the old city
the old
city needs
to be
reincorporated,
the skeleton
needs
new flesh,
opened eyes
out of
curiosity,
her lover's
life
breathed back
into her,
a crowd
of people
wandering
inside
of her,
debating,
discussing
how they
can continue
to keep
her alive
from
now on.

Cupid Does Strike At The Wrong Time... Does He?
As soon as Rick
looked at those
beautiful eyes
of hers, he suddenly
found himself falling in
love with Jessica in
spite of the fact they want the same job.

I Thought I Saw My Wife
I thought I saw my wife at
the Midway Mall before
I walked up to her
and
tapped
her
shoulder only to
have her turn around and
ask "I supposed to know you?"

Sowing the Seed
They plant the seed
then we breed
what they knead
to feed
the masses
to sustain
social classes
and religious clashes
HATE... [it]
FEAR... [it]
INTOLERANCE... [of it]
Sterilize yourself!

Be careful
how your view
through the microscope
affects
your interpretation
of the macrocosm.

The Information Age
(on the internet)
You can lead a man to information,
but you can't make him think.

blessing with
heated black breath
chained mistress
torching the
wolf-bitten night
with vociferous
cyber eyes
salivating surreal
unleashed

When Profits Offset
When Profits Offset
That
aristocratically
condscending
smile
at the humiation
of those
who
ironically rely
on your humanity
says everything
they need
to know
about
their
eating
cake.

The salesman
Someday
Someway
Somehow
Someone
Will surely find
You've been selling
Mirrors to the blind.

Consumerism has conquered
Many grounds
Moves forward by
Leaps & bounds
For
Then you could
Rent a tomb
& Now
A helpless womb..

Karma
Saturate and scatter
The proverbial revelation
To the four corners of
Fallible earth
Profane immortals
Drink your wine
While the impoverished
Scour for garbage
Karma is coming
You cannot hide
Your grotesque iniquities
Are selling you out

Fallible earth
Profane immortals
Drink your wine
While the impoverished
Scour for garbage
Karma is coming
