Deliverance ---

over there..>
lost time leaking away

collapse not into temptation
grant me/us peaceful solitude 
deliver us/me from erratum
inert/confined/lost
entangled in a weary knot
buried in dusty debris
suffocated by icy cobwebs
burned & frozen
begging for deliverance
longing for liberation
yearning to be untangled
thunder over water
deliverance?

lost life leaking into the past
<..over here

Dances of Vibrating Rituals

No Exit
musicians hide behind scarring sounds
beyond madness
beyond folly
beyond Somewhere Everywhere

dance with delirious determination
through fragments of melodious folly

dissonant dulcimers declare 
repetitive chords
within punctuated digital drones

repetitive beyond vibration
vibrating beyond repetition

percussive rituals vibrate 
beyond inflated vaudevillians 
mutating into
mad cacophonous comedic collisions

rituals beyond vibrating cacophony
rituals behind chaotic vibrations

deranged vibraphones 
denounce
fragments of repetitive visions 
mindful of mindless
Exits

The Dogs of Doggerel

Dogmatic deconstructionists
 declaim
  the Dogs of Doggerel
   during the
Dog Days of Delusion

Deluded destroyers
 deliver
  the Dogfights of Doggerel 
   during the 
Dog Dances of Derision 

Derisive decoys
 denounce
  the Doghouses of Doggerel 
   during the 
Dog Dreams of Deception

1981: a Texas Odyssey

Calamities…
assaulted by the Memorial Day tsunami
drowned victims & floating cars--
appendix detonates during the Season of Hell
haplessly hospitalized in the UT-Austin medical zoo

Delusion of progress…
recovering in the mobile home 
plodding through texts of 
postmodern pointlessness--
overcome with visions of nuclear annihilation

Life is a plunge…
sensory overload & self-deconstruction--
reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude"
pondering Camus’ only philosophical question
does Jung have the answer?

Re-entry into the (ir)real world…
Labor Day blues & academic angst
surrounded by yi(u)ppies--
mesmerized by Eastern philosophy
crushed by existential dread

The Being & Nothingness of Texas...
The Longhorns won/lost The Game
primal braying & primitive reveling
avoiding the orange phallic madness
evading beer bottles hurled by frat boys

Monstrous cockroaches inherit the Earth…
discombobulated by the sadistic heat
I ram my fist into a case of Lone Star
“The horror, the horror” as Kurtz opined
can I still resurrect myself?

Five packed together in one car…
a circuitous journey to South Padre Island
silent white sand & red star suspended over the Gulf
hypnotic waves & harsh words in the condo
the Odyssey is (in)complete(d)

The Wobbling Droplets

The wobbling droplets are quite happy.
Full of joy and not too shabby,
I hear them laugh.
They are promptly quaffed.

:-)~:~:~ooo~:~:~(-:

I give my wobbling droplets a shake,
and laugh until my head breaks.
They happily orbit the Earth,
looking down on us with mirth.

o/o\o|~~?~~|o/o\o

The wobbling droplets are enchanting
but they will not interfere with my ranting.
For I have more poems to eject,
that many will not hesitate to reject.

a brief glimpse ---

wispy green tendrils
flicker & frolic
  in sunny
  capricious breezes

a brief glimpse of peace 
a brief glimpse of harmony
a brief glimpse of life...

Not the Better Nature of Our Angels

BULLETS
mercilessly fly
BOMBS 
pitilessly fall
MISSILES
ruthlessly soar



shattering their 
helpless "targets"

a screaming
bloody blur of
sadistic slaughter

innocent
bodies
blown apart
by psychopathic
projectiles

death's desolation
hovers over
us in these
dystopian days

judge, jury & executioners
prey on
their innocent
victims
who simply dare
to be in
the wrong place
at the wrong time


The Better Nature of our Angels?
(what on earth is
Steven Pinker
smoking??)

March of the Taunting Tercets

Sitting on a global seesaw
Play a universal keyboard
Show (don't TELL) discordant sounds

Kneel to Ultimate Disruption
Flood the zone with zoonosis
We've got your mess uncovered

O the weaponized muse!
Wait for humanity to make an appearance
March through grumpy gamma rays

Forget a nuclear shootout
Promote a Swan Lake retirement
A soft landing in a noisy scenario

Music lives to fight another day
Stop the iconoclastic idiocrats
Victory of non-panaceas

Jumping off the global precipice
Clean up your mutating mess
I've got my posterior covered

Bright Uproar

en*L*I*G*H*T*ened babbling shocks
burst out of bubbling rocks
bright spots erupt over a smoldering landscape
(hot inflation begets Pomp & Circumlocution)

snowballs explode in a gritty paradise
yellow dust smothers moaning misfits
balloons hover over missing minds
(Look on the BRIGHT side!)

it’s simply a B*r*I*g*H*t uproar
skyscraping warriors lock & load
happily pull heat-seeking triggers
(taking out floating bull's-eyes)

Operation OMG has commenced!
guided by blowback from barreling behemoths
chasing mercurial probes flying with hypersonic ease
(gilded ghosts pierce an overheated stratosphere)
