A Purpose Driven Life?
When one’s life devolves,
becomes a vehicle for
one’s medications, then what?

Dude! Sudafed’s got
places to go, people meet,
and Big Pharma’s bills to pay!

Inarticulate
Consumed by seething fury
Best to say nothing

Weathering the storm,
premature cherry blossoms
still continue to bring joy.
Open Invitation
She looks forlornly
upon browned and fallow fields
from with her grey confines.

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.

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.

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.

Unforgivable?
Ain’t that the blackguard calling
his pod mate black faced!

Delicate feathers
across azure firmament
drift; hues of pink and purple.
