Press Release: 15 Mar 2018

My fellow Americans. A state of emergency currently exists in our country, brought about by the wholesale invasion of our sacred institutions by uncontrollable and reprehensible forces. The only solution available to us to protect our great nation against these irrational forces is to undertake the immediate construction of an impregnable physical and electronic barrier between our nation and the source of this incursion. Therefore, I order the United States Army Corps of Engineers to reallocate their construction budget in order to erect that physical and electronic barrier surrounding 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC with all due haste commencing immediately.

He Goes “All In” With A 7-High Hand!

He diverts the funds,

earmarked for a proven threat,

to prevent an empty one.

Are we supposed to guess

(Idiocy? Malignancy?)

the degree of his pathology?

“Come high or stay at home!”

That’s what the gamblers say.

if the man had paid attention,

he’d own Casino’s still, today.

Charity or Wisdom

Listen Up, you grey old goat!

Your racist ways are history.

Does that hate not sere your throat?

That grossly overt bigotry

never fails to offend

younger,

compassionate,

thoughtful men.

But since we’re here within this lodge,

I’ll try to muster up some grace,

abide the precepts of wiser men

and curb my urge to pulp your face.

I’ll maintain regard unconditional

despite your beliefs, so unlovable.

More Than Blood

It took many mothers

to make this meager man.

Caring, chastising, comforting in turn.

Mothers from many cultures.

Mothers from many continents.

Occidental, Oriental, African.

Mothers all,

transcending biology,

or logic,

or happenstance.

Mothering just because.

Joan

Busaba

Atlene

Strong gracious flowers

whom I hold in heart and regard.

Notwithstanding, lest we offend them,

What should the statute of limitations be

on gross insensitivity?

That answer depends, it’s plain to see

on who was insensitive; thee, or me!

Culture at a Crossroads

How ’bouts a little

truth, reconciliation,

and contrition folks?

On Zen And Cluster B

Cherish the assholes.

Their reprehensible acts

provide opportunities

for us to practice patience

and cultivate compassion.

Donald and Ralph

Unforgivable?

Ain’t that the blackguard calling

his pod mate black faced!

Katauta: Evening 13 Jan 2019

Delicate feathers

across azure firmament

drift; hues of pink and purple.

Calming Downtown Chaos

These river islands

Bound by many braided snyes:

Still urban refuge.

Masked

Behind bravado

Cowers insecure infant

Confidently clothed.

For A Fifty Something On His Birthday

Aging gracefully

Gazing down converging rails

Into trackless mists

Internal Locus Lost

What Narcissism!

Forgetting how to control

both temper and car,

he lays heavy on his horn

trying, vainly, to control

actions of other drivers.

His Master’s Voice?

They must think us dogs

salivating to their bells

doing tricks for tiny treats!

~

And how can they not

when we drool at every cue

playing games they tell us to?

~

Is there any choice?

After all, they hold the cards

and set the rules we must regard.

~

Why must we regard

their arbitrary edicts

when their only care

is their self-serving interests?

Bite the hands that feed, I say!

Ignore their strident bellows!

Exercise our every freedom!

Let us run across the meadows!
