinizing men
chilled wren, and women folk,
who appeared out of this world
mutated into Roanoke
smooth as glass skin cloak

against ultraviolet rays
causing skin cancer
their attenuated limbs strong as oak
versatile to prod and poke,
whereby superior petsmart
doggone noggin could invoke

telepathic communication
interestingly enough issuing smoke
signals, whenever danger present
and capable to disappear
as if doing breast stroke.

Salutations!

Are we all just a figment of GOD's imagination? 
Or just a simple angle of schematical equation. 
Perhaps, we’re just a footnote in God’s mental thots? 
He’s gotta BIG BANG Universe to run, does He not?
Are we all flashing back on one of God's holy hallucinations?
Walking on water, EGGSHELLS! Raise Cain! Raising you know what and who!
Are we all just a spark in God’s expecting spectacular speculations? 
Or a One-time ticking timebomb from nuclear annihilation. 
Are we all just a coat God puts on His “quotations”? 
Keeping us in order with anti-inflammation. 
Rambling hypocrisies, babbling Biblical prophecies.
Or are we all just simply subjects of our own bad inventions?
Subjected to the whims of fanatical sabbatical radical intentions. 
Getting lost in a crowd, getting lost at Sea, Dead to the world. 
What’s to become of me? I’m only one but I’m not alone. 
I’m only one... one amongst millions and millions of Billions! 
Who all call Earth HOME!  Don't we all call Her home?
Billions who just aren’t me! Yet sorta look like me. But do they think like me? 
Do they love life?  Do they seek out the truth, new life and Lady Liberty?
Peoples who wanna share, peoples who wanna care, peoples who wanna dare
To have a positively positive outlook on life! 
Wanna little betta Light to Sunshine on, you, see? 
Wanna betta lifeboat just to stay afloat, indubitably? 
Are they capable. Of being civilly chivalrous, acting responsibly? 
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be freee! 
Free from the scrutinizing eyes of oppression and tyranny 
Free from the sympathetic lies of social suicidal tendencies.

Are we all just a sing-along of one of Gods’ songs unsung? 
Justa tryin to figure out whatta hell is going on. 

Or are we all just a song in a Godsong sing-along? 
Just tryin to figure out what da hell is going on. 

What if ... 
We’re NOT all just figments of God’s imagination
But possibly, there's no other possible rationally obtained explanation
For all the misconceptions and misinformation ordained!
Are we all really looking forward for this final absolution?
Over population, crime, world domination, slimed, improper pollution
Best to jest to keep on singing songs
And just keep on blindly playing along
With God fearing reindeer games.

Oh my, time flies ...
The Dreamer never dies!

Interpreting Poetry Mine

Interpreting Poetry (mine)

Similar to scrutinizing
an abstract painting,
this author begetting
obscure words dumbfounding
readers, he eludes
(no shade tree fore rest)
clear cut discerning,
yet oft times his words

garner reviews raving
esoteric word choice,
how mind boggling
to this logophile despite
more than one reading
brow (sir) furrowed -
cognitive region scrunching,
no matter intent concentration

utter futility attempting
bedeviled comprehension, whether
literary master (me? ha...
not yet), among pantheon partying,
but nonetheless birthing
present day profoundly thought provoking,
undoubtedly tirelessly expending
mental energy eventually exhausting

effort in futility understanding,
asper mine stymied
linkedin attention getting 
(then just as quickly losing)
registering resignation defeat alluding
to challenge physical prowess daunting
engagement well matched savvy sparring
partner, or possibly life

and death battling
against unwittingly aggressive brutal questing
archenemy, sans toward all living
species wretched nemesis ultimately deciding
mortality tacitly accepted proffering
transient longevity refusing
to compromise, haggle, negotiate,
et cetera casting

deadened demise of victor or villain
all thru civilization starring
as unopposable tour
de force quietly biding
end date, versus indiscriminately snatching
hero, heroine, coward,
et cetera requiring
impossible ransom while donning

mask of Melpomene
(Tragedy), or trumpeting
Thalia (Comedy), no exit stage door left
only joie de vivre 
until last second ticking
unbeknownst unexpected, and uninviting
deathly hallows ringtone alarming
anonymous (oh Henry)
 
words worth struggling
to hash meaningfulness, viz
finite existence germinating
since birth, yet 
terminal realization pressing
with greater frequency when aging,
and deafeningly ear splitting
amplitude bite the bullet clamoring

to tread welcome matt acquiescing
unavoidable phase of dying
devoid of any bargain, but requiring
unconditionally punishingly suffering
silent non binding
resolution, no exemption decrying

unfair contractual obligation, nor unionizing
worth a fig yore of 
speech as cosmic arbiter
blithely doth shear - pruning,
without rhyme nor reason meeting
identical fate toward everyone
even posthumous destiny yours truly awaiting.

The Old Bulldozer

My appointment didn't show up today
So I decided to hang out and play
I circled around Ellanor's  Park
wandering about  in the dark
and thinking about the road ahead
The rain has just fell leaving mud 
and water on the  swampy ground
The pokemon go gang  was playing around
disturbing nature with their silly sound
They walk up and down the wet grass
communicating with their partners
One by one two by two they showed up and join the crew
As soon as  I arrived more of them anchored down 
creating nuisance and spreading bad energy around 
Luckily the Gods were lingering by to listen to my silent cry
They came down form the sky  and spew them out of sight
so that nature could sing and dance about
On by one they jump into their cars 
and drove out of  Ellanor's park
I closed my car and walked over to an old bulldozer
stationed  on the park's ground
the equipment was so old 
I wonder if I was still in  America
The owner was not around 
so I climbed up and sat in the chair
and examined the levers and gears
I was captivated by a certain power
It felt good sitting in an elevated tower
It has been parked there for many days
Rust and dirt was musing on its face
No work was going on and the pile of sand
stood waiting on the ground for the fix it man
The same roads that were repaired
has been dug up and repaired year after year
The paved parts are lean and bumpy
And when I drive my truck rocked side to side
Where are the professional engineers 
Cheap labor has sucked every penny out of the mill grinder
And America's roads are in danger
I watched them prowling up and down the street
Trying to figure out my heart beat
But I sat in the big old bulldozer scrutinizing them all over
I felt a sudden rush of power
I felt like a queen in her  parlor
And I felt like a queen riding in a carriage
Waving to the magnificent crowd shouting out loud
If the owner was around I would ask for permission
To drive it up and down and through the town
Wolfish  influence peddlers
Big belly contractors and poor skills workers
has feasted on the wallet of the county for years
But now I am in the bulldozer and I am getting
ready to run some one over
America needs a  constitutional face-lift
Here I am in this big old bulldozer
feeling  energetic  and strong 
I am ready to dig up and tear down the remaining barriers.

Mutiny In Trees

The water has receded
And I can see everything
in the bottom of the stream
Big pebbles of assorted colors
covering each other
frogs scampering about
and big fish meddling around
I stared in the silent water 
watching rubble floating on top 
giant rocks planted in the sand 
unaware of what is at hand
And openly denying that
they didn't know each other
I walked across the buried rock
to view the pebbles from all angles
With heightened curiosity
and  reflective ingenuity 
I dip my foot into the water 
but it was as cold as ice 
and something  strange 
was bubbling up inside
The sun shines vigorously
through the  tall trees
penetrating the water in the deep
I could see the color of  everything
the shape the depth and the size
The wind came to a stand still
And mad birds murmuring
precariously  from within
They start a mutiny in the trees 
Flying furiously  in the air 
waiting for the storm as it draws near
I crossed the stream 
and sat on a wooden bench
Contemplating numerous events 
The mysteries of nature 
birds talking to each other
And everyone screaming 
and shouting at one another 
I could not understand the birds language
but I could sense their troubled emotions 
Whistling
screeching
squealing
shirking
crying
hooting
tweeting 
sounds without description arouse in the tree
Different rhythm unfamiliar tune
Making everyone confused
Mozart in all his glory 
couldn't have created a better symphony 
Even among the tallest tree 
 nature is wailing in misery
I cannot fathom it all 
unparalleled music resonating in my head
and the trees  standing upright
scrutinizing this terrible plight
The leaves are not moving
And the bushes can feel the strangeness
the birds are whimpering
forcing nature to set an important meeting
Everyone gathers in Eleanor's park
waiting anxiously for the meeting to start
The wood pecker hammering the wood
and  the sweet John Che-wit
standing on the shaky branch
watching the cardinal reading the agenda
The cold and dry winter has returned
Hot spring  sweltering in summer
Every thing is green again and the trees 
waits patiently to dance again
The bird started a sudden commotion 
and the meeting ended in a raucous  demotion
Winter hits back with a monumental explosion.


Debaser

Opposing blades split artery walls,
 like slender ubbraided reddish hairs.
Scrutinizing concealed glands
 before a motion picture camera.

Meat to overcome oppisition,
 distressing persistance of control.
Sideshow characters resembling their reputation,
 pungent expressions of their slang.
Progress feeds the timepiece
 with slovenly dejection.
Skillfull vigor regulates the channels
 of slurring outbursts of temper.
Sensually inclined to temptation,
 congregations enticed by violent pleasure.
The superiority of the throne's officers,
 publicly proclaimed
for their ability as weapons.
 Biblical roots for their offensive formation,
providing brutal direction.
 Solicitting the groups disapproval
of the fringes defiance.

Multi-farious fruits of ambiguity
 conconcted among the stars and planets;
all beneath the skin of 
 of your eyelids.
Awakening to a lamentable
 confused darkness.
A painful birth 
 from a muddy hole 
of welfare status.
 Collectively force-fed
forbidden sexual substance,
 crumbs of death cups
from the altars
 of Gog and Magog.
Priests with robes like jelly-fish
 emitting light
into the depth of emptiness
 and night.

Issuing debts 
 of natural desires;
obediance to the 
non-perishing salesman.
 His unsegmented body 
holds ownership
 over culture.
Plastic organs and tissues,
 poisonous fluids flowing red
for the populations impanation.
 An ostentatious diamond
of intelligence,
 an historic insight
from a throne
 of the slain sickly.
Vast and unyielding,
 baseless materialists
transmitting a visionary war;
 A sythetic savior,
we are saved by your glands.
 Bonelike heads of animals
emptied into the coals.

The tossing crowds 
in the passages of worthless cities.
 Twelve tribes of a spoiling population
with knees bent,
 intoxicated upon the carrion
of a righteous lion.
 A barbarous self-interest
regulating their prey 
 through glass screens,
destroying all value
 with permanent doubts,
and a deeply notched discomfort in their hearts;
 a thouroughly communicative
injurious ink of acid
 seperating the indispensable
from the indivisable ingratitudes
 of wichedness and injustice.
A polished mouthpiece;
 for the ornamental rhetoricians
of Tophet.

Premium Member Dawn of Delirium

Freedom ~ an inked kingdom
of macabre mirrors,
a vermiform lie
veiling the vehement suffering
amidst serpent estuaries,
surging within strangled skin,
as if I am the living sin,
jinxed by the crawling creatures
in the lamented labyrinth
of deceitful dreams,
inhaling venomous vapors
rising from the cursed creeks
that failed to caress
the brittle bones of delirious dawn,
where the nocturnal owl
sits, phasing stellar phantoms
on tattered twigs,
oblivious to the piercing pain I breathe,
as poetry feels like
    a somatic hallucination,
    a reflection of the phoenix crescent,
    a dialect the naive can never comprehend,
the voice of truth,
the jaded outline of mortality,
     can never interpret~
as the last sacred light of twilight
r e m a i n s
unmarked and lost to the Earth.

O wicked wind beneath
the crestfallen wings
of cruising constellations,
will this piece of paper save me
from the maleficent violets
in the spitfire blaze
of stigmatized stars?
I am stuck ~ hell-bound,
troubled placing my
tongue on Freyja’s chalice of tears,
   for   I feel oblivion closer than death,
          I taste the flames of Tartarus,
          I dance with demons,
          I sing to the malevolent moon,
          I see in distorted dimensions.

But would the ignorant know
I hear beyond what’s spoken,
in search of Eden and love?
I give gratitude to your God,
but the veiled care not~
this is beyond the making
of a self-forged inferno.
I am the harbinger of harmony,
my soul aches
to paint your scarlet spheres
in butterfly bliss,
   praying in secret
that the deviant daggers in my spine
would blossom into russet roses,
their petals ~ like an elixir
to my paranoid psyche,
   paralyzed in the
        catacomb chaos of insanity,
as the scorpion Sun
    k i s s e s 
          me one more time
                      with sweetened poison.

While you,
the spectators of this twisted spectacle,
condemn my insomniac aura
   to stain the essence of my existence
with condescending colors,
         unaware that
         introspection is a powerful weapon~
all blood is blue,
          and we breathe hypocrisy
                 scrutinizing the unknown....

While Crawling Toward the Finish

He had been in a deep dream, searching for a lost puppy
When the clanging alarm startled him to reality
The clear images fading like a burning photograph
Then, a desperate sense of unrecoverable loss

Lying on a couch, the beacon clock, clicking his heartbeat
With no desire in facing the awaiting mundane day
His aching back, reminds him of a night of stooped typing
And his dry mouth, of the many vodka inspirations

Opening his eyes, the room is semi aglow with dawn
Turning, he meets the scrutinizing eyes of porcelain frogs
Sliding roughly to a difficult sitting arrangement
Reaching for a bottle of room temperature water

His tongue dampened, he leans back to remember the reason
Why did he need to be shaken from his unconscious state?
Work, yes, that essential means to maintain his existence
Would he be teaching high school mathematics, English, or science?

Rising to his feet and in route the coffee maker
Now noticing the radio playing in the milieu
Earthquake, fire, shootings, political scandal, and weather
The essentials for the complex human news equation

Leaning over a large bed, he kisses his sleeping wife
Patting the dog’s head, continuing to the master’s bath
Later, while adjusting his suspenders, his wife reminds
Lunch is in the refrigerator, don’t forget the trash

On the short commute, through a cold northwest drizzling rain
He evaluates his current role as middle aged
Spending each day killing time, while crawling toward the finish
In his castle of souvenirs and faded memories


Mowing an endless lawn and shoveling tons of compost
The whisper of worry in his ears, about debt and health
Watching his wife grow old and pets slowly age until death
He laughs, at what seems like, the pure senselessness of it all

During his day, he continues to ponder while teaching
Looking into the young faces of his eager students
They are filled with the exciting beginning of new lives
Far from comprehending the classic middle aged crisis

In the evening, within the walls of his cozy cave
The television news professing the Armageddon
His loving wife sleeping off dinner in her recliner
He freshens his drink and is silently thankful for her

Highlights From Highland Manor

since becoming housed here since this year
july first two thousand and seventeen, 
   tubby more precise where
with thee missus, amidst bucolic environs, 
   (one could don underwear

Schwenksville, Pennsylvania   
   trees abundant with leaves of grass spare
zip cone: one nine four seven three, 
   this resident doth not find *****

disproportionate amount of time, 
   he spends never to overhear
the mostly soundproof walls 
   inside apartment b44 assigned midyear, 

one bedroom living social space 
   gives ample opportunity to assess linear
ratcheting asper elderly folks inch along 
   chronological space/time continuum 
   fragile as jasperware  

many experience diminution 
   of vital sensory organs, and oft time cannot hear
even without television blasting away, 
   no doubt harboring anticipatory anxiey sans, 

   grim reaper's unannounced visit they fear
their non verbal body language 
   (when aye espy and stride-rite past, 
   an old lady or man riding shot gun 
   securely strapped in wheel chair, 
   shuffling back where buffalo used to roam, 
   or trudging to common all purpose gathering place)
 
   speaks volumes analogous to a frightened deer
when caught blindsided 
   within bright lights of an automobile 'ere
unsure which way to go, and dashing out in the thick 
   of evening rush hour traffic, 

   lacking notion, the figurative coast not clear
subsequently doe ting bucks killed, where birds of prey 
   thence loftily circle gracefully   
   gliding within upper atmospheric air
page number two:

upon scrutinizing what doth appear
as a hollowed out existence induces me to de clear
to maximize utilizing each precious moment 'ere
before each major metaphorical cog and gear
frankly zaps, this dude looks like a lady, 
   cuz ah ma longish bedraggled hydrogen peroxide tinted hair
me haint give a rats ass 
   what rumor mongers relish, and behind me back jeer

Since old people lack for purposefulness tis unlike to leer
that one day (fast as snap of fingers), lack of being ambulatory t'will be near
and upon limitation in physical functionality, aye aim to app pear
motivated to partake of mental exercises just sitting on me rear.
