Recurrent Ruse


They come to her hungry - hopeful
To be fed facile fantasy, a script he held 
Stowed in  boyhood through decades
Recessed where sweating shame dwelled 
Invisible while he achieved accolades 
Gridiron big man outperform boastful


Invited him - initial meeting innocent, ice cream
Daddy intrigued by her earnest licking nimble 
Turquoise tip of nose - How is

            but then it happens
                       again-and-again

Recurrent Sneezing Fit By Ma Chew Too

This thick mucous essentially 
the defense mechanism of a healthy 
body electric to restore biz zee nose 
as usual, which for this mild mannered 
liberal leitmotif from the chronicle of one 
matted nattering nabob of nativity attests 
congested mob functioning like 
a well lubricated machine, yet 
for the life of me, nary a handy dandy

Recurrent Depression

Help!
I think I’m sinking,
Into a dark hole
Again.

I don’t want to go back,
I can't take it anymore.
It’s cold and dark and lonely,
Please don’t let me go.

I want to stay close to the light,
I want to live,
Not merely exist.

Please throw me a lifeline,
There’s so much sorrow
That I’m drowning in my misery.
Help me please!
I’m sinking
Again.

My Recurrent Dream, Translation of Paul Verlaine's Sonnet: Mon Reve Familier

My Recurrent Dream, Translation of Paul Verlaine's Sonnet : Mon Rêve Familier

I'm often subject to a strange and invasive dream
Of an elusive woman whom I love, and who loves me  
And who at every encounter might not the same be
Nor altogether another be, yet forbearing in her love seem.
 
For knowing how my open

Recurrent

Like the old songs goes, 
The sun set upon the shore. 
Waiting to be sang. 
Lovers kissing their goodbyes 
High, nigh finally aligned.

Recurrent Dream

Inside a harbor inn
Where fateful voyages begin
An old man waits for me…
I enter, recklessly.

The barmaid brings the jug
And pours him out a frothy mug,
And lights a lamp for him
To read by, in the dim.

The old man wears a mask;
I hear him humorously ask
“Perhaps you care to look
Inside my ledger book?”

Instead, I flee that place—
For he

Recurrent Mess

Accurately predicting disasters,
History just fights through museum glasses.
The wars gone make place for the new,
From sticks and stones to nuclear stew.

It seems so silly, so absurd
That man has still not learned. 
Since when are words so powerless
That only guns can solve the mess?

No matter how high-tech we get
We can’t avoid the cruel regret,
Of not seeing
