Long Solids Poems

I love you only because I love you
by Pablo Neruda
loose translation by Michael R. Burch

I love you only because I love you;
I am torn between loving and not loving you,
Between apathy and desire.
My heart vacillates...

In our Physics Departments
our most salient awareness
grows
of those nature-spirit entities
most easily seen
and heard
and smelled
as animated and animating,
sometimes more,
sometimes less,
in our daily ritualistic lives
of solids
and liquids
and gases
and plasma
and bilateral neural pathways
of interdependent communication.

In our MetaPhysics Department,

Mystery Of The Poltergeist

It is said, “All things in balance”,
yin has it’s yang, plus has it’s minus,
all things in balance is natures way.

There is however another important factor in this design,
the mean, the balance point.
This...

Tonight the act of naming fell through the floor.
We speak permeable solids inflect’d by light.
Things move indistinctly: a pine palette floats
momentarily from semi truck’s bed, crosses
its body with windshield; ovidian shift from a
Forest to an...

Ephemeral Laments of Technicality

Qualifications of a criminal mind
Magnifications of virtue in all of mankind
Qauntifications of meaning you cannot seem to find
Fractal notations in dreaming that you’d never leave behind

Geometric cubism born of Platonic Solids
Ego-centric hubris...

There is no nothing
for what we call nothing
which is really space
is definately something
emptiness void abyss
all something like glass
from lights point of view
as we are as light to space
we offer eachother no resistance
and yet are as...

What Ocean

Oceans rise because they have to leave now
What goes up stays up as a matter of science
This planet soon will be all consumed in dryness
Giant columns of water are in a rage to go
They...

Why do people talk to babies as though they were stupid?

Isn’t he lovely? the old woman said
And doesn’t he look the spit of his Dad
Is he on solids, how long does he sleep
And how many...

Your parents gave me the news at Wilton's Music Hall
a place of joy and drunkenness
Laurel and Hardy, Hetty King, Marie Lloyd and now
A Great Aunt.
A figure of jest, jeers and laughter
what fun, what fun.

A great...

10 days later i could be dead
cracked bones with bugs in my head
laying with my hands on my heart
forever resting till death i part

9 days later i will be alive
feeling numb but completely in life

Space the universal medium, in which everything grows

I have ADD.

Having... what I have's like playing billiards*!
I aim my thoughts
like a cue ball at a stripe**
and hit a solid** color...

It wipes me out!  I forfeit my next shot!
My Critic-of-all-dreams does the thinking,...

The world rotates and life moves forward,
I see a straight path but im spinning!
The confusion between me and them:
How we separated- the split and turns 
The additions and multiplications;
Divisions equal to unknown formulas,
Those numbers ranging...

FOOTSTEPS 

From cradle to grave,
Such is life
Where we follow certain steps,
First refrain
Emitting from mouth,
A somewhat gargled sound
Of ‘Ga- Ga, Mum- Mum or is it Da-Da,’
After which
Came the dummy spitting bit, 
Followed quickly by
Rejection of their...

Life has been like an elevator

Going up sometimes, often down to the bottom layer

The outcome was minor or major

Paid it no mind, or it started to hanker

Feeling calm or full of anger

Done in good will...

Mountains reach up through clouds
Half way between Earth and heaven
To grow slower over vast tracks of time  
              
Rocks seek snowflakes...

Sugar, you temptress, you hide everywhere 
In many a form you never play fair.
You sneak in my life like a thief in the night
Stealing my breath, with every sweet bite.

Making me long for your taste,...

Just a snippet
Made out in the land of crickets

You either did or didn't
Put forth the effort, time and commitment
Above and below the ridges
Hits and misses
Pushing it to the limits
Got to take care of business
From the...

I thought that I should say what I mean
On the subject of ‘shit’ and its synonyms—
Derrida’s caveat notwithstanding.

We alternatively dub it turd, crap, poop, etc. 
But the whole set of synonyms, 
Given its connotation, is...

Stars harvest darkness for their light
Between the recesses, silences require quiet
As required by the distances tracked
Immeasurable across the universal black

There is plenty of time for gravity to settle down
In the recesses between the quiet of...

Pet rocks fall on hard times
They don't commit crimes or suicide
Stones never come back once thrown
Never talk again once insulted
(Rocks hate being called stones)
Never refer to them as ore or else 

They demand equality
