Oh anger Oh how there is

arson in the manger

and an inattentive spire of spite

spitting light

unkempt mannerisms of spurn,

burning bright.

One cannot detour

from the adornment of the dirge,

the herd of hungry hell bent

icons of Mammon

like slow breeding salmon

stopping the stream

karma is inaccessible until it occurs,

Everyone has a job

even your neighbor

Today however is

employee appreciation day

Wives chit chat,

husbands pitch horse shoes

Children circle the macaroni

salad anxious to dig in

A wasp circles around

the center of a picnic table

all alone, looking for work,

looking to start all over again.

My life didn’t have to be one grand vision or dream

It could have been like the splintering organic

expansion of a fractal, or sunlight born again through rain

the train has started moving -

on the news some guy says he surfed in on the tsunami as it came to shore

yet also reports that others died, maybe you can explain that to me

The blunder

of the landscapes design,

we applaud the yes men,

the nomenclature of the same,

the blame

too easily inundated when

we so remain

like our remains

boxed up and asunder

blanked out like bad memory

the maroon warmth of humanity

the sun rises like an apache

hovering broken shifting helices

of light and shadow,

The caged bird does not sing,

it does not even murmur

its beak laden w/ stillness

it lays head down, drooling

its way toward decay, laid out

against the newspapers typography

it has shit on all these years,

the words written on them unimportant

to those who captured its warbling.

God help us unanswer our compromise

The arched

byways of hope,

the awful

demeanor of good luck

gone away,

the circumference of change

unwarranted by limits or parameters

of order.  Isotopes of immovable

angles and incongruent borders

at which within we are contained.

The shorter a blade of grass

the more it has to grow

or the more it has been cut away.

The painted ( Read more... )

The sun is

a broach

broken amply

over an overhang

of earth and air

The twang

of keys brushing

the face of the sedan

Your hand

on the hot iron gate

of the lot where standing

The promenade

upward in ascension had begun

help me help me

me want me want me want

help wanted

want help just ask, life besotted

ask yourself

if you ( Read more... )

What does it mean to not yield?

Is it the same as

the abatement of error

when the register is bright red

loud and clear, roaring all systems go awry?

Though humility keeps us moving,

how I hear myself

being self critical or moral,

decides the next step from denial

which trial and truth tells us

is downright insubordination and

Dumb it down; decide on which side of sanity you are to be explained.

Wane yourself from the magnanimous scaffolding of the network -

premature and overbearing in its analysis of sound.

Make sense of the ground you walk on

and look her in the eyes when she needs you to

Its okay to enter upon uncertainty

Certainly thieves too are caught or ( Read more... )
