and random murders,bombings,assassinations

if both are true-or neither
please explain further.

EMOTIONAL ECOLOGY
Red anger activates.Eats away unless transformed into activism
Green peace activates.Disrupts whales,dolphin slaughtering
Red Communism is now Crony Capitalism(Russia),Corruption(China)
Green products cost more and are still hybrids
Red is the color of blood and restaurant tables and fires
Green shades of lost shadow rainforests.Plant more trees-or see red.!

REPTILIANS
Dispensing samples@Sun Harvest
Wild eyes,he transfixes upon me-
"Do you know of David Icke?"
"Yes..reptilians..Bildeberg..shadow governments..etc etc etc
He ,conspiratorially "It's getting closer,you know"
"Me-"O!-you mean 2012?"
"Yes",as he serves me hemp seeds"most folk are asleep"
I make a note to go to SPROUTS for samples
Paranoia needs company.I drop my fear
and buy a canteloupe,some cherries and blackberries
It's getting close,you know!

OUR GOLDEN AGE
not peacocks ,nor gilded altars nor gods
more a shining bright as atomic bombs(for we may never see a H Bomb
and if we only start @A and never get to H(i will be happier
sans Princes sans Paupers,Paradises Promised via Politicians
Now the Price Of Gold has never been Higher
The price of Time demises(many doing time rather than vice versa
There may be a Gold Rush in Gold-but that is largely Futures
(ours is assured-we are More Than Minerals!
Earth still quaking ,planes still falling (in prices
Floods,pestilence,famine-simultaneous with astonishments
Who knows what will happen?-NEXT!

AMYGDALAE ANCESTORS
Deep in a cave in our minds,decisions are made
primal and passionate,never seeing the light of rational eyes
nor arguing rationally for/on/to a scientific basis
Ask why emotion rules when deciding AMERICAN IDOL
or cheering the murder of unarmed civilians
(Syria,Iran,Klu Klux Clan..every lynch mob/flash mob
every mutiny,riot,act of random(or authorized) violence
Our ancestors resurrect within our skin
when we glow back to our killing cave origins

THREE ANGELS ON BICYCLES

One lark,one swallow,one butterfly-
each with wings of words,songs,strings
freed from the puppetry of sky and distance
flew in to our temporary nest and sang for no supper
They gave and smiled and flew away-wheels spinning
in a spring that was Summer,in a blue that was golden


i can no longer fit within the small room(of my body)
i used to eat the whole wide world(became the world)(round and round)
i used to used to go back instead of being here(safer/comfort zones/familiars)
i watch as spirits flit out of their only holy skin
count moments when drinking this in/i get drunk on memories
i can no longer remember who is living
today i asked myself-but i was leaving

MEDICINE SONG
sing over my body as i lay dreaming
all that remains is needing healing
sing to the core of all that springs gardens
seeds of new life -arise!awaken!

Giant Asteroid Hurtling Towards Earth and a second feature: The Tomato that Ate the Earth

THERE IS NOTHING ONE CAN DO
once the plane has left the ground
and you are in the air/with many other passengers
whose faith in flight is high as kites
yet whose gravity means baggage fees

there is nothing one can do
on a freeway gridlocked/who
can move traffic @rush hour?
Even Superman found Kryptonite!

there is nothing one can do
when birthdays pop up faster every year
and time is like a rabbit down a hole
(it WAS here just a moment ago!)

there is nothing one can do
when the world comes to an end
for every one,one day or night will be their last
and it does not matter if it is a blast

or if four billion others wonder too
there is nothing one can do!

iNSTANT UPANISHADS

Brought home the sun
flower.She drunk on yellow
Light/bent towards /away from
inevitable gravity.We agreed!
Whatever example one can align with
is better than dirt.

GARDEN
wherein we grew /enough
to be expelled from College
for Apple pranks
on Isaac Newton.

BIRDS SLEEP WHEN YOU ARE NOT WATCHING
Cats watch them.

RETIRED TREE MEETS BARBER
asks for a quick trim.

SOMEWHERE,SOMEONE
is doing something
better.

PHILOSOPHERS /STONED
solve the Uni-verse in/somniac free verse

MUSE STEALS OUR CHILDREN
every generation/a new crop
mowed down /in/fluences.

AGAIN,A NEW CHILD ASKS-
why pain?suffering ?wars?
Sea sighs,returns blood tides

STRANGERS ON FACEBOOK
avoiding ever meeting/via post.

INTERROGATORY HEAT
Why?

DIASPORA

You are reading this as part of a "social network"
(which is a misnomer-as it is a virtual representation
(as words themselves-and language-sounds /symbols
are a code to REPRESENT connections/and replace them
with a mode more economic and efficient(binary code/alphabets)
The success of FACEBOOK and GOOGLE brings to light flaws
in the way we choose to link with each other-information is corporatised,
censored,becomes proprietorial,and an instrument of exchange
rather than an energy process of affirming friendships and affiliations.
Bits and bytes are then SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER
and the next step post hacking and stealth firewall invasions and Stuxnet and bots
is the breaking of the link between us via data invasions of privacy
This has already happened at a governmental level
Soon it will become another corporate platform
with venture capital to research the best ways to manipulate us for market forces
are now motivation for communication,and monetizing the mantra.
Be aware of privacy invasions on all levels
Antivirus ,spyware,malware updates will not prevent SECURITY breaches
especially when your personal data is seen as food for profits for hackers,slackers
and those wish to become overnight billionaires on the backs of who you really are.

DANGEROUS DAYLIGHT

When i argued with the river
It simply turned over in bed
So i waited.For time.To stop(it did not!
All that will change is time.
River flows around.No time to argue.

CHINESE PUZZLE FISH
Radioactive,melamin
Mud,blood,floods,fear
Confucius confused-
Arthur Waley mistranslates
Digital dog fish
contaminates.

INTER VIEW
Q:Where do we hand our power now?
A:Over to the right(wing)
Q When do we get it back?
A:Never
Q:Who do i talk to about this?
A:We have offshore all complaints
Q:Why?
A:Because of difficult questions like this

BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE(another fender bender
As if time could only wait(for no man
and when you get close/there are no witnesses.

SHARPENED THIS PEN 
To the point/every syllable screamed

i am a POSSIBILIAN/ seeking PATRONISM

Renaissance requires patronage-we are Art
in word,song,metal,wood,mud and life
We do not need to believe-life surprises us!
Possibilities present themselves poignantly 
we passionately embrace perspectives
prepare ourselves for self-initiations
preach only to the converted
seek patrons for the pleasure of creation!
When asked for explanations-we offer questions
When bee questions die off,we sing with whales
When dolphins beach,we drag them back in to the deep
("has many voices,not all of which benign")
Now mark a spark where you are upon this life page book
Take another look inside-alternatives/options reside
What you see and feel only part/portion
There is always more once you open the door
and walk out in to the unknown

 

"RITUAL HABITUAL"

Habit gets me through-
breathing,dreaming,walking...

IN EVERY VILLAGE,there is a well-
YOU ARE A VILLAGE!

Gemini Season!
Gemini Season!

The problem with the Right Wing-
(they think they are right!)

Angry servant of god
wants to be master.

Looking for e motions
to move on.

From INNER to OUTER
is a journey .

Before you die
please LIVE!

Buddha was not a Buddhist
Jesus was not a Christian.

You doubt angels
yet believe UFOs?

My best news?
You can do better!

EMOTIONAL ALMANAC

WHEN GRIEF HITS
and we cannot digest
We turn to food as medicine
Neighbors bring pot luck
Family gathers for a wake
More than distraction-
focusing upon digestion
allows butterflies to sit
and emotions to glow both hot and distant
There is NO EXIT from this earth
(we will all be compost for the worms)
Yet voluntary departures mean
we share the grief as food for thought
 moving meditation(loss-
is always for the living...

REGRETS ,WORRY,FEAR
excess baggage -here,clear!
what happens independent of emotion
malice extra.lazy actor.cinema verite.(yawn!
Hit yourself!Save me the time and energy!
False gods every where-demanding obesience
Fear,worry,regret makes us smaller
In the larger world,they do not exist-
ask animals as they leap without limit
There is simply WHAT IS
All the rest is sugar coating saccharine -not even stevia!
What happens next unknown to all of us..
Extend your emotional repertoire!
Imagine your alternatives!

why journalists are the new storytellers

Norman Mailer invented "faction"(the mixing of fact and fiction
and in ANCIENT EVENINGS took us back to Ancient Egypt
He also slipped time zones easily-putting the "fabula"back in to "fabulous!"
His biography of MARILYN required leaps of imagination
Journalism demands veracity and authentic sources
Fact checks make for fat checks-Wikileaks over Wikipedia
Julian Assange over John Pilger
We half read THE PENTAGON PAPERS
which exposed malfeasance on a governmental scale
Yet even Boston Slam Brown fictionalized articles
to keep her circulation going round
Suits for libel and slander do not stop the NATIONAL ENQUIRER
and the NEWS OF THE WORLD is less news-more world stories
with paparrazi pix and bold huge headlines
the fate of celebrities relies upon these exposes
from Liz Smith to Kitty Kelley-the reporter becomes the headline
as journalism becomes the Nation's image building story telling
from opera to soap opera to Ophra-the dumbing down is real
Facts less important than what people feel
Never trust a headline that promises revelations!
Last time the end of the world was predicted ended in frustration!

"it is sometimes enough to walk"

each step away from and also towards
each heart beat stirring furnaces of blood pump
awarding body with a pulse of thought
"Feelings come first-words follow after"
I let my feet dictate the scope and stretch of laughter
All else is secondary to perambulation
There is only movement.There is only motion.
Exercise is devotion.

GHOST BANQUET
Pot luck(again!)-in comes Albert
Zen Bob laughs beside him
Byron (Kocen),Joe Murphey,-
it's getting rowdy!Laughter!
They do not know they are not here!
They leave,quieter now
Knowledge is disaster.

"50 years!"(she shares-
"I have 50 years of memories!
Every obselete format ,every mistake,every human error
from the landing on the Moon
to those stringed assassinations
My life is full of files-
I may have to delete some-just to fit more in!"

i was in a forest once

it was not silent-
does anyone remember deep forests?

i was a waterfall
until your emotional drought

clouds cover
like a kiss with no promise

deep sleep
when the seas come in waves

early morning
catching dewdrops!

after midnight
when zen dreams

after rain-frogs!
bliss singing!

snakes seek water
because they are

my guilty cat-
bird feathers!

night's stowaway-
boat of dreams!

a herd of watermelon-
plump,green,pink-
how can you cut just one?
