Shrink Wrap
If we were to scrape
the social glaucoma
what would be our fate?
Into what mess
would we stare
and what might
glance back, our way?
The milky curtain
that clouds
our everyday
is self congealed
with the body falling
in creative disarray
Shielding
the sensory
pathways
from what
is stored away.

Vital Words
My Muse tells me
I am good for you.
Like a vita pill of Creativity,
She sticks in the throat and
laughs at the captivity, until
with a choke, She's, spit up,
Then dances on pages with
spittle ink and blots herself
off to everything's disbelief:
as there sits the complete
drafted out Manuscript
almost within reach...
But I like to take my writing slow
Like a turn signal signaling what
I thought I only thought I'd heard
I like to take her words by surprise
at the corner of the eye with a nod
of understanding well after awhile
I like to bring the scenery in to me
like these cat tails still tilting while
I'm waving half way down the road
with this very sharpened pencil...
My Muse now dispersed dancing
to her sheet music as rehearsed
out of time floating on the wind
as tiny parachutes of dandy lion
too delicate to recollect as mine
make their notes in the currents
of the morning comfort tide...
I sigh... and She'll be back inside.

For the Résumé
So it's come down
to this...
we are plastic?
Disposable,
character actors,
circled, filed, labeled,
soon to be tied up in elastic,
taken out as
unrecyclable trash
on any given Sunday;
If this is the reel
that we are
casting 9 to 5
Then I too
am plunging under,
under the land, Mine;
To see what more fill
can be uncovered
for a flash forward
of understanding.

Dolbly
words we don't
speak aloud
will be read
somehow
a small idea
wormed to
inner ear
and turned
screwed the
brain in two
twisting the
entire frame
till It shone
as an adverb
through the
optic nerve,
the next verse
behold aye!
is voiced...
in monk's code
?

To the Wonderers
...may the open
road bend to you
like the overtures
of William Tell
With adventures
and as of yet
unmapped
troves of
treasure...
to be seared
upon the free ways
of communication
for others
to retrace,
when your dust
is settled...

Passing Through
At 30k above the Earth
I had no idea we could
see both sides of the
rainbow in complete
Circle...!
If we were to discover
the base of its Apex out
upon the canyon floor
what would be found
Below..?
The cumulation of all
Energy is spilling from
the edge of the horizon,
where I've checked my
belongings,
In the bubble of color
everything is looking
very hopeful and real,
Even to the eye of the
Needle...

CoExistance
How we cherish the Illusion
that the Head Honcho's
talking to ya?!
With neck pressed
upon the
choppin' block
it's really hard
to lookup,
Is it not?
But listen:
with your ear
right against
the surface:
What do you hear?
A million mysteries
confessing, just
like me...
professing
with insistence
the invaluable
totality of
Existence....

On The House
Life will soon enough
put the cork back
upon the wanton
bottle!
why not
Inebriate the Future?
...atone for Its far
too sobered Past.
The Holy Ghost
of Creativity will
indeed be passed
(Spirit to Spirit!)
And I propose,
a Toast to all Its
Most gracious Hosts.

Lucid Dreamer
When you awaken
from your slumber
I wonder
What spell will you
have been under?
From the stream
of sentience
all have drunk,
and seeped in,
as many flavors
while strolling
out across
sprightly
scented
corridors...
Yet no one knows
who made the punch,
So many cooks
in the kitchen
trumpeting
all at once!
None's too sure
of the ingredients
Pray...
what recipe
is floating,
and how will
we know
it is done?
