Reoccurring Dream
Artificial eyes see every thought
Mystic shadows gaining ground
Control the narrative stir the plot
Forging beasts out of ironbound

Digital Madness
I'm locked in an insane reality
Like a TV or smartphone I can't turn off
Sometimes I want to rip my face off and lose my identity
Hack open a hole in my rib-cage and get the fuck out!

Thora Flowers
unadulterated pain with its butterflywings mutated
they know how to morph but not fly
in sync with smiles that don't form from the soul
plastic, no paper will heal our planet
Who will heal the heart?
we used to know one another without talking
now we're afraid to look in each other's lying eyes
it's okay, smile nod, of course it is
penetrate the lie and sit and fib for a while
I don't know about you, but I'm dying inside
things are changing at light speed
but are they? I had a baby alive at five

SHE LEFT ME HER NUMBER
She'd been "playing away"
when we romped in the hay,
a casual pick up
that ended in a tup.
She left me her number,
while I still did slumber
when on she had put back
her clothes, left me in sack.
How was I, green, to know
that her cheated fellow
might answer the same phone,
hear my "Are you alone?"
When I called that number....
It got me a plumber
who, raged, threatened my life.
"You been screwing my wife?"
I heard a background scream,
as if some nightmare...

On ...Off ...Tell me Another...Cut the Crap !!
That's my new expression
Old school like me
No apologies
I'll run circles around your candy ass
Streaming replaced cable
Bigger and faster they claimed
Still clouds and freezes
Just more bullshit
On... Off I say
Freaks of nature
Guys wearing shorts in 40 degree NYC
Motorized bikes, scooters, skateboards
Riding on the sidewalks
Pedestrians be damned
Selfish isn’t a right of passage
Hold a door for your neighbor
On… Off I say

Beyond the Dial
When you look at their faces you can see something appealing
Under the crystal the hands that mark time just tick away
For whatever aesthetics or complications you may be seeking
It’s the inner workings that matter most each and every day
Beneath the surface you can witness a marvel of engineering
From balance wheels and rotors to jewels and gear trains
All this inside of a barrel where you can see a mainspring
I guess you can say all these tiny parts are the brains
Every single component is important for a timepiece to work
Imagined,...

Echoes
Bestirred by a radio app today,
reiterating the infamy date,
I recollected what my dad would say
about how that war affected our fate.
Sick, he had stayed home from Sunday school
where thusly by a broadcast he had heard
of the sneak attack on Yankee rule
and the international afterword...
which in a few short years saw him training
with artillery to use on Japan
when their empire was at last waning
along with their co-prosperity plan...
but Russian threats, and the atomic bomb,
had his odds increase for troth...

Fragile
It seems so fragile,
this intangible thing we share.
Or maybe it’s just that I feel
brittle
each time I encounter it.
I’m compelled to turn away
put it on a high shelf
where my clumsy hands can’t reach
to observe fondly
remotely
on days when I feel strong.
But on the other days…
I want to caress all its surfaces
perceive its smooth comfort
despite the risk of breakage and sharp corners.
Such a delicate thing,
this ethereal connection –
a vulnerable sanctuary.

Forgettable
Fusillades of faces -
All the modern things.
Feet into prints – Leaving no traces.
Shred sessions, into ribbons,
Falling to the floor
and more,
Falling away -
in segments.
Quick uploads -
into dissolution
vacancies
in memory breaches.
Photographic nothing.
Like -
Cigarette burns
at the surface
of the eyes.
So unseen -
in an absence
of meaning,
meaningless.
On to the next -
thing to be forgotten,
Ill gotten
begotten
of
...

Simply.. Him
The melody of my muse
Enthralling sensations from mental whispers as I seductively use
A very beguiling instrument of passion for a poetess such as me
In the form of a hirsute chest wall, dark-brown eyes, and a body as strong as the mighty sea
I can’t think straight I pull back my covers
His handsome manly body creeping between my thighs, as he hovers
He takes my mind to the revelation of the fifth wonder
Elated, sedated, which my mental muse has breathlessly created

Black Face
Let me give you redemption.
Everytime I ride you into a tree.
You're my favorite comedian,
And my noble steed.
Those bullet holes,
Are there to remind me,
Everytime I needed you,
After doing illegal things.
The government,
is coming after me.
Let's rob a train,
like traditional theives.
You have a black face,
But no Martin Luther King!,
You're just a dumb horse,
That does illegal things.
I hope I don't get banned.
I hope my horse understands.
When I whistle a command,
