Mercurial freedom
Beyond sexuality
Love trumping weakness
—truth beyond lies
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)
The light gets richer
approaching the end
Warmth trumping distance
—goodbye an old friend
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
Charted lanes of custom,
complacency alights
familiarity trumping all
—mindless in the night

Good and bad are truisms…
a qualitative masquerade

Sword of
the noble
With fury
unsheathed
Trumping
dishonor
And knaves
unreprieved
Knighted in
armor
Endowed
from on high
Legend
heraldic
With duty
— reprised
(The New Room: September, 2024)
Dancing on the fringes
waltzing through the fire
Tango once the step of choice
driven by desire
Life a dark flamenco
words to not intrude
Motion trumping conscious thought
—foxtrot interlude
(Dreamsleep: August, 2022)
Ace
Top card
Trumping all
Beats the high King
Into submission
Forcing him down the deck
To acknowledge the lowly
And accept all have their betters
New game begins with different aims
Shuffle serves to level the playing field
When democratic gratitude
performs with politically positive
caste-abolishing attitude
Then autocratic certitude
and kleptocratic magnitude
do not negatively deform
with unenlightened
and disempowering
caste-preserving platitudes.
Time not only seems to be speeding up…
it actually is
Perception trumping reality looking forward,
not looking back
Undercooked moments blow into the future,
their aroma unsettling
As tomorrow disowns today
—lamenting the past
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)
A Devil's ad
How do we tell
If Earth's about
To go to hell?
Two leaders, dim
Twice immature
Consider carnage
Cogent cure
If in the midst
Of dueling ids
Cans get kicked
While blowing lids
That final conflict
Fools will fend
Reaping us ALL
Our dusty ...
END.
Take life for every minute it gives
Spend time like dust specks gathered
Free your mind off taunted shadowed thoughts
Clean the mind unfurl coiled negative energy
Walk equipoised trumping rooted darkness
Rejuvinate coarse emotions thrusting chuffs
Run a mile and count the escalations
Forgo the tumbles and stand chin up.
Form:
There’s something more valued
than dollars and cents…
humanity trumping pretend
Your mantra has been
that “winning’s enough”
losing yourself in the end
Each attempt to be clever
and self-aggrandize
takes you away from what’s real
The most treasured of things
to be loved and endeared
—your actions can’t borrow or steal
(The New Room: September, 2021)
They burnt tons of tusks
But the felled beasts
Remained silent still
In the spirit realm
Watching the fire slowly
Consume pieces of themselves
Waiting quietly
In that realm
Where their glorious trumping
Is not perceptible to the living
Waiting patiently
For their brothers, sisters
Sons, daughters and
Pieces of themselves
To join them
In the silence of the spirits
For real in keeping it real.
Ornery man in the political arena -
Xylophone players of classical music support is essential.
Trumping it to be the next in the Oval Office.
Rococo effect you strive for.
Ordinary people are against your representation.
Trump, Donald will be the succeeding President?

Written March 22, 2016 for the U.S.A President Campaign 2016!
Reading all the news
I sit here and reflect,
All those people said “he’s sick”-
Now currently correct.
President in quarantine
And his trophy wife,
What a marriage they do have-
Such quality of life.
Though they’ll have the best of care
I’m not at all desirous,
The super model nudist
And the husband who’s a virus.
Good USA people
Just know when you’re in doubt
He may die-oh why oh why
Or “Trump” the Covid out!
