this is what I’m talking about:
October 14, 2006
If you believe this is sure to happen:
Is peace – right now – your enemy?
let me put it another way
October 14, 2006
If you believe there can be no peace until the second coming, and that future war is predestined, and necessary, and there is nothing you can do about it – how can you truly work for peace? How can you put your heart and soul into building a world which is safe for any child – if you believe you are powerless? If you believe that reality is a function of magical forces. Forced conversion. Inexorable cataclysm.
As for me, I don’t need “experts” to interpret God’s plea made to all of us time and time again: LOVE THY NEIGHBOR…

I let down my guard
with Ella, Mel, and Dee Dee –
scat liberation!
the wood
October 13, 2006
routine commotion
throughout the woods
as raindrops enter
worlds end park
October 9, 2006
all eyes on the sky
this moon is a disco moon
campfires dancing
those we now call holy
October 2, 2006
those who truly touched the sublime
who walked in the Light
spoke only of
Love
Forgiveness
and Peace.
everything else you are told
everything else you read
are the manipulations
of men
armageddon oops
September 26, 2006
What if it all explodes,
the universe inside
pushed through
its fragile shell
overwhelming
all that exists
above the big hole.
What if bricks fly
like leaves in a hurricane,
cellos burn like straw,
fingers napalm
lips paper.
Will you hail the second coming?
he is a coward
September 18, 2006
he once stopped by
and promised to resolve
my shattered bones.
he dried my tears,
placed a candle in my heart,
but not a flame.
he proclaimed,
I will never abandon you.
then he left.
he left to have sex
with violence – like John Wayne
slapping a woman.
although he showed up again,
he never returned.
he is not a builder.
nine was was
September 11, 2006
It seemed a time of respect.
Skies were skies,
no chalky lines
of manufactured smoke,
only birds and clouds and flags.
Terrorism
was not yet entertainment.
Guns and cleavage
had temporarily disappeared from the screen.
Reflection and restraint
seemed a collective value.
Never to return,
we lived briefly
in the peaceful eye
of chaos.
