Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
such things cannot be
sufficiently despised is
the correct response
to corrupt actions taken
by despotic land grabbers
nineteen eighties greed
bonfire of the vanities
compared to today's
narcissistic avarice blaze
was a prescient flickering
Sealed maritime doom
For many wayward sailors

End morning mind defragmentation 08:34 AM
woke up after that
red red wine went you know where
broke my blue blue heart
So much ado
About bangs
About whimpers
In with a bang
Out with a whimper
Is still in
Is still out
Meanwhile
There will be bangs
There will be whimpers
a slip of the tongue
a nod and a wink and still
we are stuck with it
a slip of the tongue
exposed a nod and a wink
sold out in plain sight
With wine on our breath
We slip into old patterns
With but a whimper
Perfect recipe
To make the outrage cake rise
Is a touch of snark
Phrazez that Payzez
"Awash in a grand quantity of private torment "

why smear facts around
when rumors spread and flower
out of every crack
Daily Skiptrace
When focus is lost the whole world blurs into chaos
orientation
of the road means full blast force
when the north wind blow
profitable for
some to create problems that
you need defense from
there's a time to fight
then there's a time to take flight
timing must be right
The outside of a silhouette 🗣️ is where the real action happens
Toss a silhouette
On the cave wall. What's outside?
Track and hunt those beasts.
Seems like yesterday
We observed an equinox
Now a solstice comes
Juncos smack in the crisp cold
Dark eyes glitter in the snow
going from drastic
plastic to tragic tantric
tantrum terror plots
by bilious faux billionaires
serving sorrow by the sack
Dangling their bait lies
over mouths like Anglerfish.
Our Executives
The enemy of
our sanitary practice
Worf and his Cling-Ons.
Ewww 🫡
affection takes rust
off an old heart replacing
it with verdant growth
Time to face the fact
Social media is the
Antithesis of
Archaic admonishment
To mind your own damn business

A current affair
Goose-stepping towards Gomorrah
A kick in the pants
For a country once proud and free
All of it seen on TV
Later Hebrew prophets named the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah as adultery, pridefulness, and uncharitableness.

kick in the pants to
a country once proud and free
all of it seen on TVPicking pockets over the airwaves
Lifestyles of the rich and shameless
Displaying what everyone craves
Lives lived for the concealed nameless
Facades roiled up with foiled fear
To enhance their greezy fingered grip
Wrapped in a #wraith of wrathful sneer
Served up in intravenous media drip
Showing what corporations say we need
Just another televised American Screed

Dust storm hits my town
Something I've not seen before
Airborne field dirt wind
Watch nineteen thirties redux
Horrors replay before US
Time to release the potential promise within to kinetic kindness without. Detonate goodness all over all the place. Boom!

If it is yellow
When it comes to early frost
Don't ever eat it
Stretched out between two trees in a park, I lie supine in my multi colored net hammock. Gentle breeze and swaying motion, in the torrent of historic buffoonery. Fear, greed, and graft all playing out in plain sight. I've made my #matrix into my bed so I must lie in it too.
With one single look
I saw the coming rapture
We would soon capture
Glaring scarcity
Of cognitive clarity
Pains the world to see
snug in his own group
it might be said that crow got
lost in his murder
from the top on down
or from the bottom on up
stir it real good
gleefully passing
The Grip to those who haven't
gained immunity
Whispers in my ear
Passing butterfly advice
Don't float, bee the sting
when in the grip of
an existential crisis
best to just exist
memories flood the zone
while I try to convince myself
I've immunity from the past
another day another koan
take haiku down from the shelf
tasty tanka breaks the fast
a shot of poetry gets me through
immune until the next days brew
curl, potion, robin, unicycle, and bombast.
With reckless bombast, Robin rides a motorized unicycle. Crashing into a bowl to join a birdie bathing bacchanal, which Robin hadn’t been invited to. A party where illicit potions were being served that would curl their little dirty birdy feet.
Either I know to many words, or Wordle just accepts to many of my shot in the dark word guesses as real words
I opened my eyes
There were two shoes on the step
Put on my shoes
Went to work
There were no shoes on the step
After the accident
For many mornings
I opened my eyes
Put on my shoe
Took my crutches
Went to work
There was one shoe on the step
Everythings withered
For no additional gain
Long cold nights ahead
letting the day gain
purchase on my attention
as dreams slink away
Only my inner thoughts to watch
As I swaddle into an evening swatch
Although I may be bone dead tired
Dawns on withering conscious frame
With nothing to lose and all to gain
Additional input may be required
A frog on a log
Obsessed on a midair fly
Ribbit Ribbit (slurp)
Like a mosquito
Able to needle the thread
Up my baggy pants
Delivered an itchy bite
On a most indiscrete bit
