Finish your dinner
There are children starving

That was mom's refrain
Card carrying member
Of Depression Era
Clean plate club

Pick the country du jour
There were hungry people
There are hungry people
Getting hungrier
Very soon
Getting hangry
And hangrier 

Sure aid measures
Are stop gap
Now we will see 
When we stop 
Stopping the gap
Around the world
And here at home

I was lucky then
I am lucky now
But as the prospectus states
Past performance 
Is no guarantee
Of future performance
One of life's fine print
Little disclaimers
RDP Sunday: hungry

Yesterday

Tesla's little deviant
Syncopation psychopath
Wishing to be relevant
Gains wannabe sovereign's wrath
Sycophants all in a row
Play red rover red rover
Send those that wish to not know
On their bellies on over
Two reptilian factions
Plotting their next reactions





Spend time to arrange
Things I want to be just so
Stay flexible though




when the day is done
alone in our own abode
languid uncover



Phrazez that Payzez

Build the enemy you want 
Where has all the karma gone

a sentient bean
am I and will keep being
one until I'm not

I spent a decade
As a deviant savant
May not be pretty
But it was consensual 
Plus a whole lotta love fun

survival tactics
have to hide all your feelings
have to hide your wounds



seek savant sources
backassward news feed hide truth 
from the hoi polloi



There is no such thing
As too cold for a cookout
Winter Weber ribs

Yesterday

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

I practice weaving
Words into fine taffeta 
Ends up as denim 



felt so right last night
why not do it one more time
practice makes perfect




Everytime I cut
Grass it's a first draft. Next week
I'll do it over



Republican speak
Preemptive obfuscation 
On public display 

Faith's dark twin
Illusion
Know Your Enemy

Yesterday

up in the castle
self appointed lords plot ways
to rook the poors more



not at the same time
there can be pasture or trees
the yin or the yang


Cast unto the net
Another blurb for the blog
Oh fiddle-de-dee
Tanka falettinme be mice
Elf agin haiku for U 

(RIP Sly Stone) 😥

rook in a pasture 
tucked in a cosp of trees caws 
something for the blog

Yesterday

The wedding reception 
Was a messy affair
One of the bridesmaids
Nearly strangled herself
Under a banquet table
In the cummerbund 
Of one of the groomsmen 
Oh the passions aroused
By nuptials in the young



My glasses are on
There's no need for you to yell
I hear you just fine




Mornings I'm adrift
On a cloud sea of pea soup
Still no land in sight



a better world would
have more Namaste and less
mine mine mine mine mine


What loneliness is more lonely than distrust - George Elliott

Quagmire stage show
Miasma for the many
Misanthropic mire 



Savory Siren
Mistress of the #masala
Serves her earthy blend



All a monster needs
A drizzle of lightning charge
Pull the switch Igor!


will magic rush of
manipulative kindness
Keep us all silent
