Long Wide angle Poems

Left reduces speech to Either/Or RightWing default,

Win with Ego NumberOne
means Lose for EcoZeroZone Abundance.

Eastern RightYin
childlike Both/And extroversion
emerges Zero becoming cooperative
co-arising
Ego HealthZone,
adolescent eco-introverting
West as robust Left Discernment.

Timeless ZeroZone Left-Right Consciousness,
so innocent of LeftBrain's emerging RightWing Ego...

Oooh now then. Oh just wow. A scarlet salivating sentinel sentiment is wafting air at that door. Blowing. Blowing is not bubbling so do not count powder puffs or smoke globules that radiate sideways. It...

the list that was a fist
a) it is possible
b) it is inevitable
chained to a million pleasures
an astonishing compendium of compulsions
honed bright with a fool's ardor
the kind you'd wish for in a movie script
undulating at the...

You can keep swinging in your smile
as your eyes see through the cylinder only
where the flowers radiate the scent
where the leaves wait for the rustle
of the fondling wind
where stars wait for the music
of the magical...

but it’s no thrill
'cause we’re not there, but we’re on our...

Rest and watch
Bird focus sharp;
Wonder excites

Wide angle worldview
Venice sojourn;
Latte pit stop

Shadow runs away

~~~~~~~~~


Rainy deluge
Wet wet Monday;
Hazy allusions

Broken over the shallows
turned into sulfur
This tide-less abandon
to bright limpet snails-

That's where you'll find me
in particle madness
in crystalline pools

the cottage, its double-hung windows,
gables and gardens, trees.

beyond his prime, florals
with stems — their...

SERPENTS SCORPIONS AND OWLS

We are led to believe that serpents lie
But that is the theme of a famous story
And by eating forbidden fruit, we die
Living a life no longer blessed in glory

Scorpions look evil, but...
