Long Self consciousness Poems

Was this a bold  endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
 In one sense I was caught between two poles apart  concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish 
difficult decision.
A decision that may...

What I have for you today is not so much about re-treading an outdated fuel-based system--
little bit like reshuffling the chairs to fix the decay 
of a segregating Country Club.

No, this is addressed to economic...

Find your way
from brain stemmed
seed tree infancy
of glorious humanity
history

Find your way
From correct diverse limbic resolutions
back to shared soul temporal-health 
co-acclimating diverse struggling issues,
nutritionally resilient production
and root to branch to reroute transportation
and lack of wealth concentrating...

Today we hear Positive Psychology is hot.
To not agree is to be both negative,
and a snot;
too cognitively dissonant
arrogant
and dino-snore-a-lot.

When your loved one tells you,
for the thousandth time,
"You never listen to me"
you have been invited to...

Remorseless sweaty palms

despite being prescribed glycopyrrolate.

Though the angst riddled psyche of mine crafted youth, long since receded, ebbed in the past, infringement, impingement, and indecent wracking wrath of mental illness, that even as a middle...

The following constitutes a rather

I dash with my jiggling boobs in an attempt to escape...

Isn't our quality of life greatly subject to how we view our world and what happens in it?

I heard someone say recently, (and I agree), that nature is one of the most beautiful things we...

If love is a metaphysical word
for physical synergy,
and synergy is
Fullerian-Eulerian-Einsteinian-Jaynesian 
prime binomial integrating TransParency,
ProGenitor Time of Tao's
nondual co-arising gravity,
merging and emerging in-formation
into this continuing
yet culminating
Great Transition Evolution
of Left-Right bicameral eco-consciousness,
co-empathic ecopolitical trust
and all-consuming integrity

Then,

Did you notice?

What you have for breakfast,
despite what Mom said,
is probably less important than who you do 
and do not 
have breakfast with,
and why

The brand and make and year of your car
are less significant to...

Eye cannot envision not wearing glasses

Ever since second grade
an ever stronger prescription
for nearsightedness donned my countenance,
cuz myopia (inherited courtesy
both parents) rendered me 'As Blind as a Bat' .

For some reason,
I wanted side arms
that wrapped behind...

For the days when your skin feels inadequate
And you want to escape from it
When you've scrutinized every fiber of your being & want to trade in your reflection
When you don't look right juxtaposed next to...

BEAUTY: 
I step into the room,
Crowded
Boiling over with noise
A crescendo of laughter
Laughter I cannot join in on
People, faces I do not know
I feel shy, embarrassed
Did I dress well today?
Who knows?
I move around, I do what...

I stare blankly ahead of me;
stare into the cracked soul of the being who used to reflect a smile
- the girl I used to love unconditionally.
That love evades me now.

Where has it gone?

I search desperately,...

My Life in 51 Lines

My life, what sets me apart?
What makes me different?
My choices, good or bad
The things I do and decisions I made are what make me, me
I lived to fit in. I blended...

(composed about eight years ago
moments ago this poem underwent
     slight poetic surgical face lift

I said to my prodigal son
who stole from me,
it is not competitive economic strategies
that dominantly empower life;

Competitive ecologies and economies 
are dominantly decomposing monocultures,
just the opposite of regenerative synergetic praxis
and regenerative intent toward polycultures.

Monopolistic internal...

My attraction towards her was fatal.
For the realest things to come from her lips affected me in more ways than one.
You see truth speaks volume.
And the beauty that comes from her lips was more than...

How am I supposed to say no, when my body is screaming at me to let him do everything he wants, no questions, no hesitation? 
He touches me or kisses me and electric shocks roll...

I miss the days when we could sit 
And stare at the screen for hours
The only problem wandering  in
Was chores... but that problem wasn’t ours

I miss the days when peace was the baseline
And troubled...

Even as thunder boomed mighty overhead
and power lines on San Domingo Avenue outside
faltered and succumbed to the tempest
the Ortegas stood breathless in the family room, gaze transfixed 
upon the television screen like so many deer...

Scar-instilled lessons…
Bring me to grateful cogitations' engagements
Since soul speaks of human’s “self-consciousness.”
Affirming that scars are the path to the soul.

I have become “a living soul…”
Such is God-wrought mystery revealed by my Mother’s scar
Thru her cut...

Always something to see or something to do,
Comfortable in a familiar setting, sitting on a bench in the park amongst the trees
There she sits looking wonderfully pretty (oh, how she is so very pretty)

Just a thought ...

What if our forefathers have failed us?
What if the gates are closed and we are
Damned,
Wondering on a date
That has come and gone.

We succeed
A collapsed empire
A widespread plague
A harsh Inquisition
Two world wars
Multiple genocides

I woke up this morning
wondering where I was last night
when this morning,
a glint in my mind,
before wandering where I last got home
here from wondering how last night
again

Hoping
without probable gumption
maybe if I figured transport out
and in

"I like how we have to pretend like we're playing,"
I said, though we were playing, my older brother and me,
But now he was headed over 
To the darkened shed near the basketball courts
To smoke pot,...
