Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
Well placed tourniquet
May staunch national bleeding
But an infusion
Of decency is called for
Replenish dearth of honor
Best people promised
Delivered hucksters and frauds
Germ deniers all
Not a washed hand in the bunch
But they sure do dress purty
Cherished by a once
Aspirational nation
Transfusion needed
From those that have sold the truth
For their own capital gains
schadenfreude days
current leadership takes time
to throw our nation
under the grinding wheels
on the bus of history
wriggling about in
homemade wormhole forever
forgot the timer
Civilizations
That hibernate in the sand
Tell tales we should heed
Reliving adventures with biscuit
Geezer and Geezerette joy 😂
Contrarian stand
Refuse to rotate my tires
I'll die on that hill
If you scooch over
I'll rotate just a little
We'll have something there
I know where to go
When feeling parched and lonely
Next morning more so
A librarian
Can be most contrarian
Because they read books
Karmic justice will
gestate in it's own time
No need to push it
Karmic justice will gestate
Eventually
Myth creates the caste
Idolatry glorifies
Selfish behavior
Over good for the many
With fictions in media
pine for the oak grove
harrow the yarrow hero
the marrow of myth
thought if I combine
this with that I'd get something
This is what I want
So I combine this with that
This is what I got
We want the future we were promised
Not the future we deserve
There is not enough
Glade air freshener around
To make me not mind
The stench wafting out of the
White House these days in DC
Start as a skirmish
Becomes full on donnybrook
Then big bada boom
old friend on Facebook
reconnect was a gamble
then hit the jackpot
Many years ago
I packed up all my troubles
In an old kit bag
It was too heavy for me
So left it on the roadside
I feel terrible
Not only for littering
But for who finds it
I bet they thought it was cash
Woe and misery instead
pondering at the
precipice of my palate
balsamic balance
savory and sweet linger
with trace memories of her
Sometimes I do five
Just to keep the algorithm
Slightly off balance
I said nobody
Puts ambient dread powder
In a cardboard box
It comes in plastic baggies
The good old nickel bag dread
What's going on here
Ain't no Boxer Rebellion
More of a greedy
Botox grifter power play
Grabbing more bloat with our bucks
haiku pebbles fall
like rain on the upside down
online lake of void
the ideal plum
for me is downloaded in
wrinkly prune format
With a great big yawn
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Is it nap time yet?
allegiance to a
floating crap game with loaded
dice and marked cards
will not a patriot make
floating crap game played
with loaded dice while dealing
out marked poker cards
not an easy allegiance
for a patriot to make
Where money is charged
Profiteers keep opaque what
Species go extinct
Phrazez that Payzez
I guess I was just born
A little bit out of control - Dave Allen
The abyss between
Objective reality
And their perception
Devours all the safe space
Leaves all the evil behind
a very clear sign
that the barn door is open

Nibble and a sip.
On your person. In your bag.
I could count on yum.
You can't judge a fish by its packaging.I bought some wild caught cod at the Jewels. Got it home and when I took it out of the shopping bag I noticed an off smell. Put it in the fridge and it made the fridge smell funky. Went back and forth whether to pitch it or not. Put it into a paper bag and took a walk. Decided that when I took it out of it's packaging I would give it one more sniff test. Out of it's sealed package it no longer stunk. So I gave it the instant pot pressure steam and it was delicious. I am writing this to remind myself if I get sick or keel over I was wrong. 06/28/2024
I like to turn off the window AC unit early mornings so I can give my tinnitus whispering the full attention it has earned. 🔔👂🔔
Phrazez that Payzez
Oh blinding light
Oh light that blinds
I cannot see
Look out for me - Fire Sign Theatre
I whistled that tune right before a young gentleman walking while staring at his phone nearly bashed into me. Got his attention and disaster was averted 😁
You were my first draft
Left glorious and unscathed
That was our #moment
Then the real world rushed in
Forcing revisions on us
Before it's too late
Send for ale and fresh horses
Siege necessities
plastic surgery
botox filler fakery
like peas in a pod
You became my poetry
Fortuitously or ill-fated
Left glorious and unscathed
You were only my first draft
The time it takes to
Send the moment to my brain
Seems to take longer
nothing more useless
than unasked for advice, won't
listen or follow
Profound formula
X-rays times Y-rays equal
Ludicrous thought rays
