Boiling head
troublesome desires
searching hands	
open mouth
storehouse belly
restless limbs
curious camera eyes
laboratory tongue
test tube nostrils
and software brain
but no device for replay

Listen to poem:

why did he lay dead
no voice to say, dead in head,
faked an AI voice instead

When I was young,
my edges raw,
my feelings open,
my thoughts my own

Now that I’m old,
those edges scarred,
those feelings transient
—those thoughts my own

Leaving room
  for the reader 
  to grow within
  what you write
  insures immortality
  connecting your words
  permanently to their
  feelings
  creating a home
  where the meaning 
    —can live

The so called Tinder Swindler is a Coward
He is a Joke
One Netflix documentary and the pathetic little man
Vanished in a puff of smoke
An imaginative guy whose games are over now
Plastic surgery may transform that face
But the evil that resides in those eyes and soul can never be replaced!...

Have I ever told you that I have boisterous brawls with
myself over what type of tv show to watch—Greek myth,
nature, comedy, murder mystery, Covid documentary,
or science? We can never agree. So I end up writing poetry
about how this isolation is good for us—I mean ME!

I step inside Walmart with no pep
today is silent with hardly any talk
there waiting for me to put in cent’s
surprised, yeah
one shouts not a penny
a penny I will give them
for waste of wait time and effort 
not a new shiny one
but a old dirty one
he’s heading home
tomorrow we know he won’t be out
complete dirty work over-sleep 
take naps while we trade off
no worries tomorrow we’ll take you 
then bind you...

Samantha, my cat, put on her glasses
and sat by the tv today..
Besides being cute she's very astute
at keeping winter blues at bay..
When she can't find her pen, she'll
turn on CNN and see what their
commentators say,
but it's really not her turf so other
channels she'd surf, until she saw some thing okay..
Samantha found the Migration of Birds and if a cat
could speak words, "that documentary was awesome" she'd say....

Jan Allyson lives on The Isle of Man
Where “today” has yet to catch up
Watched a documentary on TV recently
What a charming wee isle it tis
“Yesterday” is everywhere you look
In this fast paced life of today
Jan must be aware of how lucky she is
To be surrounded by such beauty
To wake up each morning
To this charming slice of paradise
Must be absolutely overwhelming  
Dear Jan, I am so envious of your wee isle...

Documentary on The War *
More and more and more!
America the Great.
Nam to Watergate,
With plenty more in store.

Don't know if I'm pessimistic
or just a shade realistic.
Politicians lie.
Easy sales. We buy!
Perhaps a bit simplistic.

It was "way back then."
Sam took it on the chin.
I'll watch it all.
I did my call,
But I wouldn't do it again


*18 hour (!!!)  television series about the Vietnam War currently showing on PBS...

Down in the dumps
Ducks drop in dams
Design the due in daily dots
Documentary life dreamt as a slept dog.

Do or die
Doesn't go down
Deplete or defunct
Dim fights betrayal in doo-wop
Dancing daily in dams
Daily bread, daily living.

Right as rain
Remembering the rainfall drops
Real green relaxes under the rules
The rule of evidenced remedies
The ribs remember the rigs
Ro-setta stone coins
Real life repeats.
	13, April. 2018...
