Convergent Technologies
Apps have turned phones into everything under the sun, including flashlights.
As the technology advances towards 1000 megapixel cameras with multifunction, Swiss army knife options, and there are still those unadapted utilities and extensions that have yet to be explored.
In every case, the limit to the growth of these companies is present capital. Thus the need for boutique cooperatives.
Skills needed are subcontracted as a cooperative, each skill or tool adding to the sum capital needed to create a cooperative cooperation....

It is inevitable
That the drone
Should not
Outlive its
Hostmate.
The host
Devours
The drone.
And more
Eggs
Are laid.

The Balance
The Balance
Think
of the entire economy
as a series
of islands.
Around them
is fish.
The more fish
they take out,
the lower
the water is.
If they eat a fish,
the water
goes down,
so they control
the amount
of water
by how much
they eat.
If they eat nothing,
the water will rise
and eventually
drown them.
If they eat too many,
all the fish die
from being too crowded
as the water disappears.

The Evolution of Humans

Anyone
can do
as
well
for those
of you
who live
in hell
and all
you see
is difference
and delusion.
For shame
and doubt
you live
without,
and
everything
that's done
accounts,
the
rest
is just
intrusion.

One Word at a Time
One Word at a Time
We don't have
To say it all
All at once
To some vast
And final degree,
The sun's going
Supernova
Cataclysmic
Drained
And suppressed.
Rather,
Lay back
And let me
Fondle
Your darkness
In the syllabic
Constructions,
Aware
Of each
Nuance,
A depth
Of wetness,
A mouth
Full of tears,
And the creamy
Smooth texture
Of hidden
And profane
Thoughts
Aroused
And exposing
The raw...

Without Diversions
Without Diversions
Rather than wasting
Time
With disrobing,
An infinite distance
And the promise
Of a taste
Completely
Out
Of the question,
The words
Themselves
Will have to do
The job
Of Everything,
A conscious
Consciousness
Appealing to
That inner
Villager
Who senses
Meaning
As
An extension
Of the skin,
And devours,
And bathes
In the subtleties
Of every
Syllable.

The Overlords and the New Creatures
The Overlords and the New Creatures
We have reconfigured
The world
Into a dualism
Of Overlords
And flunkies.
What was only
Trial ballooned
In the past
Will now
Be brought
To complete fruition,
So that it
May be brought
To justice.
The technology
On all sides,
Cell phones
And their
Many apps,
Has raised the bar
To such
A point
Of sophistication
That even
The weakest link
Knows much more
Strength
Than all
The chains

It's Just Business #2
It's Just Business #2
Feeling less
Than you're worth,
It's just business.
Humans treat humans
Like dirt of the earth,
It's just business.
Don't take it,
Persons,
In a personal way,
Don't make anything
Of the deal
Of the day,
Saving
And keeping it
All to yourself
Tucked safe away
Up high
On a shelf.

A Walk in the Woods
A Walk in the Woods
I walked
Along
The creek
Today,
Tracks
And foot prints
Touched
The way,
And as
The forest
Closed
Me in,
This thought
Became
My only
Fin.
To touch
Her bark
And know
Her limbs
To stay
Until
The moonlight
Dims.

Peaceful Confrontation
Peaceful Confrontation
I'm never
Sure
Why make up
Sex
Is even
Ever real.
It seems
To me
To save
A step,
And maybe lay
Some steel,
If instead
Of fighting on
And then
Still having
To make up,
Just put away
That arrogance,
You know
You're both
Corrupt.
