ticking timebomb;
found peace-
bomb defused.

A simulated consciousness
beyond our will to choose
Defying Einstein, Bohr, and Hume
where logic stands defused 

The matter at hand can’t matter
when rules unwrite themselves
An order once thought preordained
—entropic and indwelt

Finding a way out of the maze
Depends on how one is raised
Opportunity casually dressed

Oceans, woods, abused, confused!
Mother nature not amused!
Her bellies aching.
Mistakes we're making!
Time pollution was defused!

Marine waters plight.
Or suffer our own devolution!...

Christmas
(dedicated to all my friends at PS. Merry Christmas to everyone!) 


Christmas:
Angels’ trumpeting  
Humanity’s rupture 
Salvation’s hope

Into our soul’s crib
The divine light is defused 
Indifference’s darkness 
Disperses  
Truth shines bright
Love reigns on earth. 

Christmas: 
Christ is born
Rejoice!
GOD our LORD still believes
In Us!

of linoleum spite.
to burn with it
the miles
up between us and flight

- but gravity, gravity

paves a path
to nearest harbor;
the egg lands on the catch
of my palm’s 
bomb-hatch,

wingless.
defused.

a message maydayed to me:

are you tethered to the merest tock?
threatened by the slightest flick of wind?...
