Bawdy at Best
Calls me Baby,
(Many other names that'll
remain silent to the reader,
unless blessed to be within
earshot)
I like the random,
tender sonnet of each
sylible heard,
keeps me hungry for
more in knowing he's
given thought to his
vocality, thought to me.
And I to, to return such
devotional names,
Some by way of moonlight
& candlelight
when a few names I keep
locked away could be deemed
salacious & bawdy at best
come out to play

SENTIENT SENTINELS (PLAUSIBLE PARANOIA)

SENTIENT SENTINELS
(PLAUSIBLE PARANOIA)
They see within and stalk outside
There's never any place to hide
The robots recognize our faces
each stored in massive databases
The delivery guys are spies in disguise
and the squirrels have cameras set in their eyes
just as each and every sparrow and each single staring dove
They have satellites circling around up above
They've bugged all your telephones and even your homes
All the roaches are rigged up with tiny microphones
You're never alone with the guilt of your...

Earth Gives Birth
Earth Gives Birth
Green zebra fruit
Fresh from Eden’s garden
Tended by African Eve
Whose bare hands and body
Dug into organic earth
With orgasmic eddies
To fill the hours
While kissed by heavenly gold
Of sun sent sin
With her plot of dirt
Tucked away in a patch of herbage sown
Bees did the pollen polka
For the earth to be with watermelon
Green zebra fruit
Fresh from Eden’s garden
Tended by African Eve
Whose bare hands and body
Dug into organic earth
With orgasmic eddies
To fill the hours
While kissed by heavenly gold
Of sun sent sin
With her plot of dirt
Tucked away in a patch of herbage sown
Bees did the pollen polka
For the earth to be with watermelon

New silence
This is the new silence
Where a dudes mood alludes
To his true blindness
And a chicks depiction
Of the diction of love from her heart
Were just fiction
Led by the new scripture
Written by their parents torn pictures
We close our eyes
And hope forgiveness finds us
This is courage is the new fear
No blame for the game
Or the voices that you hear
The choice you hold dear
While we boldly go nowhere
This is the new heaven praying
Loose unleavened leaves
Hold loaves for the unfed blazing
Blunts on the...

Warp
Seething reeds in a whirpool spun in carbon bubble string
contracted around the reef's neck.
Whip off the backs of the fish
that evade the star-spangled stream
up below
since every phase of school.
The calcium breaks
over the sponge home
before the wandering urchent
fails against the wind.
Tell your kids to stay in school
beyond the veteran's eyes
and don't wait until sleepy grain
calls to duel the obsidian reflection
of foregone thought without conclusion.

Escaping Hypocrisy
Daily singing swing low, sweet chariot
Seeking to find refuge with Ms. Harriet
Going underground hoping that I can find
My Zen like utopia and my peace of mind
Trying to maintain any semblance of me being sane
Got disdain for the things outside my window pane
Pain increasing exponentially mentally & spiritually
Having difficulty accepting our hate filled society
Desiring to escape its fate by moving to another place
Thinking that any place has better weather is my mistake
History's revealed to me that I'd need another galaxy

It's All In The Way One Looks At The Cards
Some may call a spade a spade,
but perhaps when one looks
from the other side of the card,
many times it is not as first seen,
but rather a heart,
burned and turned upside down,
with it's tail tucked between it's legs.
but perhaps when one looks
from the other side of the card,
many times it is not as first seen,
but rather a heart,
burned and turned upside down,

The Assembly line
The assembly line toots its horn, maintained, year after year after year.
Packaging, and distributing, crocodile tears and club numbers.
The citizens are obligated to enjoy these manufactured products
non-conformists who refuse are cast aside, relegated to the niche
Some brave souls oppose the factory owner's dominance,
and challenge their colleagues to be unique.
But few retain a backbone to support their rebellion.
We look back on those archaic souls, the men and women, pioneers.
They are symbols, icons, legends... even heroes...

The Bag
Crosses the road
with her walker
and dog
Back arched
Eyes to the ground
Perfectly placed
silver hair
has a blue tinge
Stops the morning traffic
while commuters
sit in wait
for the 5 minutes
it takes to
step off the curb
put a foot in front of another
and gain
momentum
until
she reaches the other side
stepping back
up the curb
Some ass
(every morning a new one)
will hoot
or roll down the window
cursing an
obscenity
at her
The dog growls
shows it's...

O Great Motherboard ! ( The Save Me Spell )
There Is The Hugger Mugger Spell An Old One I Do Tell , For Temporal Confusion ;
And Then The Womens' Spell Of Glamoury , Under The Cover Of Illusion ;
There Is The Bardic Spell To Make A Person Tongue Twisted ;
Or The Vicious One That Makes A Man Limp Wristed ;
There Are The Spells Of Blessing And The Spells Of Curse ;
Spells To Make Digestion Bad If Not Just Even Worse ;
Spells To Weave One's Fate , Or Twist Their Very Weyyrd ,
And Spells To Make Them Lose Their Way , So Their There Becomes A Here ;
Yet , In The Days Of Cyber Space , And The World...
