Self-worth over colony
Apathetic worker bee
Vast reduction of honey
Hive’s disparity...

reduction, deduction
less and less intake
more and more output
weight watchers
reach their goal
more or less

Sitting in an art class
A new person speaks
"Art is fresh air for the mind"
They say
I feel it
I'm carving lino
For a reduction print
Untroubled...

The pendulum swings both to and fro
over a chest breathing in so slow,
and as the blade lowers down
a smile is seen, not a frown...
breast reduction for a price so low!...

Sitting here wondering if monkeys really mind
I eat a banana a day, perhaps a petition they've signed
To restrict my consumption
Enforce a reduction
Maybe we can convince them on an all dressed pizza to dine

I'm Olive, a once flatulent cow.
Spinach is all I eat now.
That silly green grass
is a thing of the past,
for a new wind is blowing this hour.
To methane reduction all power!
If you're a cow too,
show assent by a moo.

Comment:
What could be odder
than this switch to new fodder?...

amidst cycles of creation and destruction
of peace and disarray
i must remind myself of where i stand
it’s okay to spiral, it’s human
but i need to take a step back before i make any harmful decisions
feeling is temporary
the pain, the anger, the anxiety
they will pass
good will come again...

Thoughful
Witty outgoing Creative sensitive
Love my Husband cat and being outside
better schooling for kids Bungy Jumping,Recycling, pollution reduction
I get scared sad and giddy
Afraid of small places Death and Spiders
Things I wanna do are bungy jumping hang gliding surfing
resident of the planet earth,

Say goodbye to the future

The final die was cast

After years of pollution

The human race has passed

The answer to our problem

Was just carbon reduction

But we made a decision

That caused our destruction

We ignored all the warnings

No matter what the cost

Once a world full of beauty

Now paradise is lost...

A pithy moon
climbs
on a skull
to unmask the alien,
blacker than coal.

A pregnancy reduction
was needed
to prune out
the motor plan of the moving
target, who had-

a neural circuitry
for obstructing
the light. Can you
transcend a prude who will not
accept a celibate ?

Not so sad, a beautiful face
abandons the darkness.

Let everyone love his neighbor as he loves himself
And folks once more turn to God, to each other for help
Then tensions will ease, with a reduction in stress
   Yet when that will be ~ I wouldn't dare guess

quiet and gentle osmotic percolation 
of magnetic electricity within form
accompanied by ecstatic bliss elation
hypnotic maya delusion slowly disarms 

with reduction of narrow egoic craving
rooted in fleeting identity attachment 
rapturous bliss ignition within continuing  
we flow resistanceless in contentment

Reduction

This is the process
which seems vital
to our time and culture..
We need the experience
that perceptions are
what we know of
the world just now..
The world becomes
subjective..and we find
it has always been so..
So we reduce
the seeming world
to perceiving as object..
Then..that object to
that in which
and as which it is:
Consciousness......

Shards of glass compressed retention
Made a pass for hope ascension
Honey wall no matter silly
Stumble strong tow tally dilly

Master Stein the corner set
Write a draft and then forget
Once a meaning fleeting fast
Like a heartbeat never lasts

Plastered will neglectful matter
Purposeful reduction chatter
Polymorphous agony
To dialect reducing me...

Closest my heart to you
 my eyes and mind devotion,  so true 
My face blush as I see your view
 comfortable

Reverence I your spirit your soul
I embrace your goodness
I pray for your reduction of evil
 emotional

I look, I touch I feel your essence
Your breath a kiss life giving evanescence
Devotion sworn

chemical crane,
 lithium albatross.

 iodized magnetic zion
  in my head.

  i'll run for days,
 inside a solar haze.



corrosive reduction 
under the sun.

the old search for
 the purified lithium.


metallic filter to drain
 the silt.

empty the heart of all
 its guilt.

  
so salt the cracker and 
absolve the sin.

 an alkaline base full 
 of wrinkled skin....

The years slowly crept by
 looking back it came fast
I did not realize that time
can move that fast 
to leave us wondering
in a daze pondering
where did it go.
Each day seems faster 
each night a blur
children grew
grandchildren too
who was to know
age would start to show
in  reflection
--- voicing a rejection
want a retraction
a age reduction
on the close
of another year....

Life, an infirm spark, 
An unsteady flame, 
A powerful blaze, 
Increasing in speed and ability.

To be precise, 
The incomprehensibility, 
The knowledge gathered, 
The continuity and discretion;
The unity, and the strict subordination,
With the reduction of friction and of material at a personal cost,
These are raised to the optimum point;
It is in the strict functionary direction of life....

I see the perfect girl, yet I still refuse to accept the invitation
The means to acquire her beauty would not reveal themselves
the descending power did not fall down upon me
Lack of time, prior attachments, and incompetence had left me a sitting duck
now I sit... left with impertinent, inconsistent, wandering thoughts
without the greatness of her impression
or a quick return promising their reduction...

God of guts, God of fingernails,
God of hair; God of this whole creature,
this fruit of a branching flesh –
garden with us as we grow, bloom,
and wither.
In its right season, its time of reduction, 
as the body-begotten fades,
prepare us a place of a finer dust,
prepare for us a feather-light
and worthy image, a temple enduring.
Make ready for us a place 
where mind enters once more
as wisdom's child....

Paul was at the office when the
first atomic bomb fell and when 
Muntz TVs replaced console radios

and the first man landed on the moon.
He saw the first big computers trucked in 
and locked in a top-secret room.

Paul was an accountant for 50 years
but the day came when he was told 
he was part of a reduction in force. 

Two guards carried his boxes out.
They told Paul in the parking lot  
he was the only one reduced.

I used to imagine that the body
was a sort of fleshy gospel, bound together
by mind and ligaments.
Years of smutch, and oily reduction,
daily, a thin scum to be skimmed -
a process of dross elimination,
but each year there is a teaspoonful of loss
that cannot be explained, made up or accounted for,
more a lessoning and not an alchemy.
If this kind of culinary reduction
keeps losing the fat of me
I will be as nothing,
and maybe that’s the point....

A whistler went outside to play;
He got a bit carried away.
While playing his whistle,
He fell in some thistle;
I heard that thing three miles away!

A young whistle maker's gone daft!
Seems he lost it while honing his craft.
He upset his chances
For further romances
When he drilled the note holes in the shaft.

A buxom young whistler, all that,
Found her whistle impeded by fat.
She had liposuction
And an ample reduction,
But now she's a little bit flat....
