Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
delight in written
literature has enchanted
me with each page turn
so much "winning" with
jarring hypocrisy on
unabashed display
enjoy patio
fireplace before it gets
just too darn cold here
jarring liturgy
literature tossed in fireplace
on truth's patio
Hair Nails Bones Temper
This once flexible geezer
Gone full break brittle
seems breaking the law
is a favorite pastime of
those making the law
no turnips allowed
just eggplant and tomato
a nightshade flirt fest
Brain plasticity
Of a turnip flirts with law
Brittle power play
open hidden doors
or slam them shut and lock them
language is the key
problem with leaders
as they lead you might end up
with lead poisoning
I'm no fashion plate
But when I put on new clothes...
Glide back in my stride
While putting cut in my strut
Like Tom Waits on a clear day
The language of lead
May get you new clothes today
Clear day dead later
We had history
Added some more history
Then tragic exit
warped reality
misread biofeedback loops
wrapped around my head
Tickle in my throat
Fingers and toes getting numb
As the north wind howls
My warped history.
Allowing the north wind to
tickle my fancy.
relax into the
parallax as we shift to
xtreme chillaxin
costly to confuse
value of geography
with demography
breeze coinciding
with moon rise is harbinger
collision siren
Power not truth
fed violent joys
screened nonstop for girls and boys
maximum damage
the feckless famous
doing damage to us all
is just how they roll
Is being famous
for being fatuous worth
facetious facetime
Pine sap on the porch
is one thing, but get it on
Porsche? DIsaster
Pine Sap the picker
Famous for doing damage
With fine fingering
Money laundering
101. Brought to you by
Suspicious pardons
Education in profits
Rob the poor. Give to the rich
One third will vote wrong
One third will vote correctly
One third won't bother
All thumbs round a tree
Mittens the woodpecker was...
A beak performer
like a woodpecker
on a computer punch card
is how some folks vote
Trying to perfect
The perfect can pave the way
for time to reflect
international
extortion is one thing but
domestic grift hurts
So much to endure
Until the morning sun comes
Bumpy ride ahead
thought we taught the world
to sing in perfect harmony
but we were brewing
domestic nazi's instead
with morning in America
good old fashion greed
each moment apart
helps me focus on the ways
we were together
Being no one's fool
The skylark frets not the sleet
They migrate away
an exaltation
of the skylark become their
own creature apart
On the plus side
I no longer mainline
Twelve cups of coffee
First thing in the AM
As I've done for years
I now sip five cups
From a thermos mindfully
Not on any advice I've taken
But because I have chosen to
Makes me a whole different
Creature
What do you get
when you open
The White House doors
To organized crime?
This.
I quit quitting quite
a quotidian practice
quietly qualm free
don't waste your warm breath
to revive a cold dead carp
rotting in the bank
we're going out of business
while selling us his funny business
just like nobody's business
time to quit when the
warm breath of a cold carp chills
a fishy business
Early existentialist influence
Out in the schoolyard
During recess
The school bell in error
Would ring intermittently
The monitors told us to ignore it
So many of us climbed the fence
Hung on it
Shook it
Shouting
"Ain't got no meaning! "
