like the infinite vista
upon the midwestern plain
farther than the eyes of mine
(an ascetic and copacetic

twenty something daughters)
can no longer see,
since sockets severely seared
staring...

we …
are trespassers …
can you feel them?
the blooms, electric?
our world is pregnant with other worlds -
transient planes of existence that are
provisory to entirely disparate
rules and ids and forces …
why do we even question such?
particles and...

of virtually any known color!

I wandered down the forest way
out into clearing bright
flowers wild in breezes sway
burnished in the noon day light

drowsy from the heat I stray
beneath a drooping limb
above I hear a scolding jay
as weary eyes go dim

Behold the harbinger of your ascendance,
A messenger of perfection, I commence.
Attacks are pointless, shortsighted, and weak.
I hold the power to bear you face defeat.

Oh harbinger, foretelling of your rise,
A beacon shining in the darkest skies
Perfection...

A Jerky Reverie

Where is the moon just now?
The light shining from the sun
appears, to have blotted it out.
The stark darkness of a motionless 
void, where atomic debris not seen,
passes
 through it, violating solid state.
Harmonious discontent,...

With a shade of colourless eyes
Have I looked upon a world of discrimination 
My nature is a rare form of uniqueness
And I defile every race by description

Whoever invented the Kiss
I'd like to shake their hand
But I won't
 
Because I'm shortsighted and always miss

If I had Mick Jaggers's lips
But the boss
My Mrs doesn't like it
And slaps me...

Grandfather 
you gave me
no justice
in your seeing
things
with bigoted 
injustice
WHY 
would you say
when I was

shoot him
Grandfather
I loved you
so much
but
 those words
scared me
so much
See ..I was
just starting
to date
appreciating

While everything now is lighted
While everything has thrilling light effects
A long-time companion in the dark has been shortsighted
A gushing firefly light has so much to reflect

A child in this generation can only read from books
