Mrs. Doubtfire
Feeling the burning honey slowly pour
From the white sands, the Heavenly skies, cast down to the beautiful shores
I suppose men would say such drastic and unfavorable things
When incorrectly birthed as a chick who flings a ding ding
I do not understand she of a man these days
Always shading the sun, polluting the air when they are jaded with their secretive palm play
Neglectful to groom facial hairs
Cheap five and dime cheap suits, to them, the inner beauty of a soul will never compare
Mentality to degrade using the supreme rules…hum… how many...

Unique
I once ran into a tagger, a street artist
Who went by the name "Unique"
Though he looked kind of young
The guy had a really good technique
But the font he was using
Kind of made me question his name
He spelled “Unique” differently
I wondered if he would reach some fame
I asked if he had a girlfriend
He said he was married with two kids
Then it finally dawned on me
The guy was unaware of what he did
They say ignorance is bliss
So I walked away listening to my music
Unique had been tagging walls
Writing...

Whispers woven of darkness and light
I read of assumptions
that masquerade
small twists of random soaring reality.
Simple manipulated deflection,
in hopes for redirection.
"...Cast as victim or villain, perspective skews..."
I read a lack of willing compassion
where it's easier to blame
than it is to take responsibility;
humility taking a backseat,
as a suspect version of certitude
"my-way-or-the-highway's" it
I saw it repeat,
repeatedly.
Flashing coyly into narrowed minds
blowing fractural...

The Paste Eater’s Grave
I.
In Goldfield, Nevada
there stands a stone-
unknown man
died eating library paste
July 14, 1908
The postmortem examination
revealed he was starved to death—
would have found the mixture sweet:
flour, water, 60% aluminum;
but, an entire jar a deadly treat
The only thing to his name
was a letter addressed to Ross ...

SIX FEET BACK OR SIX FEET UNDER
Here we are nowadays going through the motions, trying to stay focus and alive in these troubling times, that has us hypnotize walking around with confusion and doubt of what well tomorrows count will be. For even the small children's are questioning us as adults, why can't I see my friends and family and go to school to get an education. For how did we get here to this degree of existence where we have to wear protection, against a virus that appeared out of nowhere baffling even the science of human nature. For even us as adults have to decide how do we keep our family safe and secure,...

Manifesto
I'd like a constitutional upgrade
For lumpenproletariat concerns,
Like what Christ on The Sermon Mount outlaid,
Which MAGA mania routinely spurns
Because evangelism always lies,
No matter the flavor or the brand,
When its true nature is to despise
Diversity well continuum spanned...
Since fresh ideas are never allowed
Anywhere near the conventional mind
Bearing the taint of the unduly proud
Who have no intention of being kind...
And, oh, how pathetic to hate and hate,
Never knowing...it NEVER makes us great.

Triad
Untwist my sack and lay waste to the pain
dark's going to bring you snorkeling fame
releasing my bollocks gelding my name
with my gnarly old withered writing cane
tattooed on my ass with a Jack Daniels stain
sitting on the curb waiting for the society train
to play catch up with my proclaim
in my narcissistic one-seat campaign
dark's going to bring you snorkeling fame
releasing my bollocks gelding my name
with my gnarly old withered writing cane
tattooed on my ass with a Jack Daniels stain
sitting on the curb waiting for the society train

Naked
The King dances naked
As the procession marches on
Carrying flags of retribution
My mother sings his song
Looking into the fire
The pages keep us warm
The guillotine is sharp and shiny
We better just read along
Truth dangling by a thread
From the rope upon a tree
Doesn't matter what you think
Drink the cool-aid not the tea
Drive them out no sanctuary
They all need to flea
My father told me to think it through
Though thinking is not for me ...
As the procession marches on

Doesn't matter what you think
Drink the cool-aid not the tea

Tide Ride
a little swell
a splash and crash
a whimper
that's all
same stuff peddled
angst and nothing
when all's done
it's a big whole void
wind blowing between eyes
squinting at letters
jumbled abbreviations
swotted years for those
same old tepid liquid
left in dirty mugs
crumbled cookies
who cared anymore
reading tea leaves
thinking of magic wands
to return them all
to nowhere land.

Woman wants magic
But woman refuses to
Deal with her demons
