Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
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
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

rook in a pasture
tucked in a cosp of trees caws
something for the blog
Many years ago
I packed up all my troubles
In an old kit bag
It was too heavy for me
So left it on the roadside
I feel terrible
Not only for littering
But for who finds it
I bet they thought it was cash
Woe and misery instead
pondering at the
precipice of my palate
balsamic balance
savory and sweet linger
with trace memories of her
Sometimes I do five
Just to keep the algorithm
Slightly off balance
I said nobody
Puts ambient dread powder
In a cardboard box
It comes in plastic baggies
The good old nickel bag dread
What's going on here
Ain't no Boxer Rebellion
More of a greedy
Botox grifter power play
Grabbing more bloat with our bucks
haiku pebbles fall
like rain on the upside down
online lake of void
so what makes me go
heel to toe heel to toe that
magic makes it so
Kingfisher bragged that
"We're going to be so rich."
He didn't mean you
Equinox balance
Caress the wild within you
Always cedes valence
Wasted too much time
To rehearse conversations
That never happened

I remember everything
I may not remember them correctly.
But I remember
the ideal plum
for me is downloaded in
wrinkly prune format
With a great big yawn
If it ain't broke don't fix it
Is it nap time yet?
allegiance to a
floating crap game with loaded
dice and marked cards
will not a patriot make
floating crap game played
with loaded dice while dealing
out marked poker cards
not an easy allegiance
for a patriot to make
Where money is charged
Profiteers keep opaque what
Species go extinct

I guess I was just born
A little bit out of control - Dave Allen
The abyss between
Objective reality
And their perception
Devours all the safe space
Leaves all the evil behind
a very clear sign
that the barn door is open
cold draft on cherries 🍒
Nibble and a sip.
On your person. In your bag.
I could count on yum.
You can't judge a fish by its packaging.I bought some wild caught cod at the Jewels. Got it home and when I took it out of the shopping bag I noticed an off smell. Put it in the fridge and it made the fridge smell funky. Went back and forth whether to pitch it or not. Put it into a paper bag and took a walk. Decided that when I took it out of it's packaging I would give it one more sniff test. Out of it's sealed package it no longer stunk. So I gave it the instant pot pressure steam and it was delicious. I am writing this to remind myself if I get sick or keel over I was wrong. 06/28/2024
I like to turn off the window AC unit early mornings so I can give my tinnitus whispering the full attention it has earned. 🔔👂🔔

Oh blinding light
Oh light that blinds

I whistled that tune right before a young gentleman walking while staring at his phone nearly bashed into me. Got his attention and disaster was averted 😁
You were my first draft
Left glorious and unscathed
That was our #moment
Then the real world rushed in
Forcing revisions on us
Before it's too late
Send for ale and fresh horses
Siege necessities
plastic surgery
botox filler fakery
like peas in a pod
You became my poetry
Fortuitously or ill-fated
Left glorious and unscathed
You were only my first draft
The time it takes to
Send the moment to my brain
Seems to take longer
nothing more useless
than unasked for advice, won't
listen or follow
Profound formula
X-rays times Y-rays equal
Ludicrous thought rays
Empathy fuel low
My burn rate of G A F
Might just be maxed out
Then I read the daily spews
Outrage needle pegged again
vagary garden
whatever I can forage
from trellis and ground
tossed in a pot set to stew
only I can burn the soup
Pandora's Box was
hidden in a safe under
the base of the place
called Utopia; but still
it was found by the humans
Idolater words
Clever translation trellis
Swimming in a stew
A mass vagary mélange
Unclean aspic mysteries
Phrazez that Payzez
The free rider populates both ends of a societal spectrum
It's the ones in the middle that do all the work
I write small poems
While next to me on the couch
World's thrashing around
In night sweat terror detox
Reality withdrawal
What a button does
Can never really be known
Until you press it
Perched on the next stool
This enigma seemed to me
A shade too cozy
Proceeded to press buttons
That had long been left unpushed
Phrazez that Payzez
Which one of youse got their stardust in my pixie dust?
A murder of crows
A scavenging of seagulls
More than just a flock
