Long The other way around Poems

Dear Toni,

I saw you on The Daily Show
the other day
having your way
with Trevor,
or was it the other way around?
Not sure.

I'm also not sure where we first went wrong,
but I'm sorry for once having thought you...

It's been four years since I've seen so much as an insignificant mountain creek. Been overburdened with comfort, now frantic with nature withdrawals, having to settle for photos found on Google Images: emerald pine trees,...

I was born before her-
but she existed 
long before my life's debut.
Ancient Spirit.......
Old Soul!....Really Old Soul!
The "Great I AM"
knows her as "Tracey, You AM!"
As a young girl she was giving advice
to adults.......
they would listen and...

You’re so insane and crazy when you talk to yourself
Feeling hazy in humid summer, overheating myself 
I feel like you keep talking my ears off till they bleed
I need you to back off…leave me alone…take...

The title,
How the West Came to Rule,
disturbs me enough to continue reading,
like wanting to escape a nightmare
but too fear frozen with why it could never truly end well
to stop dreaming.
In this case,
is to stop reading.

I'm...

My favorite radio show
is Wait...Wait, Don't Tell Me!
on NPR near you.

But, it has bothered me,
over the years,
a snagging voice in sign-off background,
threatening the host will see me again next week,
as if that was the answer...

Yesterday I went home for lunch
I never go home for lunch

When I got to our apartment I don't know why

The original Independence declarations
of the late 1700s
were born from a West European colonizing
and North American creolizing immigration wave
knowing and exploring a God of EnLightenment,
opposed to dark evils of inherited entitlements
to monopolies of economic health-hoarding and...

I forget who first said to me,
Language evolved consciousness,
not so much the other way around;
although it was probably Julian Jaynes.

Kant has this soft cause-effect juxtaposition reversed,
but more of an awareness before 
with after conversation really,
with...

OH! OH! Really freely and truly wonderful
Are my God given poetic gifts My beloved

Oh how very bless I am indeed!

Everyday she thinks it’s her last.
Mistreated, misunderstood, misguided.
She thinks she deserves nothing.
But that isn't the case.

She is beautiful, kind, and sweet.
She hides its from others in fear of being hurt.
For she has been hurt by...

I saw a man in the mirror yesterday
I saw him there again today
Behind him I saw streets and houses and people everywhere

Who cares about the lie of peace making
to cover up greedy hands dirty for oil
The arms race that has been promoted
since the discovery of the gun
just more ammunition to kill ourselves with
leaving us asking what...

Schools can be so unbearable sometimes, 
On some days, it’s the work
Homework!Homework!Homework!
On others, it’s the teacher
Do this! Do that! No! Yes! Stop! Don’t talk!
Some days, you just want to kill everybody

The Classroom is much like...

Another day, life without purpose:
Beaten,
Uneaten,
Tossed aside.

I want the receipt back for this life:
Return it,
Get the money,
Buy a 38-gauge trip to the end. 

You gave this life to me God.
Once given, forever relinquished.
It is mine.
You let...

Silly ants? 
No. Silly humans and maybe silly ants.

We live in a world where there is hope to sell as many people on...

"Never been this eager to earn 
Even a single layer of ahead expectations
Murmurs between excellence and failures

Mind clouded of disparate thoughts

My life is a Rollercoaster

My life is a rollercoaster
	filled with emotional highways, fast ups, faster downs,
	crashing myself into euphoria smiling, waving

But I know why God is silent 
Why He doesn’t answer 
Or hear our prayers 

Beside the fact that His Head is in the clouds 

It’s because He is...
