Long Surgically Poems

It is so hard to let go of love,
lovingly.

It sharks, 
unpeels more gut more quickly
than reel or reeler ever lost
in all those years of lazy inches
in and out:
casting,
winding in and playing out,
hardly fishing, rarely catching
anything

With the opening of my fortress cell,
solemn-faced men come locust invading in
Their mouths smile not, and eyes neither grin
as ceremonial words pursed lips expel
A deer thought escapes ... my life nears its end!
And I feel...

That first black and white
grainy
strangely fluid
floating
flat screen view
of the early developing individual
inside EarthMother's womb

Reminds me
of that first
full-spectrum green and blue
strangely white cloudy
moistly floating
slowly revolving
flat screen view
of home planet
still developing
evolving
revolving Earth.

A LeftBrain dominant individual worldview

"America's health care system
is neither healthy,
caring,
nor a system."
Walter Cronkite

An organic system,
an interdependent co-governing web
of relationships between communicating subsystems,

To be resilient,
to remain robust,
must be win/win cooperative rooted
and not so much capitalist,
headstrong win/lose dominant intended.

Win/lose plutocratic,
kleptocracy,
and capitalist...

If we were to follow a health model
for optimizing both economic and ecological wealth outcomes,
then investment in public and domestic educational systems
for active ecotherapeutic practice
and developing cooperative, self-regenerative systems,

Is there a doctor in the house?
A cryptic message from the uniting nations,
looking for yet another credentialed ecotherapist
to surgically remove all our economic and political issues.

Those remaining after overdosing on pharmaceuticals

"The Right Eye Removed"



intuition guides a feline mind
to feel vain glorious 
in the poetry of dreams
stretching limits of awareness
velvet pawed 
a burnt orange 
bittersweet marmalade coat
delicious to kiss 
the point between 
the ears that listen...

I came walking on daytime’s wake
a pigment dry palette of dreams
filled my pockets with hope
digitally mastered visions of glory
fuel for the broken fires of passion
each step of the journey a trial
each path a temptation to...

I relaxed on the couch to feel at ease, 
the psychiatrist sat across from me.
This wasn’t any normal physician- 
He was my subconscious personified.

A flow of panic surged through my body-
Beads of sweat slowly trailed...

“Boys will be girls,
and girls will be boys”

Utter false parenting
The power of impotent suggestion

who are these people?
where did they come from?
they seem so primitive.
so, incapable.
primitive humans without a foundation of language I feel were smarter and more able

You were seduced by silicate reflections,
unflattering images
of your perceived epidermal imperfections 
The bedroom mirror showed you
your deepest fear
It's crystalline voice told you
what you wanted to hear
Enhance your beauty

Change your outer self
cosmetically
But the silicate mirror lied,

“Take it to the

Writing fiction 
Has no restriction
Unlike the journal writer on the list 
Asking ‘what is this’ 
Raising their fist 
Not allowing anything to be missed 
Dependent on a quote from someone else 
Driving them insane straight...

with mutilated disgust
The gentle touch on his shoulder,
from the woman she now is,

Through no fault of her own,

I stand
Standing upon the emerald landscape
posture stiff and still
Eyes like black holes
devouring the space around me
Glass horse galloping, prisms 
exploding through the plainlands
Time passes faster and faster 
the clouds cocoon and bloom
into a wrinkled face,...

strange it was there just the other day 
hanging about as usual,

He loiters in shadows in line for no harp
The tools of his trade all surgically sharp
He slices their throats before they start yelling

CE - Capture/Exterminate
Not only is this inhumane, it doesn't work at any rate.
A "vacuum effect" is all that will create,
vacuuming outside ferals into a territory already great
for food, shelter and to repopulate.
