  • Suntitled Onnet

    I yearn to know as much as I can learn A gift, this age is, to a probing mind And one should learn the right things to discern Or else you aren’t learning, you are blind. In order to expand you have to grow And grow your base of knowledge and of facts. Our brains…

  • Tell Your Kids

    Come gather round, children. There’re stories to tell. My time here is finite. And yours a springwell. We shall talk Beowulf Grendel, his foe— We shall talk Shakespeare And Normans And Rome. And we shall talk England And harbors of tea. A great many things Have I to tell thee. So come gather round let…

  • Untwirl the Hands of Time…

    I want to live my youth With the knowledge years have granted me, A seeker of the truth. To relish every victory, And stealing every kiss I failed to steal those years ago. Not knowing what I’d missed. To know how short my life would be — How quickly it would go, I’d fix every…

  • Lizard People

    Lizard people invading the Earth! Stealing the women and forcing the birth Of poor baby lizards half-human/half-skink! My fucking god I don’t know what to think!

  • A Limerick

    I looked and I’m missing a member I lost it but cannot remember Just where it was lost, Oh what is the cost? Oh what an atrocious December!

  • Point of No Return

    Thousands of years ago, let’s say ten: A society doomed to fall— Our point of no return was then Not ahead of us at all.

  • The Dream

    The dream I dream is clear within my mind Of her for whom my soul yearns for the most. And seeing her across the grass is fine, But almost like I’m looking at a ghost. The perfect one for me across the lawn — A gulf between us for myself to span— And I must…

  • Time Travel is Real

    Image by Dave Tavres from Pixabay I’ll go back in time and I’ll solve The things that we couldn’t absolve I’ll use all my wit To talk lots of shit And suggest that we have to evolve.

  • Think

    Some people think (if that’s what you can call it) There are certain things That no one can know for sure Because they don’t know them. They ask no questions. They believe no evidence. And sometimes the same people  Think that they know very unknowable things. These are dangerous people  And they surround us. Be…

  • Capitalism is the Virus

    I use my words to paint the page What glory do they bring? What fancy of the multitude? What charm? What wit? What bling? What courage to the men that read? What magic in my bones? And should we poll the multitude? To see whose side they’re on? And what path will you choose, young…

  • A Deadly Fucking Virus is Abroad! (a sonnet)

    A deadly fucking virus is abroad! It came across the air. Across the sea. It’s spreading uncontrolled through guys like Todd Who will not wear a mask—he says he’s free! But freedom’s an illusion. (news to Todd!) And none of us are ever truly free. Freedom is an effort to defraud The working class in…

  • No Time for Love Poems

    I’ve got no time for love poems for My verses seldom sate Any wont for cheerfulness In my frenetic haste. I hate the man who loved you back When I was seventeen. An eager sort of lad, I was, Obsessed with being seen. I hate the fact I never loved You deeper than your skin.…

  • Io

    Venus is a flytrap  Pluto is a planet. Mars says he’s a god, you know And Saturn cannot stand it. Venus wandered off with Mars As any woman would But Mars, he had his eyes on Io, In a lonely wood.

  • Longing

    I want to share my life with you but don’t  Know just  who you are I want someone who’ll challenge me Who’ll be my brightest star If only I held onto you Opportunity long gone I’d never let you go, my love I’d write a hundred songs All about my love for you and How…

  • Like Minds

    I don’t need you anymore. Fortune is a lonely whore. Challenges will keep me sane. Wracking my obtuse membrane. Leading is a thing I do Naturally, and you can too If I look to you for strength, You must be on my wavelength.
