In the Construct of Glutted Days
~~~~~ In the depths, the canyons of urban landscape, Where, I wonder, should I think to find beauty? Difficult to know where I might start my search. Should I go to a park, surround by busy streets, With sounds of commerce, traffic roaring past? A museum, perhaps, full of line, design, people Crowded cheek by […]
Ashamed
~~~~~ We should all be ashamed. None of us must remain unnamed, Whatever we believe now, Not matter what we learned, or how Or we believed yesterday, What we were taught, not in our DNA, We are ever likely to believe, Open our eyes; we are being deceived. The time we are breathing, Whether we’re […]
Mad is in the Air ~ So Vote!
Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment Over coffee with a friend during the primaries, we discussed tRump. We disagreed about the tRump phenomenon. While I feel the rhetoric of hate, bigotry, misogyny he spews sets a dangerous tone, incites conflict and reduces the presidency and government to the level […]
The Eternal Mystery of Phileas, the Lesser: I Must Admit
In this dim season of darkening light, When day is eclipsed by growing night, I walk on, crackling crispness, fast-fallen leaves, Like shots from a distant fight. Stark, bare limbs filter the weakened Sunlight, all that my starved skin receives. I hurry homeward through the gloom. The afternoon, the evening falling, Wrapping itself in nighttime’s […]

The Crying of Hat 10 1/2
~~~~~ Events in life happen when they must; A meaningless assertion at its very best. Events in life do happen when they do, So, they must happen when they must. This tautological sophistry oft repeated Is proclaimed to proclaim proclamation. Proving nothing can only prove nothing. There is nowhere to go from this point. Therefore, […]
Just Walk Away, Rene
~~~~~ When will a pipe, still, no longer be a pipe? When will a blue bird in flight be a croissant? What if we can never know which is each type? What if we, our names, don’t stay au courant? This might be a bad thing, or it might be good. Thought about it, a […]
So I Dream
~~~~~ Politicians rarely do what is needful, only expedient. They are all so greedful, with more than can be spent. See them stand there sincerely, butter wouldn’t melt. Hearts frozen, all ice and stone so nothing’s ever felt. Any cause moves them if it will win them an election, Convince you they’re there to help, […]
Prufrock’s Lament
With the current news in the world, both economic and political, the aggression, bigotry, misogyny and xenophobia, it seemed time to revisit Prufrock, with thanks to T.S. Eliot for his original brilliance. War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Trumpery is Reality ~~~~~ Let us slow then, you and I. When vile emissions […]
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, […]
