Enabled Empathy
It's weird
and sometimes wild
living with a non-LeftBrain verbal dominant
aspiring child,
now young adult
I find myself waiting for him
to nonverbally connect
and correct me
about my patriarchal domineering
economic and political ableist sins
of felt omission from commercial value
and, perhaps worse,
my...

Love Manifesto
It is love, not loss, we expect,
we long for and belong with,
we seek within
a cooperative economic network
rather than a competitive gain-over-loss
capital-rooted value system.
Love evolves more resonantly
and robustly
than fear
and hatred
and apathy
and dispassion,
yet we have planted our...

Grazing the Garden
I retired a couple years ago
and decided to take a gardening class
because otherwise I probably would starve
even with food stamps,
given my retirement plan
was mainly to live off my still-freeloading adult perpetual-children.
This gardening class cost more...

Goodnight Rome
Goodnight to our Rome with all your garrisons
and your streets that have become
as loveless as empty barracks.
For you I will never weep.
After all,
your Senators
Who made the deals
To keep the last
Last
And the first bored
and lost in...

In the Land of Elephant Dreams
THE FALL OF THE WHITE ELEPHANT’S CAN’T FAIL IDEA
No self-respecting politician wanted to drink from that well

I'M the Girl
I’m not your guy buddy, we don’t share the same verbiage
Can’t you see, can’t you tell, don’t you see my body language
Don’t you know the wall that is built talking about other women
It kills...

Jeers To You
Cow chips and a bottle of piss,
perfect snack for your unclean lips
Hitting the fan
is a stale sewer smell
The six-by-twelve
room you’re living in
is a cancer cell
flush next to a toxic landfill
All of your friends are burp...

Perched Near the Volcano
these radiating, seemingly
endless rows of dust-choked porticoes
in the bustling Roman forum.
Receding to the vanishing point:
sun-drenched streets,
Ways to, hours for due mythology;
busy temples; gleaming marble columns;
massive, stone arches rising through
the wafting dust, through climbing, curling
shafts...

F L Y

This man loved me for me
With all of my idiosyncrasies
Including the lunacy
Regardless of how I loved he
He was all about me
Not the beauty on the outside
Or the way I made HIM...

Imprisoned Fact Remains True
Destroying liberty
takes away all self respecting good
Indoctrinating children into false beliefs
positions of power overturning values
Removing the way of the cross
from teachings underhanded acts
displayed against peace creates division
Replacing it with...

Manipulation
Draw the curtains
Dim the light
Get settled down
For this long winter night
Almost dozing In my chair
A sleeping cat on my knee
Feeling warm and content
A pleasant place to be.
A fire in the grate
A red hot ember bed
Before...

Count Your Blessings
Changing outlook from negative to positive
Our happiness starts with positivity;
Undermining our joy by withholding grudge
Never good things can be achieved with sadness
The best moments of life can’t be surrounded with misery.
Yes, people will try to...

You can’t jump her Amazon bones to win,

Said the Spider
A spider spreads its web of silken threads
shimmering all silvery white by the lake

Its way is not to tear victims to shreds

Sour Trumpet Flat Trumpet
Sour trumpet, flat trumpet; disharmony you create…
That’s simply not music; that hot air, you blow;
clearly your valves are blocked.
Where did you learn those old sour notes?
those twitters, squeaks and squeals,
I’m so bamboozled; you’ve gobsmacked...

Whatcha Think
Whatcha think, Mr. Caveman:
Should women be allowed to hunt,
and they strap the babies on your back?
Should you be forced to follow feminine wisdom
in the event of a barbarian clan attack?
A woman speaking her mind
is gonna...

Open Marriage
Oops, silly me! I do apologize for believing
most of my adult life that marriage is...
a sacred union of two souls. That it's between...

Is there a bigger insult to the institution?...

Beyond the Mighty Humboldt
Beyond the mighty Humboldt
Where the Artemisia blooms,
The broken ribs of mountains
Lie tilted toward the sky.
‘Twas called a wretched wasteland
That Satan, himself, passed by;
Where no self-respecting bird
Would stay if it could fly.
Its rivers are pretenses,
Called...

Never Deal With a Fairy
The fairies harbor secrets; many humans should not know.
Some will give one away for a price; that trade is very rare.

Who's Your Daddy
When under the gun how can one
not be outdone by nepotism
or overcome by favouritism
altho' the norm they're no more

on the human landscape
naught but a blight
from which...
