Beneath This Rhyme
Taking refuge in a desolate tunnel
Shackled with some troubled soul
Fate poured down a hateful funnel
Concealing hope in this rabbit-hole
Came to terms with these limitations
Rose like a phoenix to claim respect
Every choice is met with reservations
Each lie used as a means to deflect
Another tired victim of circumstance
Subjected to living on borrowed time
Love has been given one more dance
Revealing secrets beneath this rhyme

It can happen
When will this be over?
I use to drive a 1972 Chevy Nova
Please don't worry, don't be ashamed
Many people are set up, eventually blamed
How would you know that he was dressed like a she
You fell for her, but it was all make believe
Until that one day when you wanted to have sex
You stripped off all her clothes, and you asked for the check
Fuck this, why didn't you tell me you were a man
"Who cares baby, I'll make you feel grand!!"
No way dude
I had enough of you
I took my clothes and ran out of the house
To...

utterly
dwindling thought withering in context
my mind ceases in ideas and gets angry
withdrawing from the lense
I don't wish to be observed
shaken epiphany I am cut off
from who I used to be
evolving utterly different
I wonder did that version of me die out of necessity
keening hope she was so beautiful
she was not me but I share her memories
grief burdens me, I wonder did I kill her, one thought at a time
drain her essence and discard her in the past
the present knows only me
it's a curious thing, I...

INDOOR NUDIST COMES OUT
I unblushingly admit
To spending time without kit -
Yes, going au naturel
Now I live alone, I tell.
When I am indoors at home
I can everywhere roam,
In the rooms where privacy
Curtains and blinds guarantee
Do I go, as Adam did
In Eden, shameless naked,
Sometimes with the compromise
Of slippers and specs for eyes
To help me to write or read
When my vision has the need.
I like how I make less sound
When I walk barefoot on ground,
And how warm air feels on skin
When heating is on within....
To spending time without kit -
Yes, going au naturel
Now I live alone, I tell.
When I am indoors at home
I can everywhere roam,
In the rooms where privacy
Curtains and blinds guarantee
Do I go, as Adam did
In Eden, shameless naked,
Sometimes with the compromise
Of slippers and specs for eyes
To help me to write or read
When my vision has the need.
I like how I make less sound
When I walk barefoot on ground,
And how warm air feels on skin
When heating is on within....

Collage Art - Not Pretty - What I Do
On purpose
Cut up old paintings
Make collages
This one came out rustic
Added oil pastels
Functional
Not pretty
Life is like that
I’m not pretty anymore
Most parts still working …

WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY
WHY are you so angry about something, that you will never have no control over, for don't you see what you are doing to thyself and with your life. Why are so angry is it because you are filled, with your own thoughts of misery and pain and hurtful, things that continue to eat at your very thoughts and having you feel hopeless. Why are you so angry about your life is it because, you refuse to be able to be honest with yourself, for only you can truly understand that it's hard trying to be YOU. WHEN IT'S YOU THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE YOUR MIND AND HEART AND THOUGHTS, AS IN MENTALLY AND...

how long was it...
after they started telling you who to be
pigeon-holing & guilt shaming
putting up roadblocks & detours
planting landmines in your path
trying to force you onto their road
...before you finally gave up
...
caving to their demands
settling into their assigned mediocrity
because standing out...
...felt like being a target
& that takes too much energy
bullshit words spoken
eventually taken on board
as reality
...
one child encouraged
follow your wildest dreams

THE TRAP OF CATEGORIZING
Our day-to-day existence
is continually being
bombarded with efforts
to categorize everything
from A to Z and beyond.
This is especially true
when it comes to we humans.
In our minds, we practice
analyst management:
We categorize by gender,
height, weight, looks, gay, straight,
performance, education, religion,
ethnicity, morality, values,
tastes, talent, etc., etc.
Yes, perhaps in some disciplines
such as science and medicine
category analyst is essential.
But for me, and speaking
only for me,...

We are Earth
all of us
our unique fingerprint
carved into the present
moment of memory
We are earth
from root to crown
our individual history
recorded in each line
Sacred geometry manifests
patterns of existence
into the living
until fossilized
underground
We are Earth
experiencing form
all of us

Glass Box
the womb of the
woman who gave
birth to me was
brutally cut open
with a knife scary
hands wrapped
in plastic pulled
me out suddenly
& put me in a box
...made of glass
it's said it feels
like an invasion
creating a sense
of unsafety for the
...harmless baby
reading about it
it all made sense
the nightmares i
had as a child of

Litmus Don
Good folks have wondered long and hard...
"Why does god give us evil men?"
Like a wealthy social retard
who cannot quit his tyrant yen
which savvy youngsters know as cringe
and older folks know this as well
but use the phrase..."lunatic fringe",
mixed now with VonShitzinpant smell
(no litmus needed to detect).
But what of the sycophant strain
such despots are bound to collect?
How do we tell dude boon from bane?
It's by all of their Old Glory swag
that we know that they've sold out our...
