Algorithmic Meat-Machines
There was a young man who considered
just who is this “I” in a dither? —
I’m making decisions
an act of derision
by shrinking my “self” to a slither.

Gogyoshi Poem, Nr.10 — Arrival of the Fittest
Two guys hung from nooses on different branches of a big tree.
My, oh my said the alien tourist
so that’s how humans are grown…, on trees … who’d have thought?
But do they fall to the ground naturally, then walk and talk —
or are they picked?

Jersey Boy
i moved away from my home town
in new jersey at the tender age of thirteen
this is just to say
there is not much geography
to jersey only eight-thousand-seven-
hundred and twenty-nines square miles
the state of new jersey is one-fifteenth the size of Arizona
new jersey fits easily a dozen times times into arizona
(with room left over for delaware rhode island vermont
and some of new hampshire)
if you were born in new jersey then we were born nearby
perhaps not in body, mind or time but in geographic...

I’m Ready
My heart, mind, and body, seeks good cheer
Inhaling and exhaling for another marathon year
Getting my temple adjusted to the post Covid-19 of training for my first passion
Nike sneakers laced up… Sports bra, Nike shorts running against the wind as my heart rate is hashing
College, grades, profession, editing novels, keeps my mind from crashing
25 pounds of sheer endurance lifting dumbbells
Grimaces, body stiff, muscles fatigued, lactic acid to the knees from pavement pounding, sore palms, the grit of training no one ever...

Two Hemispheres
I have two hemispheres
One is full of art and nonsense
The other is analytical and cold
They do not mix well

A Chaotic Melody (Random Journal Entry)
sunset calls the sky home
in a land where the crisp air
of a winter that doesn’t
hurt
fills my lungs until
they beg for release;
I make them suffer
just a little
for the sake of gluttony
I can breathe again
somewhere between
the habit of being
my mother’s daughter
and the responsibility
of my sons’ mother,
I forgot how to be myself
my soul suspended
over the dark chasm
of the unknown,
I swing rather delicately
from strong rope
as voices below ...

Crossing Over
I’ve gotten multiple inquiries asking me in regards to why I write about Angels
If I close my eyes, I can picture the reminisce of Hell and Heaven, as if I was there among the three Kings journeying, awaiting to see a false illusion in a manger
Ancient times is so misunderstood, everyone claiming to be some Demigod or the encircled one in grandeur rites of the five rings of witchhood
Exemplifying to be the best, casting first stones, promising in vanity to be the chosen one, no, it is only an assertion which wallows when the mind is mentally unfit,...

SADNESS BEHIND A HAPPY FACE
An urban proverb promises:
"Smile and the world
smiles with you. Frown
and you'll frown alone."
Life is made up of the
process of "sowing and reaping."
We are constantly hearing
or being told, "Put on a
happy face" as if that will
automatically create happiness.
On the ancient Greek stage,
and later on the Shakespearian stage,
Masks were worn by actors.
The word "hypocrite" was used to
refer to an actor who was playing
a part. Today it is used to refer
to a person's behavior that isn't
genuine or real--a...
