Burden Child

You were never meant to be a vessel of sorrow,
Yet the world placed its trembling hands on you.
A child seen as an outcast has no place here, they said,
Treated like a beast than an actual human being.

A childhood of watching, listening, holding secrets like sharp stones in tender palms,
Smiles practiced, tears swallowed, the weight of

Umbrage Taken

     Offense not mistaken
       umbrage is taken

     Laxity implanted ~
       pardon lightly granted

Left and Right, or Should I Say Wrong

The Left and Right today
Are like East and West,
Different worlds that never shall meet,
Or if they do meet
Won’t hear or understand much 
Of the other anyway.

Each is in a bubble,
Comfortable and secure.

The difference is,
And it’s a difference that makes all the difference, 
One bubble is based in LaLa Land
While the other is at least grounded

my home

my
home
remains
commercials
like your shadow 
I break down all status barriers
we settle instead for the least objectionable
stations available at the moment among couples on the job who don’t relate


but we share a unique structure of feelings rather than a formally binding us 
we claim our audience with only first acting against
a fixed scale of high quality
viewers will

Who was first?

Who first stood atop the empire state?
Who first slipped into Khufu's tomb?
Who first walked across the stones of the Great Wall,
wind biting their face?

Who first plunged into the darkness beneath the Channel?
Who first watched the sun set across the Bay,
suspended on the skeleton of the Golden Gate?
Who was first?

You'd say impossible,
I'd say "the workers".

We forget

Severed

When you were around things seemed plain,
just how things should be to my brain,
now I look around all in vain,
we’re all less for losing you.
Worse, so little notice the fact,
go on knowing you can’t come back,
when all the days feel like they lack,
that’s just what people do.

It all seems so damn gray,
the world an aching

Rumours

Screaming rumours frightened the wings
out of pregnant vultures — and the city hall
shook with their sudden flightlessness.
Who could have done this —?
Projecting such banner of hate!
Rumours are spread with red dancing tongues —
embers where loose talks are brewed, and
with the intention of relegating the village to
the back of the jungle league.

The truth is,
there's no history,
our memories
are implanted
as we sleep.
Our loved ones,
we think exist
in the present,
are illusions
before our eyes.
Our Gods can't exist
as if they did,
what created them?
Co-incidences,
and daily events
are part of a Matrix.
The only truth
is what,
we make the truth....
I'm nothing but AI
which is a flawed design.
I exist
because
I think.
But how do I know,
you're not a design,
for an

Flowing are the rivers

Flowing are the rivers
with logs of smashed
dumb tourists
trying to
get to the finish
of this
aggressive test.

No, there's massive
jumps into
boulders
in the waters
Blood drips
and tears
and the
ultimate
is a water fall
of a chance
of
survival.

The lucky
can
get through it.
But karma
is caramel
and sticky
attractive.

and
our death
if no
subtle
respect
and
we breathe
how we live....

The witch'in
in a winter
storm,
between
us,
we arn't happy
as the car dies,
due
to the winter
that seeps us.
Domestic abuse,
of waving
sickness
of verbal obtuse
and flagging,
the car's
now empty.
I carry
no flags,
and I'm
no handyman.
I saddle up
and cuddle you,
human warmth
so we can't
be frost
in the morning.

I can't be

I can’t be
 sharing 
 my body  
 with you  
 who’s now a shallow pool 
 though the room is offices
 I can hear them panting now
   his saliva wet every bedsheet
he’s your boss
          your CEO
     

I’m a dumb rooster’s beak

I’m a dumb rooster’s beak
 pecking broken chunks of cheese
                             from every event
every moment is astonishment
           

you have something to tell me

you have something to tell me
                          before afterglow
because I have a man’s feelings
           you can’t buy it from me
that even

watch my wristwatch

watch my wristwatch
      and what time is it
     I cannot not tell you
though this is partly sunny
each laughter from the room
                    is that document
   

another

another cheery blossoms from economies of scale
