The hero ran along power lines Jumping fence to mail box Keeping pace with a particular car Where sat a boy watching him The boy would throw things up in the car Or, out the window Ignorant of his interest in relativity And time; he remained curious Growing older, but no more wise He now … Continue reading The Hero

Oh well or Orwell
Soft messages over time What tone we hear Louder yet Messages normalized Creating a story of oppression Waiting now Please don't come They can tell us anything From 2000 feet we are all the same To the "heroes" Any story made reasonable I'm hungry to know the Truth Inform the lies from my mouth How … Continue reading Oh well or Orwell
A Few Memories Upriver
"10-4" Hillbilly put down the CB Cliche Or memory I miss grandpa I know a wedge How it splits the timber Wedge is a different thing nowadays I know lunch break Sitting among the cedar Thinking how warm will be the fire Sword ferns brushed high On my childlike body Under the cedar canopy The … Continue reading A Few Memories Upriver

“Your Paranoid”
Paranoia that incisive term Meant to split your sanity Rising tension meant to disqualify Any reasonable discrimination "You must be unwell?"

2020
I can remember it like it was yesterday People marching in the street against violence Everyday yelling "We've had enough! Quit killing each other" "How do we love you?"

A-typritical Monkey
Fevers come upon paradise We shudder at the dawn If I translate, I hope I translate nice Love has it going on When one knows when to rest Sacred is the song A melody I seek to sing If only to do A creative mess, I admittedly shrink Seeking what is new Data not what … Continue reading A-typritical Monkey
