Rather a Fool in Heaven Than a Bigot in Hell
~~~~~ I must first say, I don’t believe in either heaven or hell, Not in the way that I’ve implied in my title above, still, The framework under which our current lives are lived A sundered screen through which our lives are sieved. Help us to never wonder how we might’ve lived so well, If […]
Never Desert Dessert
Frozen gold, Sweet and wonderful, Held in your steady hand. Quick licks to keep it smooth; Napkin and paper cone securing it. You considered having two scoops; Now you are glad that you chose one . D \ Though the electric yellow of lemon / D RI \ And the rich darkness of chocolate […]
Overrun by Barbarians
~~~~~ My mind has been ground down into mush, Constipated thought, no matter how I push, As obfuscation, trivia and drivel dribble out. Any wise words of mine, missing in action. That said, I’ll fight to drivel and dribble on. Mayhap a turd of wisdom will squeeze out, Flow from this fickle pen, held in […]

Unexpected
~~~~~ When you meet, expect it to happen this way. Though I’ve never been sure what this way is. Never expected it, know it happened anyway. Happened years ago; it’s changed since then. It’s likely happened many times, don’t know Why I did, my state of mind, where or when. Still, I am sure, I […]
Where We Stood
~~~~~ Would I be willing to show you the shabby shelter Which I keep hidden deep inside my head? It’s not much except a place I can hide When the world weeps and cries, Full of our false and futile sound and fury. People standing on their doorsteps Screaming obscenities at anyone, Everyone who does […]
Your Turn

Turning Over, No Ignition
~~~~~ I’ll start out, just string words together, to see what might come out. Out of my mouth, out of my mind, out of time, out at home plate on a controversial call. Don’t stall, get busy. In a tizzy. Write something, anything at all dig deep and don’t stop digging until you find something […]
No Escape
~~~~~ The Most Addictive Drug What is, do you think, the most addictive drug? If I suggest possibilities, you may nod or shrug. It is neither heroine nor is it prevalent nicotine; It’s something that makes us act more obscene. What, you say? You believe it is crack cocaine? By comparison to this, we could […]
No Escape
~~~~~ Majestic and soaring a green willow grows. Gracefully, its branches sway and drape. Cut down late or in its prime, no life flows; No matter our time, place, we can’t escape. ~~~~~ VOTE, November 3, 2020! ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ See more of my […]
