co-investing in questioning

Why we continue longing
for bicameral win/win engagement

Investing With Us

When I strike my Yang strong poses
and then my Yin flowing folding in bows
toward you,
I am neither praying
nor am I not.

I am not preying
on less polycultural ideals,
nor am I not monoculturally
further victimizing myself.

I...

Northerners are heading south 
Blue and Orange in an east coast bout 
Right now individuals who are sweet and peach 
Relaxing sunning on a Tampa Bay beach 
Not showing power 
To those folks on an...

When I use my pen more often as a dart
then a tool for writing poetry, I'm lost.

When my mind can't find words that rhyme
I grumble to myself about my unfaithful muse.
She leaves no clues when...

10 o'clock morning time. 
Damian made a surprise

Table. "Family listen to me. 
Listen well, without distraction.
One week from now we will be
Vacationing in Trinidad. We 
Will leave by private jet...

Management here at
Highland Manor Apartments sent out word
that tomorrow, January twenty third,
two thousand and twenty one,
we (all residents) will receive the first (of two)
inoculations to stave off getting COVID-19,
hence mine poetic title might seem absurd.

Aforementioned...

We were vacationing in the state of
palm trees and seashore in September's
mild loveliness.
Me, a sexagenarian widow,
hobbled by arthritis in my knees.
As my family enjoyed the surf,
I sat contented on a creaking 
wooden pier,
taking in the...

I remember
as a grade school child
an outside voice greeting me
into each morning's reweaving.

The Heckler was school morning alarming.
The Seducer waited to deliver daylight vacation greetings.

The Heckler demanded
I confine my speaking and writing time
to displaying only...

In November I write of winter
  for I am weary of the old year and tired bones
I visualize all hardships blanketed with fresh snowfall
geese in a "V" as they flee on trade winds to...

First-Person Personal
By Sy Roth

Here adrift wrapped in a coat of heebeejeebies
Fearful of using the first-person personal
Masking it instead by holograms of itself,
Playful non-entities cavorting among the semi-living.

Used to squirrel the words away like nuts now...

A lean physique
Born to compete
A champion athlete
Blessed with unnatural talent
A gift so unique
A manner so oblique
A marathon in a single step
A phenomenon no man scan stop
A gladiator to Olympians
Winter and summer, his games
Sightseeing Tour de...

I shouldn’t have even woken up
I would have been happier if I had just slept
Sentimental is what I am
You should know that, do you even give a damn?
It wasn’t all ritzy but I...

Eastern non-violent communion teachers
pass along a sacred tradition
that enlightened moments
of healthy integral life
predict wealth optimizing death
of future moments
for verbal left-hemisphere dominant
society of Man v Woman,
Yang v Yin
Left v Right bicameral
bilateral co-arising
Life/Death balancing resilience,
regenerate/degenerate

Organic/ergodic
ionic/bionic/ironic good-humored energy

shuttering fright housed inside
in one poof annihilating prejudice
(white privilege included) and pride
reducing to ashes trumpeting
self importance, where snide
persona grata becomes irrelevant
as does living social
or vacationing in Telluride.

Interestingly enough,
I do not entertain notions
inflicting self harm nor...

"Do not love this world"
was a mystery to me
a world full of history and beautiful things
why not love what God has created
the system, the seasons
the things that grow
the new thing you did'nt know

Watching the festering global sores of mankind
This propaganda called news, has on rewind
Images are shown for their shock value
Then compromise the effect with their marginal views
Atrocities are shown, religious zealots leak out
But the story's one...

Blue Monarch Faerie had been vacationing in the Bahamas
So relaxed and pliable now, quite unlike her double mama’s. 
Just wait ‘til you get back, one said over her scratchy I-phone.

School ends with screams of jubilance,
laughing carelessly as the ski boat is 
readied for a splash in the nearby lake.
Spinning reels whizz as they are hurled
into thick underbrush at water’s edge,
trying for the big bass...
