(Another childhood or teen years poem.)
Newsprint small talk
in Mediocrity's lead pot
rustles and gossips while,
splashed spectacularly across
the speckled page of
Society's intellect,
a murder making column one
hides the hushed massacre
of minds.
Nothing much said
Rejig what's paid
No news to pitch
Bad tales then hitch
Recast the bad
Sales up not bad
Newsprint seeds poise
Hurl mouth of choice
Puff pungent smoke
Tragic news poke

Singapore
folded into her
own crinkled
wrinkled
newsprint self,
delight and enthusiasm rapidly
dissipate
Torn pieces of herself
languish
in her own self-imposed
purgatory
joyless, she sees nothing
of her former light.
In greyscale, her
essence
waits in anguish for
the return of self.
Those motel memories return.
The colored comic pages opened first
And water bubbling in an urn
And powdered coffee slaking my communion thirst.
Montana windswept plains outside.
Stark desolation’s existential rites within.
But earth I’ve trekked since then rolls wide:
And prayer, not newsprint, now assuages sin.
Finding the heart of
my place,
birds peep
Songs tweet
At singing beach…
everything sings
around here.
We strangers
settle
into
early a.m. newsprint
revelry,
by the glass of a
morning sea
reflecting a morning
sky.
Someone’s tune
dances
a polka
stepping across the
bay – and
everything
is
coming
up
music
this year.
Each box holds its secret.
Old memories, dreams that died.
The sum of every promise-
the dividends and sighs.
Paper, cloth, and pottery-
a postscript of our prime.
Wrapped in yellow newsprint-
the passing of our time.
Clutter from our passions
lay there dead in place.
While ties among the living
die somewhere else in space.

I took out Add Space
To Crow Lyrical
Boom back from Self-Imposed sabbatical
So welcome to my Title Shot
At the Big Show
Or heaven forbid
Critically maligned follow up failure
That ends in recriminations and tears
And once upon a time former champions of my cause
No longer taking or receiving my calls
Success takes Ages
Failure is Instant
