Reptiles,
we eat
the embryos of others.

But fuck not!
with ours.

I am pleased to announce Mr. Hussein has agreed to comprehensive oversight by the United Nations and disarmament (if needed). This will allow us to to focus on addressing terror worldwide.   It can also move us closer to enduring positive peace.

shadows emerge
we take flight

we take flight

we forever
take flight

from one moment
to the next

we take flight

until –

we are willing
to die

to stand
our ground

not waver
nor blink

stand our ground

and be swatted.

Freddie’s dead,
whatever
dead is.

Amen to this
brother
in jazz
and life
who ground his horn
on the edge.

On the Outside Looking In

December 21, 2008

You never look
at me.
I often look
at you.

You have
those things
I am told
bring happiness.

I have
those things
I am told
bring shame.

I look into
your restaurant –

you spend
my week’s wages
in a night

so elegant
so white

table cloths
and candles
fine wine
and waiters.

I could go on
and on,

but I have been ordered
to move along…

Let it Snow

tonight we huddle –
crackling fire gives forth
all we will need

December 5, 2008

peace is a choice
do not wait for one’s embrace
be the embracer
