OUR GOLDEN AGE

Things have never been brighter!
The price of gold is higher !
Bullion ,Krugerands,coins,chains-
gold bars for our prisons!
Water taps gold plated
shredded gold upon our rice
gold bling rapper jewelery
gold caps teeth high priced!
This is truly our Golden Age!
All that glitters for the paparazzi
dangles like petite purses-
12 K,14K,20K-every body
can afford-veneer if not real
Gold painted idols,Egyptian funeral masks
Gold medals Olympic cast
Golden Eye,Goldfinger,The Man With The Golden Gun-
James Bond movies re-run for Arabians
Gold Diggers of 2010
Gold mines beneath the sand
Nuggets of solid wisdom in Museums
Hold it (gold dust!)in your hands-
Pan for gold in local creeks-
remember Gold Rush memories
Streets of London paved with..
Dick Whittington believed-as do we
who buy gold stocks for when we are full of gravity
and the weight of investment can carry us
by then all aurum(like us)-will have turned to dust!

WATER AS THE NEW OIL
Adaptation is everything-we came from the ocean
and this spill has changed what we can eat.Seafood comes already oiled
We changed from gills to legs-now we process
oil as our blood.Our body engines resist steam and water
accept oil as food and lubricant.Wars for oil now blood on water
Separation of elements evolutionary
Wells dug deep within our skin/extract necessary liquidities..

MERGING
watch waves long enough,you will enter
the rhythm /cadence of moon tutoring
Sit by river ,time is fluid/it changes as you change
Bus stop time different to car truck time
different to plane /satellite-pace of change accelerates
Witness or participant?Distance defines us!
Traces of minerals from another meteor
Water on our moon.Messages from planets.
Looking up!(you send a gaze heavenward
on a present path of Light-you are enlightening..
sports accessories gold plated-guns
with gold handles,pistols and machines
Gold sparkles in our dreams!
