Summarily Poems

In the metal setting
	Melted woman
	Tire hairs
Smile like mercury 
	Will arrive to eat breakfast
 To their blood 
	Green “ nihilism”
Inject
	(Toward scared funfairs
	  The way to come, always way
	  Came which rolled out 
  With  mother’s blood)
At the...Read More

Destiny doth accompany, deliver, inveigle America...

Smartly, squarely, summarily into
pall bearing sized hands Helena Handbasket
adorned with Aconite (Monkshood) atop casket
signaling demise, née sealing freedom
(of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness) fate
with eternal bondage super glued gasket.

I attribute more'n syzygy nsync

"FAKE" assertions unstoppably
bandied with beef,
(sans doughty deeds done dirt cheap)
courtesy of commander in chief
trumpeted as a way to backout,

embarrassment analogous to the thief
of Baghdad, when culpable faux pas
woe philly pops thought balloon of mine
reckons with transparent "good grief"
within mind of...Read More

A day like any other
          Brighter than the norm, if anything

Trumps Feeble, Limp, Rox... Zilch State Of Emergency

H.G. Wells..., ah...now there
without dark shadow of a doubt,
in my (myopic brown) eyes,
a prolific writer hooked hood accessorize
the English language, and captivated

populations, sans "The War Of
The Worlds" to realize,
with an assiduous presentation
convinced listeners,...Read More

Life feels too complex for mere words,
she curiously said aloud
repetitiously anyway.

I see health differently, more confluently,
and yet your complex experience feels familiar,
he summarily replied.

I would not equate my life experience
with healthy process, necessarily developing positives,
although sometimes yes,
especially in wombed and...Read More

I hate tubby a nuisance

Of Real Or "FAKE" Memories

Earlier today...upon
     setting feet out a side door,
     a refreshingly cool rain
washed away present woes,
     and ushered auld lang syne,

Generating a ring
     of bright waters, which
currently meanders, ponders,

If you knew him not,
Mr minister is also Adam's grandchild,
A grand child whose menu is grand;
The pensioners' cheque to check his pressure,
The orphan's bursary for breakfast,
The teacher's arrears for break tea,
The classroom construction grant for lunch,
The donor funds for dinner,
The...Read More

HE had just completed the FIRMAMENT

As rains and the torrentialest of snows plummet, 
Filling all the skies and the area interstitial to earth and sky 
With a frenzy of flying flakes;
As gusty winds doth blow and toss the flakes this way and that;
As torrents true...Read More

Our children must not die
before their parents
or parental dreams die with them.

And, for those without children,
this is easily empathized
because our dreams must not die
before we do.

Without them
our best selves have already left
whatever misery and boredom remains
for further degenerating absence of...Read More

That dreary August Sunday morning
Peace like a river in Ozubulu was flowing
Merchants of death wielding  the tools of their trade were lurking
To strangle peace Of the day just dawning

Vengeance was the mission
Anger from business gone awry the vision
But missing...Read More

Mute
but immutable.
Unmoving, unmoveable;
timeless, yet tireless.
Solitary stalwart sentinel
surveils undulating horizon.

Aberrant, achromatic clouds
pock-mark the skies, as distant
rumblings herald his adversary's
latest gambit in their age-old conflict.

The wrath of a thousand crashing,
clashing, thrashing fists batter
against the beleaguered sentry.
Ceaselessly, remorselessly,
the maelstrom assails him.

But the foundations...Read More

If you are angry with me 
Or with anyone or everyone
For some (in-)explicable reasons, 
Then, this poem is meant for you!

My basic hypothesis: 
In a moment of anger
There will be choice—almost always.
Choose the best.
A taxonomy of anger: geriatric, gender-specific, 
Gender-neutral,...Read More

SONNET XXI 
GRATITUDE

For He is Good
His Mercies endures forever.

Days have turned to Weeks,
Weeks to Months and Months counting.
Redemption we yet anticipate
This Land of Misery and many Chaos
His Mercies endures forever.

Difficult, Frail and Unpredictable, we’ve journeyed
Of his Goodness and Mercies, we’ve...Read More

A sliver of bright light
seeps into the darkness
Echo of voices reverberate inside my head
I'm in limbo,
I can't move
Am I alive, am I dead?
I don't feel any pain,
I don't feel much of anything
But there's a sense of dread foreshadowing me,
an unease...Read More

Unquotable quotes: Fat People – XXIX

A listing of the fires 
and all the survivors

Names of the dead

at the bottom of the river

6 miles up river Arikara are encountered,
they are a people of amenable disposition and are agrarians,
they chuckle with sympathy as we inform them of our grizzly confrontation

Today we begin with a quote from Eisenstein
with commentary in brackets
informed by Bucky Fuller's cooperative metaphysic 
of Synergetic Steerage.
