Conflict: "Which came first
The particle or the wave?"
Cosmic Light Stalker
Always emollient says
"Simultaneous of course"

The laws you may flout
Lie, bloviate, and squeal
The poison will out

original sin
heinous concept of belong
root of all evil

Living in grand style
Prosperity gospel slag
Cheating hubby wife
With self righteous finger wag
Shill a lush and shameful life

Pocket my cell phone
Wander through my neighborhood
Haiku Will Travel

What looks like sunrise
Is really Diogenes
Holding his lantern
Over our land searching for
An honest politician

It's quite the travail
To hack through the wilderness
With all this baggage

I offer my take
On outrage machine social
Slather on the grief

trip over my own
words only to land flat on
the page once again

aristocracy
progenitor spirit champs
the bit for over
a hundred years seizing this
moment to shackle us all

Best licks behind me
Riff needs a resolution
Gliss home with grace notes

Low expectations
The spice that keeps me patient
Crushed joie de vivre

don't you just hate it
when past becomes now too soon
leaves no future room

Told there was a plan
Claimed there was no plan. There was.
It was a bad plan

Two little boys scream
Menaced by a bumble bee
Under Gary's porch
Eventually
Gary's mom comes out to see
Shooed away the bee
Shakes her head at us
With great disdain for the boys
Such little babies

to melt this glacier
of icy mistrust will take
honest truth to thaw

once limpid pools cloud
with stirred up muck of past debts
retribution reigns

letting the day gain
purchase on my attention
as dreams slink away

snug in his own group
it might be said that crow got
lost in his murder

The moment was right
To outstrip ourselves that night
Tangle of delight

dementia leads us
waist deep in the big muddy
with unclear vision

The great man theory
History's an example
Of one knucklehead
Convincing many others
To do dirty work for them

It just makes me yawn
As attention seeking spawn
All line up to fawn
Acting like it's a new dawn
Nope. Just primal greed redrawn

run with a mishmosh
crisscross vile base message and
this is what you get
