Taking what life throws at me one pitch at a time
off in the distance
what seemed to be the glimmer
of fireworks was
instead the unleashed fury
of hunter killer wrath drones
stopping for green lights
built for comfort not for speed
with nineteen eighties
ultra cool blue on the side
extra mellow fellow plate
willing to assist
teetering on tenterhooks
with those delicate
behind the back hooks and eyes
to receive my special treat
Future blends with past
Appreciate the blurring
Moment by moment
grounded our vessel
on a shopping mall reef of
excess consumption
price of admission
cost to survive belies the
myth of innocence
morning stare greeting
when I awoke you were there
turned into a glare
starts with tobacco
then weed, banana, eggplant
up in smoke blank stare
Quit when I told self
No need to inhale smoke
From ignited leaves
well placed tourniquet
may staunch national bleeding
but an infusion
of decency will refill
depleted levels of pride
schadenfreude days
current leadership takes time
to throw our nation
under the grinding wheels
on the bus of history
wriggling about in
homemade wormhole forever
forgot the timer
Civilizations
That hibernate in the sand
Tell tales we should heed
Reliving adventures with biscuit
Geezer and Geezerette joy 😂
Contrarian stand
Refuse to rotate my tires
I'll die on that hill
If you scooch over
I'll rotate just a little
We'll have something there
I know where to go
When feeling parched and lonely
Next morning more so
A librarian
Can be most contrarian
Because they read books
Karmic justice will
gestate in it's own time
No need to push it
Karmic justice will gestate
Eventually
Myth creates the caste
Idolatry glorifies
Selfish behavior
Over good for the many
With fictions in media
pine for the oak grove
harrow the yarrow hero
the marrow of myth
thought if I combine
this with that I'd get something
This is what I want
So I combine this with that
This is what I got
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
slim girl with braces
now countenance and carriage
today's Junoesque
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
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

tucked in a cosp of trees caws
