Especially for the Children and Animals of the Future

 #1 

Lord, please send protection

against the deceptive fingers 

gripping this world 

a stranglehold 

all surfaces are corrupted 

either by chemical castration 

or our mutating organic nature 

please lift the masking 

from the vision of the filters 

from the cosmic reality 

that is actual 


dirt has become a shield 

electrons scream 

Alien  DNA comes in copyright plastic 

wrap murder hornets and exploding populations of ticks 

screaming across every nook and cranny 

of our buttery goodness quaint Polaroid memories 

Mad, mad, mad cow disease 


exactly because America is so very awesome 

how can a country built 

on your name 

be systematically racist? 

Answer: it can't! 

Man can! 

There is no good man

There is only man

Humankind


We run The tables

We pop pop pop

we compete against one another 

to our very last breath


Every once in a while 

one jumps up 

with their eye on you


The prize


But no, not rich

No, not famous

Introverted and a bit childish, 

if anything moderately profound 

and THAT one

A rusted weathervane

Busted by years

Of abandon


When the wind picks up

Out on the prairie

Whistles down the mountainside

Sizzling rush through the turbine field 

Bubbles over a battling brook

Metal scraping metal

Spins the mute rusted  rooster

Round and round

Until... Somehow... Miraculously!  

He/She/It points to YOU! 

DIRECTLY! 

Into the blinding 12k 

virtual 4th dimension of reality 

that is YOU!

We feel the light of your grace

we can finally say 

in all that is honest

Dear God, 

my God, 

YOU alone 

are enough for me... 

My cup overflows

Feasting on Both Freedom & Liberty

Feasting on Both (Fast Food & Organic) Freedom & Liberty Fed on a steady diet Of river rats lashed together On rafts moaning to escape Persecution by dictator  & political factions 'Give me your poor... Yearning to breathe free...' Peopled by the under-appreciated Cast out as slaves by their own Kings & rulers 'We saved our last monies For passage to America...' America is paradise for the persecuted This stronghold of democracy Why is it As Americans, when we visit Other countries, We notice what they DON'T have? "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" They come HERE! Everybody & everything We have it all Wall-to-wall I doubt whether 99% Of the world would allow Their country to be populated In a manner so thusly inspired As if some dream...

A Covered State of Being Four a Five Day Work Week

Being that Bejing never cared to send a crate of beans A ukelele skeleton sat zebra crossing Late night at the dur dire Von wire tire site That was enough for any body with anti-microbial anti-body skills to kill The official office status of squish squashing Stash bashing on a hashtag of jet lag Easy like M onday Morning She'd never say 'Hey, hey-hey!' the way she played an Oxford hound home bound on the Down low hassock classic live and let live on life's pipe pick a poke of hokey jokey dribbling juke jotted Rotterdam joints of the finest Dutch druthers \weeping and creeping in the bird Aire all night long at least until Tuesday welds it up for Ruby And Lulu runs uptown Flight 8:30 came and went got bent then spent on the ghost toaster of incindiary cinnamon goalposts between the kicks were all up for in the over under past of passing psylocks that pass what it was when the fuzz found out (no doubt) all about that arthritic laced gout joust ...

Wet Spring Morning Electric Piano

it was the morning of the spring. As unpredictable as the weather patterns  of the Mid-Atlantic could be,  during this season, they would be this morning. What kind of southern hound, who enjoys the growl of rubber and asphalt, could stop himself from jumping in his car  and taking in the music of wet asphalt and breaking clouds?  Not i, gentle sleeper, not i. To let all the joy and misery of reality wheel about you,  while the eye speeds past the clumping Wisteria,  this must be what Morning from Peer Gynt is all about. The lilt of the flutes  while the k9 task force SUV is situated in a hiding spot  down the stretch of Old Statesville Road  between Oak Drive and Gibbon Road.  Of course he would give you a ticket  if you accelerate to pass the crusty eyed drivers  with no love for the visual paradise being offered. The mornings of spring are quite different from any other season....
