Miracle of Hypocrisy
I was listening to Cornell West,
who described our catastrophic tolerance of disvalues for others,

disvalues like homelessness and hunger,
but also like random violence,
abuse and neglect,
lack of caring,
as a "conspiracy"...

Same Ol' Song and Dance
As I look back across more musical times
of rhythmic reflections,
ceremonies and commemorations
of each dawn and dusk eremitic liturgy,
if that is not an oxymoron
of sound and sight,
song and dance,
tragically sad, yet also bilaterally bound with happier...

Artifacts of Destiny
Each ego identity,
whether of busy bee
or slacker sloth,
recreates its uniquely sacred eco-Other,
mutually capable of Win-Win intentional experience
and memory
toward appreciating capital investments
in further living, not deadening, artifacts

A Free-Verse Epic
Thus it begins—
A free-verse epic
Into the mind of
A writer and an idiot—
A romantic and,
Often a pessimist
Conjoined in arbitrary glory
Are the thoughts and words
Of one overly-worked mind—
Charismatic and, of course,
On the pushover, pitiful
And usually...

Wind Whispering
Mentors with the BeeTrees
From NorthWinds
come darkening winter
as newborn discontent
waiting to spring forth.
From SouthWinds
come summer's diastasis
climax of full-born wisdom,
contentment for and from all four directions
spread across sleeping hearts
of each nighttime regeneration.

The Ambiguous Apprentice
When does ambiguously free verse

I was emphatically reading pieces
ambiguously written
about my sons,
to my oldest son's girlfriend.
The longer I read

Now it had been my hope
and passion
to become...
