PECCANT ELEPHANTiasis

PECCANT ELEPHANTiasis
(If I Had a Penny for Every Time my mouth was not Connected to my Brain,
I’d be Beyond Bourgeois!)
Speaking from a hugger-mugger’s perspective
be they online or a trace of face to face
often bravery comes
without thought
for when they speak from a ready stance
ears clogged or closed
many a word or infinite
fall into a mutual abyss of
thoughtlessness.
I can not say how many Friendships
have gone to my memory graveyard
or how many times
restitution and or...

Parallel Me
I see you clearly
Mocking my existence sincerely
Teasing me severely
Ever wondering if you can hear me
Are you better than I?
Some omnipresent spy?
Somehow you seem cooler
A lone king with no ruler
Your stride is smoother
Attitude crueler
Your body is lean
The exact opposite of my gene
Walk and talk in lines
Same hysterical signs
his, yours, mines
Parallel sipping wines
I wonder do you think the same
Do you answer to my name?
Your skin is clearer
Approaching...

Solomon called life meaningless 38 times and he was supposedly a smart dude
I refuse to concern myself
with leaving a legacy
when I know
I’m a fleeting mote of dust
amongst an endless field
of ginormous stars that will outlast
all my words and works
and even those stars will die eventually
so really
all that I do is ultimately
meaningless
by any human measure or reckoning
I refuse to miss the life
that’s right in front of me
while fretting about my destiny
So I search for beauty in the struggle
poetry in the hideous
and it’s only through

Along Came A Poem
Laying in my bed
Braindead
Wondering what it was you said
Body numb
Blood pumping like a drum
Must be this rum
Doodling misguided fingers on my keys
Help me please
Motivated pleas
Arthritic knees
The atmosphere is cold
This thought just got old
Creeping through my letters in bold
Give me a minute and hold
Hold onto this nonsensical grammar
Reign your judges down Thors hammer
My mindset is typically caught in the slammer
What a clamour?

Permeability, Often Cobwebby
4 / 30
Permeability, Often Cobwebby
Solitude or alone-ness or even loneliness - might this be “oneness?”
Crowds, the mob, hordes of humans muddling along together
or just a mere pond of beings
getting together at the local watering hole.
Might be that very “multiplicity” that demands to coincide,
to exist in daily melting, melding union
despite the oft parallel paths.
I struggle to SEE with wonder in mindful meditation
the oneness of everything

Spider Crush
Some souls resonate
at a frequency so irresistible,
moderation is not an option.
From the first tugs on my web
like a reflex, I’m all in --
spilling
emptying
wrapping them in silky secrets
from deep inside my belly,
so lost in wonder,
turning them over in my hands,
enthralled.
Thinking this could be forever
if I could just immobilize them
with brutal, intoxicating honesty…
And I sink my teeth in deep
extracting all the intimacy they can give
until suddenly
they
can’t. ...

Strange Fire
I regret silence
on things that matter,
Yet I know
that I
know
nothing
of lives and souls afflicted,
So - hesitant, scared of getting it wrong
I have no speech,
only tears
of frustration and lament.
So I will sing my distaste
for those who profess expertise in love
but instead preach division,
Who obsess over activities of genitals
while ignoring the quality of hearts.
So trapped in idolatry of printed words,
they live in fear of condemnation
while truth eludes their calcified...

Looming Canicular Days in Triple Digits

Looming Canicular Days in Triple Digits
I suppose I chose this, these sweltering summer days and nights
Moved here for a variety of reasons ----
Smog-less skies flooded with powdery baby blues
& not a cloud to shade me from the sun
amidst the etiolated hues
Thinking aloud
Fixated now on the palm tree’s drooping limbs
never noticed before how here in Southern Arizona
their leaves glisten, so much so. . .
looking like Christmas tinsel
silver strands dripping into shiny dross

Footprints Through Napo
Littered ideas
Escaped thoughts
A prisoned mind
Comfort zones
Breathing space
Poetically aligned
Tune out the world
Silencio
Peace be still
Moonlight gazing
Lunar bathing
Determined will
Thank God for school
Kids are gone
Time to think
I'm caffeinated
Motivated
Poems in sink
Walk the dog
Inhale the brainstorm
Brace for calm
Crack those words
Unvault the vowels
Reapply lip balm
Stress be free
Don't bother me

Gourmandization
1 / 30
Gourmandization
Whether one wants to call it ----
(did it in abundance)
Be it wassailing, gourmandizing
or both, I binged all night
for near a day and a half.
Thinking with clouded clarity
sojourning my past, past
lost lives and loves
acute vision’d and more
always more of
recent times. . .
Rhetorically speaking,
Is it, Does it,
A mere boil down
revealing nothing
more (always more)
mistakes or lessons
not mended or learned?
Most likely leaning

Kill NAPO!!!
Verbs fired
Words hired
Sentences desired
April’s wired
Thoughts required
Poetry’s inspired
Verbal soup
Loop de loop
Mentally regroup
Fly the coupe
Letters droop
Here’s the scoop
Alphabet spillage
Trauma village
30-day pillage
Pronoun drive-bys
For Napo guys
Rainy skies
Truth and lies
Character dies
Unsubstantiated highs
So much skill
Swallow the pill
Fit the bill
Fall is chill
Choke on words
Mocking birds
Resurrected nerds ...

Sunrise thoughts
The fire always comes
in beginnings and endings
when things are new
or when they’re flaming out
Creator saves the best sky colours
for those bookends –
a new dawn, full of purpose
forest-fire horizon of pink-yellow blaze
An untrodden love
or a kernel of an idea
charged with ambitious excitement --
Oh, give me those beginnings!
They quickly yield to soft lavender puffs
against a baby blue backdrop
quiet and unobtrusive
Plans and inspirations
become tasks and routines
serene ...
