a somewhat fishy occurrence
"Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure..... Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself?"
― Herman Melville, Moby Dick
Cascading
the relentless
wave-lipped suck
of seawater,
seeking surprises ...

Summit
I will conquer this mountain
even though I am broken
I will conquer this mountain
even though I feel pain
I will conquer this mountain
to prove I am worthy
I will conquer this mountain
till no one remains
even though I am broken
I will conquer this mountain
even though I feel pain
I will conquer this mountain
to prove I am worthy
I will conquer this mountain
till no one remains

a different view
The opposite view
Unipolar power is like being the bride
and resent the uppity of bridesmaids
she wanted her wedding to be remembered
no one can equal
Her democracy is the bride that has
become domineering and not let in
the bridesmaid
Not even getting married if she thought her
the rule was somewhat diminished
Her attitude causes friction; others wanted
to leave to go find their own happiness
This includes Miss Russia who was
a downtrodden maid, much patronized, made
the fun of and dismissed.
Surprised, we...

Black Wall Street
Tulsa 1921
As I stare at the dangling sign
It reads Williams Dreamland Theater
Hanging on by a thread it’s about all that’s left
Dawn rises in Tulsa 1921 smoke and debris is all that’s stands
Downtown shoe shine boy gets accused of
Being lewd with a White Lady
Newspaper prints the story and a white crowd grows for hours
Black men assemble put on war uniforms
March down to the courthouse to save a Black man from lynching
Police say there is nothing to fear go home and chill out
...

failed mariage
Failed marriage
In my village in the Algarve, I met a retired
Captain in the US Army, he had a military walk
and tended to dress like he was on a safari
He had a house in Florida with crocodiles
on the lawn, he never said what he did when
in the army. perhaps the catering corps
on his travel to see Europe, he had in Portugal
met a plump middle-aged woman and decided
to stay for a while, and since few spoke English
I was his audience.
One can say it was a perfect match for her dream
was to go to America, she guarded him as...

Gadani ~beach
Gadani beach
Gadani beach, the last call
she only needs skeletal crew
As I had not been to Pakistan
I volunteered to be skeletal
it was the beach in the name
I thought of seminude girls
How wrong can a man be
Gadani was a cemetery for
for ship, too old and too small
for maritime business
My home, for two years made
into nails and turned into
unspeakable parts
This is life, sailors and ships
have a short life span
Gadani beach, the last call
she only needs skeletal crew
As I had not been to Pakistan
I volunteered to be skeletal
it was the beach in the name
I thought of seminude girls
How wrong can a man be
Gadani was a cemetery for
for ship, too old and too small
for maritime business
My home, for two years made

Put in the Work
PUT IN THE WORK,
even if your LIFE
DEPENDS ON IT,
The MORROW of the STORY IS:
PUSH AND DON'T QUIT!!!
YES, THE CHALLENGE
can be HARD, but
HARD WORK PAYS OFF!!!
YOU ARE STRONGER
THAN YOU THINK, and
YOU ARE SO TOUGH!!!
HANG IN THERE and
GIVE IT ALL YOU GOT,
KEEP CLIMBING that MOUNTAIN
UNTIL YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP!!
YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO
YOUR GOAL,
DON'T STOP!!
We ALL Have STRUGGLES,
we ALL have FEARS,
we ALL have DOWNFALLS,
and SHED MANY...

Tired of talking to a God
that is not a straight answer
it is more like talking
to a roof beam
excepting profundity
I walked down to a café
the one near the fruit market
had a coffee
a bica pingada
because I live in Portugal
The serving wench
asked if I wanted full cream
in my coffee
I momentarily paused
struck by a thought
Should I tell her I have
diabetes
if I did
would she care
she is not a doctor
I nodded yes
no need for verbal

blue sky and a cold day
Cold Day and "Bluesky Social"
This morning, pale sunlight entered
didn't stay left behind on a cold day in a blank
a bedroom that has never seen sexual activity
or a hidden erection under the duvet
in a bed solely made to sleep in
This was the first winter day, cold and lacked
a promise of a tomorrow with cold hands
wooly socks and dressed in old pajamas
Last night, he had become a member of
a newish site that aspired to be posh
for people with odd work titles like assistant
manager or some other job descriptions ...

a small bank
A small bank
When I visit my bank, which is a small rural one
the bank lady who warns me not to overspend
and my wife meets I go for a coffee across
the road, they are both from Congo and have
a lot to talk about
The business in the bank is done, forenoon
the prize of pig feed and grain harvest, and so on
When I am alone, I like to come early
and enjoy the concerned people with no dramatic political
meaning other than survival
the real people's experience that contextualized
not democratic that those who invest in ...

shore leave (edited)
A boy and shore leave
The 15 years old boy was standing on the poop deck of an old tank ship
late at night, looking up at the millions of stars over
The Red Sea.
His job was to clean pots and pans in the galley ruled over by a cook
who hated the world and everybody in it.
The boy had tried to sit in the mess hall where older seamen
sat, drinking coffee and playing cards, but they had made fun of him
saying he looked like a girl the way he folded his arms.
His left nibble was swollen when he pressed on the nipple, white ...

to be a somebody
To be a somebody
When we were young, we lived a café life
and often spoke about writing a novel, but
mostly we endlessly spoke about other
writers, those how were heavy drinkers
we tried to emulate.
Naturally, no one understood our pain
of being talented
Alfred, my friend and fellow drinker, went
to Paris to write, he got the clap
came home and wore a French beret and
A Raincoat got a poem published in the local
paper, forever referred to as a Frenchy
His work, as an artist, was done, he rested
