The NO! machine malfunction
Eeny meenie miney moe,
my day is flying – watch it go!
The to-do list is like a rope
around my neck – there is no hope…
…that I can get out of this heap
when every task is layers deep
and messages won’t quit – BEEP BEEP!
and people keep on asking me…
…to do the things I promised them.
What was I thinking way back then??
My stupid optimistic mind
has bit me in my own behind!
There’s only one thing this could mean --
I have to fix my NO! machine.
my day is flying – watch it go!
The to-do list is like a rope

Sniper Files #3 The Kill
As the moon hung low in the night sky, casting shadows across the deserted alley, I watched them from the rooftop opposite the dimly lit apartment building. The general's daughter, Olena, stood on the balcony, her silhouette joined by that of her lover, Andrei. They seemed lost in each other, unaware of the danger lurking in the darkness below.
I adjusted the scope on my rifle, my breath steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. This was the moment I had trained for, the mission I had been assigned by my superiors. But as I stared through the crosshairs, doubt...

i do not
enjoy
the taste
of fermented
grapes,
their juices
unpleasant
to me,
i would
rather
undress
myself
and run
through
the streets.

Final Battle*
Final Battle*
I have worn many hats and played many parts
and made numerous costume changes in my various roles
Sadly, first hand one day I will know "for whom the bell tolls"
until then I will cherish the good in a bad day if I have any smarts
In this lifetime, I have learn a few things
like the fact all 7 billion of us are flawed human beings
And when my back is against the wall
my best move is to drop my knees and pray to stand tall
that the written words of fools and sages
both begin on...

Brand New Illiteracy
With no more reverence for script
we are like the Eloi now
amid old books which won't endow
aloof cerebra ill equipped
to see the future much improved
from Anthropocentric shambles
and apocalyptic brambles
no lords of order have approved
for any Eden garden plot
on this or any other Earth,
steadfast for merriment and mirth
and by no petrodollar bought.
Come what may...we must ever read
if from that doom we would be freed.

Work Hours
It's been a long night
And I haven't slept
I'm tired as hell
But the sun is on the rise
So I gotta move my ass
And get shit done
I have a full time job
But I hustle on the side
And I put another 50 hours in
Each week
And then the weekend rolls in
Which should be a time to rest
But instead I work another job
Just to make ends meet
In the middle of my life
Maybe I'll get some sleep
Sometime next week
If I can find an hour or so
Or take a day off
I'm sure I can fit it in somewhere
In the...

Time Divided
5 days on,
2 days off
alternating
every other week
Split custody
isn't the easiest,
but I would never complain
That bond is the most integral
and I divide my life
based on those responsibilities
It is always strange
once I return to the quiet of house
once again,
there is a fusion of sadness
and relief
And sometimes the best tonic
once I am alone again
is a healthy escape
into those imaginative worlds
engaging in those devious thoughts
of bodies and release
...

MAGA
They've got a trigger finger itch
the likes of which you ought believe
are the first person shooter glitch
installed since Adam first beat Eve
and bruised that finger in the act
but blamed it all on the lady
since testosterone negates fact
and proceeds to call it shady.
Yet some of us are poison free
and see abuse through neutral eyes,
to mark susceptibility,
which bullies see as their next prize,
(in a one on one conspectus)...
but when meek numbers grow in size
those fuckers will respect us,
and all the...

SHUT Us
I think parks are wonderful.
Just like libraries.
Please don't SHUT us.

Telemachus
Thou attained divinity and taught us-
Like my father and Telemachus.
Thou may not be now with us-
Yet feel thou along with us.
Without thou we could not know-
God, The Mother or Odeyssus.
Love thou so much and thy thoughts-
Bless us to rise much above us.
Like my father and Telemachus.
Thou may not be now with us-
Yet feel thou along with us.
Without thou we could not know-
God, The Mother or Odeyssus.
Love thou so much and thy thoughts-
Bless us to rise much above us.

the old city
the old
city needs
to be
reincorporated,
the skeleton
needs
new flesh,
opened eyes
out of
curiosity,
her lover's
life
breathed back
into her,
a crowd
of people
wandering
inside
of her,
debating,
discussing
how they
can continue
to keep
her alive
from
now on.
