Missed Connections
The non-signaler in traffic,
or every half-met greeting, a reservation
is set for them in the Pit. Fumbled
stroll charged by creosote aroma, over
the bridge a spiked heat. Uncontrollable,
tar, dough. Expanded wood, the jammed door,
loosely bundled sock and your shoe hanging
off the toe, blustering, declaring
sensational soon-to-split irri-ta-tion.
Some kitchens are pristine and ours
grind crumbs in the bulk while we
are darkly snuggled, an irrigation into beds,
underneath our feet and on the verge
of farmhouse...

Ultraviolet
the parrot delights
even speeches even the rooster
sharpens you out of sleep
the beak parts and serrates
the mouth clay and i must trust
in high spirits all i see
are ghosting the outlines
the essence on walls
i must see see must i
it seems odd the invisible
narrowed to a box above aural
and the dark relied
from the canal's drums are it
them conquering aura has a grunt
we are mime become anti wind
that box we form...

Stories within stories within stories
Granite rocks are carved holding green inhabited valleys.
This place knows origin. A casting from a hill copper leafed light. Strange deities live in these spaces. No names were given to these fearful spirits. This is the old hearth of the village, where strange blessings and exorcism hang.In old curved curses. between malady and persuasion. In each folk tale these appear. Side walkers, cord dancers, lion tamers, snake charmers, outcasts and scapegoats.
They are never your typical family though we all have seen the likes of them.
Their house abandoned and emptied now....

Orange Felon
Orange Felon
As the story goes
It was 4 years ago
An orange felon with a pen
Wiped away all their sins
Cops were beaten down
With flagpoles bear spray and batons
Now those criminals go free
Where is the justice for the we
The police endorsed an orange felon
I don’t hear any outrage from them
I guess it’s ok if your on the orange side
If your not you must abide by the guide
Not even one day in the White House
As Elon gives a Roman salute not once but twice
Proud boys and...

You Can't Insure Death
So what! Big deal! A CEO dies
Too bad killer didn't biggie the fries
Insurance to boot
There's no surprise
Executive privilege
Often relies
In shareholder's name
Your claims denies
So policy holder
Delivered surprise
Good example to follow?
Perhaps time to rise?
Your aim is a message
To heads of big I.s
Too bad killer didn't biggie the fries

Your aim is a message
To heads of big I.s

Money and sex
Take them away from the psychopath class,
the class that takes excessively and calls trickling back to the workers the unfair part. The people who infiltrated our corporations, government, media entertainment outlets, nonprofits and school boards.
Give them no more money, as little as you absolutely can, and
give them no more sex, none at all.
Money gives them the means, but sex enables and empowers their behaviors.
I know the pickens are slim, but fuck more the conscientious free-thinkers. Fuck more their brains into responsible social action, because,...
