The Train Kept A Rollin
A teenage girl somewhere anywhere was busy text messaging friends on her cell phone a month ago.
She was walking along a set of railroad tracks.
Although deaf since birth, she had frequently proclaimed that she could avoid danger more easily then hearing people.
She was much more sensitive to vibrations, especially from approaching trains and those roaring train whistles.
She was wrong.
She was mangled beyond recognition.
They were able to identify the body, since her i-phone survived the collision.

Glowing Hands
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul
But lately it seems they're fixed on screens
From televisions to computers and mobile devices
Everyone is on their gadgets from adults to teens
Everyone is doing it, walking and some even driving
Fixated on whatever it is the internet is providing
And though technology gives us the world easily
The human experience seems to be sliding
I don’t mind the glow from people’s hands
Off in their own world, whatever that may be
But when there is beauty all around us
Our spirits slowly lose...

Illuminate
inside the houses of nine
I see you Zomb
my immortal enemy
wolf against bat
inside the scorn scream
Illuminate this oh ye Night's Templar
I see the red new order
it has been previewed and broadcasted
Revelations revealed the truth in part
my lips are sealed Father
I cry now not out of weakness but happiness
with a heaviness on me I can barely stand
you chose me to speak and I am
gifted with great magics
it's a miracle I still stand
I came for war
I didn't come to die
I shall see you...

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...

Single Lens Reflex
For years they let us see the view
through any type of lens,
for portraits or landscapes anew
and fashionista trends.
The key design ingredient
was pentaprism glass
which rendered more expedient
a route for light to pass...
for when the shutter blocked the scene,
in previous designs,
we also knew the focusing screen
helped us sight the lines...
and by that screen glass we could see
the scene unlike before,
with new optical liberty...
photographers adore!

The King’s Most Trusted Seer (We’ve Only Just Begun-COTS)
Missing children, organs gone, and horrific experiments to assess how life is prolonged
Bought and sold for that feeling, does not the Creator see what’s going on
We have returned to question the validation of the Human race, it does not matter the color of skin we all come from one mother, Earth
One a bed of soil, inhale, exhale. eternal rest laminating in dirt, no material gains to showcase a life’s worth
The gospel and why it is told in such poor taste
And why wings of wise owls no...

Open : Commence : Finalize : Repeat
This QuickBooks accounting
is multitasking maximized,
just using my brain as
an electronic mainframe -
rerouting and attaching,
uploading and backtracking...
and now it’s got me wondering
why my mind hasn't just
been replaced with the latest
iPad or Notebook?
Maybe I'm just
being trained to sustain
this workload in hopes
that one day
I'll evolve to another plane,
perhaps AI, or else
let’s face it -
what’s the fucking point?

Ghost Drivers
You're freaking me out, Waymo.
I've never seen invisible.
But there you are,
driving with your invisible hands.
Drinking your invisible latte,
radio tuned to KBOO
Take me for a ride, Waymo.
Thrill me with your silence.
Let me stare out the window,
lost in my thoughts,
instead of having to answer
dumb questions about Christmas shopping.
I could like you a lot, Waymo,
once I get used to you.
I want to defend you against ignorant naysayers,
wringing their hands about safety.
I'll vouch for you.
You...

Balancing the scales of (the) justi(fiable)ce.
Yours, is a new face
Oh so desperately dark
tantalizingly to tremble
temptational taunts
unveiling
delicious
mouth watering
momentum
as wet fingers
circulate
hard thoughts
and all that is
devilishly
savvy
An unknown.
Choice
purposely pursues,
intentional
misdirection;
blissfully
discreet
romping
through
unnoticeable
shadows
as ...
