A Scroll Threw Life

  • To name a thing is
    To know a thing is nothing
    To think about names
  • Penciling some prose
    By lamplight in my garret
    Teenage evening flow
  • The Sentient Bean
    My morning fine grind coffee
    Makes me extra woke

  • Sometimes when riffing
    Between high notes and low notes
    We need a grace note

  • Old folks dance party
    Lost gossamer lunar light
    Spinning new moon rave
  • Enriching others
    Life bargain to stack more stuff
    On top of your stuff








  •  

    foggy morn twaddle

    high tide lifts all boats they smirk

    death by trickle down







  •  

    Peak Dexterity

    Hit the groove between the songs

    On spinning album 







  •  

    I do not take my

    plum crisp, I much prefer soft

    wrinkled and moist prunes







  •  

    Blowin’ in the wind

    Leaves mimic a kite in flight

    Without strings attached 







  •  

    Out in the barnyard

    Stinkiest foul fowl proclaimed

    Pheasants bow to me

    Pecked and scratched his messy mark

    All his chickens clucked around







  •  

    feels no need to primp

    a mushroom is always an
    attractive fungi






  •  

    Sitting on my porch

    Spring rain falling as I clutch

    Favorite beer cozy







  •  






    Cabinet tchotchkes

    Emporium of the dim

    Displayed for the world

    Unctuous eunuchs submit 

    Kneel and bob in unison  






     






    grinding decency
    to a pulp in our mortar
    with heinous pestle






     





    Build your own meaning
    Attach it to what you will
    Make sure it’s secure





     











    public spewed phooey
    in a dense fog of hooey
    head swine oinks “Sooey!”





     






    incognito me 

    used to hide the hidden me

    shell for real me







     






    Me out in the woods

    Playing red light green light game

    With a skittish deer














     






    Head knows it’s better

    To cleave our bond asunder 

    But heart will wonder







     






    before you harvest

    the bloom of your desires

    sow them deep then reap












    My timeline review 

    A tour of the great future 

    I have behind me







     

     






    Fresh laughter erupts

    As each new grift is put forth

    But it ain’t funny







     






    My big sheep costume

    Has a cotton ball glue skin 

    Flocculent Fuzzy

    Is my Tik Tok nom de plume 

    Like. 👍🏻 Share. ⤴️ My big baaa baaa boom 🐑








     






    Add a pinch of weird

    A dash from my stash. Voilà ! 

    A folly dollop














     





    Words left unspoken
    Remain forever unheard
    Now that’s not absurd






     








    seeing past our nose

    myopic psychotic sight

    tainted focus world 







     






    Claim they can fix it

    But that’s because they broke it

    Conservative scams







     






    Gusty branches groan 

    Willows sway and start to bud

    Coaxed into new life







     






    I’m over my head

    Taken the plunge and let go

    Awash in living








     






    Summer day bike ride 

    Found a wet cement pillar 

    At sun baked streets end

    City park bubbler welcome 

    At last a cooling swallow 







     






    I was buried deep

    Only then could I begin

    To dig myself out 







     






    because how we roll

    spin pitch and yaw through our space

    lucky to live on

    a planet so nice we get

    equinox equinox twice








     











    a thought for the day
    positive to negative
    my daily discharge






     






    Out on the corner 

    Arm outstretched with my palm up

    Need some spare night change









     





    Passion for fashion

    With all those palettes clashing

    Never been my style

    Not sayin’ I’m dull or nuthin’

    But gray’s my color druthers








     






    Slap happy pappy? 
    Hoosier mamma drama joke?
    Jog my memory






     







    Eating mulberries 

    Nap on the cool soft park grass

    Simple joys of youth







     







    A fishy story 

    Once upon a tadpole tale

    A hook closed the book








     






    built reality

    on low-res timeline, now queued

    for hi-res render







     






    He had his orders

    Sir Daffodil Dragonfly

    Slay all the Griffons 







     






    all good fun until

    first radioactive wave

    covers your hare pie









     






    Soft shoulders above

    Velveteen bodice below

    Romance is afoot








     





    existence is a

    fine blend of euphoria 

    and ambient dread
