Only then will I be safe
July 11, 2017
Hopefully someday –
there will be a camera
on each square of this earth
from back country meadows
to the underside of every dock.
Hopefully someday –
a secure fence will surround
and protect our country
running south of Manhattan
and returning from the north.
Only then can i feel safe.
Only then should they bring back our liberties.

To have no care of wrong or right
July 10, 2017
To have no care of wrong or right
have no thoughts but decree,
soar and see as a hawk in flight.
Fly from dark into light
hold no sense of history
to have no care of wrong or right.
Wire your brain to plumes that fright,
know only what you need to be;
soar and see as a hawk in flight.
See the red as black and white,
kill then eat the flesh, be free
to have no care of wrong or right.
Practice not duty nor requite.
Call hemic cries of victory.
Soar and see as a hawk in flight.
Have no pretense but your might
Take no knowledge from the tree.
To have no care of wrong or right,
soar and see as a hawk in flight.

diamonds within
July 6, 2017
i gaze into
encrusted skies
above
half moon
pond
diamonds
rippling in
the liquid.
how can
i know
beyond.
this sky feels
like home
the air
long ago
beckon
me on
and on.
armageddon oops
July 6, 2017
What if it all explodes,
the universe inside
punches through
overwhelming
all existence
above the breach.
What if bricks fly
as leaves in a firestorm,
cellos burn like straw,
fingers napalm
lips like paper.
Will you hail the second coming?
Buddy knows first
July 5, 2017
He leaps
from the couch
and growls at the sky.
Then looks back at me
to say goodbye.
Soon come the winds
straight from hell
all we can do
is bark and yell.
The Earth is an ember
our spirits release,
another failed planet
another failed peace.
Render freedom irrelevant
July 4, 2017
Keep the masses
occupied –
celebrity
focused.
Feed them
must see
must hear
must play
must have
content.
Imply jobs
are supposed
to suck.
Escape!
Consume!
Normalize
EXCESS,
call it
life’s GOAL.
Believe it
uncool
unpatriotic
to think
otherwise.
The spiritual revolution may come too late
July 1, 2017
just as saying “I love you”
or “I’m sorry”
may come too late –
while slipping out of this life
on your back
mute and alone
surrounded by strangers.
The Purpose of Life

To Make No Waves
the moon! is your logo…not McDonald’s
June 21, 2017
there is no place
quite like the other
each valley
each plain
each mountain
each plateau
each
with its own
land forms
life forms
weather
and light
encased in a shared
halo of air
we are binding this earth in asphalt.
binding
and branding
we block the night sky
with our signs.
from
above
we look
like fire
