Political Ecology of Economics
If time is money
then time is capital
so maybe healthy time could also become capitalized wealth.
If money is a token of time’s value
and capitalism commodifies time’s human value,
then human values commodify equitable,
as well as more competitive,...

A Journeyman's Plea
The great poets begged for muse and not for moments stolen.
We lesser mortals cup in hand beg, not for attentions’ span nor
cause to celebrate, but Time; a worthy goal.
Seconds spent pondering half-held slow bled moments

Addictive Liberations
I need to talk about addictions,
about my addiction issues,
and maybe yours.
Addiction gets a deserved bad rap
but that doesn't mean we have no more
than mean-spirited possibilities.
Our first addiction,
and, for the lucky ones,
the functional extended multigenerational
multicultural families
and...

The Inevitability of Happiness
Today,
there are no rubber ducks
or mother's marigold skirts
to hide behind
as we once did.
In their place,
lurking dark and hoary,
a bathtub mist
updrafts thick with loose spores,
and mildew veins
sprawling
behind caulked-over creases.
The day,
shrinking away heavy with time,
as a body
sagging
into
water.
Even...

The Drowning Machine
"The Drowning Machine"
Pulled from my mouth
a string of raw gold to build a tower
built from one understanding
a united ziggurat of words sucked
backwards played before broken mirrors
translated anti-clockwise slow speed all that babel
an alter laid down...

The Dark Truth
The dark truth;
There is nothing good in falling, nothing good in fainting
Just getting hurt, and blacking out.
Blacking out is missing in action and bleeding is bleeding.
There is nothing interesting in dreaming, nothing helpful in admiring
Just...

Love Lost
Drawn together, seemingly predestined,
freewill nothing but illusion,
a love so infinitely rare -
a random wave of emotion
to be surfed to its destination?
No, a power sublime,
surpassing that force binding the universe.

In the city of diffuse lights, the young carry their dreams like transparent cloaks
In the city of diffuse lights, the young carry their dreams like transparent cloaks,
With souls hungry for desires and unfulfilled quests, running through glass labyrinths,
Trying to quench their thirst with offerings of life that sparkle...

Still
I have developed a temporary dislike of the things that I’ve convinced myself have been keeping you away from me. Mere substitutes that admitted to the murder of your mind.

T'Was the Night Before...
T'was the night before Christmas,
Satan feelin' kind'a blue,
Cooked up a devilish plot...
To repay me and you...
For all this religious fervor,
And holiday joy....
Annoyed him like hell,
He would take every toy!
Inspired by the Grinch,
I'd guess...
He'd make this...

2020 Vision Choice
We have chosen,
with fertile parents
and their grandparents,
With our community
and our community's historical journey,
multiculturally rooted
To live in this time
When LeftBrain dominating disassociations
raise RightWing deductive powers
to reductively under-generalize health goals,
To market brand name substitutes
bowing down before competitive...

Disappointing Friends
Just which one makes you saddest mate
When you must disappoint a friend
Or when they’ve disappointed you?
I’ve pondered this a lot of late
As more and more friends meet their fate.
I shouldn’t blame them but I do,
Though...

In the labyrinth of our existence, where echoes of voices clash

We are but wanderers, lost in a cacophony of senseless chatter,
Radio waves and television screens, spreading the spirit of noise,
We are filled with pointless expressions,...
