Capital Investment Problems
A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

The Golden Chord
"The Golden Chord"
I have stories
caterwauling
to be told,
I will caste them out there
no matter how bold.
They will not drown,
they’ll survive
soaked to the bone,
transfigured transporting
they’re magic
for the one who sits absent
on her Royal Throne.
Some are parked on...

Not just the homeless, the free spirits and the spirits of the free!
But everyone did live out of a suitcase.

In the valley of the culprits
be patient.

by the newcomers and leaving them
never look behind you,

Martial Dances
We live in strange times, my brother
men make money
with war dances
and occupation...
Do you not see the bombardments
and the pillaging?
Under the boot
you are worn out,
these days

Borrow
I went to my neighbors
To ask for a favor
And said may I borrow
Stuff I need tomorrow,
But she stopped me short
With this stunning retort:
“Do you need sugar cane
Drano for a clogged drain
Or perhaps some flour
Or did...

Misinformation
I miss some information while the news drones on today,
and lose a favorite TV chair, while commentators lie on air.
The coddled cats, now cozy in my spot, have no respect for playing fair.
Their clawing...

The City Which Is Inside You
You live in your own inner city, which you bought in a
silent auction.
You were again unable to cancel your debts.
Under your blackening eyelids you try to feel certain
things.
Without noticing your withdrawal from self,...

I Was In These Pages
Without making you feel at all
In lands very distant from you
I raised flowers which you like
I know
I left you by yourself
With unforgettable memories...
Every so often
You felt uneasy
Because of my badly digested words
You stayed sleepless...
During...

Welcome To the Jerome Show
It was warm in the yurt; the desert was unyieldingly hot.
There was the slight scent of ylanylang, it was sweet.
The guy wearing the yarmulke had a captive audience
He was yacking to the point of yammering,...

What Species of Humanity Are You?
What species of humanity are you?
Whatever kind you are, you don't worry us.
According to hearsay
you were willing to lay your hands
on small items
deposited by my mother
to the communal account,
close to a bank.
I know that...

The Hunter Has Become a Guide For the Birds
The hunter has become a guide for the birds,
his two faces
against two wings.
He has chopped down trees
to make a post
with small dried branches
for the birds to roost.
He has broken off flowers
to decorate this small tree

I Cannot Say To You, Rest In the Night
When you get bored
Go at the edge of the Seine
Be the friend of swans
Divide some bread into pieces
To throw to them!
Don't be in charge of shippers
Letters remain in consciousness
By dancing northward
Consider bottles
Carried away by...

A daisy bringing us some suffering from his home
Silent in the middle of a blue turning grey,...

Wind Is Pounding In My Heart

Whithin the yurt, upon the road, it whets my mind; eases the loads

Friend, You'Re Not the Guilty One
Friend, you’re not the guilty one
The guilty ones are the evenings
See how they drag you down into this obscurity...
Trouble not yourself
Everyday’s "Love’s Labour Lost"
Vanishes away
Your eyes have learned
The meaning of love anyway
Learn how not to...

Brother, Garbage Sweeper
Brother, garbage sweeper,
Don’t sweep anyone’s hopes away
They’ve tossed into the streets...
Tears, you know,
Cannot smudge
Our Avenues...
Folks on the whole
Keep their regrets
All bottled up...
No you can’t guess
How they feel
When they don’t go outside...
Those garbage pails
You’ve emptied...

Busses
Most kids ride the school bus twice a day
School buses don't often have wood stoves
or beds you can sleep the night away
Ours did though
More than once I lived in one
Some painted like a forest...

I Wrote My Poems With My Heart
I wrote my poems
with my heart
I strolled abroad
With my manuscripts,
drew my expectations
into my drawings
The avalanche of suffering
crushes me.
I put years
on my back,
stored secrets
in my memory
Often I could not end
trips...
I was annoyed
by the hypocritical

Of Two, Your Uncle Doesn'T Like Either
By his attitudes
your uncle resembles
a machine with laughs in brightness!
With some difficulty
most people stop themselves
from laughing.
Besides, are they are in a state
to laugh -
poor people?
Their problems exceed their means,
high costs exclude...
their children are untenable.
