Der Schauspieldirektor (The Impresario)
The Producers,
the real makers of goods we exchange, you
all realizing we were imaginably real to you.
Forsake not the flocking together,
as the manner of some is.
We hang together or most assuredly alone.
Commas can let us breathe or make us pause
without breathe-ing out, holding whole a time.
Demonstrable weformed all at once turning,
on Earth, in the span of three minutes
retuning time and chance crosswind
Darwin considered the ability
to produce musical notes
without direct use
the most mysterious endowment of mankind,
you all, listening beyond the pallisade, humin
y'all comin' one day to be judged by--- whom?
Have ye never read, we must judge angels?
Try the spirits, we were told, listen, be wary
wares wielded wisely, yes, knowing needing
knowers with some serpentine drive belts,
calling for clutches letting wheels spin free.
Making sense somewhere whence freedom
from stranger danger is nullified, impossible
nothing hellish lingers at death's door, true,
you may become wise as a serpent, perhaps
dragon expresses wisdom better, same idea,
your lizard brain cognition system piezo spark.
Under pressure to perform, laughing at that
knowledge.
Piezo sparked fire, the tongue no man tames,
the tiller telling the pilot to pay heed, indeed
we make our own way home work wonders,
while we share our unencumbered liberty,
wishing
evidence exchanged for faith shell midden
mound of traditional values used to entertain
Narration, rationalize pitch and sequence,
pay attention to the plumber tapping out
grout to remove ceramic tile, nextdoor,
all really ancient handiwork,
can we still make fire by hand? I wonder,
we can watch a youtube and get the idea,
- but not if all hell breaks loose, right?
Who can say, ah
me, I can say
amen,
but can we leisure class old ne'er do wells,
classified disabled for productive employment
truly pierce the last breath reality forming awe
mental suffixiation permanent mental looping
fractalling arrhythmic patterns minds perceive
receivable on all active cognitive lexigraphics
Kababble Chebar canal coilition, make it so
Caballic logic linked
kerplunk thunk
reimagine learning
after learning how fire
was kept alive, lucky lightning strike, may be,
coincidental summertime event, when we
**** sapiens innocents were on our own,
dystopia eutopian chittering fowl, our own
breath finding its fit in the local noises of life.
Are we historically fixed right now, or do we
redeem time
telling,
once
when I was told to bring the keynote, to us,
congregated to consume poetic driftwood,
cold snap in May, northern climes.
Fire kept fresh all winter long, long ago,
when king's museums were sunlit or not lit.
Who has the time reasonably
to peruse Vitruvius man,
and feel religiously,
under holy lust as described
in scripture, letters holding truth, as said,
Nothing hidden, nothing not made known,
the law is the law, we live under rule of law,
say those who serve the labor class essentials.
Compromise dominion -- bring on home.
In my father's house, on our mother's world,
we live and learn to be mankind, wombed
and un, awe learn to use man kindly as me,
I am my brother's keeper, I understand,
the very first kid did not understand, and
as happens with male pattern baldness,
what seed is sown is the whole truth grown
kinds of mongrels and kinds of pure breeds,
kinda consciousness that forms actual
knacks, flavors of ways being is done.
Intuited first impression at scale,
you know you know and do
as you enjoy imagining doing
in ever, in spirit, in mind, enjoyment,
mere use being, in spirit in mindspace
thinkable at speeds passing light
setting up a day's worth
of pure wisdom finding elemental fits
repurposed
to inspire ****** reproduction
to become proletarian next time.
Seeing flaccid Vitruvius man,
knowledge stretches to expand
-- it's true, we have yeast in us
condemnation deserved
smiling at the notion…
gaseous we, what a piece of work,
¿á?
if the law allows lying
to save an advantage,
is the law just
after we survive and meet life
face to face, as promised, this is that day.
So… poetic license revocation, volunteer
to enforce the promise to discern the whole
truth, regarding air share on Earth,
after realizing Earth is as ever must be.
Or we are dead already and just messin' witcha

for
Nat Lipstadt
In the tangle of sounds
and twisted letters,
I search for breath,
to slow the pulse of meaning.
The broken chain of notes is like a core,
passing through an acoustic cone.
Culture, history, and language
are not obstacles,
but a shell of clay
through which the wind flows.
I stand quietly behind a cracked window,
they ask us: create a language.
Unique in its expression,
man is guided too long by syllables
that cut and close within the borders.
On that day, I saw a garden,
and in it, words
blooming like exotic colorful flowers,
carrying within them the sweet nectar of meanings,
restoring dignity to every being.
We are like working bees,
chewing the cosmic dust.
In the desert of artificial conventions,
it is not proper to write from the heart,
to not offend the form,
to not lose the rhythm.
So, we come here,
searching for words driven deep
We lift them, each in our own way,
each in our own idiom.
To be an impulse and a memory
It is a reward, not an exile.
Here we have our own room to write
giving weight while seeking lightness,
in rhyme,
in the sea of creative doubts,
we travel
saving ourselves on the little
boat in an immense, timeless ocean.

Living is a gift
and each experience
is an opportunity.
No life is wasted,
no thing is useless,
and anything that exists
has purpose.

Yeah Yeah
you didn't know she was your first cousin
Contempt breeds within the one who lets it bend them over.
The opposite of familiarity breeds contempt.
strangeness, unfamiliarity
and
it all has to do with seeing yourself as some kind of perfect being, and really doesn't bother the one you have the contempt for...you
Contempt of Court? God will tell you.
(another poet's favorite saying murdered by logic and love. Yes, I know there are people who will say my writing is violent...that's the same people it smacks around. It will be okay...when you're gone. Do you get it? Someone who is ****** has kind of a right to feel contempt for the most familiar of all.)

grow on trees
But far too many people
are willing to go
out on a limb for it

so as to ensure
they never set foot
in my mouth again.

Until they go off

Business world
Often comes with consequences
Like finding out
The little people
You stepped on to get
To the top
Were your own children

these birds nest out of your ribs
like heart worn on your limbs
looking game
lock picking
scrapped
from compassion for birds.

Filters out

In a deep fryer

Could very well eat us alive

or do they live so close together
