POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am the awakening of what shouldn't be. I am just a glimpse of the future.
From the hip
Practiced advantage / Magic of language / Active rap pad is my bandage / Pain plus time / Is the main kind of comedy sandwich / Mental vomit in the nooks and crannies / Cognitive hooks that outran me / Stored in books / So even if I was ever shook? / Nothing took my sanity / Touching looks at humanity / The gospel of profanity with grace / Uncanny valley and whatever hominids we replaced / When I’m gone I’ll spit into space / The no place mist / Twisted bid / Untethered my lid / Even my id faces the cold / Swirling codes / Pearls in prose scoping / Hurled open when skill flies / The world is...

Glimpse from a hustler’s journal
Despite the mathematical nature of music, AI generated music somehow isn’t as compelling as the human crafted product. Go test this. Just doesn’t move you the same. Perhaps it’s the psychological element that’s missing. Maybe the best music requires that tortured soul to invoke the muse.
In which case I would say:
For the benefits of future generations of art, please continue to smack your machines whenever they’re not functioning correctly.
You have to really punish your electronics medievally if you ever want them brilliant enough to produce the first AI...

For now
Earth as a nation / EMP quakes erasing / Super advanced ancient civilizations / Stone Age re-making / Pages prone to awakening / Breaking the law / Duty to the raw / Beauty in flaws / Oddities evolve / Without social clause / What if the whole world paused? / What if magic was real / And I could conjure up Chaucer on a seance call? / Just to hear him drunkenly jaw / Glories of lost Gods / Stories by Boz / Skinny odds / Shimmy locks / Vinnie Paz / This world needs mods / Sure of all I forgot / Injustice done / Adjust the sum / Chaos run / KRS-ONE / Hunger beats hope / Thunder spoke / I can...

Escapism
No escape from higher essence / Elohim is Hebrew for Ubermensch / Damn that almost had me / Wily sense enough to relate gladly / To what I berate madly / Mapping the city of science / By skating through its alleys / Rallying around meaning divides the land / Even the demons inside ride high in hand / Voices upstairs abide by decentralized command / Animal independence in my RAM / Sentience in my sentence medicine / In every gram / Oral acrobatics / Magic in a can / Jests of havoc also ran / Best practices / Breath in my hands / Doom-scrolling bursts? / Cursed span / Like searching for Brain...

Last Year’s Sonnet
Last year’s Sonnet challenge
Loki of Literati
World spins out of control
Infinite possibility so chaos rushes in
Strings tied pole to pole
Science as a magic button
Language redefined
Digital natives are the new saviors
Humanity examined upon design
Monopoly toppling psychonautic flavor
2020 put a magnifying glass on the path
Fuck wrong and right, do what you like
Civil enmity wrapping up the past
Luck vs germs, buck and burn the night
Exposing everything within that grows
Till the rows...

Happy 2021
Driven by how finite, all that exists / Laugh at a tragic years finish / It passed so many limits / Keep waiting for the after-credits / Some last minute bit / Some absurdist twist / Some astronauts vs ninjas kinda shit / Searching for larks always yields a lift / What persists / When you only kick it / With the hardest of the smartest / Darkest days equal longest nights / Wrong vs Right / Palm my verse like an affectionate dog bite / Take every day on Earth like a first night

Leaping forward
Veil of perception flexes back / Onto the meta-map / Subconscious never naps / Quantum blossoming collapse / Parallel universe overlap / The traps that are incidental / Inter-dimensional E.T.’s / Reaching for me with the ghost touch / Meditative scope opening too much / Direct-transmitting into my head / “Believe me, it’s better if you don’t see us.” / What I can’t reach I’m supposed to trust? / Sure. Just a conduit to free verse / Seeds burst / From fruit of the poisoned tree / Feeding from that crop / Nuanced shots / Narrow in, but check the zoom stop / I love crooning words / If they’re...

Broken worlds
Quick, what’s louder than a riot? / Uhhhh, a house divided / We’ve tried that once / Let’s bet on twice / Short sight / Discourse by snipe / Sportfight our course / Vacillating between “Fuck this” and “Whatever man, a’ight” / Still show up to write every night / Flow is the hunger for delight / Sex like prose is only dirty when it’s done right / Mozart by thunder light / Sisyphus smiling under the boulder / Making it all good / Those overpaid dudes in hoods meeting in the woods / Fucking Brave New World shit / Unfurled script / Fresh pearls of physics / Don’t stop-get it; get it / Blunt...

New Science
Virtue signals are the cloth of Judgment land / Whatever man. Mea culpa and shit / Martyrs are barking cogs that die at the end of their shift / Living just for a send a long / Then comes the dawn / Genghis Kahn’s DNA 🧬/ From beyond days / Spawned my fray / Carries on in my fire spray / Play along / Palm a seraphim choir / Pond strider / Along came a spider / And just like your mom? / 2020’s closing tighter / Quick, someone call the Last Starfighter / Light up the map / Add it up / Rapture and lust / Rap is just cosmic chorus / Self-captured like Ouroborus / Gravity from orbit / Black...

Clear glimpse
What if a completely empty mind / Was for me just one time? / Like some hushed crime? / Such design / TLC and blush wine / What if I run out of punch lines? / Something something something that rhymes / What if humans weren’t the only ones of our kind? / Zoom in and show me a sign / The hidden tune, / The lost note Beethoven couldn’t find / The between places is my hood / Gracefully overstood

Close of an era
Ghostly flowing beyond comparison / Just another Holy Roman American / Sidestepping the debt of service / To bread and circuses / Ahead of the murky and subjective / The prime directive / Behind historical correctives / Lies somewhere in the collective / Inspect and let it ride / Silver tongue flies / Because of the river that runs wide / When Loki gets baptized / From between mistress’s thighs / Viscous surprise / Illicit mileage borne / Quiet storms fly without form / Paralyzed minds conform / Crimes and paradigms / First kind is the kernel; second is the whole field of corn / Writing and...

Yarn unwinding
Keeping practice hot / Some kinda magic can’t be taught / Verbal acrobat / Searching for Kabbalah’s top hat / Merging with cosmic rap noise instead / That voice in my head / Whisper-growling “I’m here for you.” / Oldest version of me before bed / Pronouncing “Get clear and move!” / Flyest groove / Why I do this / Epiphany toys with my tongue / Lucid / Enjoys what brung / Used to it / Linguists cunning ploy? / Batteries not included / Patter set to the social ocean / Is batter mixed with perpetual motion / Never set, expressively open / Catching flow breath is meditative scoping / Resting...
