Ishin-denshin (以心伝心) ~ Wednesday, May 27, 2026

Her mystery eyes saw across the street emptiness, a figure, a man quite lost reality brought him to his senses maybe he felt her eyes focus a beat yes, it had been a long time, now but then stirring up the honey lowers the cost the value of sugar, see the fences each day, he secures them, a metaphor reality is not, but then again yes, the universe knows he is hungry exactly, how noticeable, even yes, from afar, a woman sees, angry except, not on the surface, calm in zen suffering and full of sorrow, no more say less, say no more, say nothing at all answers to his prayers as an atheist words, pejorative, dusty, little birds answers to her prayers, believe in the small creation of the universe, he waves his hand reality waves back, picks up the slack over the short expanse of the asphalt suffer the little children, broken wrist slide the razor blade up the arm, no words theater is without bad faith, no fault how accidents and divorce shape the land except how d...

Humanity i hate you ~ Tuesday, May 26, 2026

I knew one day this day (would) come, Harlem I am not a prophet of bad conscience kingdom come, will be done on earth, heaven nods off, listens to jazz, Sonny Rollins end of an era, our correspondence wanes after death, A Great Day in Harlem on a day like this, natural, seven no one knows when their time will come, who wins everyone cries for what reason, for tears decide our fate, our emotions, the gem aspires to rise above but falls down yes, away but to where, move on, we pass theatrical, this life, upside-down frown how a legacy born, lets go, en masse in time, we recognize our loss, our fears stuck on a blue note, bent without purpose decision-making swayed by emotions asinine as a donkey brays, defeat yes, death wins, without sense, sit on the bus wait, why are we stranded, sit on the fence only God knows nothing is uneven unless we cleansed the doors of all our sins lifted the burden weight, nothing more dense deafening blows, a child pulls at my hem cons...

Aspire to Reveal by Example ~ Sunday, May 24, 2026

For Johann Gonzalez You will want to agree to disagree only, I will take the high road and leave understanding principled behavior will get you nowhere in business, you see if you choose to follow and to listen leave me well alone, then, I want to grieve life surrounded by others, nothing more want to make a bet, the genius in art answers to the senseless, blissful in zen nothing but nothingness to understand transmit on the wireless telegraph tormented by my brother, blur the hand observe the past, like a film, have a laugh agree to disagree, lies, you old fart given life is nasty, brutish and short remember, defense mechanisms guide each person in the world, in their choices enter humanity, best to abort to imagine everywhere poverty observe billionaires without any pride distant intergalactic stars, voices invented by science for industry science explains what my auntie Gertie aspired to reveal by example given the mystery in platitudes realize they tell li...

Some poems come easier than others ~ Sunday, May 24, 2026

For someone with a contemplative mind observe the past with attention to pain relationships arise to analyze such as when others get to share their time observe past events with a rueful eye maybe time shared was full of shame and blame each to their own, jealousy, a disguise observe emotions as ephemeral nothing more than fleeting winds in the sky each to their own, attach only to clouds witness majestic beauty in vistas if proximity details and enshrouds the grandeur of sites seen at a distance honor and cherish the gifts that seem small ask the woman on the mountain how snow covers the area in a blanket observe how and why she lives in a cave notions of right and wrong both come and go templates of the real world just disappear events become less meaningful, regret marks each moment with loss, things not to save perhaps, to understand a bird in flight language becomes a game found within fear as communication is key, unlock time as a door, as a portal, a hole...

I should have known this day would come, too soon ~ Saturday, May 23, 2026

Say goodbye to my sassy cat, she came after my girlfriend and I met, she stayed yes, both of them, for sixteen years, she left good girl, little sweetie tabby, she got old, her teeth rotten, an abscess, she won over her old man, her papa, she made deals with the Devil to protect, she taught by example, her hiss and growl, she kept yes, everyone in check, feisty, she knew everyone lives in fear, this day, she said telepathically to my brain, she spoke only to me, as if I knew, she saw my eyes, full of love and sorrow, she cried yes, a pathetic mew, so soft, she died sassy, little feral half-pint, she loved a broken man, full of mistakes, she snuck secretively, into my heart, she weaved suffering in a tapestry, she ate yesterday after yesterday, she gained capital as an investor, she earned advantage over other cats, she screamed to catch my attention, my ears, she burned silently, as the Growltiger, she sneezed horribly, as she got older, she slept each night, ne...

The Shadow of the Whip ~ Friday, May 22, 2026

If I found the secret to happiness If ever, as if, I could find, once lost found discarded, in the open, treasure I am a dreamer, over the rainbow foundling orphan, wishful thinking, the cost of the price of admission, to belong under the banner, the flag of pleasure nothing I would ever know of, to grow depressed, diminished by the past, downcast the secret to happiness, to be strong however right or wrong, my intentions enter the fray of battle, nerves on edge secrets, behind closed doors, interventions each more brutal than the last, on the ledge cast a look down, remember, life moves fast realize, I will never be so light ever so light, to skip like a young girl to see her long hair bounce in the night air to happiness, I toast my friends, I fight only tears, an old crab full of sorrow happiness ephemeral as a pearl as fleeting as friendships, nothing as fair perhaps as change itself, as time unfolds perhaps, I am a curmudgeon, Sparrow if Little Bird, in a w...

Lady Day ~ Friday, May 22, 2026

How not to be, cool Heavens to Murgatroyd, Snagglepuss says ol' skool, Yogi Bear Show, so long ago whoa, say less, Puma pink, Speedcat OG no way, original gangster, unfazed orbits within elliptical circles tonal deafness, Mos Def says, Thar she blows totally cool, Valley Girl, she OD overdose, close but no cigar, horseshoes better hand grenades, overcome hurdles endless obstacles, Gaṇeśa removes coolsticks with angel dust, PCP flies observe how many dance in vinyl grooves on the head of a pin, medieval skies liquid sunshine dazzle, she sings the blues
