Defeating Strangers
I think of my own neighborhood, how people do not know each other. How quickly we go out to get our garbage can. As we nod our heads briefly so that we might understand, that there is something more important going on inside, than to chat. Maybe a pot of something boiling for a recipe. ...
Neighbor
If you listen, you will hear cries Of a world becoming desensitized To the tragedy of tomorrow Bombs blowing up Buildings falling down Shootings in schools Children stolen and abused The slaughter of innocents In another country prevents Us from taking any stand How can we make a difference When the world watches it all ...
Waiting to be Led
It is the phone that dehumanizes. Through distance. The one who answers. Their lack of empathy The voice message menu. The voice recognition. The wanting to talk to a human. To not be delayed. To feel that you are important enough to answer. That you are not a number. That your records can be reviewed. ...
My Cyclone
Toxins in the food. In the water. In the air. Genes modified to adapt to this fair. Born in to me a mental exhaustion. Creating in me a major depression. I have had it for years. And all the thoughts that go with it. On the rollercoaster of life I ride. A continuous dwelling machine ...
Byron King Plays Souls and Gold
Some people speak softly and suppress their opinions. Poet Byron King is not one of those people. “We have to quit screwing around. We have to get back to basics, back to spiritual investments and dreaming big-really big. Great countries invest in creativity and in collective consciousness, both byproducts of the human soul,” he says. In ...
A Happy Song
I am happy. I am happy. I take my pills and auto-sync With a world on the brink. I am happy. I am happy. I say this to not think About the poison that I drink. I am happy. I am happy. I watch sports and do not blink. If my team loses I will ...
Meditation on Happiness
Happiness appears without a trace Like bullets shot through a human’s face. Velocity and trajectory tell how long That smile will stay and belong. Happiness does not dwell on the news. It does not focus on psychotics and distorted views. It does not worry about cold weather. Or the political games that last forever. Happiness ...
tis the season
tis the season to get in one’s car. meet all one’s friends at the local bar. get drunk off one’s ass. try not to drive very far. tis the season to bite one’s lip. sitting with family as you hear a short quip. to think of all the baggage we carry. that weight we need ...
The Practice
To feel one’s feet. The space between one’s meat. To find one’s balance. The symmetry that is substance. To extend one’s back. The spine inside intact. To open one’s lungs. The air inside unsung. To have one’s joints torn apart. The re-alignment gained, a new start. To know one’s body again. The spaces between friends. ...

I was lost but now I’m found…
I believe again. Men did walk on the moon. The science was legit. No hoax by our government. I saw the rocket that propelled Man out of earth’s orbit. Shot us to our satellite As man looked down in delight. I believe again. That conspiracy does not rule. That thousands did not tie Their tongues ...
While Eating Our Breakfast
Philosophy teaches us. Unsettles us. With what we already know. It works by remixing what you know And makes it strange. Philosophy estranges us from the familiar. Providing and provoking a new way of thinking. Once the familiar becomes strange You are never again the same. Self-knowledge can never become unknown. Political philosophy is a ...

Ode to Googlebot
Checking the site meter. That’s me, watching me. Looking for you, to read. That hour long visit was from my best friend. His name is Googlebot and he’s made of tin. The life of an artist is desolate and lonely. Putting out feelers to the world is my only. Connection outside of these walls. Outside ...
Drowning from Above
a light bearing down from above. water with light not love. filled with sand and earth. gushing from the cavern to search. your body and lungs and all you are. what you are made of. your soul. your desires. your internal fires. what desires are left undone? what was your dream and plan? what is ...
