"adaptations" poems
This little man that I know with money in his sockets and routine in his pockets has self proclaimed that he is a tight *** When I envision a *** such as this, I imagine a bundle -- of securely aggregated, perfectly sharpened number two pencils. The businessman just shy of adulthood and too tired to remember –even the beginning of his of disclosure, denied his struggle to acclimate a multifarious lifestyle, appropriately suggested in the form of a triangle, and a circle, both of which embody polar opposing adaptations of humanistic routine. The two shapes: The circle, denies the break in motion by imposing a constant cycle of diligent compression, there is no room for pause only steady flow and relentless drive. This influence of life impression slows down the heart, body, and soul while speeding up time. This particular commitment accommodates the dry colorless beings that embrace and accept boxed imprisonment. Traditionally, the triangle denotes rhythmic patterns that elevate and drop to a point in which imposes a healthy reflective pause: progression, reflection, balance. As stated, as a provincial approach, a regular triangle flat on its base, peaking at the top represents a healthy, solid life routine. In contrast, the triangle can be flipped upside-down introducing an entirely new dynamic, composed of flat-lined monotony, tapered off to a regressed realm of destruction, regret and disorder. Despite the uniqueness of the standard triangle model to the man in question, it is important to compare the negative reflection, for it applies to the entirety of this investigation. We used to be lovers, he and I. We shared my giant pillow-top that I bought on the black market for a meager two-hundred fifty. -- A mere steal at that rate. We occasionally exchanged ideas, mainly about ethical concerns related to globalization and the environment. I attempted to give him a cooking lesson once, but that failed, indefinitely. The bust was not my doing, but simply, a great disinterest on his part; or better yet an inability of not being better than me at something. Everything has gotten so crowded.

"Alexander son of Philip, and the Greeks except the Lacedaemonians--" We can very well imagine that they were utterly indifferent in Sparta to this inscription. "Except the Lacedaemonians", but naturally. The Spartans were not to be led and ordered about as precious servants. Besides a panhellenic campaign without a Spartan king as a leader would not have appeared very important. O, of course "except the Lacedaemonians." This too is a stand. Understandable. Thus, except the Lacedaemonians at Granicus; and then at Issus; and in the final battle, where the formidable army was swept away that the Persians had massed at Arbela: which had set out from Arbela for victory, and was swept away. And out of the remarkable panhellenic campaign, victorious, brilliant, celebrated, glorious as no other had ever been glorified, the incomparable: we emerged; a great new Greek world. We; the Alexandrians, the Antiocheans, the Seleucians, and the numerous rest of the Greeks of Egypt and Syria, and of Media, and Persia, and the many others. With our extensive territories, with the varied action of thoughtful adaptations. And the Common Greek Language we carried to the heart of Bactria, to the Indians. As if we were to talk of Lacedaemonians now!

My roots aren't here They never were I planted some crops But they were imported An ideal situation this land may be To the adaptable, changing and innovative breeds It is habitable to the natives and hybrids that are able to flourish But me, my roots come from a different tree They belong somewhere else They always have I can survive in new elements But only with proper care and chemicals The artificial adaptations eventually take their wear And usually from the inside out Without the natural nourishment I whither So as thankful as I am for a land that harvested growth It is essential to my survival that I find my proper home

A Proper Setting
Toddlers can put green crayons in the freezer without Anybody questioning them and I Have a problem with that. I have a problem with the fact that toddlers can put Green crayons in the freezer and tell their parents that they are Preserving The Earth and that they’ve been learning about Animal adaptations and conjunctions in school And that they Love Their friends. I have a problem with the fact that a Toddler’s idea of Beauty Is a butterfly landing on their finger during Recess, a snowflake on their tongue, the Grogginess of  staying up past 8:30, Scooby snacks, Dora the Explorer, The satisfaction of scraping the First chunk out of a tub of butter, the Giddiness and fear at your first sleepover, The one where you had to timidly shake your Friend awake in the middle of the night because you could Not for the Life of you find the bathroom. I’m not ashamed to admit that I haven’t said I love you in a time that Lingers like the smell of burning. It’s always love you or love ya and I’ve Forgotten what it feels like for those words to Caress my lips, to guide my heart Out of its cage into the Stale air. I want to be considering beauty like a Toddler.  I want to be watching Dora and Learning about conjunctions, but instead I’m Crying because I can’t fit into my jeans right and I Don’t know how to do makeup.  I want to say I love you and let it Ring in the air like Frozen music But I can’t Because you’re States away and instead I brush my hair So many times for people who don’t even like me that There’s no personality left. I have a problem with the fact that you Moved on so quickly and left me with the Loves me not flower petal and that Dora the Explorer is not on Netflix Anymore and the price of Happy Meals goes Up everyday like the age of my Heart   And that Toddlers can put green crayons in the freezer without Anybody questioning them and say that They Are preserving the Earth.

Though first, I evolved according to plan Little enabled me outlive this predator With few permanent armor plates, strong Muscles capable of crushing Anything, bones extremely tough, These serious injuries go beyond My cold-bloodedness. I like my environment, have developed Behaviors to control it, to save energy That can be put to other use An evolved entirety of reason Is why I can go for over a year In extreme shutdown My own tissue will feed On anything it can overpower Extraordinarily adaptable During difficult times, I will scavenge for everything, Digest nothing left behind My social interactions are complicated I primarily lead a solitary life, don’t recognize Vocalization, postures, signals, touch My brain more complex than that of any other A powerful sense of perception The ability to learn, to avoid situations That modify me structurally Adaptations have allowed me to thrive But surviving human encroachment May be my biggest challenge Through habitat enhancement I may be able to ensure these Sophisticated survival skills For years to come

Survival Episode
Mouths are not used for communication. Rather they add to all frustrations, Allowing lies, guile, and machinations. If man had a trunk to trumpet a warning, ‘Twould be better served than a tongue used for spurning. A narrow proboscis for nutrients to **** More useful than lips that spew only muck. The double-speak game is one that must stop, Before all good words are spun into rot. Mouths are ridiculous adaptations, That enable ridiculously false orations, Telling us all we need is communication. -M. Hale 6.10.11

If Janus Could Talk, He Would Sound Like...Us
Some days my heart shines like its sure the sun is its closest rival and oldest teacher, Other days my brain convinces it that it might as well just call in sick for the day to avoid the echoing pains of nights prior, On most days though my heart is in a constant argument with my brain, Maybe not an argument but more of a negotiation, my brain lets my heart wander on a longer leash and play its music a little louder, but once the storm clouds roll in my heart has no choice but to be locked away for the sake of my mental foundations integrity. Somewhere in the compounds of my body there is a soul that cant get a word in on the dialougues of my heart and brain, Then again he has no scientific bearing in the world so he holds no worthwile input? But what if my brain and heart are tool my sould has yet to figure out? Or vice versa? Maybe souls are adaptations and sentience is is just us learning to use those adaptations to our advantage? Souls cant be just tools or improvements though, they are too cemented and too complex, Too raw, unobservable, undescribable, and undeniable. I just wish there was a way to get all 3 on the same page. Nothings the same lately and its like my world flipped upside down, and this is me falling out of reality into infinity and watching everything Ive wanted or known pass me bye like lines on a road. The other day I took some acid and found myself laughing at the fact that we discover medicines and we have politics and science and that we have this curiosity to explore and this hellbent obsession with expansion and growth. I realized at that moment that there is a simple and absolutely gorgeous futility to everything humans do, We might cure cancer, The sun will still blow up eventually, We may find world peace, But overpopulation might bite us for that one, The point is nothing we do can stop the end times, that doesnt mean stop what youre doing and lose all motivation, it just means at the end of the day, were in the can regardless, dont sweat the small stuff and make your moments gleam.

If we’d carefully addressed our nuances We wouldn’t be in this mess… If we’d spoken to the heart rather than the heartless head… If we hadn’t turned this planet into a closed and open hell… Like a giant burning cruise ship full of mere shells, piercing into the earth’s former self… We ignore the trees; the trees that show us magnificence and mystery; destroying their epic lives in a heartbeat… But the trees whisper through connected fungi, working as a team for longevity, with no concept of antipathy… And in dark forests on the sunniest days we still glimpse those rays of true beauty… We still have a responsibility in our vastness to steer this ship of souls in the right direction, in conjunction with nature and all of it’s adaptations… Why stare into one hole in a cave when there are a million different pools and palaces shining through the crystal cracks, all waiting to join as we chip away at a new haven… Imagine what aliens would think then when they came to visit our shimmering, all-embracing, reciprocal creation… I remember ones almost my age who saved this vision early on, looked at me straight in the eye and winked as I was gone…

Scatter-ship
No one is who they were yesterday. Minuscule adaptations form with each sunrise and go unnoticed until you look back at an old photograph, or think about something that happened with an old friend who is now a stranger that you know nothing about. You are your own doppelganger. The girl sitting in the theatre playing obnoxious games with her loud, aspiring individualistic friends seems like a stranger to me. It is impossible to pinpoint the moment when things started to change and I lost sight of that girl, and who she wanted to be. At the least, I wonder when everything started to shift. What caused the imbalance? Now I sit alone in classes I don't care to pursue with no sense of aspiration towards anything. I remember all of the laughter and the sleepovers, gossiping about everything. I remember random details and insignificant everyday stories that could take up hours upon hours of reiterating. When a friendship terminates what are you supposed to do with all of your old shared secrets? Where are you supposed to put those memories? The girl I am right now doesn't talk to those people anymore and I can hardly remember what it felt like to be in her shoes, and all I really have is knowing things about the people that they used to be.

My Former Family
Interestingly enough, a city filed with intoxicating dress, yes, I like the chucks and baggy pants, no I do not wear it myself, but I appreciate the look, with the Giants hat, let me write you a vignette, techies tools talking bout tacky office gossip and girls they will never **** bahaha and iPods ipods iPods fueling a sweet melody for the ride in boxcar boxcar. Yas yad yas People going to and from work , quieter, contemplative, examining their tax returns, the hat pulled down straight people, ticking, tocking, the images of content, staring up with amusement, the people talk of beer, of business, in seriousness, the pamphlets, the trends, counters, crawlers, beggars, in solitude, all of them have lovers, insecurities, mal adaptations, taking the drug that says that the life is alright, and thats alright the little town looks so real to them, they, use the crosswalk, they, stop at the red stop sign, they, don't make eye contact, because their purpose is to purpose, their purpose is their power lunch, a power lunch, of a sandwich, what of a sanwhich?  and what does that have to do with the urban life?   the power meal, designed with purpose, for purpose, in chairs that are made for rain, in intersections made for walking, in red lights made for stopping and aliens must be amused, by the order, the roots must be...facinating

Counters, crawlers, beggars
Our eyes are different our minds so similar Hearts struck from cliffs of porous stone how can you change what you are after? At breakneck speed it is roll or run My guise is significant Adaptations adequate In founding, proscribed By a burrowing throne Allocated empathy Out of arbitrary agony The suns of our comforts Can boil your bones Remember the wild call. The earth between your toes How nature allows us There's no wrong way without a road Internalize those symmetries That form a greater whole We are each what God sought When he swore and broke the mould

Pacific Wind
These are adaptations in Ezra Pound's tradition, not exact translations. - mce I The moon is gone, the Pleiades vanished, my youth deserts me. In night's darkest heart, time streams on and yet I sleep alone. II On feather beds, we spent our desire, dancing within each other until no holy place remained untouched. III The Muses instructed me; My honor is their craft. IV We shall enjoy each other, Love; let stillness and sorrow stalk those who disapprove. V No warning! A torrent strikes the stout oak as love strikes my heart. VI Stars hide their faces when the moon's splendor smiles and shines upon the earth. VII Taking the lyre into my hands, my fingers invited it to speak a lover's voice. VII You have set my heart alight. IX I thirst and I burn.

Nine Adaptations of Fragments By Sappho
A tempest is brewing Beneath our soles. Coerced many massive mountains but sundering them not;                                      consuming them. With eons unequaled, With few fathoms measurable yet measuring the unfathomable. Unrealistic fables, As a dragon in a cavern, Perhaps infernal heathens...                                     ludicrous claims, yet No soothsayer's transmutations, No reviser's adaptations, Nor squabbling between politicians could surmount to the tensions amassing beneath us. Are we at pinnacle of the world? Only if one's ego is at True North, Merely the surface, unfurled forth. But as molten iron dwindles slowly outward into hardened crust As does man's manifested quest for greed and lust So if a monolithic magma pool ever decides to ****** Hopefully it will gather a rather miraculous gust (it must!) Distrusting the wicked, while sparing the just As quickly as water turns ephemeral steel to rust.

Adaptations..
little ***** and rings of metal move as he talks three studs, on his eyebrow wander like a slugish overfull caterpillar the bullring ring in his nose, condenses with each breath of the frigid  winter morn and his earlobes swing and dangle with blocks and spheres of a dark wood like substance I ask him, does that hurt, he deigns not to answer..... We get on with the matter at hand, his idea for a thesis; with regard to dramatic reflection in Shakespearean adaptations He speaks of Othello, Richard III and Romeo and Juliet.... the use of water, sunglasses and mirrors I ask if he believes there is 70000+ words in his exploration of reflection.... all the time watching the metal caterpillar try to escape the forest of his eyebrow.... He sighs, and the bullring mists over the ears lobes waggle and waft around. He states not really sure......but he likes the idea I send him off to look for other plays Shakespearean or not that he could include in this work.....and to come back in a month with a precis and chapter plan.... He leaves, shoulders slumped, muttering and I think....I may have added  one more peircing to his intellectual life

pierced
Shake hands with the soul of my flickering shadow as it flitters around the confinement of paths which are visually observed by their myriad of sounds. I can smell tragedy as it pervades the atmosphere, in the same manner as the keys of a grand piano echo their confident assertions with the resonating comfort of finality. Can we have dinner together, and discuss those compensatory adaptations which are necessary to bridge the gap over crumbling cliff-top roads as they meander below our spirit with unnerving anticipation? Let us continue to guide each other beyond superficial perceptions. After all, we are allies.

Authentic Apparitions
We truly weren't born with a destiny. We just exist to live, breed and then die. It's a sad truth but it is the law of the world. However, humans such as you and I are created so different from other species. We wonder why. Why do we exist? Why do we feel? Why do we do whatever we do? Psychology, religion and science all try to answer this question yet you still wonder. We all face this. We're naturally curious creatures. We develop different mind sets and different adaptations to certain situations that are dependent on our environment. We have close minded people and open minded people. We have people who are always in the clouds and down to earth people. Different ideologies and different reactions. So why are we here? We seem to destroy the earth like locusts to crops. We seem to help it as well. Violence is nature's natural cure for the elimination of the population of species. We commit these when we poach animals and breed them to be a certain way and sell them. We also commit these when we harm environments to suit our human needs for grandeur and comfort. We even commit these acts of violence when we **** someone, hurt them or far worse. The weak will die while the strong lives yet the weak can also become strong. We see survivors from life threatening diseases. We even have humans save others. We want comfort, security, and to live. We cause silly things to happen. we destroy ourselves and others around us. We want to be noticed and to be seen. We want others love. We want to be free and see what life offers. So why are we here? The answer is the most simple of all. We simply are here to exist and live.

Why are we here? (Just a thought)
We truly weren't born with a destiny. We just exist to live, breed and then die. It's a sad truth but it is the law of the world. However, humans such as you and I are created so different from other species. We wonder why. Why do we exist? Why do we feel? Why do we do whatever we do? Psychology, religion and science all try to answer this question yet you still wonder. We all face this. We're naturally curious creatures. We develop different mind sets and different adaptations to certain situations that are dependent on our environment. We have close minded people and open minded people. We have people who are always in the clouds and down to earth people. Different ideologies and different reactions. So why are we here? We seem to destroy the earth like locusts to crops. We seem to help it as well. Violence is nature's natural cure for the elimination of the population of species. We commit these when we poach animals and breed them to be a certain way and sell them. We also commit these when we harm environments to suit our human needs for grandeur and comfort. We even commit these acts of violence when we **** someone, hurt them or far worse.

you were the one that taught me that people never change no matter how many years you give them and how often the setting changes and how many new people they've met people never change. you broke my heart and you kept on doing it and I realized I will never change I'll keep loving you. I will never change.

adaptations
Everyday at 6 on the hour May Willows bathes in her flowers. She gently smooths her lavender upon her gentle skin, giving it such passion it entices as if a sin. After which she reaches for her crimson towel and envelopes herself in it's subtle yet overwhelming power. Yes, without this barrier walls would fall, hearts would sink, evil would rise. Then her little peachy furs flutter to a wake. IT is this time today when May Willows recalls the fateful event of her youth that has haunted her fresh adolescents and had given her such shivering adaptations. She recalls the cold, unwelcoming shards skidding across her face. The speed of her skin against the granite causing her senses to numb in shock. A party was being held but the ground did crash it. The home was wrecked and the valuables were shattered in the unkind intrusion. But what was there to do? Nothing was to be done because there was no true damage. It burned only of envy and esteem by the suns next rise. To say "at least" for what remains means "smile" would be simple. To say another state is ill-fed so you cannot ask for more would be belittling any reason, since every story reveals a different thinking that is living a different living, comparing unique to unique.    May Willows was brave. But what was bravery when the day replays? And she does not scream since she stayed so brave. She screams inside looking unflappable. The terror is not found in her eyes or her soul, but within her mind. In such a life where only you know and only you feel the calamity, where is bravery? What is bravery? Comfort is difficult when the problem is a ghost. When the truth is microscopic in attempt to evade the naked eye? What is bravery when the scars reveal a story that the body cannot be true to? What then is this great bravery that one might wish to wear? What then is brave?

For all the sake of confinement, and rules, and laws, and all that is in motion, my heart rattles in its cage and roars like a beast, defying human nature. In a matter of a second, I succumb to fury. I am rage juxtaposed to a calm face. I wail and tear apart the truth, limb by limb, for denial paves way to the entrance of my home. It lives with me, dines with me, sleeps with me; a welcome resident within my haven. For when you live through the ways of love, and love in spite, (*instead of loving for the sake of loving yourself*) only to be loved because of your monetary value and the vanity gracefully done on your face, betrayal is strong and denial is natural. For all the sake of confinement, and rules, and laws, and all that is in motion, even in most literature, we see, only these people come to know love. On the other hand, when you are loved despite not having money, looks, power, and influence, they tell us it is blind, and sad. Because our faces are not on LED screens, and news outlets, or tabloids, or made into a film adaptations, in comparison, our love is fleeting, and non-existent. For all the sake of confinement, and rules, and laws, and all that is in motion, even in the love we see from those around us, we are also told this is where love is, or where it can never be found. So beauty or no beauty; money or no money, power or no power; some will never be loved and some will still be loved. As human as it is for us to deny, it is natural as well, for human beings to defy and change and have different capacities to be loved. So, love as if no screen can ever behold its depth.

In Confinement, Rules, and Laws.

People I only knew in passing- Lovers on a hotel bed, lost in the feeling of controlled chaos, ******* until the sun signals surrender, the stars burning holes in their memories that cannot be pieced together again, Brothers in different hospital rooms, two halves of one whole engine praying for a spark, to be able to stand on ones own, IV drips trickling down dreams of a brighter morning to collapsed veins and broken synapses, Sisters in opposing time zones, living out play acted scripts of the same drama in various adaptations, the first act the divine comedy, the second act the hellish tragedy, we all tend to fall somewhere in the middle with these types of things I don't know where I fit into any of this I once thought I could piece together the story from the fragments I am left with, But they're nothing more than points in a vague interest, clean surfaces for drugs, nothing to write home about Have you gotten thinner? Has your hair gotten longer? Have you slept recently? Have you left your house today? How long has it been? How many cigarettes? How many inches of rain? How many sunsets? How many phases of the moon? The last time you spoke to a ghost what did he say? Did he mention me? I am living seance, forcing questions into spaces they have no business, My art is the hand that murdered Absalom, the hand that cuts the lines of pills, the hand that slits the throat of the hydrogen future The cool, slick ************ sitting wide eyed and high in supernatural pretense, in eternal condemnation of the enemy, Don't you know if you're broke and suicidal you can just blame it on the alignment of the planets? It could all be so easy
