Politically Speaking
A word or two about my view of the politicians
we presumably put in positions of power
hobbyists bought and paid for under the table
catering to manipulating lobbyists by the hour
where saying nothing yet flapping their gums
offending no one when sitting on the fence
doing naught but wagging their tongues
and all the while protesting their innocence
dodging the bullet

Positions In Time
Corinthian columns challenge lifespan
host of novelties transcend
observance pause barters expend
cornices prime, capital defend
shaft and base strengthened
All New Testament lengthened

Awareness Is a Blessing
Variety of thoughts with in and around,
The perceptions resulting and leading to oozing emotions that compound.
The reactions and plans to handle the perceptions become more sound.
The gurgling tidal emotions fail to differentiate between the right and wrong.
Amidst expectations and confusion, we demand understanding and reciprocation.
The fight, the pleasure, the fear, everything is

Default Positions
Nothing hurts more
than the blunted arrow
the grazing punch,
the half-slur.
Insinuation
from a sibilant slander
whispered to a sleeping cat
haunts many ears.
She was a woman dammed to be
a love for me. My curse
was to desire her.
We were a cage-fight for passions
yet in the end
no one was hailed a winner,
we limped away
damaged by near misses.
Nothing stings
as much as a

Change of Positions
Lime green spider on his web
Revealed by the rising sun
Whose sunbeams are fractured through pines
And its shadows eerily spun
The woodpecker so busy now
His hammer creates design
Does the tree shrink in pain and scream?
His work to one tree confined
So quiet when traffic stops~still
The sound of nature calm
Each bird's song penetrates my soul
Like a liquid soothing

On Vanilla Missionary Positions
When you folks are producing
your vanilla missionary practice,
who plays your Yang strong predator perception
and who prefers Yin reflexible reception?
Do you politically
and/or economically
flip his/her ecofeminist flop?
I'm sorry
but I do not speak of physical flops
mental drops
mindbody cross-fertilizing crops,
so I actively hope I don't understand your question,
with both of its bipartisan role play parts
divisively apart
Inhaling v. exhaling,
informing v.

Polarizing Positions
It might be time
of the season
to recall
bipartisan reason
To remember
that we against you
and you against we
does not grow
a balance of powerful democracy
But, instead of balanced empowerment,
mutual cooperation,
Firing up eco-political double-binding
promises to relentlessly hate
what I resonantly like
and like
what I ambitiously hate,
offers only competitive
unbalanced runaway disempowerment.
Evolution of power,
regenerative,
requires dipolar both/and
healthy democracy Trust
where devolution of powers,
degenerative,
fade either/or polarizing away

Volleyball: Contacts and Connects

always look up.
birds with no wings.
legs made of springs.
shields and walls,
no time to fall.
persistent yet sly
jumps up high
trust and threat
eyes waiting to set
beam of light
bears unwavering fights.
decoy and ace
worthy of all praise
like divers in the sea,
rough, painful, yet free.

Love's Positions
I'm love’s iPad ready for an embrace.
Steve Jobs got credit for the touch interface
But mine's up and running with all the updates
I'm love's police regulating the pace
"you took that curve a little fast - this isn't a race."
I'm love's surveyor drawing the lines
"the pilgrims want to explore a new area this time."
I'm love's conductor -

Compromising Positions
A night that truly almost never came
A number that I almost never called
And yet when I look back I am enthralled
Since then my life has never been the same
We met and I knew nothing but your name
How could I plan when nothing, I recalled
My nerves had taken over and I stalled
I never knew just how

Positions
Men came into this life at their mother's breast,
and continued into adulthood with a similar quest,
women rightfully positioned themselves above everything,
and a 'Hillary' nearly made the fat lady sing,
while others are more interested in soixante-neuf,
I would ask : what do you think that you're worth,
It dorsn't matter who is on top and who
