Careless Moments
...I should have grinned when morning came
Atop posts of gaping day, with lunatics
Humming dirges of a broken world.
I remained glued to my gloom.
Rising from the pit of hell, I held

It ain’t heavy it’s my boulder
...One must imagine Sisyphus’s
boulder, marble-sized these days
And Ozymandias’ plaque,
spinning despair into praise
Look on, ye hypocrites,
and sneer at my undoing
Your universe is a giant sand...

Catch As Catch Can
...I've little or no chance. Should I go for the kill?
With my skill and will, I must till every hard hill.
I'm my government. I must make my decision.
Amidst moral schisms, I have endless vision.

On the Threshold of Depravities' Door
...
I objestigate between arabesques and sleep,
fugaciously spasmodic in fluxes and leaps.
I'm indifferent to the misanthropic mocking,
that welltering inflection that I call plockingism...

God's Replacements
...Nietzsche declared that God is dead
Since thoughts of Him man’s heart has fled.
If it is true that God is dead
Let hearts of men be filled with dread.
Once God had died the race was on

Kaleidoscope Girl
...Kaleidoscope Girl
She is made of glass
of broken pieces
And shattered fragments
She has jagged edges
That splintered my soul
She has wounded me
And my scars healed
With drops of her seal...

Standing Naked In the World of the Undressed

Schisms
...We are winded and on the ropes. Backwater banjo boys
strum against us. Clouds feed upon a shoaling light.
A bad day for going out or staying in.

The table booked for one-fifteen and now it’s ten-past-two,
The waiting staff are anxious, they want me to move on,
Their patience was exhausted ...

Of Fatalism
...Oh God, the fatal “ism” of the “isms”
The heart and soul of life
And all its schisms.
Collisions at great speed
That caused it all
Or wait!! Perhaps…If Eve….

Pray tell...
