"Mama,
the sun is
in my eyes,
I am blinded!"
"That's okay
my child,
it is far better
not to see the
world for what
it really is."

the cook and his sister
the cook and his sister
once I was a poet blinded by the shiny pebbles, by the shore
of purity and heart delight, but it was not to be
although it was said about me in India, this man is really innocent
My sister stood crying at the railway station in Montreal
so, what are the tears for Are you not alive
you silly girl; I have been dead for 44 years
and you think you have forgotten
can forget about real life, anyway
I have never been
in Montreal, especially now that I'm dead
you should see the main street in Montreal
it is...

Asking Jeeves
In nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn

Charades
In every human nature something secret resides
righteousness and virtue have another side
like someone cheating but accuse another
deep inside self-disgust and unhappiness fester
there may be some who genuinely show
their true selves in every demeanour
there may be some planting judas kisses
on the cheeks of those they pledged a vow
playing their life like a charade
with masks to include some intrigue
palms together smiling with pride
for successful friends but jealousy writhe within
lips speak with kindness yet...

Pain of Forgotten Man
From the shallow mind of a cynic
Woe be the pain of the forgotten man
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Driven by the desire to be
Someone's Raggedy Andy
Now an old soul speaking to the dead
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Playing pick-up Sticks with a shadow
And screaming curses of insanity
Now a lost genius in a glass house
From the shallow mind of a cynic
Woe be the pain of the forgotten man
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Driven by the desire to be
Someone's Raggedy Andy
Now an old soul speaking to the dead
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Playing pick-up Sticks with a shadow
And screaming curses of insanity
Now a lost genius in a glass house
From the shallow mind of a cynic

it's a real crime
recently
our city council made
it illegal to be homeless
in public
since when did the poor
and destitute become
criminals for being poor
and destitute
bulldozers came and
bowled over a homeless
encampment
...just when I think our
species can't get any
lower
I get proven how wrong
I am...
again
again
and
again
one would think that
after 65 yrs I would ...

Rising To The Occasion, Jaden Doubles Down
It's time to stop
It's time to stop
The blood from running
From the fractured corner
Of my crumbling psyche
Marionettes are dancing
Choking on the machine
It's time to stop
It's time to stop
The blood from running

The blood from running
From the fractured corner
Of my crumbling psyche
Marionettes are dancing
Choking on the machine
It's time to stop

Of Sins and Alibis
Between pages of sins and alibis
were souls and dark tides abide
paying poll tax in with a penny
prayin' "O' lawd" it be for salvation
walking the dog cold on the inside

Hate Disguised as Love
You love the unborn
with all your heart
Until they are born
Become people
And sin
Enforce your version of biblical morality
on those that you claim to have once loved unconditionally.
Now there are conditions
for those who are
gay
unmarried and pregnant
made a mistake
unwilling to carry a rapists child
pray to different gods
whose mind and genitals don’t align.
You demonize
torment
vilify and degrade
those
who were once so easy to love
What...
with all your heart

Pointless Poem
the label on the
yellow net bag
in bold letters
“seedless lemons”
whats the point
of a seedless lemon?
isn’t the purpose of fruit
to propagate
to make seed to distribute
to insure survival?
so whats the point
of a seedless fruit?
same as a
pointless needle
or this
pointless poem

We think, therefore we are
-
"I'm a free man, not a number"
words echoing in the dark
once reality and anthem
now just a dusty and worn out dream
beg
get down on your knees and beg
lick the boots from your gilded cage
how dare you...
talk about biology
or race
or IQ
pretending we are free
when we cease to be useful, we will cease to be
and we will never see it coming
... because it's already here
we have been shorn and herded, taught what to believe
we are killed off at...

Cheating at Rainbows
I have no time or tolerance for fools
or those who cheat at rainbows
dark stands ajar with an open-face
though the silence speaks louder
then the sweeping gross negligence
of the clueless as life passes them by
playing jabberwocky to a shadow
with a catcher's mitt, thinking they are Oz
or those who cheat at rainbows
