Fear
It starts with a flutter in my gut
Slight discomfort
Nervous system detects disturbance
Brain takes note
Focus on sensation
Amplified awareness
Something moves up
Towards my solar plexus
It stings as it gets it's claws in
Alarm goes off
Heart rate goes up
Breathing accelerates
Fight or flight?
Fuck....neither... I am trapped
Space contracts
Muscles as well
Room slightly darkens
No choice left
But to make fear
My friend
Slight discomfort
Nervous system detects disturbance
Brain takes note
Focus on sensation
Amplified awareness
Something moves up
Towards my solar plexus
It stings as it gets it's claws in
Alarm goes off
Heart rate goes up
Breathing accelerates
Fight or flight?
Fuck....neither... I am trapped
Space contracts
Muscles as well
Room slightly darkens
No choice left
But to make fear
My friend

From the heart
To see beauty
in a rusty old car
in the neighbours yard
in an old wooden shed
that is falling apart
in an old womans face
lines crossing like art
and to be enchanted
take nothing for granted
that could be called
living life from the heart
in a rusty old car
in the neighbours yard
in an old wooden shed
that is falling apart
in an old womans face
lines crossing like art
and to be enchanted
take nothing for granted
that could be called
living life from the heart

Trailer Park Boy Liberated
This day is different
This is the day when you shot your TV
With a 410 shotgun
Blew a whole in the wall
Maybe it's time to take down the wall completely
All the loose screws have fallen off
You're held together by duct tape and bailing wire
Fighting
Fucking
Fixing flats
Doesn't do the trick anymore
There must be more
There must be more to life
Than pulling that plow
Climb out of your junk yard pile
Maybe start beating tribal rhythms
On a rusty tin can drum
Put...

The Tease
She stripped and presented her rump
for him to eagerly hump
but before he knew it
she quickly withdrew it
and left the poor guy up a stump
for him to eagerly hump
but before he knew it
she quickly withdrew it
and left the poor guy up a stump

Metamorphosis
She sat under the mango tree
Wore pastel yellow dress
Had for a friend a bumble bee
Enjoyed her sweet caress
The sun made patterns on her hair
Light shone through leafy sky
Sparkles of glitter filled the air
She dreamed that she could fly
Through a kaleidoscope of dew
She watched the butterflies
As pastel yellow wings she grew
And faceted green eyes
And as the magic had been done
She left the old behind
On velvet wings, what joy, what fun
Away from humankind
Wore pastel yellow dress
Had for a friend a bumble bee
Enjoyed her sweet caress
The sun made patterns on her hair
Light shone through leafy sky
Sparkles of glitter filled the air
She dreamed that she could fly
Through a kaleidoscope of dew
She watched the butterflies
As pastel yellow wings she grew
And faceted green eyes
And as the magic had been done
She left the old behind
On velvet wings, what joy, what fun
Away from humankind

Three Monkeys
It is the wet dream of tyrants
to create a society
where the blind believe in
what they see
where the deaf believe in
what they hear
where the truth
dare not be spoken
by a living soul....

Homeless Man
In the back alley
there lives a man
in a cardboard castle
He parks his shopping cart
right next to it
under a plastic tarp
In this cart he keeps his treasures:
a bag of old clothes,
a box with rusty nails,
a teddy bear, which has lost all his hair,
a bottle full of tears
and a photo of his brother
faded and stained,
an old empty tin can with
marbles, bottle tops and safety pins
a box of cheap donuts
from the 7/11...half full
a foam container with food scraps
given to him by the deli owner

Me at the beach
I went to the beach today
to clear my mind
I was all alone
with myself
a slight breeze distracted
me into mental drift
gently took away my morning anger
I took a dive in the trancelucent turquoise water
refreshing and invigorating
dried myself off in the sand right after
and as I was looking at the pebbles around me
shaped and rounded by the waves
So many colors
black and green
brown, ocre and speckled
different sizes and shapes
such beautiful art of nature
most vibrant when wet
all...

Grammar
I keep reading the mention of "true facts" online a lot.
So then...what the hell are false facts?
Since when does there exist a degree of fact?
How can we establish truth if some facts are declared more factual than others?
Looks like the psycholinguists are really busy these days....

My Garden
I planted seeds in the desert soil
From arid land arose
a private little oasis
Many wonderful things grow here
There are the onions, the chives, the chard
Beautiful squash spreads his umbrella leaves
endive and dark green kale
lush basil keeps my tomatoes company
Slender stem of okra for my beans to climb
and the magical chiltepin
grows under the guava tree
Flowers speckled inbetween
to attract the bees and butterflies
These plants are my children
I give them tender love and care
they feed me in return ...
