I Hate Computer Cookies
I hate stubbing my toe on a piece of furniture, it’s ok though, I shout at the furniture too. I hate opening the box of matches upside-down. The free fall of matches does something funny to the psyche doesn’t it?
I have issues with pizza. I hate when I drop the pizza gooey side down after trying to remove it from the oven without a pair of oven gloves. Then I hate burning the roof of my mouth for the second time because the first bite into the roasting hot pizza wasn’t enough to teach me a lesson. And I hate the inevitability of the pizza ending up on my new white shirt.
I...

What am I?
Light enwombed in darkness,
Light without heat,
World without gravity,
And when I am with you,
My shadow is more substantial than belief
I span hours in seconds,
Walk miles without feet,
And our trek together ends oft
Without memory,
At times, I gather fear,
Closer to the chest,
Than a heartbeat
At times I comfort those
Who grieve
Sometimes I tell
Truth, sometimes I
Deceive
What am I?
While you ponder it, let's catch up.
Hey,
So what brings you...
Light without heat,
World without gravity,
And when I am with you,
My shadow is more substantial than belief
I span hours in seconds,
Walk miles without feet,
And our trek together ends oft
Without memory,
At times, I gather fear,
Closer to the chest,
Than a heartbeat
At times I comfort those
Who grieve
Sometimes I tell
Truth, sometimes I
Deceive
What am I?
While you ponder it, let's catch up.
Hey,
So what brings you...

Unseen Truths
Our stomachs shred themselves
to process over-emotional energy
A congress of educational facilities
is filled with hidden histories
and somewhere an adult is surprised
to learn of certain atrocities
committed by their own country
Asking why they weren't taught
the truth of a thing
before their 50th birthday
Why they were robbed
of enlightened opportunity
Somewhere, a white politician walks
in a three-piece Lazio and smirks
shadowed by a news crew
into a...

Ground Control
Walternate Universe Beta-2
It was 11:12pm when I stepped on the other side of the portal
I found myself in the front yard of a house on the countryside
I took my helmet off looking up at the night sky filled with stars
Glad to be back on the ground and looking for my new guide
The porch light turned on and he came out slowly to greet me
His hair was almost white but I noticed he had many scars
“I’m glad to see you” he said hugging me like we were old friends
“How about a late supper you must be hungry after being on Mars”
We sat...

Lost in Space - Mars
Walternate Universe Beta-2
“There he is” an older man greeted me as I stepped through
“We’ve heard you’ve been traveling the great vast of space”
There were several people standing next to him on a platform
“Welcome” another man said but I thought I recognized his face
“I’m Dr. Young, this is Dr. Mathers” they introduced themselves
My eyes opened wide that these men were living in Mars
“Don’t tell me Dr. Shakur and Dr. Smalls are here too” I said
“No, they passed away sometime ago and now rest amidst the stars
Do you know about...

Lost in Space - Titan
Walternate Universe Beta-2
I stood up looking in the middle of what was a hangar
Many large windows looked out into a very dark sky
The strange landscape seems hazy from the inside
While the giant planet and its rings loomed nearby
It’s quite a sight, one I could have only imagined
When the sudden realization finally came to mind
The engineers from Europa were supposed to send me home
Now I’m farther out and losing even more time
A giant rover appeared from behind a garage door
The driver looked bewildered when he saw me...

Lost in Space - Europa
Walternate Universe Beta-2
“How did you get here? What’s your Alpha designation?”
“R-O-O-92” I replied to a council of five behind a desk
“R-O-O is not an Alpha designation” one of them replied
“How did you get that brace?” another one inquired
“I was brought to a citadel in Alpha 1”, I began to explain
Recounting the last nine parallel universes I’d been through
“My brace was damaged during a car crash
And I left my daughter alone in the cold on a bridge on Earth!”
“R-O-O” I heard some from behind me from others behind me ...

The Bridge
Walternate Universe LGAG-9395
I was still reeling, feeling feelings from the day before
Today some alternates are celebrating my father’s birthday
“You’ve got to help your daughter” this time TOTO advised
“She might commit murder so you better not go astray”
“What? How?” I asked as if waking up out of a trance
“Her abusive husband” he said “tonight she’s going over the edge
In this parallel world you’re currently in prison for embezzlement
But right now you need to save his life and that’s not a stretch”
“How am I in prison…” I...

The CEO
Walternate Universe – KP3434
“TOTO I’m tired, I’m sleepy and my feet hurt” I told my handler
“That’s on you” he said “you’ve been up for over a day and a half
You can have a couple of hours of rest here because in the morning
You are going to save the livelihood of your friends and staff”
As I walked through the dimly hallway past many other stations
Portals opened up as other people traveled in between realms
TOTO took me to a breakroom for those tired and weary travelers
It had beds and so I'd sleep for a bit until it was time to take the...
