My mind 
Slow
Reptilian 
Today
What I am

Light 
Inch forward
Survival 

Only now
No tomorrow
Nothing
To think...

on a rock-
reptilian gargoyle

angry wind
sweeps across land-

SATAN is:

a mind bending
  never ending
     reptilian 
    slithering
   underbelly
      licking
    taste of
ashes to ashes
      and 
dust to dust 
      fame....

Reptilian creatures defy grace
Suzanne has eighty visiting her place
     She could not leave her home
     There was no room to roam
Confined – until a gator cleared space

Scuttlebutt ran in and bit me.
Harder than a mosquito bites.
I yelled ouch!

Scuttlebutt did a summersault
into my reptilian brain.
She is easy to antagonize.

Scuttlebutt chuckled
So I pulled out my big gun.
Ignore....

Not cut from the same cloth
humanity has been brain washed
I'm the type who loves to watch
look to the left and cough
she's thick in that primordial sauce
primitive temptations
invading my reptilian thoughts
set mountains ablaze
to attract gaint moths
only
to
be
squashed...

Move fast when given a reason to strike,
I go hard become my blood and turn cold; 
My venom exactly what it seems like,
as is the firm squeeze of my stranglehold; 
Upon disrespect my weapons hitchhike 
the nonsense you speak is becoming old;
I’m fighting a reptilian response 
brought on by all of my reconnaissance....

the nuclear snakes
   slither into disaster
warheads waiting 
   in the dithering wings

~~~!~~~X~~~#~~~>>>

light explodes
darkness erupts
fiery projectiles 
  obliterate without mercy

<<<~~~#~~~X~~~!~~~

the reptilian warlords
  fumble through flames
apocalypse waiting
  amid withering declarations...

does an animal hay a sayel
can it rise above
can it sacrifice itsel'
fur the ones it loves

induce me we' pleasure
reject me we' pain
is there any compassion
in a reptilian brain

fight or flight
i dinne' want te die
can an insect or snake
mourn,cry

'sorry for inturrupting the programming
but we have breaking news
you're mind is the cosmos
god is you...

A TAIL IS A TALE

Before they are born
All creatures have the same form

Such embryos whether reptilian, animal or human 
Charcteristics the same: difference is illusion

Gestational tails are had by all species
Required by nature as one of life's necessities

So when next a human looks at animals as second class
Look behind to make sure no tail hangs from his ass...

Listen to poem:

Timeless and haunting
Recurring nightmares
Trauma resurfacing
Over and over again

Reasoning through images
Ongoing healing
Resisting auto pilot
Inventing resolutions
And re-inventing
Rinse and repeat

New scenarios
New outcomes
Letting go of trauma
Releasing
Reprogramming
Rinse and repeat

in her vertical mouth
her tongue stood out
glowing in the dark
gaping staying open
taking me closer
to pleasing me
pleasing her

the lights were off
her breathing soft
as well as her skin
still leading me in 
with my hunger
the gloworm 
dripping in
a warm

oraface where finally
i find my tongue
touching her's
as the jaws
shut fast
i'm caught
she's a snapping

The man who spurned two love-wrought snakes 
   In reptilian copulation
      The blind seer, auspicious he
   And his clairvoyant recitation.

Born a male and died a man
   But for committing a transgression,
      Lived some years on the distaff side
   In a feminine intercession.

At the moral of the auger's tale,
   The head, interspecting, nods:
      We should take an active role
   In abiding by the gods....

There is the undertone of a haunting melodic presence
unheard by others because she wants my attention
I do not immediately recognize her lamenting song
however her voice is unique and cuts to my reptilian brain
My heart keens to her presence, there is a sorrowful joy
I have not heard her song for over twenty-eight years.
It is a day for listening and appreciating her ethereal efforts
Proof that spirit can return to this side of the veil....

Rehearsed words tumble from his tongue
capable of vaporizing
feelings; then with his briefest smile
becomes the redresser once more
leaving the object of his words
emotionally traumatized:
Mind raping at its finest form;
Cold-bloodedness runs through his veins
colder than any ectotherm;
Temperament worse than the worst
lacking the slightest compunction;
More like reptilian than human
this controlling creature thriven
on human mental frailties....

Here’s the best thing you should know,
if ever to Australia you go.
Don’t ever wind up as a feast,
for this voracious reptilian beast.
For your reasoning surely would be faulty,
if you ever “muck about” with a “SALTY”.
And don’t think he was born with a tooth that’s “SWEET”.
To him you are just another piece of meat.
So if you must visit his polluted “Billabong” retreat,
 make sure the only thing he swallows is what you excrete!


For the Sweet or Salty contest...

I am turtle
and I roam.
From town to town,
carry my home,
upon my back
and that’s a fact.

A more patient creature
you’ll not see;
my best feature,
is to patient, be.
I take my time
and always arrive.

An world observer,
with great fervor;
I’ll always arrive
when disaster strikes;
with my house on my back
and emergency packs.

Your reptilian friend
until the end.
On land and sea,
I’ll always be.
For Turtle am I 
and I always arrive.

I know a crafty old reptilian
Who answers to the name of Jillian.

She has often been around the loop
Without simmering in turtle soup.

Whenever she feels the need to roam
She travels in her mobile home.

She lives now at the local zoo
And doesn't mind that she's on view.

Each Thursday she is the headlined feature.
After seeing this amazing creature

I don't think anyone would stoop
To order a bowl of turtle soup.




Took 9th place in Turtle Soup contest...

Sirius sneers
& terrestrial fools 
fiddle

hateful heat domes
crush & deflate
as the earth smolders
& the oceans sizzle
   in the
   season
   of
   hell

apocalyptic eruptions
decorate the dark
angry turbulent skies
unleashing
vertically cruel
scathing tsunamis
in chaotic yet
clockwork rituals
  as our incipient
  Anthropocene
  commences
  efficient
  anti-terraforming

we enter
the gates of
hell & become
reptilian
  under
  the barking
  Dog Star...

Slither slither to and fro
A senseless pattern as you go
Reptilian fashion cold remorse
Emotionless as if a corpse
No point in loving 
You have no heart
Cold hearted being 
Right from the start
Swallowing prey
And love alike
Makes no difference
No teeth to bite
Serpentile demeanor
How cold you are
I loved you 
Right from the start
Shame on me
Brainless fool
Manipulated by a
Reptilian tool
It's not your fault
You have no heart
I should have sensed it
From the start....
