Nobel Peace Prize Winner / War Criminal

No one knew, they gave the Nobel Peace Prize
of course, to ... of all the worthy people
but why ... why him ... of course, I know ... but no
everyone shakes their heads ... apologize
listen, with no future ... and history ...

Problems of a first-world leader ... steeple
echoes the bells in the tower ... and lo
as I walk to the train station, I think
certain everyone knows just how gory
events in the Middle East must be ... not

Perhaps they made a mistake ... but Dylan
right, and not Philip Roth ... then he died ... caught
in a conundrum ... a pickle ... villain
zebra in an orange jumpsuit ... no, pink
empty the dark sky of stars ... entropy

Women and children first, Minab ... witness
in his lifetime ... all apologies ... ha!
nothing of the sort ... not a word ... soapy
nevermore slippery ... to catch a thief
everyone looks to find ... unfit fitness
rfk, junior exemplifies ... caw!

World-weary traveler ... observe the war
as if to participate ... observe grief
remind Jesus, He died for our sins ... blow

Cock Popsicles ... little roosters ... that prick
reality like balloons ... come and go
inside the cave ... guano and bats ... that stick
murderously under the soles ... how far
in one lifetime can a person descend
nothing but bad conscience, bad faith and lies
as if a human being, in disguise
lifts people up as old sherpas ascend

What Is It Worth, a Dog's Life: A Triptych ~ Friday, November 7, 2025

These brown eyes observe changes at times strange honestly, inside this head, distractions empty bowls, food and water, eat and drink simple needs, as I wait inside the grange eager to please, to be fed, and to sleep barking, I like to bark, their reactions result in the dog house, left here to think only, I cannot think, cannot look back will they ever learn, must not make a peep never will I not bark at the squirrel except this behavior does me no good yes, I cannot think, I will not quarrel except I bark and growl and snarl, no food save a field mouse or a stray cat, attack --- observe the world from the head of a dog brown eyes, expressive as an ape, old soul silence is golden but my dog has mange empty bowls teach him a lesson, the bog remains to resolve all issues in life versions of the truth, what is the prime goal emptiness is loving-kindness, how strange challenged people cannot see their own mind how the teachings walk the edge of a knife answer all th...

Bombyx mori ~ Thursday, June 26, 2025

Will I ever be able to get out in a deep hole, unbearable pressure left alone, left to die, I fell down deep left to die, all alone without a doubt I fell down a deep hole, everything falls even if I retrieve sunken treasure visions of the sun make me fall asleep even if this world is a dream, this hole remains a metaphor, down here, the walls build up as I sink further down in debt enter the Mariana Trench, alone all alone, left to die by myself, bet butter is sweet, if I were left a bone left a bone to nibble on, if I stole enter the depths of hell, lonely, silent trouble with metaphors, they seem so real of course, I am pouring milk into milk given the world, thrown into roles, hell-bent each day to stay above water, I feel too much, Bombyx mori , I produce silk over and done, kicked out, homeless, I spent underneath overpasses, as to steal the money back, to die, and thus, to bilk if I could pay it back, every last cent no one but myself to pat, to unseal a...
