my style has changed me
not the other way around
there are subtle differences
in myself that only I can know
this is traced back to the simple
requisition of living
and that is repetition

today the sun is a brilliant yellow smear
against the bluest of blues and it seems
at noon that the height of the sun
is a bit higher over the horizon
and the shadows look changed also

mood is king
I obey
every thought
ever invented
is present
they are a crushing weight

myth
creativity
the pegboard
of the human psyche
everyone pretends
to understand

a shack by the sea
the tide setting pace
gentle waves
that never cease
bleached palms
tower overhead
in the soft breeze

passion is selfish
desire comes and goes
laziness
an undeserved reputation
hard work
barely noticeable
in the din




the suns rays
light up the snow banks
obliquely with a pink tinge
the Andes in miniature

there exists
a warm place safe
from the sting
of a world
built on irony

explain yourself to no one
coldness meets coldness
there is no room for us all
success cannot be measured

either or
that is where the mistake was made
the error of duality
man, those nuns were killers

once I began a list
of principles deemed important
it was to help serve
as a guide as I steered
my way through the world

why are we so alone?
how does the time pass
so very slowly to allow
our doubts to surface
strong, impregnable, concrete

well, I hope I have given you something to disagree with
I hope that by expressing my ideas in these poems
has offered you the opportunity to cut and tear down
the sentiments and allow  to see yourself, your actions
in a better more secure light, as if that was possible
Thanks and good night

sipping beer at zero degree
horribly bitter winter
my fingers ache
under gray washed sky
morning doves flitter
in and around a neighboring pine
preparing for the night
and I step inside the dream
of an earth
that sleeps

anxiety
the built in accessory
of modern life
I can ignore it best ‘bout anyone
shifting focus at will
but I prefer it to just go away
jimmy tee Jan 2014
moments ago
a certain thought
crossed my mind

capillaries
intellect
repetition

art is defined
by its frame
where it is not

ever make
a decision
that flew away?

hate the noise
not the person
jimmy tee Jan 2014
I refuse to believe that the increasing madness
is mine alone
this is  a shared trait among us
the pipers of the salty sea
the pipers of the interior beaches
same movement, same chirrup
