James Starkey Iii Poem
or
Life and Pain -- Twin Peas in a Pod
"When that I was and a little tiny boy, with hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
a foolish thing was but a toy, for the rain it raineth
every day --
along with umpteen birth defects, deadly diseases, natural disasters,
tragic accidents, and human abuses."
-- a former little tiny boy a current Levelheaded adult
* * *
No girl has any right to breed or not --
her having not an egg's permission got
to risk it in a world of wind and rain
inside the eye of one vast hurricane.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the Rationally Ethical antinatalist,
Sensibly anti-dying in Pain by cataracts and hurricanoes --
et cetera and so on and so forth and such
dot dot dot
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
natalism --
an ideology irrational still in floods of tears
february, 2023 -- billions of pro-lifers yet in full flow
in company with countless blastulas to be birthed
into ceaseless future horrors untold
sans consent
(aside from a horror-free guarantee)

The Value of Romanticism
"Suspicious of Reason, romanticists prefer leaps of faith
-- in addition to leaps off cliffs,
aside from bridges."
-- in the soup
the brain of Reason
sole
not stuck in muck
* * *
Imagine if a daffodil could feel,
when in an idyll wandering lonely by,
some poetaster at its cup should kneel,
to suck that dilly's filament root dry!
Then after as they idly share a f*g,
a dirty dil unzips its golden dew,
and sepaling the f*g in one long drag,
it pistils both beneath an English yew!
Soon next a crowd of daft O'dils bud round,
all swilling sweet mint tulips stoned on grass,
till potted pollen sacs of glands unbound,
deep plow the poetaster up his a*s --
as hosts of rapt romantics serenade
while pu*sywillows cattail nature's blade!
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
Clarity --
the enemy of poetasters confounded
a revolving helios sonnet shakespearean satire menippean on
the individualism of countless sentimentalists

A Whale of a Tale
"There yet are plenty of 'soulmates' in the sea --
in all seven seas, in fact."
-- a non-fishy fish fact for the romantic rare
(as well as raw)
* * *
Although I reeled in you from out the blue,
I could have hooked some other solemate true;
I might have rowed my dinghy farther out,
And caught a tuna, tripletail, or trout;
Inside a trap upon the ocean floor,
A lobster large I could have snared offshore;
Or on the daily turning of the tide,
A crab I might have netted, had I tried;
A shark I could have roasted, broiled, or baked,
Or still an eel my hunger might have slaked;
While had a soured herring made me ill,
The sea has herrings of a different gill;
Yet you but one choice had from which to pick --
There being solely one great Moby-Dick.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
a Truth beyond all Rational doubt
though it stink like a fish
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
"spiritual" unions --
yet all wet
may, 2023 -- finding one's sole "soulmate"
still like shooting fish in a barrel

"Rooted in bias, love sprouts into prejudice and discrimination;
grows into exploitation, oppression, and enslavement;
and spreads into genocide."
-- the story of love grown to seed for one's own kind
* * *
A pair of shade trees Bunyanesque in breadth as well as height
enrapt e'er by each other's gaze each other's crowns enwrapped
till round the earth entire a shadow vast eclipsed the light --
its eyeless weight unbearable to rayless life entrapped.

James Starkey Iii Poem
"Spotlit center stage, today's modern physicist in the fashionable
Armani wardrobe incoherently presents his latest bestseller on 'bent space'
to a packed auditorium of wildly adoring morons."
-- zero scientific proof
beyond all Rational doubt
coherently presented in the latest bestseller
* * *
The universe reduced is merely space and one machine
comprising naught but tiny quantum particles discrete,
nonconscious force and matter bits true disinclined to lean
toward any "pregnant virgin," "god," or "holy ghost in sheet";
each physicist in being just a lump of universe
comprises naught but bitsy quantum particles and space,
like each Joe Blow an iamb mere in meters vast of verse
sans any wacky "soul" or weird "black hole" in uppercase;
a robot full unfree is he who slow evolved to feel
in bearing neural network chains enslaving him to pain,
complexities in quantum patterns cueing pain is real
despite an eyeless cosmic sweep and skull without a brain --
dissimilar to physicists -- and Joe -- in this respect,
each with a brain still in a brainless state of plain neglect.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the ancient scientific method of Reason
in sharp contrast to
the modern physicist's leap of faith
a revolving helios sonnet menippean satire on
the idolatry of alphabet credentials
in lieu of Sound arguments
february, 2023 -- yet countless romantics and rhymesters still

"To knowingly force a conscious, feeling newborn onto a planet of countless deadly birth defects, biological diseases, natural disasters, tragic accidents, and human abuses is Rationally --
in addition to Ethically --
unforgivable."

A child died each five seconds worldwide still again today

James Starkey Iii Poem
"Each human sensation, feeling, thought, and action is the effect of quantum force particles mechanically pushing quantum matter particles into sets of geometric patterns sans the influential assistance of a professional 'soul' in Interior Design."
-- Physics 101
for Woodenheads
* * *
On countless neural network strings each man a puppet mere
controlled is by the brain itself a programmed puppeteer
reduced to nought save countless quantum particles in space
of no "free will" or yet a "soul" with which to interface.

a dedication of Respect
for
Truth
beyond all Rational doubt
mechanically deduced from Facts
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
"metaphysics" --
a Logically empty concept
easily programmed into puppets blessed with
sawdust for brains
march, 2023 -- yet seemingly endless proof of the existence of
the "supernatural" everywhere in
fictions and fairy tales
(to say nothing of soups)

a revolving helios limerick satire menippean on

"Imagination is as imagination does."
-- a poet of a truly handsome imagination
* * *
On every "Help! Oh, help! I'm in a Pickle!" Pickle Day,
Ms. Superhero Fancy one true super-duper fay
along with airy nothings each a super fairy fair
toot sweet at dawning soar to save a piggy in despair --
as well as dogies, chicks, and turkeys frightened and distressed,
all penned in horror houses slaves enchained and mean oppressed,
as monsters eating flesh fresh on a sandwich bread or bun
still gather at the river picnic barbecue for fun --
the skin of feeling beings bringing monsters sinful joy,
each devil glib an addict hard e'er since a girl or boy
a belly stuffing till a booty burps a pickle juice,
a cupful running over squirting out a rank caboose --
hence Fancy and her heroes in Imagination's flight
to rescue innocents swift fly in costumes super tight,
proud armed with one fine mighty pen a lyricist designed,
a humble bard of all parts swell and one divine behind --
till o'er the Globe each critter penned repenned herein is free
to flee a hummingbird! a butterfly! a bumblebee!
and fleetly flutter, flit, and float forthwith to Pheasant Farm
where swell cucumbers well-preserved greet every new freed swarm --
as each hip hearty pickle sweet a party tickler toots,
and baby gherkins tweet in party hats and birthday suits,
while bread-and-butter pickles with a touch of sugar fine
in hammocks sunny yellow mellow with a pickle brine --
and in its prime a pickle lime high leaps in double time,
as pickles hot hotfoot it straight to chime a rhyme sublime,
though Princess Cornichon du Tarragon (a tart of taste)
prefers a spicy Kool-Aid pickle red and pickle-faced --
yet Pole and German pickles stout refrain disdaining salt
to entertain themselves in pickle barrels in the vault,
whereas a sour dill all soured still on frills and thrills
enjoys an evening home where in its jar it sweetly chills --
while up above the pickling earth within a world on high,
a host of starry eyes all wink at oes upon the sky,
as super-duper Superhero Fancy and her fays
the pooper scooper neatly set aside for rainy days.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
the Pain of countless conscious,
feeling beings --
yet Victims being tortured
due to the lack of
Imagination
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the Rationally unethical ideology of speciesism --
with the average speciesist
still in a pretty pickle pertaining to pronunciation prowess
february, 2023 -- yet a Rational Intelligence
necessarily preceding
Empathy
