Io
Io.
I've never understood how to circumnavigate the Gods,
how to lay in their lashes of skirts -- all belly.
I'd go rippling pale upon wide mouths of infinite blue. Your eyes were that blue when howling at stars.
I think of them when luminous, shivering, ending,
the ache of which, I'm told, may be measured on an app.
I paint the maplines of your face,
without seeing it sometimes.
It's become faded from view like the Muses who sing
to cold riverbeds, colder still for their lack of slashed gills.
Each one is...

The Human Parasite
For millenniums, we have been observing a planet in distress.
The planet is infested by a parasite called human.
We have waited a long time and we will not wait any longer.
The human parasite is the only life form that is ruining the planet.
If we do not intervene now, it will be too late.
The planet will not survive the infestation of this deadly organism.
We must stop the depletion of the earth’s vital resources.
The human parasites express a murderous and hostile trait.
We have fully tested these beings and the experiments have failed.

Life Of Adventure
for awhile i lived
in green bluff iowa
catacombs in mexico
a cellar growing mushrooms
i ran with anthem sprinters
socialized with vampires
travelled to african savanna
(through the big screen tv)
spent an evening strolling
attired in a wonderful ice cream suit
past the halloween tree
with uncle einar
i was chased by t-rex
while singing the body electric
pathways lit by golden apples of the sun
terrified by child assassins
driven crazy by the weather
played hopscotch

Raindancing in a Desert Through a Timewarp
You are a one-way Time machine headed ever deeper into the future. Time wedges itself between you and the past and grows, pushing you further apart. That distance doesn’t generate clarity or insight, but it can be a room where Hope and Disappointment learn how to have a conversation, so Hope doesn’t grow up to be Expectation or Attachment. Complicating matters, your central processor can glitch: interrupted interpretations, inventing false inventory, introducing a retroactive, unintentional attention intervention. Hindsight 2.0 is not effective antivirus prevention as advertised. It’s not...

Along a weed blossom lane - a rift in time
A rift in time
Split a man in two
Two men emerged
On opposite sides
Of an iridescent fissure
The second man
A young man heading north east
Not knowing who he will become
After the wilderness of youth
A spiritless well paid career?
Failures and success
Ebbing fulfillment?
Marital acquiescence
Fatherly responsibilities
Accepted…run from…shirked?
The first man
An old man heading south west
Smiled as he forgot who he was
The fog was kind
Wandering to the grave ...
