Natural Order Poems

Broken like a ship wedged upon the rocks I am in slow wait of my own destruction, crushed by the relentless rhythm of oncoming waves and changing tides.  Floundering in this the final moments of my existence as all...Read More

Hawk Rise

hawk
mighty
predator
flies very high
over field and crop
preparing to swoop down
to snatch some unlucky prey
claws open like prongs for the clasp
murderer by natural order

Magazines and jewelry 
Nothing shows your age faster
I see a broach and think “That is from the 40’s or 50’s.”
Mink stoles were from the 30’s to sixty’s depending on the style.
Mushroom canister sets excite my 1970’s self.
Teenage movie magazines from...Read More

To serve a Being with 
unconditional love
Why are there so many
conditions?
If our representation was that,
when did our reflection
crack?
When did time ripple
so abruptly,
our pond could not
calm again?
If spirituality
was what we had witnessed 
why was it contrary
to natural order
for us to be
reprogrammed
by...Read More

Let me begin by saying
Personally i am Pro-Choice
Its your life live it as you see fit

Who am I to tell you what to do ?

So what I am about to say 
I know in reality is hypocritical 
And only a...Read More

On the steps of Congress St or somewhere college town
We talked about how smart we were and world domination
And laughed 
Ciccadas sung
I was indignant over stuff that seems minimal now
And our common friend wasn't our friend
In a world before Facebook...Read More

The longer I live this life the more that I have found
how life is but a circle…and how we travel round…

Our circle begins as a thought… a simple wish…a hope…a sigh
a dream…a spark in our mom’s imagination…a twinkle in her...Read More

In my dream the stranger said to me:

Life is a state of flux
Built on a thousand million thoughts
Love lives here on the earth
In a thousand million homes

Then her eyes darkened, her smile lost as she remembered what it had cost

I...Read More

There was a president whose name was Trump

That in the White House he had set up camp

For the climate didn't care

Cause for U S wasn't fair

In the end Zeus' thunderbolt struck the tramp!

This is a faceless city; no dreams made here
Though you walk past on every street,
A face, a figure, a glimpse of shoes you 
Would surely buy.

The night cools;
A cold breeze stirs the crisp dry leaves,
Their smell reminds me of the...Read More

The nature of things
The equivalency to one day compare
Changes with time and dreams
To only have us to one day dare

Humans replaceable by the thousands
We are not important as we foolishly think we are
We are human beings in the millions
Does it...Read More

The species that disturbs the natural order is not going to enjoy a peaceful sleep!

There are beautiful creatures to grace plains.
There are beautiful flowers for bouquets. 
There are beautiful people …
         natural and otherwise.
Whether people, creatures or flowers,
        there...Read More

1966
I was just 10 years old when Dad said I
was ready for the Men Only Swim Hour
at the YMCA Downtown where we were
members. He had rehearsed proper
etiquette with me many times and I was
ready, 'Behave as if you are the...Read More

From dearly beloved, to dearly departed
It is for them, once every while tears I shed
Here in fresh today, then to dust tomorrow and gone
When death hauls by, sorrow is born

Tears and tares In the natural order of things
Sadness mixes with...Read More

                  CALM

When all the world seemed calm
The starlight met the dew
Birds chirps, did compete for tweets.
but sounded cheerfully sweet.
Cars moving slowly TO and...Read More

I'm not much of a writer,
more of an activist,
a doer,
timeless doing.

Anyway, my Yang side,
which you AnthroTribes might recognize as EcoJustice,
emerges from my PositiveYin/NegativeYin Balancing 
compassionate/revenge YinFractal-Dialectical DiPolar
appositional
negative co-relational,
co-arising side.

Just as my Yin Compassionate/Immune Empathetic/Aptic Elation
emerges through my YangJustice body of...Read More

No amount of strength can make a man give birth.

Competition cannot lead to progress, only collaborations.

The past and future can be a disease affecting only humans.

Suffering is not a natural order. It is man-made.

Peace cannot be made. It can only...Read More

       Thong Thing Is Wrong

Thong thing is wrong 
Cellulite women rolled on folds of flesh 
Over waves and seas that crest 
What are those monstrosities  
Whales washed up on beaches

Thin strings not quite...Read More

I prefer my home and family buttoned down
rather than too wild and disorderly,
disheveled and irrational.

I prefer natural order
and shades of color
and dialects
and economic/political vocations
and sequential rules of nutrition-producing order,
and yet wonder, too.

I have been hurt by too much wild
struggling against...Read More

Perhaps you hear and see a yet emerging trend
among TransMillennials,
those born at end of the second millennium
carrying and burying ourselves in the third,
yet to die Post Bi-Millennially.

We hear a son who knows,
as his cells know how to breathe nutrition,
he knows
if...Read More

Genesis struggles and strains
sweeps and steers
stresses and sears
toward Exodus,
as birth precedes Great Transition,

as breathing in spring
pauses summer diastatic 
just in time to exhale toward productive harvest,

as this New Sacred Economic Tree of Life as Cooperative EgoDeath 
in Health and Beauty...Read More

From joining the Union in 2004,
no longer Crowns, but thorns in the Euro Zone.
Dues through Asylum’s open door

Quotas from Italy or Greece,
over casings and from caters,
to step on hope and find peace.

Refugees search for compassion’s border.
Not the miles or cold...Read More

Happiness and sadness
Happiness and sadness: the yin and yang of life;
Sunshine in the heart, a bouncy beat to life.
And guts-ache, emptiness, leaden paralysis of mind.
They come, they go, the bipolar of existence; or 
Are they the boundaries of being?

Pain of...Read More
