Your love is like wheat rust
Your friendship is cyberwar
Your acquaintance is stalking
Your coolness is global warming
Your envy is greenhouse effect
You waterboard me!
My enemy status=non-combatant
I am your civilian love-send me to your Bagram
Inside your Guantanamo,i await appeal
Will you be a military tribunal?
or a well hung jury?
MORTMAIN
Janus asks -is my past
greater than my future?
No god knows-shadows of skyscrapers
overshadow single stories like ours
Many domestic tragedies unreported
We lean in to this present moment
knowing the past will not save us
our future uncertain-and even now
is transience
A CURE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Drop all expectations(and projections!
TONIGHT AS HEAVEN
Imagine angels with smiles for wings
and only music and poetry to protect them!
One wings in from Arkansas-his car towed
Sixty dollars later-"Welcome To Austin!"
He was sleeping in that car,and only the hospitality of poets
saves him sleeping in these APD streets
Two police cars for every one offense
Homeless hassled and harassed
when they need to be housed and welcomed
Couchsurfing later,hearts and doors open
and another new musician joins the ranks
of thin stringed buskers ,petitioning your arts!
