Long To the contrary Poems

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...

little bit like reshuffling the chairs to fix the decay 
of a segregating Country Club.

in siren-screaming Chicago

Church fathers assumed,
despite curious evidence to the contrary,

your psychotropic doctor today?

[no answer]

I'm hoping Princess Yang

because she is my favorite,
I must confess
this PositivEnergy bias
for conserving nutritional activities,
nurturing co-relationships,
cooperative ZeroZone centering balance.

Hi,
I'm Princess Yang,

It is a longterm scientific revolution:

THAT, despite visual perceptions
to the contrary,
Earth revolves around our light
and heat SunSource,

And not the other way,
Sun daily rounding Earth,
abounds all our sensory assumptions
to this EarthBound space in UniversalTime.

THAT our home...

I am familiar
with evangelical conversions
understood as moving away from sinner,
unredeemed heathen,
unenlightened addiction to evil,
demonically disempowered
reprobate status
moving toward regenerative winner status
saved by the blood of the Lamb.

This traditional way of processing
progressive
therapeutic conversion
is a change through predation,
colonization,

Sebaceous glands connected to follicles secrete an oily substance called sebum

With a title deeply rooted
in subject matter iterated above

the “rogue” soldier

Love is a kiss
	A prelude to the dreams we hum
	A postlude of what has become
	
Love is a wine
	Intoxicating heart and soul
	Over the mind it gains control

	A melody to remember
	Forever a burning ember

JOHN M. ARRIBAS

Will return to their houses with dirty hands
Mom will scold them, but knows what to do
A little soap and water, they’ll look like new
