A Journal on Profundity

So... today I begin my journal.
Where do I begin?
How do I begin?
Without, within... the confines of a page, like a prison wall the surrounds my thoughts.
"You must color within the lines" I recall my kindergarten teacher instructing us, otherwise we won't graduate and move on to first grade.  
And at 58, that merciless and

The Pursuit of Profundity

     The pursuit of profundity
         prior to simplicity 
            educes sterility

      Mere simplicity
         sans profundity

When Death Stopped for Me

Because I could not escape from Life –  
It rudely dragged me forth –  
The chaos swirled, consuming all –  
And Oblivion, my worth.

We raced through days – no time to rest –  
And I, a frantic pawn –  
My dreams and hopes, discarded, lost –  
For Life's relentless

Personal Profundity

Three men sit in a room.

One is incredibly smart.

Another has common sense.

The third has only a pen, a mirror, and the irksome desire to be profound.

He, I am sure, is the poet.

THERE IS PROFUNDITY IN TOGETHERNESS

My hands will glow,
rising higher, ebbing
and flowing
with the gold-glass sea.
Herald of angels in our midst
as we kiss the feet of Christ.
For the earth is His hassock. 

My soles will rejoice
as they crush
sweet-scented petals.
Invisible to the naked
eye. Good news spreads fast.
A whirlwind of death to life.

My arms will reach
the pinnacles of
pearly gates. There’s healing
in each touch,

Profundity


            It is not the size of the brain that constitutes high intelligence

            It is the profundity of the essence within that exudes radiance

Asexual Profundity

a plum, a peach, a song, a beach
  a bend, a curvy straightaway
a bob, a dip, a dunk, a screech
  a hair-breadth turn took your future away

you nerveless nock, how dare you rock
  this sanctimonious cerebrum with poppycock
it behooves you to hoof it to Timbuktu ~
  haunting howls from the bowels

Profundity

I am mad.
The question is not yet settled
whether all that is profound 
is compassless in the vast ocean of lucid reason
I loved, unguided,
Among many millions of fragrant flowers
Knowing nothing of the world
Without mentor to govern
My tideful mind
A love for which there were no words
A most hermetic love to find
Are these the most arcane experiences to

Verbal Dexterity

I find people often worship at the feet of those

With great literary abilities

These people who posses amazing verbal dexterity

And are advanced in profundity

And speak with a verbosity

That makes others convinced that they are academically and worldly intelligent

But I read between the lines and hear every word they say

And find myself amazed that despite all of

A BIRD TO THE GUYS

My neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Horatio Hornblower had a lawn mower that broke on them
And if you smoke pot and your mouth gets dry don’t eat crackers or you’ll choke on them
