Yesterday

taking a short walk
into a long days vortex
to meet my long night

 

Dog days of summer
Ushered in by long spring days
Don't seem as long now



a controlled fall down 
earth's gravity well defines
how I walk about

alternating falls
in a controlled manner down
into planet earth's 
gravity well is the best
description of how I walk



is that a vortex
in your eyes or are you just 
happy to see me



Took the time to write
About a constellation
Of beauties in sight
My mystery achievement
Blissful hours spent tonight

Spray largess around
Flourishing on every self
Still no trickle down

Excuse for being
proud of my humbleness and
character flaws with
wanton whimsy because of
so much salt rubbed in life's wound

Yesterday

Once beyond the pale
Becomes the coin of the realm
Frenzied fiat force



fireflies recalled
chased around on summer nights
then they went away



the current regime
will fold spindle mutilate
to get it's own way

Yesterday

I love my wind chimes
I hate my neighbors wind chimes
My stuff and your shit


lift of life makes me
soar upon wings of desire
to swoop from above
down into beloved arms
that swaddle my poor sore soul


susurrus soar through
the corridors of my mind
where howls once echoed

Fatherly advice.
Go do something even if
it's wrong. Point taken.

James Joyce — 'Every bond is a bond to sorrow.'

A pinch of this a
dash of that plus a skosh of
whatever. Netflix.


opaque to many
to just as many it's clear
the rest pay no mind



primordial soup
a little dab'll do ya
greasy kid stuff spark 



Pinch both sides of path
Primordial Sun Flower
It's clear. Us or them

Yesterday

I keep my eyes shut
Reverse blink on occasion 
Surprises abound 

See who will blink first
Boon for big dry eye pharma
Call your broker now



He is a manufacturer of images 
And is very much removed from the truth - Plato


Have care packages 
A positive attitude
Hunting for goodwill 


Rip it to shreds 
Your intellectual pieces
Of hypothetical thesis

Since it's Father's Day
I'll be putting up a shelf
Crooked as I please

Yesterday

exposition makes
my eyes glaze over that's why
I do the haiku



when the whip comes down
every gash from the lash gives
laughs to Slash the Clown



Cardinal Fang to
Bishop Slash, "Let the dogma
glaze commence at once."



"Got em riled up good."
The Doyen told the Doyenne
"Time to slither out"

public and private
deeply imbedded in us
waste fraud and abuse

Night moves on cool grass
Til cops spotlight shone on us
Long ago hot night

Yesterday

seems like all the dark
in all the shadows wants to
spill out all at once



floating on a raft
of graft, war profiteers are
cashing in big time



red-winged black bird nests
fills the shoreline with joyous
distinctive bird song

The way of life is transformational 
Not exclusionary 

naked and displayed
murder primates of earth have
shed their human skin


He thinks Joseph Stalin was a good man.
Says he did some good things for the Chinese.

This is the sort of thing that makes one grateful for semi-consciousness

Yesterday

this ain't gunna be
no sprint, it's a cross country
long haul muddy slog 


mosquitos plotting
no more cold night genocide
electro warfare
activate the larvae guard
bug zapper suicide charge



Each choice. Each moment.
Molds a moment of its own.
Shape-shifting streaming.

Yesterday

Feel the cruel beat
Of loud war drums on the field
Don't lose the back beat



Breath of the tall grass
Lose yourself to the swaying



Lie in the tall grass
Watch dark smoke clouds roll on by
Duck and cover life



Goals are very clear
Fuel the magic mirror
Showing things to take
That other people make

whose job will it be
to scrape the remnants of
our constitution 
off military windscreen 
of it's short lived history



grounded corporeal
vessel on shopping mall reef
of consumerism

Yesterday

the natty flea flies
out without it’s overcoat
in a flea-brained flight

a fortuitous
well timed flip can make or break
societies yoke

I’ve noted that when
a conservative bangs on
about having #skin
in the game it’s always our
skin in their rigged corrupt game
