How to Proceed
Awake in modern days,

inequitable
indifference:
a fear of shovels
crusting your
double agent
piehole,
a mechanized spread
of grass roots
independence
gear-grinding the goodness
dumbing-down this
cacophonous
caucus
croaking yoke
& work,
this special interest
hand-selected
paper trail gourmet
shaves electric points
as inadvertent ...

North of Norway
When you're north of Norway
there's still more north to know
There's a polar ice cap
pooling into danger
a north pole
giving you the cold shoulder
and further north
heaven
- for the eternal believers club -
or Valhalla
to sate one's inner Viking.
Or perhaps there's simply the stratosphere
the mesosphere
the thermosphere
and the exosphere
and up and up and up and up
until space
is out of space
and has to wait for more time.
In the meantime,
if you...
there's still more north to know
There's a polar ice cap

Monty Burns
He's evil, and he's funny...
except evil isn't funny...
so what makes Mr. Burns so great?
It's because we inherently know
that evil is silly WHEN it isn't a threat...
due to gerontologic circumstance.
Let's keep it that way.

Her Body Was That of a Dancer
Her body was that of a dancer,
all moving with ease and grace.
There was pride in her face,
pride in her history,
pride in her genetic heritage.
I wanted to coopt a portion of that pride,
to feel that inner strength of character.
So, I kissed her, expecting hesitancy.
I was wrong. She was ready to give
more than I'd expected.
I felt a wave of gratitude when
she kissed me a second time
and said only a simple, “Yes,”
with a warm tone of conviction.
The shiny black skin of a girl sweaty with...
all moving with ease and grace.

On the resilience of it
I watch raindrops
kissing my window
hear softness
tapping on glass,
I wrap myself in
this small moment
as I douse myself
into my cool bed
immersing my
raging skin in
the safety of it,
my thoughts turn
into salt water, my
body passes on
to the next wave
I lean into silence,
knowing how loud
the world is slowly
turning on it's axis
I remind myself
how my mind is
a blank flag,
how my body
turns into a riot
never stopping ...

If Only
If only every child
Had someone at their side who
Listened to them attentively
Took them seriously
Believed in their potential
Encouraged them
Always had their back and
Loved them unconditionally
This world would be a better place
Had someone at their side who
Listened to them attentively
Took them seriously
Believed in their potential
Encouraged them
Always had their back and
Loved them unconditionally
This world would be a better place

Fool's Gold
we all just
so digital
swimming in our phones
walking in our laptops
sleeping with our tablets
eyes deep in
thoughts arrested
make believe beauty
fairytale adventures
all at the touch
of your finger
grab a bag o'chips
and sit on down
where we going today...

Solider of Lust
At times I’m afraid to write ✍🏾
I’m thinking, Cause then I will have to be ready to fight….
I write and write with all my might.
I don’t even know how to sleep at night.
I’m just trying to get it right.

It ain’t at all right.
The struggle, the fight.

Old Folks, Beauty, Strength and Emotion
i remember grandpa had hands of wood, haired like a hedgehog.
a rifle hang on his living room walls, dating from French colonialism.
A handicrafted fine curiosity,bequeathed by a noble resident Frenchman ,
a fair colonial who rejected the war, abhorred the carnage
and massacre perpetrated against the unarmed people..
He left all his properties to grandpa for being friendly,
loyal and workaholic server, and a faithful gate guardian;
He left a treasury among which a double barrel rifle,

things ain't what they used to be
after work I stopped into
the oldest spaghetti house
in town for dinner
on the wall was a black
and white picture of Dean
Martin dumping a huge
kettle of pasta onto a
counter top
(Dean Martin was born
in this town)
the place, as usual, was
packed and filled with the
aroma of tomatoes, garlic
and bread
there's nothing fancy to
this place, just several
generations making
the best pasta in town
I'm shown a table
look at the menu ...

This man, ? No, Man
The road to humanity is strewn with thorns, spikes, with shards of bloody resistance,on
our chest we must creep to get to its heart, to which the roads are even paved with stark rejection,
merciless actions, irresponsible objections, and denial of the clear facts,,mindset fallacy and foremost false pretense..
And to the soul, the road is much more hard to follow, it passes over mountains
of patience, and across oceans of spontaneity, sail counter the flow of the actual
current,.......turn the hours back to original initiation..the soul is the...
