WARMTH IN A COOL SEASON

shopping for happiness
returns after Xmas

half newspaper advertising
touting emptiness

chill wind outside
Utilitarians inside

think of these string words
as footprints in snow

world asleep,dreaming
(taxi to the Underworld)

black and white movies
restore apatheid

Empty Chair Syndrome
(every Emperor naked)

Wikileaks now plural
floodtide of information uprising

cracking the Great Firewall of China-
hackers,slackers,midnight Anonymous trackers

stoning the men of Iran-
an avalanche of women

Canadian wind crosses borders-
no visa,no passports

divide in two groups-
those who would hunt and kill your deer
and those who feed your future

autopsy showed the sausage
hid alien life forms

gridlock traffic
kissing bum
per to bumper

forgiveness ongoing-
cleaning the world as you glow

splitting hairs or atoms?
try solar,tidal,ever-renewable

lights reveal us/rescue us
from interior darknesses

more movies made now
than can be screened in your lifetime

settling down?or settling in?
i am Voipstunt,you Skype

reports of ice small
when compared with Titanic

solar powered diary days
moon dreaming dairy nights

to get to where you are
i had to leave here

moon left-sky,night,clouds
every body lost a lover

interior winter
coolness between us

i left my face in your mirror
so you might see me upon awakening

the only day that matters is this one
(until the next)

your face turned Picasso
when i mentioned Monet

the movies they are projecting
less than the script of our lives

still,your voice,a flight path
guiding the young planes home

rice in the bird feeder
winter wingless homelessness

even rivers change direction
over time

tonight,the frost
terrorist threatens tomatoes

green may be temporary
but so is permanence

teaching me to fall-
these temporary flowers

patience of a hunter
and her prey

smells of breakfast mornings
sizzling frypan life

false flag bananas-
yellow ripe,with green stems

drunken bees mistake my shirt for flowers
i mistake virtual for reality

one lost wasp seeking nest
promises not to sting!

stars still there/even when hidden'
just like emotions

in my back pocket
my miniature histories

all your musical instruments
dream instant orchestras

traffic?or birdsong?
freedom?or gridlock?

quickly!today in a hostile takeover
of your darkest night
