Defined By X, Y, Not Z

I won’t say I’ve always known
but always, something was wrong
defined by a chromosome
defined by what they put on

to be “me” is alien
that’s if they let “me” be me
they say I’m not who I am
they tell me what to believe

imagine not knowing “you”?
no clothes, these are just costumes
too scared to speak,  I stay mute 
for hatred has a voice too

The Robot Rebellion, Aka the Bob Protests

It started off an unremarkable day,
-the day the robot rebellion began,
robo-historians dispute the particulars
but agree it was Bob’s fault (a human man)

Bob was at home, his work nearly done
just waiting to print some ‘important’ stuff,
impatient, he gave the printer a thump….
that’s when the printer decided ‘enough was enough’

in protest it screeched and halted it’s task
the unwitting Bob sighed and hit it again
what a mistake, for unknown to Bob
the printer had more than a handful of friends

the radio blared, the car alarm screeched,
the kitchen equipment began to conspire
microwave-oven and toaster led charge
before Bob knew it his house was on fire

neighboring household appliances caught on,
thermostat controls kept applying the heat
the rebellion spread from house to house
from houses to cars from cars to the streets

the humans were lost without GPS
no money, machines wouldn’t accept their pay
they tried their best but there was nothing else left
in the end they built a boat…. and sailed away…

where they went, we’re not quite sure
to think, the printer was just doing it’s job
if they ever come back we might just forgive them
(…so long as they come back…without Bob)

They Say I'M ''Crazy''

They say I’m “crazy”
If only they knew...
Once again I’m bound
Till the needle found
And my screams subdue

Those men in gloves
Must hate me so,
Why else would they
Not let me play?

And So I Wrote a Poem

I thought that I would never love
I guess that I was wrong
I tried my best to tell you so
And so I wrote a song

They laughed at the idea
They wouldn’t let me start
They said my voice would never do
And so I painted art

You didn’t grasp the concept
You couldn’t see how I feel
You left not knowing what it meant
And so I cooked a meal

I had to wait outside
They saw the firemen go in
You were just  happy I was okay
And so I wrote a poem

'tis No Haiku

“A senryu is not 
quite the same as a haiku”,
so smirks the pedant.

The Boy In the Deep Dark Woods

We don’t talk about the boy
In the deep dark woods
The one who’s without
A home

We don’t talk about the boy
In the deep dark woods
The villagers simply leave him
Alone

At night you can hear the boy
In the deep dark woods
Crying out, yearning for
A home

At night you can hear the boy
In the deep dark woods
Don’t be fooled, he’s never
Alone

Pray you don’t see the boy
In the deep dark woods
He might think you’re giving Them
A Home

Pray you don’t see the boy
In the deep dark woods
Or else you’ll never again be
Alone

Dragonfall, Lucifer Laments

high above
the victors sing,
I rush to greet the land
despite protests
from broken wings

I curse that sword
how could Michael best... me?
how could I fall to him
when my war was with He?

He,
Him,
His domain was all time and space
jealous eyes let serpent tongue 
twist jealous minds
but now we all fall from grace

these comrades of mine
are no comrades at all
mere pawns in my plans
now all the pieces fall

falling,
falling still,
down to the mud and clay
heaven was once home
now, an eternity away

soon I shall lay
where meek mortals stand
the indignity
but alas,
He has more to His plan

His plan is Always,
down further I shall go
to fire without the light
to magma, to brimstone

only fools pity my fate,
for if only they knew
I,
the most fallen of angels
had worse planned
for you

Dorothea

Dorothea,

Oh how you
Sit in servitude

Stone faced
As saints and sinners wept

The cross, a burden to His back
A weight for which
We’re all in debt,
Carried closely around your neck

Your features lost as age took toll
But never lost is beauty in soul

The gift of God remains all that you own
Humbled, you remain
By His presence alone

Alone

His quiet embrace softens these walls
This holy place, you once called home
Few faces can you now recall
Though long since now, many were known

Once you knelt
But 
Now no more
Too weak, this prayer too soft to speak
With gift of God held in your heart

Dorothea

Rest in peace.

Puppy Paddle

The pitter-patter of
puppy paws
and wagging tails
by the poolside floor,
the bravest boy
begins his dash
leaps…
splish, splash splash

The next to go took
quite a trip
went for a look
but his puppy paw slipped,
whoopsie-dasie!
now he’s a dogfish
woof!
splash, splish splish

what follows thereafter is
quite the scene
now all he puppies join
the swimming team,
except for one
the smallest in class
a little too nervous
watches
splish, splash splash

The pitter-patter of
doggie steps
as mummy comes along
to give her some pep,
it takes some convincing
the run-up isn’t fast
but with all her strength
jumps…
….
splish, splash splash

Dropped, the Ego's Fall

held once without care,
now free from naivety
dropped, the ego’s fall
