Looped Poems

In Wait

...She still smiled,
even when she knew,
life looped over her, 
like a hangman’s noose.
Imagined it was a melody she heard,
in the rising cadence of a dirge.

But…in her laughter was the echo...

Not Feeling At All Myself Today

...
I'm not feeling at all myself today—
I see a sea of selfies. 
adrift in a mirror maze,
floating as reflections that are lost 
in a hall of posed intentions.

Each face is a practiced smile.

What Was I Thinking, O'Yes

...My arrival landed where I began my flight and journey 
Sunny San Diego y e s, I was back and how I missed it
Oh-h-h-h, let me count the ways—rather days spent 
in a border town, oh what...

Paper Cranes

...lights crack, breezes of salt drown the eyes
Toss heads of dye, howls collide, the waves still
Pacing the wharf, glances leer throughout, giants tear through the skies
Decrepit soul, thirst of whi...

A Sad, Decrepit Sight

...
          looking 
         worse for wear
   at the mercy 
of winter's harsh elements.
          a stray dog,
                    sad of eyes,
clothed in all black 
             to matc...

Purpose or Obliteration

...I dreamed I was inside a bulb—
a cathedral of filament and glass—
not dead
not born…..
but shumming**.

Glass walls curved like time
sealed but translucent

my fingers curled around ...

Quicksand

...Quicksand,
happy to sad.
Mad morass of the mind.
Looped labyrinth of wavy lines,
no end....

Humanity

Are humans waves or particles?
Even an entire human being, under the righ...

An Elegy for TikTok: My Battery is Low and it’s Getting Dark

...
I close my eyes, and the FYP still flickers.  
A faint grid overlays my internal vision:  
profile icons, captions crawling sideways,  
the heart button pulses in phantom rhythm.  

Swipe—

Nunsexmonkrock Side B

..."Get high on yourself baby
You
The revolution"

It wasn’t Reagan chirping away
That brought down the Berlin Wall
It was Nina Hagen brawling like a sprung spider
From a death crack in the wall

What the Cat Dragged in the song

...[Guitar solo introduction]

[Chorus]
Oh look at what the cat dragged in,
and he looks like the dog worked him over too,
and for some reason he thinks he smells like clover,
was it whisky or win...

You Were Feeling Like a Kid

...You toss them to the ground, they don’t beckon or call,
They’re a pair of jeans, and to the ground they fall,
They stay as long as you threw them,
Yet they could stand tall,
When they’re on you t...

Museum Of Memory

...


My volatile mind wanders in fanciful cauldron of emptiness, 
floats on the fairy flotilla in the sunburst cloud’s recess, 
makes a fascinating painting of formless fantasy 
on the synthet...

Floral Farewell

...Velvet red roses stand
cheek to cheek
with daisy faces, ringed
in petal fringes,
sweetly scented
by creamy bubbles 
of double jonquil popcorn blooms
beside a starburst
yellow chrysanthemum,
...

Now and then

...Peering back through misted glass.
You.
An intimately known stranger next to me.
Echo waves lap in and out of my mind...
Reality? Looped events pulsating.
Can't trust the cine film past.
