OH I FEEL ILL

we're the last ones to know

where we will end up


we are the center of universes

that collide with the  universes


of others and the silent judgment from on high

keeps silent...will judge with nothing to say...


while worlds collide and lives are over turned...

I just ate a whole box of chocolate chip cookies


and feel like vomiting...yes...even in this little

worldly scrimmage of appetite and transcendence


apocalyptic yowlings attend a belly-ache

and relief is contingent on relief


we're the last one to know and add to our grief

because we disavowed repentance and clung to our hungers...

NO ONE IS EXEMPT

I learned my lesson years ago


and now those who belittled me

know what I'm talking about


you thought you were were blessed

you thought you were loved


and it didn't matter

to the agendas of the kings of the world


when they came to tear out your hearts...

DID SOMEONE SAY 'ANTI-CHRIST'S KINGDOM?

people take it easy

under their own sense of security


they know the deal

and if no one's bothering them


it's because they did nothing to

piss the powers-that-be off


but let them become complacent

and that arrangement will turn on a dime


"who me?  I ain't done nothing"

"yes you did...you lived...


and sold out your freedom"

be a victim if you must


but know it didn't matter to the masters

who rely on your vanity and your fear...

THE BASTARD

the whole town's in lock down


I farted briefly before a camera

hidden somewhere on the street


and now the cops are pouring in

to track this offender down


Big Brother won

and enforces his right


to be the head of the gang


his mercy unfathomable

his power the vanity of an oldest child

A SMALL POINT

a small point on an infinite curve—

this is your life—

your being—

and all you deserve—


you make its space

on your own—

and you inhabit it


with all you wish you had known

when

I

woke

up…

MOVING MARVEL

I am renewed!

fresh input from those I love

—and who love me

has finally sunken in


I know what to do

and what I need to learn

to do it

and to do it despite


whatever fate demands...


I do not fear what is to come

but I am apprehensive

and ready to see just how renewed


to stand in this awareness

and still be a moving marvel to myself...
