Dial Portugal 1944
Under the cloak of neutrality,
Portugal, land of ancient navigators,
watched the world in calamity,
in the silence of their own fears.
Salazar, with his iron hand,
kept the war out the door,
but the echo of the conflict was sincere,
and in the gloom, hope was dead.
The Tagus reflected the moonlight
while spies danced in Lisbon.
War, a shadow that continues
in the story that memory sings.
Tungsten fueled the economy,
dark business in dark times.
Neutrality was a utopia
or a game between several...

Communism
Communism
is like a workers' union
on a national level,
or,
even better,
a global level,
and everyone benefits,
because profits
are shared with everyone,
and progress is shared with everyone,
generating more productivity
with fewer human resources.

There is one of these to see. (life)
Some propose scarcity -
While others propose abundance & manifestation.
And somehow…
Choice is involved.
But nevertheless…
Forces flow through the human organism
Into the light – like mushroom clouds
And rip the twines of the binary
with pure power.
In the wars of the titans
gods or godlike
Sophisticated weapons that shoot out stars
with Tesla rays
& take over the real estate
to create
lineage

Sonnet Nr.02 — Cricket-Football-Rugby
The batsman hit the ball as hard as hell
it flew beyond the line, a certain ‘six’
the umpire signalled both hands up to tell
as crowds applauded calmly pleased to bits
The centre-forward dribbled past the backs
and thwacked the ball, off-side, in back of net
the referee was blind or rather lax
or maybe bent the rules to win a bet
The fly-half took the ball and ran the pitch
a sprint of fifty yards, touched down to cheers
the try converted straight without a hitch
and local...

paperbacks, before nineteen seventy one
in his jacket he discovered half a crown, got in a right 2/6d about it
doesn’t matter now, but back then it was the price of a penguin

Yours Sincerely
.. ... ...
An internal garden at a diplomatic mission
A shadow of a Boeing flying over the orchids
A greenway connects the embassy site to suburban station...
And a subway stop ...
Stop... Stop...
Stop this resistance to reality...
Sublimation feelings producing adrenaline
Where does the external world belong?
Making over business to me...
It is an old custom... Methods and jobs
Stimulate investments in movies and libraries
Yours sincerely...

Rent Without Lingerie
Rent Without Lingerie
“Honey, did you do the laundry yet?”
“Remember, I told you my computer science finals are next week. College is an old bear and I have to focus. I wish you didn’t have the bear the weight of chores.”
“You are wearing nothing but a negligee. You seem to invite naughtiness.”
“Well, even scholarship gets a spring break. Is my lingerie distracting you from household attentiveness?”
“New Orleans nights can get hot. So you go right ahead and wear that chemise.”

The Working Hard
Compassion can be an elusive beast
often on reserve when we need it most
I walk among the working poor
and I pity any of you who make less
than your partners
It is a thankless task
to be challenged to
siphon more and more
from significant less
They detach from the reality
that it takes extreme caution
to maneuver money
to accommodate expenses
It is an awful feeling
to be reminded that you never make enough
to satisfy the whimsical notions
of those who have the extra

ginger bread man of wall street
gingerbread man run away home
to icing on the cake and lascivious dreams
lavish living has made you weak
soft hands and well-manicured nails tell a tale
of a man used to getting his way in business and life
a bully in negotiations...
you hold all prisoners hostage
file that under passive-aggressive
when sideways smiles count as currency
your flippant attitude towards the lower classes irks me
a soul on loan...exhibit for the heartless
further proof somethings is missing
your money reeks
yes men count...

The cost of a lost coin
Three pairs of thin boned legs
hung over the marble monument,
that swung a crumbling tribute
to the first death on a railway.
Seed heads swayed like flotsam
sticking to the oil soaked sleepers,
the overgrown sidings wilted in the heat
flattened hawthorns hid our tired bikes.
Large white rocks, lined the polish-topped rails,
so big they were hard to walk on.
Our two pence pieces had been placed on the track,
sitting back we waited for the 2:15 to Liverpool.
That was when I first felt it,
a steel...
