The Daily Dread

so much happening 
nothing said seems to ring true
wary world watches


aristocracy
#progenitor spirit champs
the bit for over
a hundred years seizing this
moment to shackle us all


The fearful fox watched
Picnic proceedings for scraps
After dark pickings


progenitor fear
loud ring in our ears warns this
won't be no picnic

When I was very young I received a rubber band powered propeller plane. Not the cheap balsa wood models, but a smaller, lighter design. A light frame covered with very colorful cloth. I remember it as blue, orange, and yellow. After assembly I took it in the yard for its first flight. It soars and flies beautifully right through the open ventilation window under our back porch. The place where lumber, ladders, and spare building materials for my father's ever ongoing house repairs and unfinished renovations. I never found the plane; even when years later I cleaned that area out. From time to time I would search again and again. Where did it go? I still wonder to this day.

The Daily Dread

when the liminal
becomes the subcarrier
signal waves bye-bye



as the earth leans in
cry not for shrinking daylight
embrace the darkness


Tipped on its axis
The drunk world slurs it's solstice
Planetary binge
Celestial power drinking
Earth wobbles out of control

The Daily Dread

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

The Daily Dread

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

I thought parks were made for loitering?

The Daily Dread

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

The Daily Dread

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

The Daily Dread

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.

The Daily Dread

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

A bench in a park with budding trees
A pleasant place to sit
