Malingering Poems

Seasons Bring Change

...The season’s subtle winds bring change, from the skies 
	to the mountains, bearing an autumnal overcoat
	boasting gold, orange, and scarlet, gradually 
	hushing to a dying chestnut brown.

What God is This

...What God(?) is this
That walks warmly alongside death
A malingering menace
Feasting on the pain of life’s limitations
A sadist, reveling in life’s clinging pain
Supping on the angst of agony’s d...

the raw madness that makes me who I am

...It amuses me when people ask
“How are you?”
Fortunately for us both
They never ask
“Who are you?”

For that answer relies upon a deep dive
Into the hollows of a heart
The scorched remains of ...

It's Open Season

...Mysterious displacement of matters where
Spring forgets like fumbling fingers in blossoms
arresting visions lingering colossal
                         ~jewels rule pastimes

Then Summer...

Chocolate Girl

...
Her luxurious penthouse
is like a cocoon with plenty of pretty distractions,
so she keeps her door firmly closed,
because she prefers fantasy
over the handicap of reality.

Psychologically still thirteen

...Psychologically still thirteen 

Ordinarily meaning pre Internet days
familiarization with me would entail
bringing the avid listener 
into my private mancave hideaways
less a physical place th...

War of Malingering Swarms

...Male bees are useless layabouts
Gather no nectar or pollen
Can't feed themselves
Have no stingers
Yet World War III
Will be fought with a swarm
Of a billion, billion drones
Some made of cardbo...

Dolce Far Niente

...The only ounce of energy I'll be expending today
is having picked up a pen to scrawl these lines...
"I have declared this to be Dolce Far Niente Day."
Enjoying the sweet life, doing no...

Sea

...The wondrous sea captivates my soul
as I sit beneath the malingering palms
   I can close my eyes
and dine on imaginations from its offered sounds
I can listen quietly to the soft throb of the wa...

Not Patriots--Amoeba Types

...The insurrectionists of January 6 are NOT patriots!
They are criminals of the lowest amoeba-types
Most patriots were at work improving the G.N.P.
Not carousing and malingering to air their...

Pleasures Pleading

...What man is this,
Who may not kiss
And not want to spit  
Out the taste of carrion,
Not want to wrench
The steaming stench
Of carnality 
In billowing bellows
From his lungs
Not want to clean...

renewing your vanity
with deference to all

At home on the fringes
where truth is an orphan,
you line up your enemies
canons shot at the wall

A gener...

Greg and the Hunkie Hawk

...Amidst Mystic’s art and craft show last May I was wandering.
By a stall with wildlife photos malingering,
Where my new beau Greg caught me beaming. 
A gorgeous red tailed hawk photo I was unashame...

Relinquishing Emotional Fixations

...Toward Material Trappings

Gold and silver upholds
     true value capitalist money tree
Thrown down upon gaunt
     lit alter of Midas,
     treasured as current sea

Countless denominations...

More Audacious Hope

...Senator Obama's Audacity of Hope
ends with listing memories,

that rekindle his love for this imperfectly united Place

this humane Habitat
for mutual care-givin...
