In retributive,
punishing,
vengeance is Ours
court systems,
attorney advocates are taught
to never ask publicly witnessed questions
they do not already have the true
slam-dunk useful answer for,
or at least their known rehearsed
and compliant response.

In restorative,

Major misery must have been mounting on Monday.
The traffic jam miraculously DIDN'T end until terrific Tuesday.
The traffic at 4pm was winding way westward which was way

...The last day they rode slowly back,
still giving each other naughty looks,
a love affairs go, theirs was intense,
truly one for the record books.
Merrick hesitated to leave her side,
then Clarice looked him in the eye,

"Triple Helix from the Hip"

Triple helix
stanzas 
strung together

like pearls 
wisdom worn 
and swallowed

like a pill
sweet and 
bitter

they evolve
those others
from their bad dreams

like poetry 

cradling their 
purity in sentences
that speak their godliness

as if they 
have done...

Tired 
Retired 
So, I won’t be
Re tired… I don’t give up I just don’t respond… Queens never compete with pawns. 
So, take those slivers you call lips. 
That look like uncooked liver. 
As you talk...

The first man in your life,
who would carry you upstairs,
and tuck you in.

He scared away the monsters
under the bed,
and closed the closet door
to keep the bear inside.

or to...

“Violets are Blue” 

In this new space
you came in fast
like a meteor
I hesitate to say
you were smooth

in this new space
no one can hear 
the sound bite, 
but they 
see the thoughts 

of you 

behind the...

Arriving for my first visit, not knowing what to expect
Instantly awestruck at the plethora of trampolines
Ready to jump feet first into a new adventure.
Bouncing up, down, in, out, to and fro
Over and over again. I...

Sometimes we smile, sometimes we frown,
	Here’s the story,
We all have our doubts and worries,
	May never have an wonderful day,
While others are carefree, jest, and play,
	Lots of people try to...

presense-
not one of the 5
senses- void
(destroyed)
unemployed due to
lack of necessity.
everywhere i go, they
stare, they see the

the mutts begin 
to lick their lips,
take sips of the
sins i drip. dominant

The orchestra strains to be symphonic --- a bee in a tin box.
Cigar smoke thunders, molecules of sound wilt
only to be dialed up through brass lungs.
The combo is quaintly upholstered, a classic sports car
driven by...

Racking, fracking, fricker dickers -
there it goes again stirring all my inner jitters; 
my pc, tablet, phone and friends
blank screens locked immovable in place again
while tweets and texts disappear in phantom space.

In the glitzy neon dust bowl of Vegas
or the mean streets of New York,
or the cold Chicago sprawl;
wise guy kings and slam-dunk queens
hold court on leather barstool thrones,
hold sway and rule it all.

Or nearby country lanes and quaint front yards,
