Recycled
Born out of time,
I felt different from mankind.
As a child I would fly at night
and leave the body behind.
Soaring like an eagle
I am dust upon the wing.
I am atoms in the morning air
I am part of everything
I am deep within the soil
I am one with giant trees
I am in between

Depression recycled
Empty work resists an empty home
Too much to bear without clinking bottles
Swaying in a plastic bag like seasick genies
Empty life finding harbor in emptiness
Even if it’s something to feel guilty again
It’s like welcoming Legions for guests
Something to keep depression company
Keep them occupied, let them kill the hours
The hours are Prometheus dripping red
Why does my

recycled reflections
crawling words
slithering
waiting for something
questions without answers
in the zone of twilight rerror
Oh No!
erring inhumanly
gaslighting
becoming gas
volcanic eruption
savage rays
in the breezy trees
insanely iconic
epic hunt
beyond reason
a dangerous game
a masked requiem for a virulent era
a robotic rumination
fleeing...
raging rubble
deliverance...?

Recycled Summer
Florida recycles Summer heat,
a slower version of a hot beat;
Fall’s still smoking;
Leaves crack and dull to brown
skipping the colors of Autumn;
Southern sky’s daunting;
September’s a soft shadow
with hollowed flames to follow;
Serotonin’s falling;
Freckled skin still a bit warm,
season has no time to transform;
Sunburn’s resurfacing.

Please Release My Ashes
Later this month I'll be seventy-three.
Thus this gift of longevity.
I seldom feel old and am told I don't look it
but that one-way ticket, I have pre-booked it.
The fear of dying doesn't rattle me, only if it comes
with suffering and misery.
Most people would prefer to just "go" in their
sleep, while they peacefully lay there counting

Recycled
The grown-ups did not feel, we thought,
We, students, never with them fought;
We recycled wastes, yet,
Out of these got cribs set;
We have, truly, a new fact taught...!

Relaying the conveying of alarming apex
Son’s getting hotter, sending flares, scorching heirs
The roof is on fire, but folks serving gas in meme
Unleaded or maybe I’m just fed up in

Recycled
I have gone through many storms.
Some I thought would capsize the boat,
and drown both me,
and my beloved children.
At the first sign of squall,
I tried to be ready.
As the storm approached I gathered all that I could,
to make sure, we would not run short... of necessities.
I tried to close

TIME issues:
1. Whenever I am short on time, I eat my watch, and always have seconds to spare.
2. Why do I still buy old clocks and collectible watches in a cellphone age? I love keeping time.

Recycled Presents
She sent a pair of floral plaques,
to me, and pretty though they were,
I wasn't thrilled at all because
they were the ones I'd sent to her...

She Recycled
She recycled the flowers as they lay in their beds.
She recycled the gown in which she once wed.
She recycled her food so that others were fed.
She recycled her tires once they lost their tread.
She recycled those thoughts that were stuck in her head
and she wove them in words as they rapidly spread.
They tore thru tendons

Recycled Soul
Something tells me I’ve been here before
In my past, but not long ago
I’ve justified, many weak alibis
And repent for this recycled soul
I repent for my recycled soul
But I still keep the devil in tow
I’ve been scraped off the floor
Put together once more
So won’t you pray for my recycled soul
Yesterday found me in Heaven
But

You Are the Universe, Not Just Stardust Darling Slaves
food, god, and the universe as you
You are the universe (I insist and will prove it)
So say grace before you eat ...
You agree we are stardust, the stuff of the Universe
So say grace before you eat, but think productively ...
If stars & humans are stardust, why not the food we eat?
So say grace before you
