When you subsidize
my excess
You underwrite
my greed
Each payment made
my hunger craves
And gluttoned passion
— needs

my verse understood
many vortices underwrite
meanings virtues, undetected
movements verbalize unconscious
management victories, undergrowing
megaphonical vulgarities, underestimated
maladministered vaporing unapproachables,
momentousnososity vibrations undermentioned
-dear reader, before all this makes sense (that is, my write may simply
disappear again when trying to post it) i shall.........ummm, must wait

I walked beyond the ease of youth,
and refused the prosperity
given to an ignorant mind.
Over years you revealed the truth;
every heart morbidly aligned,
leaves nothing seen with clarity,
lapses into vulgarity.
Utter disgust seeps out of me,
spiritually I now see.
Convicted a past void and dead,
carved sand dunes of Indian red.
The one way back, God's call will sing
a new impassioned coloring,
it will always cost everything.
In every season of a loss,
get back up to lean on The Cross.
Written in the books of Heaven,
three hidden measures of leaven.
Belief begins to underwrite
the end of sorrows — have to trust,
to endure and finish the fight,
hanging onto your word, I must.

When we over think
We under achieve.
When we over look,
We under mine.
When we over talk,
We under appreciate,
When we overstate,
We under estimate.
When we overprint,
We underwrite.
When we overlay,
We under pin.
When we over produce,
We under use.
When we over use,
We under produce.
When we over stock,
We under cut.
When we over price,
We under sell.
When we over protect,
We under value.
When we over view,
We under stand.

We’ve had forever to get it right
this religion we hold dear
But why the murder and ‘holy wars’
that underwrite our fear
We stand in judgment and wield belief
with weapons poorly thrown
Our eyes rejecting while spirit’s cry
—our futures poorly sown

Villanelle : If everybody did everything right
If everybody did everything right
No ripple on surface will world betray
Wait out the sun till bright light burn outright
Yang will marry Yin and Me-Too yin blight
No lawyers can then lead us all astray
If everybody did everything right
Workful day will succeed pleasure-filled night
E'en Lone Star will cease to reflect lone ray
Wait out the sun till bright light burn outright
Won't nations die from want of will to fight
And polls abstentions drive leaders away
If everybody did everything right
Won't ephemeral men increase in might
Who needs the Jün-tzu* the Yogi anyway
Wait out the sun till bright light burn outright
Who would underwrite life by LONE playwright
To amuse some conglomerate Milky-Way
If everybody did everything right
Wait out the sun till bright light burn outright

Espresso and billows of cigarette smoke
start your life each day, to underwrite and
elevate the squeaky neurosis you display.
Freud and Prozac and Xanax keep you level
but flat, add 60 milligrams of amphetamines
to get your motivation back.
Some say its “creative style” while others say
“you’re very ill” as civilized, certified doctors
proclaim: “swallow every pill!” No more
“Carpe Diem” nor “beckoning to swim out
further,” celebrate you right to cope,
with therapeutic fervor.
Your fading friends alas, contend: “your
brain is now asleep!” Just tweak your dose
and animated you will arise and leap! Skies
ginger with days ablaze cobalt space,
your ability to marvel struggles in
a foggy and muddled place.
Synapses firing, “Control!” my mind has ordered
Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors…dreams
Carl Jung has ordered. Dopamine, Zoloft or
Ambien, competition to attend, the
imagined dangers that never
really end.
