Our healing village is down by the levee in New Orleans. I am deep in Psyche hospital funk. I am curled in a ball on the couch in a fetal pose. My mind is afloat in a Sargasso Sea of drugged peace.
The mind doctors take me off all my meds. I am alert and sitting for a change. Sarah and Pamela, who are counselors, walk by me. Sarah looks at me. “Paul did you know Pamela poses nude for artists in the French Quarter? You should come to a showing of her at the gallery after discharge.”
“That sounds like my cup of tea,” I reply, moon-eyed.

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. ...

~(y)our timeless traction & tactilities :: in process
if, “touch has a memory”
then, your musky trailing arrival
driving me in a dense haziness
of a nimbus stormy craziness.. in
an impregnating petrichor
pheromonal spree
from
your gentle touching grounds..
I breathe erratically arrhythmic..
as if a wholly deathly choking, a
lumping painpleasure struggle
you stuff me in… in
your arrowing magnetic eye
bows.. that dents & shrinks
my shiversweating contours
.. craving your metallic touch
but then, the foreplaying ...

This year I'm giving up shoes and social media -- just kidding
This new year I want to be a better person,
so I'll do some unattainable shit like
vow to piss away less time ,
to run more,
overthink less,
drink more water,
and eschew single-use plastic like it was
crawling with enviro cooties
and maybe I'll give up
social media,
and Taylor Swift,
and my argument,
that a taco is a
motherfucking sandwich
(you know it is)
maybe I'll give up...
you
as much as I...

Saharan memories
I imagine the day they
found a catfish in the desert
An archeologist winced at
an unforgiving sun,
stretched his neck
and polished another
fucking rock
in the stupid sand
and cursed the
sheer idiocy of it all
because it’s
drunken shit-faced dumb
to look for sea snakes
in the desert
But those intrepid explorers
found their evidence
About 100 Million years ago,
while T-Rex dropped shits the
size of smart cars,
the Sahara Desert
was a vast sea

A Chance Encounter
Annex Building
Manhattan, New York
Assocation Meeting
Raised voices echoed in the corridor sliced through the quietness of the boardroom. Everyone attending, including Isabella appeared nervous and anxious to get this meeting underway.
Julius stood ready to greet his employer.
The brown door opened, and emitted a light-auburn headed woman. Where have she seen her before? Isabella pondered as she tried to recollect. Accompanying her presence was a tall sinewy muscular-built man.
No! Someone tell her this cannot be...

Our Hearts Beat As One (Whispers of Love) (collab w/ Sappho)
To you, as you light up the sky
A perfect, lovely night for love
Our dreams intertwine and bind us Together, forever
My love,
I want to give myself to you
Completely lost in the magic and Beauty of the present moment
We lie in fog-covered fields
You & I harmonize like the stars
Your gentle lips whisper a song,
Lifelong
Your Ruby lips
Velvety and sweet like cherry wine
Need to be sealed with a kiss
That echoes in divine dimensions of
Future times
Eternally yours as the moon is ever so bright ...

falling in love daze
“Have you ever watched a leaf leave a tree? It falls upward first, and then it drifts
toward the ground, just as i find myself drifting toward you.”—Beth Kephart
how i remember riverbanks we sat on,
watching abscond the may bugs that we spat on,
goosing beneath the bough you hung your hat on.
gosh! how i loved the way you made me kiss you!
how i recall the day i caught you crying,
when tritely,...

Beheld Merciful (Edited)
Age lasting before
Froward whence came to be from
Creation until
Great inheritance
Planetary universe
Intention for all
Interject future
Absolution perfected
Potential in plan
Upon earthen man
Physical planes with spirit
Fortune mindfully
Natural gender
Regulated responses
Personal given
Finding happiness
The key to reproduction
A basic need is
Population grows
Morality confusion...

ragged-edges on my breath, on my body
The living room
had that cozy fall glow
as the day waned
and my body peaked
under your curiosity
The satin robe
I’d hidden in
pooled at my feet
like melted ice cream
as your knuckles
traced my collar bone
before you took me gently
to the floor
And made a crime-scene
outline around my body
with your exhale
My hair fanned on the carpet
skin dimpled with chills
as your lips
investigated
each white line
on my long body
My eyes squinched shut
fist balled ...

The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
And we found each other on the streets of Prague in the midst of a spring that rivaled that of ancient Ireland. Yet it was not a season such as Beltane but rather freedom from the polished boots of the Red Star. But when the Soviet tanks rolled in liberty was the rose that found refuge in our boudoir where hearts still blossomed while youth festooned rifle barrels with the flower of peace.
Her eyes were small as raindrops in the mists of dawn as she faced the tanks with the bourgeois decadence of wearing her faux...
