Present Day Sequel
Chaos rises before the sun even sets
Racing against time pedal to the floor
Pump the brakes on these vile threats
Robbing people and taking some more
So over the top his brain’s out to lunch
Under a corporate umbrella of confusion
Made the deal and received a gut punch
This paper tiger is another grand illusion
Distortion cuts through silence with rage
This present day sequel of the Gilded Age

Gaze
a melody plays quietly
and I agree deep within with the sentiments
I've been here before
So, why am I so perplexed?
wondering at the same stumbling blocks
tripwires of faith getting me tangled
problems I've faced before and never conquered
I'm left kicking my ass damn it I did it again
Socrates of knowledge
philosophy of none
my mind reels, and I open doors
and as Nietzsche's said
careful gazing into the abyss
It might just be gazing into you
so with questions posed
Answers are given but...

David Lewis and the concept of bearded men
The concept
of us in all time
and in no time
at the same time
a bitch-baby concept
to grasp.
Because the multiverse theory
says there are
infinite worlds,
and we exist
in some form
in each
So I assume rather
arrogantly
that a version of
Me
You
Us
wafts through all
space and time
in a philosophical
reduction
that we call:
quantitative parsimony
Each thing is a thing. ...

The Undertow of Life
There will be many things in our lives that we have to seriously question sometimes, for sure we feel like we are drowning in the undertone of life. Floating in a Undertow of the belly of the beast of darkness 🕳️ that has created morbid thoughts of death ☠️ in the shadows of our own personal thoughts. YET it seems to know what we need and want, but yet at what cost as we question, that scenario in retrospect is it testing our strength and perseverance. For sure does it see the truth of what our thoughts, are trying to hide behind the mask as a disguise 😞...

Evil Empire
I’m an advocate for compassion and empathy
But the recent political results left me disappointed
Now the world is lacking even more sympathy
While several leaders are illogical and disjointed
But I remember that before all this came to pass
I thought maybe we should let crazy take the wheel
I mean how often do you see a vehicle driven by an ass?
Spellbound by some witchcraft in the art of the steal
I think I wished for this so that all would be revealed
So that even the most blind would eventually learn
Thou shall fucketh...

Marriage Stuff
We come and go
Independent contractors of a life
Watching the news together
A slow motion work in progress
Together many years
Dog walks, family stuff, sharing
A popsicle after dinner
Coconut for her, lemon for me
Moments in a marriage
Affection, gentle touch, sharing
Respect, dignity, love

ODE TO RUTH WESTHEIMER 1928-2024 (DOCTOR RUTH)
Goodbye to "Doctor Ruth",
long were you in the tooth!
Sex guru from our youth.
you spoke of It the truth,
without being uncouth,
neither sounding aloof.

WHY I APPRECIATE POETRY
I have been asked many times,
"Why do you read poetry?"
"Why do you like poetry?"
The answer is simple and
involves many reasons:
I appreciate poetry
BECAUSE
...it stimulates my mind,
...it introduces me to new vistas,
...it helps me appreciate poets,
...it helps me to dare and write a poem too.
...it helps me raise new and challenging questions,
...it sometimes helps me make new friends,
...it doesn't take hard work to read a poem,
...it sometimes creates new and unusual desires,
...it makes the world more beautiful,...

Love to a Gunfight
"We're bringing love to a gunfight."
~ Janiva Magness
Your enemies are your greatest teachers
—the ones who step on your triggers
revealing wounds that haven't yet healed
Each lesion that re-lacerates history
is an opportune time to decide
how we're going to react or reply
There are no coincidences in life
nor mistakes, only experience
lessons to spiritually advance
Thank those who perceive you
their adversary—their gift
is the greatest...

Reflections
No mirror can reveal you.
Mirrors are for the physical world.
And you are not.

And you are not.
