i will not drink
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.

peace, grace and mercy
moving towards
it
through indescribable
tiredness
captured by
sadness as pure as
any holy relic
in the distance
it waits
waits
waits like nostalgia
of an old black and
white movie
I will find it...
eventually
find it maybe more
towards the end
then now
but I know it's out
there
and when I find it
I will sit
light a
smoke
watch the sky collect
clouds like a child
gathering...
it
through indescribable
tiredness
captured by
sadness as pure as
any holy relic
in the distance
it waits
waits
waits like nostalgia
of an old black and
white movie
I will find it...
eventually

Retired Souls In Rhyme Confide
I fear as I drip my word
Teardrops would be overheard
No verse shall set its rhythm or whine
I dread my anguish is seen as I rhyme
Whatever deep into my soul unable to mute
I wholly surrender to the magic of the flute
To bring the sublime into the mundane is insane
My world of poetry, in your glossary no word for strain
Blind to the divine truth we wander astray
Tempted by sick feelings we fall an easy prey
Of all the stages, one and only age
When the Self falls into the clutches of rage
Granted is the time to ponder and reap ...
