The Senior City CenterWhen I entered the City Senior Center
with my Open Mic proposal
to increase resilience
and decrease apartheid dissonance
I could hear no music,
see no dancing.
The quilting room
and the game room,
even the pool tables,
were as quiet as the library,
which...

Weekday AlarmI am anxious
as my 5:30 beeping alarm
grows defiantly louder,
reminding me of surreal difference
between asleep, longing for better days awake,
and,
now awake,
longing for more sleep
struggling toward alarming predawn buttons
to release from this first crisis
for depressing life's day-rousing...

Lavishly Holy DesignsDesigns we find democratically attractive
include designs for acquiring healthy trust powers
with all others to be positively infected
by our mutual discussion,
dialogue, respectful discernment,
our listening with silently authoritative skills
before responsibly speaking,
Democratic designs acquire cooperative consensual power

Broken ShellBroken shell
After a lengthy time of climbing
I sit on the hill peak of courage.
Drafting my testimony on an inkless page of my acquired voicelessness,
Looking down pieces of the shell broken scattered in the valley where

It's Just WednesdayMediocre moments coming
On the verge of a dance with illusions,
Memories bursting from their webs of doubt
Hallucinating in flames, burning – brush fires
Surrounded by a past promise, a melancholy

Oozing away the...

we are a multicultural species
still capable of waging war,
employing ballistic terrorists,
investing in capitalism's ruthless game
of surgical monopoly
to become patriarchs of bloodied mountains,

with inability to distinguish
an ecology of natural...

The guests have been happy, content.
The weekday staff scurry out from the hotel
To avoid the upcoming event.

Fearing the tsunami of...

Someone behind me stifled a cough
Turning around, the stranger nodded back
In the dim light
I made out a determined jaw
Felt thick fingers holding on to the back of my pew

Resumesleeps too much

on time but drinks
too much whiskey and beer

nights when responsibility
demands sleep and serenity
chaos rules and is welcomed
trusts liars and...

the quiet allure
of the forgotten art of gardening.
More than shoving seeds into soil,
More than impatiently waiting for seedlings and then greedily harvesting the fruit of one’s labour.
