Woolgathering Logic?
13/30
Woolgathering Logic?
I nearly had a pretty decent spill
lost it after mindless viewing
recent latest news
Lost it but the gist of it
still exists maybe
sticky maple syrup
though I’m unable
to capture, recapture
I never liked this feeling of nothing
of something stuck to me
like Fugitive Glue
only a “ Post-it “ note
away from fruition
so many pearls lost like
today due to ---- old age?
Evidently, 5 minute speed chess
Is not the only indicator
I should be...

Red Clay
Not so much a poem as venting out loud
*
Spent years here, I don't know, probably years too long
Things haven't always gone well, but never went too wrong
Things change, times change, nothing stays the same
And over the years I've culled over the remains
Progress has come for me at last with its cut down trees
Bulldozed, scraped raw, red clay swathes that bleed
Signs: 1.5, 9, 6 acres for sale popping up everywhere
Don't know how much longer I'll be here
Business park, subdivisions, a hospital coming and
Always...

Conscious
Collections of matter
-- atoms of stardust and dinosaur shit --
that for some obscure reason
have the ability to experience
thier own existence.
That's all we are, really.
Maybe this sentience
is imbued upon us
by some Ultimate Sentience
that just wants to
not
be
alone.
Or, maybe it's random physics.
Maybe it just IS.
Does it matter?
Either way, we only get to operate
this meat suit
for a miniscule blink of time
(don't get me started musing about time)
before it all disintegrates ...

Digital Madness
I'm locked in an insane reality
Like a TV or smartphone I can't turn off
Sometimes I want to rip my face off and lose my identity
Hack open a hole in my rib-cage and get the fuck out!

The Things I Think Every Day
Everyday becomes very familiar when a person retires.
You get up,have breakfast,make beds,put out washing....you know the drill.
But the most familiar things aren't things I do but things I think.Here are just a few.
• All suffering is caused by craving.The desire to have things other than the way they are.
• I need more sex
• Nothing is permanent.Nothing, not even my suffering.
• I need more sex
• Breathe,smile and accept whatever comes my way.
• I need more sex
• Resistance to pain increases my suffering..let go of resistance.
•...

the only path to
remembrance and brief Freedom.

Pretender
It takes some time to master decorum
Social queues and all that jazz
It takes a great deal of control
Meanwhile on the inside
It can be quiet the mess
I’m a sweater
Like hairy but also a person who sweats a lot
But in situations that require intense interactions
I can feel my body heat turn up when I’m on the spot
It’s taken years for me to work this resting “ick” face
Learning how to:
Respond without a stutter
Or not trip over my words
I had to learn to listen
And not just be a pretender
Because it takes...

Severed
It’s a new day, so my heart rises like the sun
It’s another moment of peace, before the yearning
Now, clouds have covered morning light
Just as you invade the crevices of my psyche
Shall I turn away? Shall I close the blinds?
I’m blinded by the rays that pierce the lace lined curtains… ruby red, like my lips you’ve come to know
I am swept away when your skin touches mine
I am the lost treasure of the sea, before it sinks
And I am indeed falling
Drowning in your arms
And begging to breathe
I thought it was the air from your...

Take me Out To
02/30
Take me Out To
Every year I’d get excited for April
not for National Poetry month, but
for Baseball!
My Mom loved watching her team
on the big television screen &
I loved watching any team play
with her.
Mom’s San Diego Padres
are really good this year;
she’s not going to get to see
any games.
I may not watch a single game
this year as I can’t hold back
my tears
because it was “ our thing “
and she’s not around anymore.
Well, at least there’s no song
to trigger me,...

Stay Strong & Focused
It's so good to hear you sounding so good and happy, man that's awesome!
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You have to pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself
Stay strong
Stay focused
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You have to pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself
Stay strong
Stay focused

Out of the Vortex
It starts somewhere over the horizon, the notion is gathering energy and speed, the
sound of motion is rising from the silence, drawing strength inward along with

. turbulent complex formations with uncontrolled ferocity. There .

Escape Ink
as a way to survive
distract myself or
"escape poetry"
as i like to call it
i started to put
my poems, the
older and new
ones in images
& some pictures
though i don't like
socials and dislike
instagram i made
the decision to get
them out there as a
legacy so to speak
it's not a community
& not DUP it's less
interactive or better
said: not interactive
but has to do for now
i may find another way ...
