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

What Is the Case ~ Friday, May 22, 2026

Ars longa, vita brevis Art, as Kos says, is long, and life is short remember, swear an oath to do no harm swear on the grave of your mother, brother liquid sunshine dazzles an aorta obviously, the visual cortex nothing but the devil in the machine give it some thought, this is about a death as long as you see the fire alarm view it as if you would see the other in the afterlife, after their last breath take a moment to breathe, see the Codex as if God and the Devil were obscene believe nothing but lies they teach in school remember, the hidden, the truth they hide externally, we see what is given view the coffin, the corpse inside, so cool indeed, to touch, to kiss goodbye, my bride such is life, such is fate, unforgiven

Boredom ~ Wednesday, May 20, 2026

This extravagant journey, we take, soon That anyone, I know, I know, on board has misgivings, reservations, boredom in a word, in this world full of beauty so much to offer each person, so bored extra extra, read all about it, no xénoi to the meaning, to the kingdom trust in the gods, or God, as our duty relax, I know, I know, while on this ship as you see it, you are in the big show views differ in this respect, this planet as a magical unicorn, offers gifts abundant to inhabitants, bet as soon as we question our place, coffers not sunken but buried, get hip, get hip turn up with the turnips, the beets, deep red just as before, everything is right here on this extravagant journey, we pay until we die, we earn money, make bread rhubarb starter, the sourdough mother now everyone has a mother, I fear everyone born lives with no voice to say yes or no, or maybe, or maybe not wonders all around, yet all are other everyone, a stranger, in the same boat take a momen...
