Wag Chins, Flap Gums
~~~~~ Well, they all do make really valid points, Though their topic of discussion is unclear. If we all sit down and smoke several joints; We will then believe we’ve nothing to fear. How do we deal with overdose information, Religion, drugs, sex, TV, or move a mouse? Whatever, we succumb, labor or recreation, King, […]
What If?
~~~~~ What if you could create anything, paint like the greatest artist ever seen, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Gentileschi, Rousseau, Magritte, Cassatt, Ditko, Kane? No doubt, I haven’t named your favorite, your one and only most fine. The list is so long, I could fill up every notebook that I have ever owned. Then I could […]
Hear the Future
~~~~~ I see the sea going on forever Obsessively pawing the shore. Know it, of course is Luna-sea Despite how near or how far. We respond because we must; To refuse beyond our powers. We will linger until we’re dust Over the space of a few hours Will we see space and time one? We […]
Farewell – A First World Lament
Farewell – A First World Lament Philias the Lesser ~~~~~ Farewell to our freedom; It is no longer for sale. It was sold for a pittance, Don’t bother to weep and wail. Like all living creatures, Our estates rise, and they fall. We say it’s not our fault, at all. Farewell to our homes, And […]
Room With a View
~~~~~ I look around the room where sit and See memories, touchstones to the past. Reminders of the present time, of love For those who make the view special, Who share the view and make it richer. Some who have gone; I’ve never met Them, yet they helped to form people I love. Although we […]

No matter what we choose, decide, Deal with some you cannot abide. Relatives and some called friends, You decide to enjoy it, or pretend. The news grows […]
Whether Stranger or Guest
~~~~~ The firmament piles dark on dark in the east. Dark clouds harried by storms from the west. If the stranger at the feast, or honored guest, All will stand equal, when we are laid to rest. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment […]
Merging Emerging
~~~~~ Where is the inspiration for poets, Wordwrights, artists, composers, Choreographers, others who sting I neglected to mention them now? Will another’s expression reach us, Inside us, to draw forth our spirit? For me, it is music, spoken word, Creativity, creation, what’s around Me, the way the wind blows, trees, Standing as they have stood, […]
