diet, excercise
but regimen can't stop planes
with your name on it

polvo mas fino
que mis lagrimas mueven
en mi corazon

beach jogger struck by
plane making emergency
landing...bad luck?...fate?

brazen thuggery
the gangstas of Wall St. with
delusions of right

amoral climate
they reap/rape bonuses all
the while Rome burns

dentist subbed paper
clips in lieu of steel posts for
root canals..for real!!!

Ping Ping is dead all
twenty-six inches of him
now three feet under

eighty-three year old
breaks nose/ribs of ninety-nine
year old.."Now, now boys!"

forgotten berries
within prickly-sheltered boughs
bleed to earth's embrace

forgotten berries
within prickly sheltered bows
bleed to earth's embrace

a wise man once said:
"beauty is...the beginning
of terror."

provoke the silence
listen to its melody
let it guide you home

folly is the mind
constructed like a prison;
silent we must keep..

uninvited guest
flood waters lap at neighbors'
doorway and enter

uninvited guest
flood waters lap at neighbors doorway and enter

once lazy river
now swollen and angry a
roiling behemoth

stomach aches so much
burrito too big for me
suck on that and suck this bitch

attached at the hip
she posited but at love's
end...separate paths

he fed the monster
and watched it grow from doubt to
absolute terror

I have heard many
things about "the end" and we
feed fears on those thoughts

Each Ten Thousand Years
The Earth switches Poles North South
We are due one Now!

Whilst this happens Earths magnetic protection will disappear until it settles. You had better pray that we do not get many Solar flairs or Mankind will be wiped out by Radiation. Now that's something for Homeland Security to Panic about.

Vicks vapor rub...cloth
of flannel and mom's soothing
touch..comforting me

is it me or does
Mother Earth's tremors appear
to be increasing

Latin phrases tossed
into haiku salad add
zest flavorings

Latin word that means
Bought back or revisited
That word is "Redux"

plastic lightsabers
flights into space, us vs the
Death Star and vader

sticks for rifles and
cardboard box forts voila
old western redux

I hope we all get
back that love of making new
things, remembering play

childrens' art adorns
exhibit walls 'midst budding
artists proud beaming

unified against
"a common foe" when one could
just keep writing words

the danger is of
course thinking that a person
does not change but stays

drink quietly the
murderous baboon paces
with bad intentions

haiku water hole
attracts all gods' creatures from
benign to troubled breeds

Oh Hell. Black Sheep's back
Reams of self pity and insults
Prepare to skip past.

I will see this place
as the place I express my
dark side in total

frustration when I
began years ago on a high
of spiritual grace

some have contempt for
my thoughts and I want to beat
them in the head for

their censoring snobbish
narrow minded little minds
their liberal push outs

who cares who will care
the years have come and gone and
some can fuck themselves

can you help but think:
"how can one contemplate all?"
yet, before the fall

tender buds peeking
through an icy glaze seeking
solace from above

spirits lifted by
degrees as equinox looms
on the horizon

now he understood
why recorders were banned from
the lecture center

frumpish professor's
meandering discourse like
he's speaking in tongues

let there be love and
hate like the heads or tails that
flip and fall like leaves

Better to have loved.
No matter the cost or pain.
Far better than not.

life is connection
and disconnection but in
unity find peace

gratitude sprouts from
seeds sown by heartfelt
sharing and knowing

wake at four am
And get to bed at Midnight
for those five long years

Until i collapsed and had a stroke from Exhaustion.

Nothing can I know.
nursed my wife for five long years
Early Dementia

She was 42 when it started.
But life still goes on.
the Birds still sing, the sun shines
So endure we must

tetter-tottering
on point of when it's time for
ye olde nursing home

in throes of elder
care/dementia platitudes
don't ease the burden

Death is not the end
Nor life the sole existence
Eternity calls.

Nothing disappears
Just evolves to something else
Like rebirth of Stars
