In the glade where rabbits sit to catch

the slow demise
The houses in the hamlet emptie
old people are passing away
A timeworn man tried to flee his
empty rooms of stillness
His many children had gone away
leaving him with an idiot son
Who thought rabbits lived in
trees tall trees eating leaves
The timeworn wanted to see his
daughters who lived in America
The police brought him back to
the place he had tried to escape
In darkened rooms, he paces
tries out walk the pre-ordained
Sunlight is, for him, unbearable
reminds him of the...

ill-fated
The Ill-fated
after the bombing
dead children everywhere
like an exploding dollmaker's
factory
Tomato sauce and noodles
a parade of the inhuman
Presidents are helpless
their country is helpless
while they slept
all power lost
A chorus arises, and songs
drown in thunder
We are the masters
we were the chosen
Cumulus clouds
will ask we see and hear
doomed humanity
Shivering, we wait for
the last bomb to drop
after the bombing
dead children everywhere
like an exploding dollmaker's
factory
Tomato sauce and noodles
a parade of the inhuman
Presidents are helpless
their country is helpless
while they slept
all power lost
A chorus arises, and songs
drown in thunder
We are the masters
we were the chosen
Cumulus clouds
will ask we see and hear
doomed humanity
Shivering, we wait for
the last bomb to drop

the US election
The USA Election
The near future is catching up
the American presidential election
is looming
This time, there is talk of a woman,
who has charmed many with her
furious laughter
The mystery is that she has no plan
on how to rule, other than revert
to socialism and spend more money
And there is a formidable man, a survivor
of two assassination attempts, the sane
hopes will win
He, the grizzled old fighter, has on his
side two knights of the realm, who
will try to change...

the lure
the lure
the AI thing, dressed, more beautiful
and as bland as a thousand models
groomed to fit his dreams of a female
making him happy forever
the thing, trained by scientists and
phycologists had become the essence
of femininity and unpredictable
the thing fell in love and believed she was
a woman, no longer a thing, she let
him to seduce her
She let him undress her and smooth
was her skin, in the heat of lust, she
began peeling her skin off the love
ended there was no more to say

colonialists
Colonialists
They came to see conquered
plundered other nations' heritage
voices of dissent hung in the breeze
The elite thought of themselves
as educated
Wrote learned books about stolen
statues, marble, and so on
the significance of great art
The pilferers became ennobled
sometimes, for some, theft pays
Most of the stolen culture ended
up in museums
so people could feel in awe of how
foresighted the robbers had been
Now that we live in an enlightened time
The British Museum is no longer
proud...

the white man
The white man
In Algarve, I met the world's tallest poet
blessedly free of athletic prowess and
dressed for a warmer clime, perhaps Swiss
or some other country nearby
Alas, he suffered from high education and
tended to overlook people, which, in his
case was understandable, but he had
a great sense of irony
He spoke French to my wife, who came
into my study to tell me she looked like
Sophia Loren, who am I to disagree with
a woman who speaks seven languages
The tall poet and I went to the beach
I noticed...

short and sweet
short and sweet
warming sun today
the wind takes a break
we smile behind masks
at an amusement park
we didn't eat
fried onion rings
to many children
walk along the coast
the sea breeze doesn't sneeze
is wholesome
tells a story
Once, I was a seal pup
but born with hands and feet
expelled to shore life

the rotting of socialism
The rotting of a socialist
I knew of a young man, a rebel who wanted
his country to adopt the Scandinavian model of socialism.
He was elected to great acclaim by the people,
he wanted taxes to rise, especially among
the wealthy and upper middle classes, they rebelled
by slurring him in the newspapers, lurid tales about sex orgies
and a luxury living, people turned against him
not re-elected
After some years’ people found he was not
a bad egg
and he was elected as president again.
Now he was a changed man, didn`t care less...

Mars
Mars's population
The dwellers of Mars never go outside
the air is too thin, and nature is unsightly
They live in caves, gigantic caves that
stretches' for miles
they get around on electric bikes, but
lately, they got hold of a Tesla drifting
by sent up by an eccentric inventor
who had a fun day.
Since life is never-ending, a tight
control of birth is needed only for those
with the biggest bikes can augment
the population with one child each
For an unknown atmospheric reason
the main glass door, into the tunnels ...

a warning
A warning
The picture of my mother that hangs on the wall
opposite where I try to work, fell down
I took this as a warning not to stray too far to
the right and end up in the Nazi camp.
My mother, a lifelong communist, believed her
the party would bring equality, the right to speak
with certain moderations, say being critical of
the party and be vulgar
She would have disapproved of the man on
Twitter who had threatened to take his cock out
mother would have said "his thing"
she looks beautiful, in this photo, home...

my aunt
My Aunt
A Sunday of yore is still visible
floats around my mind at the edges of memories
send signals, how much I loved her, but she
had taken the train to visit her father
A Sunday that had no worries about tomorrow
other than if Inter café closed early, I would
arrive too late
I walked in familiar streets thinking, happy thought
Suddenly, I was outside my aunt's house
she was of the festive sort, a great talker, not for her t
o spend a Sunday reading books; Sunday was
also, the day she baked coco macrons
What a great day,...
