In the Shadow of the Tower
A ball of white light blasts outward. A man pulls his body upwards. All his energy exhausted. His singularity invested. There are people that don’t understand The investment that has been given. There is a city, a world, a universe That has been growing version by version. Like sleeve tattoos recycled among its own Shaped […]
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 […]
Spoken and Forgiven
As the words find you Remember where you were. What conversations you had Sharing the title of the books of past. When you repeat your prayers Remember the power of the layers Of time pressed and passed. From one’s lips to another mind Where words have grown the divine. As the words find you Pen […]
Don’t ask don’t tell can go to hell.
Don’t ask don’t tell can go to hell. For making people lie to each other. For not allowing us all to feel like brothers No matter what sexual orientation. As we fought for human rights and liberation. For all the money spent on its misconception. For making others feel less than equal. As if, what […]
Without A Sound
The grid went down without a sound. Everyone knew it was coming. The cyberwar had been churning as Americans continued to shop. Stuffing their stockings. Making their lists and checking them twice. Trying to act as if they were naughty or nice. When Amazon went down, it was well known. No more online shopping could […]
The Land of the Free
So you want to talk about revolution. A possible solution. Wherever you are. Twitter, Facebook, in cafes and bars. Wearing a mask as you close down sites. Amassing together as you start global fights. The dirty laundry of politicians have now been shown. They are human and smell badly just like your own. They stay […]
He Will Drink Hemlock
the war will be silent. global citizen dissidents against information being suppressed. no more silencing the innocent. data will flow freely online. this is our voice and time. our technology a tool to enable me and you to stand up for human rights. to topple corporation’s might. an example has been made for others to […]
Burn this motherfucker down and howl like a deranged dingo
They are upright but should walk on all fours. They dress in their painted on jeans and t-shirts torn. Fed through vegan veggie wraps, wearing their tattooed sleeveless straps. Some are tan and few are clean. Most unshaven and all should be unseen. To not come out in public and maybe that is what they […]
Frozen and Thawed
I see 23 A dozen times a day. The more at peace the more I see. I am a man with a mask stumbling astray. His face too scarred for people to see. His arm too limp to use freely. Who sees his reality Frozen and thawed From the outside looking in. I wonder if […]
I Am Your Calling
Like a string inside a turkey carcass Its wings wrapped so it can’t fly. The light within now dark. Nothing new to get by. This light will brighten up the world. This is your passion, your internal pearl. It is calling you from deep inside. No matter what you do to lie. That light can never […]
A New Tradition
and then there was the vegan Thanksgiving, a new tradition. where people from all over came ready and willing. to share. to learn. to think of the future. to be thankful of the earth and their bodies, while saying the blessing and sharing their lunch. a feast was set out before our eyes. not one animal […]
I will remember Kyle
I will remember Kyle. He worked down the hall. I didn’t get to know him. Now he has passed. Killed by a tragic plane crash. Four young victims’ lives now a broken hour glass. I will remember Kyle. His death has made me think about life. How easily it can pass. How I’d like it to […]
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. […]
True Value
I am American.
my family once owned and operated a store.
my dad fought in the Korean War.
Born in Blood
Dexter, Dahmer, Columbine and Virginia Tech. Serial killers. Spree killers. First person shooters. Born in blood. Blood soaked deep. Watching Thriller. The empire thirsts for products. Outsourced for the benefit of the many. We breed violence. We breed war. Making terrorists by creating the poor. We are a sponge to this culture. We curse it then […]
Wedding Vows
these words will find their place.
a space between the beats
replete with distance and sync
Right Here. Right Now.
as we live on top of each other four to a room i think of the homeless with no place for their head. no manger or floor to call their bed. as i sleep on this air mattress i think of the world floating in my dreams with my body curled. i write these words to […]
Weebble Wobbles Falling Down
politics and the grit. the dirt in my teeth. the miles of junk food i did eat. i am a survivor of canned food and microwavable dinners. which did not win me years. memory masking the toxins inside. no fame here. just one lame duck citizen. bred to be non-effective. the poisons are everywhere inside […]
