Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land

Bipartisan Dissonance
When oppositional cognitive dissonance
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time
to where she began to feel lonely,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

Pursuit of Infinite Knowledge and Understanding
(In a Lush Garden Somewhere Out There)
The student stands where shifting sands of thought
Once firm with reason
now elusive truths are sought.
Its splendor wanes
a threadbare fading strand,
A quest for wisdom
in this digital land.

Father Time's Interview
Hi.
We don't have a lot of time,
or, well, I guess you do,
but I don't,
so let's plunge right into the first big question:
Which came first, form or function?
False dichotomy. No such thing as a totally dysfunctional...

Really? That’s my topic?

Restoration Towns
I was skeptically listening
to a retiring social researcher,
and problem-solving imaginer,
from the American Enterprise Institute;
An Institute
I usually find more destitute
of bicameral consciousness than not,
and thereby with less healthy resonant imagination
than more pathological dissonance.
But, I found...

Contract Against Greatness
In Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged"
she paints a nationalistically wealthy saint
where also lives a monochromatically utilitarian narcissist,
sucking on attachment to fame and power
for bought and sold ZeroSum accounting Souls.
If the perfectly powerful pure patriarchal patriot
were your...

Some Poems
A Stolen Memory
A Mirthful Chorus
By Sy Roth
We surrounded him
Asked to let go.
She stared at the misshapen face,
Unshaven sandpapery skin
Eyelids a tabula rasa
Fluttery sere skin
And we could see the humor blossoming in his...

Factoidman and Shallowman - Part 2
[Now ShallowMan is quite content
receiving FactoidMan’s consent
to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant
with fingers crossed and belfry bent
when viewing Facts in sealed cement:]

I suppose you might have missed out on Paul Feyerabend's,

quite the same since...

IrReligious MisEducation
S/he is controversially counter-cultural
And yet,
MotherEartha defensively claims,
not so:
We grow trans-regenerational
transubstantiating substances

to integrate more sacredly organic
Positive passions
re-connecting
re-membered past peak
pleasures restoring universal EarthJustice
and unitarian EarthMother peace.
I stand before you today
not to bury every conservative re-ligion

Advent of Healthier Economics
It's not only
our cultural value conditioning
that presents a health communication problem
about transitions of climate
without our Interior
and within our Exterior
Landscapes.
It's also about internally incommensurable
cultural values,
norms enjoined throughout Earth's domesticated human race
toward humane evolution's economic journey
Whether transportive...

Wise Elders
Wise Elders are patient,
fully embrace compassion's communication
and health care
of climates and cultural landscapes,
animated persons,
sacred spaces,
organic places,
panentheistic plants
and monotheistic planet
impassioned hopes
and pleasant dreams
rebuilding positive faith.
Wise Elders co-passionately listen
for karmic grace of love peaks
overflowing.

other times you just know you've been touched and you freeze,

Dear Toni,

or was it the other way around?

Autumn Atonement

Woven with earthy Autumn,
Saturates the alveoli of my lungs,
Pouring raw impulses into the neurons of
My pleasure centers, so triggering a myriad of
Memories ... the demurring requiem to summer tide...
