Baubles and bangles
doo-dads and what-nots
Trinkets and knick-knacks
don't stir my pot...
Excitement, adventure
discovery, peril
Launch me over Niagara Falls
pulling levers in a barrel

Giraffe at the watering hole
She splays her forelegs one at a time
levering, leaving dignity
behind, easing down to a
half sideways split; then bends
to drink, hoping no
lion arrives
blood-blushing
head rush
up

Excited steampunk creators
Designing in dastardly studios and attics
Working with fascinating gears and copper levers
A whole new world envisioned in a collective remembrance
Jules Verne watches from his heavenly seat and smiles
Admiring his octopus box from 1869.

Women
we all know are
so many knobs and buttons
strings and levers
volumes and settings
push or pull?
up or down?
speak into the mic
of adjust the equaliser?
all so very confusing
for a simple man
I think I have more chance
with this Rubik's cube
I hold in my hand

As water slowly falls onto
...tiered bamboo pipes,
like gently tipping levers
rhythmic sounds induce peace...
Light breeze astound the senses
aroused from scent of hyacinth,
wafted as a swath of silk,
caressing the skin serenely...
as purpose contemplated.
.....without distractions....

Odd beasts and creatures they are
Part human or animal, some have a scar
Some have ears, whiskers and toes
Others have levers, and hair that glows
An odd band, they have found each other
Acting as each other’s sister and brother
The rest of the health club stays far away
Giving them leeway each and every day

Rhyme
You say see it your way
Trying hard to convince
Me repeat what you say
Each word I painfully wince
Memory has sharp twists
Heavy mind candidly speaks
Reasons counted off lists
Your narrative has leaks
Nonsensical tremors control
The levers of guilt pulled
Relegated to a desperate role
Your idea of brainwashing sold

Ghouls raid the graves, dressed in disguise
And coffin lids with levers prise...
Disturbed in sleep the dead arise.

Oh Syracuse, Syracuse,
A bright star born to you.
This genius of three was touched by a muse.
Pi, levers, bringing a king great mirth;
With his brilliance this man moved the earth.
Oh goddess of the moon,
Indelible event!
Your festival doth give cause to swoon.
Circles, a shadow, slain dead in the sand;
A horror to mask even an enemy's land.

I do not know?
Lily livered lint of a lizard, let him be called
In pious protest of his primevel name
He who in the spinning sun our death installed
Made history mere cinder for the flame
Why mark me with mortality for your material rage
What treasure in life's flesh yet I cage
He slithers between lines scrawled on a creeping page
And leaf by leaf levers love with lurid rage.

Verse
("Perception/Reality Merit Badge" #62, 2015, original oil)
Smoke and Mirrors
Amid the flux
Of shimmering sound and vision
Someone is lying
Is it your eyes
Is it your ears
Is it those pulling the levers
And splicing the tapes
Or is it all of the above?
In the end
It’s not the lying that matters
Since that’s what senses
And people do
It’s the believing
That will get you in trouble
Every time.

Narrative
The robot fancied he could write,
And so he scribbled through the night
And without fail sent off each tale—
Soon the world would know his name!
His levers clicked, his motors purred,
His gears and little wheels, they whirred—
But all came back with printed black
Notices that read the same.
At last the robot hired a “ghost”
Who fixed his manuscripts till most
Of them were placed, and soon they graced
Magazines—for cash and fame!

Verse
Sometimes get stuck on a solo mission
As the only ticketed passenger in sight
But alternative routes are available
We just need to book our return flight
Begins by checking in with ourselves
To take inventory of our baggage
Choice in claiming what we keep
Option to offload damaged luggage
Purposely piloting our own plane now
Pulling levers to navigate any weather
Time to maneuver back into formation
Since life is better when flying together

Rhyme
Europe won't survive a cold winter
Israel's and Saudi's ties to us grow thinner
Latin America now under communism's spell
Iran, India, Turkey among Russia's clientele
Mr. Putin's grand strategy now nearly in place
Come say a prayer for the human race
Ukraine can't hold out forever
After that, watch Vladimir pull his levers
Either the United States grows a spine
Or soon on potatoes and cheap vodka we dine
~ Bone up on your Russian, Comrades! ~

Couplet
Dust settles
Vibrations loosen
the dust on my piano,
releasing tiny particles
into a rectangle sunbeam
dancing about the glass,
as I play compositions
on freeform keys,
fingered imagination
frantically moving
levers in never before
heard melodies
with a locked
sustain pedal
holding each note
to gradually evanesce
into the silence
awaiting your return
as the dust
once again
settles
