I am flattered to matter so much that
you intend to keep your eyes on me.
Even when I am home you want to see
how all fares with my activities.
Such a preponderance of concern
is truly something I haven’t earned.
If being violated, observed, is
mandatory, I’d prefer to have a
Big Sister watching my female self
in every room of the house.
Will I be viewed in my car, the one
place I may freely sing off tune?
If so, I expect no criticisms,
hitting the mute will have to do.
I’d have to give up so very much,
like scratching where it itches,
picking my nose in a fierce dig,
wearing hobo or very little clothes,
and eating food that just hit the floor.
How do I know I won’t be taped,
my parts cropped for pervert art?
If the honey, I should get some money.
I have to say I am mighty boring.
Sister or brother should take care,
put a kotex on their forehead to
reduce soreness when snoring
heads slam down hard on their desk.
Who will watch the watcher of me?
Oh, I know, our shared Big Father will
see your sincere gaze aiding me.

I was in the halfway house in Mitchell. Did you visit the Corn Palace or the doll shop?
I heard you are in Aberdeen. I am still your dream?

Idea of profit hope for snowflake March and November rain. Are you leading back to Rapid City or Pine Ridge?
I was in the halfway house in Mitchell. Did you visit the Corn Palace or the doll shop?
I heard you are in Aberdeen. I am still your dream?
Symmetrical preponderance stopwatch courthouse cuckoo clock
Spitting on gravestones North Minnesota
Silence pierced through the thick blanket
Of his thoughts, heretofore plagued
By a quaff of exhaled tobacco,
Spiralling and somersaulting in the air,
Like a fierce missile
Sent on a sinister mission,
Before mercilessly, ricocheting
Against the backdrop of his unassuming ceiling
There he stood
Imagining the gigantic impact
Of a tiny veil of vapor
As it burst forth from his nostrils
In a single file, before spreading it's renegade black wings,
Intimidatingly traversing every corner of the room;
He googled as the vapor ascended in a frenzy,
Like a gush of morning Dew,
Swaddling the orbit,
Before being subdued by a battalion of torrential rain,
Descending from the sky defiantly;
To proclaim the Cacophony and preponderance
Of the generic nature of life.
There on a mound a crime today is born
How can you build there with unbridled trust
To this day, citizens from hell can scorn
Preponderance of evidence, shows lust
Those left behind beneath the grass are lost
Each sentient soul sold to the lot of grief
Left overs are we who now know the cost
Forged over millenniums as wanton thieves
You are not poisoned, prisoners of deeds
Where each breath is but a reflex taken
Through time we seek out levels for our creed
As clarity finds heaven an awakening
On a breeze, criminals hang there from trees
With strange ideas of freedom, being free
mellow morning rise
infinite birds of passage
collapse into light
Skies of endless pastures
Rivers of reverence
lakes of love
Streams of silence
Ponds of preponderance
Puddles of peace
Droplets of dreams
Mist of memories
Fog of forgiveness
Valleys of driftwood clouds
Winds of benevolent breezes
Mountains of minute measures
Oceans of tender tides
Seas of sentient songs
Landscapes of love's longing
Universal appeals united
Galaxial gnome gatherings
Stepping star stairways to Heaven
Parallel worlds align
Savior signs consign
Clarities of being to being
We follow that infinite road.
Directions:
From physical Death,
Segue onto Soul St.,
follow the lasting lights to tunnel
Exit—Eternal, float onto Aura Avenue
next stop, Nabbana, your one step to a
Touch free existence.
It's always functional a scream that stops
Or word that strangles
The walk of those who want us to be failures,
Null of what we would be if it weren't for them
Proliferators of our nightmares.
Because who hasn't feared in dreams
The ascendancy of bad days
And the preponderance of opposites,
In a life that forces you to kneel,
Eyes on the ground and deserving little and nothing
Whence is everything owed to him correctly?
I only trust this mistrust that we have
From dark afternoons and barely audible sobs.
If the day sneaks in the black clouds
And our whole foolish life falls into tears
Seeing what could have been beautiful
If it were us that time...
If it ever happened to us again...
If life had the same taste and color
From old lands and fresh fruit
Of that world we buried
For turning corners and leaving too fast,
Giving up the cure for our ills
Forgetting what we would know
When pain taught to survive,
When we still didn't think of ourselves as cowards,
the weak,
the voids,
that we will be
No Covid Jab
Present a preponderance of irrefutable evidence
and convince the world that the covid jab
is not an experimental pharmaceutical drug.
Coward, you dare to hide and break the quill,
Instead of changing your ways, all your wrongs;
Arrogance yours, so you do as you will,
Perseverance theirs, so truth they shall long;
By luck, no doubt, predecessors escaped,
But time has been cruel, trust dwindled away;
Claim to be chosen by preponderance,
Pray investigation doesn’t show dismay;
But there are willful birds and trees, so steal,
Another awaits to be of service,
To spray your ink in papers far and near,
For masses to read aloud, exhibit;
So change your ways, unfrightened of reveal,
Embrace the quill as friend not foe, lest cheat.
Written in Iambic Pentameter
Sometimes problems appear to come in batches,
and finding solutions is like trying to light wet wood.
This futile attempt is a mere waste of matches,
and the results will be smoke in all likelihood.
When I allow a problem to defeat me today,
It continues to occupy my time tomorrow.
Ignoring a problem just increases its stay,
Which often leads to heartache and sorrow.
The preponderance of a problem that may exist,
Psychologically influences my solution.
No matter the size it shouldn’t be dismissed,
Through prayer and searching comes resolution.
I tell myself
Courage must come from the soul within
You must finish the win to win
So figure it out yourself
You were born with all the Great have had,
Get hold of yourself and say 'I can '
LOVE'S SOBRIETY
Nightfall's preponderance and day's ignominy
Jealous of the neon-eyed night
That I don't spend with you
Wondering who you lie next to
Your voice screeched into days
When we could not see,
Jealous of the love...
Love that wasn't here,
Gone for someone else to share
You erect high ice wall around my heart
Towering far above my sight and simplicity
My Achilles heel drowning at your skyscrapers,
Bearing down on me like a berserk Buffalo,
Parted were your clouds that clothed my sky
Upon consciousness thoughts
Invasive was the mind
Myriad vacuums of a forlorn heart
On the lonesome surge into your infinite pool
With every gusto sing I the psalters
We stir to the rhythm of nature
Give me one million nights
To drink the ale of your love
And you'll be my only perpetual guest,
Ox or Ass, none will I plow with
But will pilfer the moon just to make you gay,
Wouldn't lay down my sword to slay
If you are worth all the fight,
A thousand miles race just to stay one night
Because one lost night may last for eternity
To earnestly light up love's sobriety.

Along the shortest road ever (a treacherous journey)
An opening appeared before me;
bright equations bleeding time squished all memory
of who i was, am, or might be -- a preponderance
of suddenly)meets the long shaman of my Thoughts.
I lassoed upon a mote of dust (cherubs swinging
Cherubs singing) & rode myself )not that way( Toward
a Whole certain corner ) ___and touched mySelf
Searched mySelf ...forget mySelf when i think of
How many broken Kewpie dolls cry silently for-
Everfully & mySelf & and myHeart and mySoul
Invent grand ideas of Enormous Language
that touches allHearts!

All About Answers
When I ask the right question to the wrong person
I’m usually answered with a stare.
Take Note
The longer your question, the shorter my answer becomes.
Correct Answers
I believe all my answers to be correct,
but many of the questions I take out of context.
Problems
The preponderance of a problem
has a psychological influence over my solution.
Defeat
The problem that I allow to defeat me today,
Will continue to stand before me tomorrow.
I accept not defeat, and rarely take prisoners.
At times our reaction is less desirable,
than the action that gave it birth.
Opinions
Your two cents worth may have great value to some
but to me it’s worth exactly two cents.
For the man whose mistakes are foreign
I give the right to criticize me.
We never take criticism, It’s always freely given
Birth gives you life,
environment determines its quality.
