POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am not a poet. Words have expressed themselves through me all my life but in an organic way. They are telling me something about the connectivity of language and consciousness that may not mean anything to anybody else.

I just left Google Earth
After visiting my birthplace
Where I grew up
With dead and abandoned brothers
Viewing the park where we played
Occupied now by innumerable others
There used to be a soccer field
Where skateboards fly off rails
If I were to visit them
At their age
In my soccer gear
They wouldn't even look up
I can't leave it at that
Pointing to where I am now
Then back again
Between all those years
Memories built and destroyed
Hope and expectation
In the middle of our recreation
Divorce...

Indefinite
I know things change
But how come
As soon as you catch it
It's gone
Just as we started
Having all that fun
Secure in our comfort
Home grown
Right in the middle
Of a war zone
- Peace is nothing more than a promise
Dangled for whatever reason knows
After push comes to shove
The mind blows
Ogled lines watching
Death throes
Sweeping knicks
Claim land mine
Just in the nick of time -
Anyway, had fun, see you tomorrow
But how come
As soon as you catch it
It's gone
Just as we started
Having all that fun
Secure in our comfort
Home grown
Right in the middle
Of a war zone
- Peace is nothing more than a promise
Dangled for whatever reason knows
After push comes to shove
The mind blows
Ogled lines watching
Death throes
Sweeping knicks
Claim land mine
Just in the nick of time -
Anyway, had fun, see you tomorrow

Impress
She knocked her socks off
Stealing his heart as she did
They laughed their selves outward loudly
That summer when they met
You might say it was fated
As their meeting was unintended
Unlikely
Unexpected
Just as her scent
Eluded promise
They knew they were meant to be together
It was a feeling that would last forever
Racing in figures
Of eight
Carrying the weight
Of life in their hands
They picked their time
In quick sands
Played on the beach
By love bands
Stealing his heart as she did
They laughed their selves outward loudly
That summer when they met
You might say it was fated
As their meeting was unintended
Unlikely
Unexpected
Just as her scent
Eluded promise
They knew they were meant to be together
It was a feeling that would last forever
Racing in figures
Of eight
Carrying the weight
Of life in their hands
They picked their time
In quick sands
Played on the beach
By love bands

Spark
What caused his death
Caused his life
They don't mention that
On any channel
Caused his life
They don't mention that
On any channel

Doubt
Very nice God
Giving life to trillions
Briefly
Insinutating purpose
To perpuate yourself
We believe we live forever
Under your guiding light
As you smash particles of hope
Upon our fleeting existence
Don't get me wrong
Being mortal is fine with me
But belief is invoked by you
As if that is necessary
While doing our dailies
On pain shifts destruction
Where your image is sought
Upon our deduction
There is no forever
Except for what is lost
Waiting for your savior
Freedom is the cost ...

Adios
This is my final farewell
To my beautiful partner in crime
Whom I adore
The only person I have ever known
Who would die for me
Not to sound trite
Nor especially pre-emptive
But realistically
Mathematically
Statistically
It always adds up
Even when
It doesn't add up
I know what I believe
I believe what I know to be true
When it comes to this woman I love
It's mystical
Which makes me wonder if I am wrong
Then we made something out of nothing
Meeting in an interim ...

Here's a reflection
Of a reflex
How language reduces itself
Aforementioned example notwithstanding
Snippets
Nip pets
Must have meaning
For significance
Yet
Nip pets
May mean something later
As humans adapt
Meaning to language
After exposure
Expresses
Excellence
Memes
Misty mornings
Captures of imges
On moisture droplets
Sending skyward signals
Virtuals
With human intent
Out of interest
To see what's best for us
Nature selects my example
As exemplary ...

Change
Sequential secrecy
Demonize decency
Indelible histrionic
Organic panic
Which leaves us
To forge a frequency
Of no doubt
The good of humanity
Is about to come about
Being who we are
In a land of seafills
All discovery
Expect nothing to do well
As the ground swells
Growing planets
Nanoseconds place granite
I have my first outburst
In my new Earthsuit
Nobody knows I'm here
While easily recognizable
They don't care
Sitting in early morning traffic
Central to their own...

Ear Ache
I've been given all the tools
Time
Memories
Questions
Perspective
Gaps
You name it
When you have it all you must do something with it
Notice I've been given all the tools
By whom?
The same entity making me must do something with it
It is with you I communicate
Otherwise
I am talking to myself
Let's see how this goes
First those tools
Truth
Love
Gifted
Here to uplift
Those who drifted
Then there is Time
Crossing lifelines
Doting eyes
Hidden gems
In life's surprise ...

Signal
A hollow Earth for sure
It seems
Aliens within
Why not?
An electronic universe
As I see it
Spinning belief outside itself
As the paradigm shifts
From government lies
I cut all ties
In spite of myself
Given hidden meaning
From the beginning to the end
Help me send this message
As I play with myself
In some esoteric frottage
Message received
And spent
Minds bend
Whatever we could forage
Even though
It's all foreign to me
Which makes it more attractive
A hollow Earth for sure
It seems
Aliens within
Why not?
An electronic universe
As I see it
Spinning belief outside itself
As the paradigm shifts
From government lies
I cut all ties
In spite of myself
Given hidden meaning
From the beginning to the end
Help me send this message
As I play with myself

Message received

Pithy
The time has come
To have more fun
Among the masses
Starving to death
From what I remotely see
Stepping over images
Of bloated children
Who could have been me
Whose future slipping
Away from dreams
Where they see me looking
Time and again
Behind their nightmares
Another refrain
Mug shot everyday
In the back of the booth
Where I play
Daylight robbery
With all my friends
As war slides
Into dead ends
It all makes me laugh
For some daft reason
The entire human race
Should be up...

Botch
Is that all you've got
It's a rhetroical question
There are no answers
To match the point
It's true, I'm self annointed
Without meanng to self aggrandize
A word which I came upon in the sixties
If I am not front and center
Then who is?
This is how it goes
At the pace of a snail
Avoiding all salts
Slime overboard!
I give you my word
Together we stand or divided
Take my sword
A quick fight
In spite of itself
Landing on nothing
Until thinking about it
It's a rhetroical question
There are no answers
To match the point
It's true, I'm self annointed
Without meanng to self aggrandize
A word which I came upon in the sixties
If I am not front and center
Then who is?
This is how it goes
At the pace of a snail
Avoiding all salts
Slime overboard!
I give you my word
Together we stand or divided
Take my sword
A quick fight
In spite of itself
Landing on nothing
