NAVARASA#2: WONDER
Mind, like a deciduous forest has lost all its foliage, all leaves torn away by the autumnal blasts The brain where great schemes were concocted is now an abyss where spiders sway It is bare – dismally barren of all memories – sweet and sour Like a kite afloat in the boundless sky moving nowhere, but as the wind directs, cut out from the past, turned from the present with the future yet to surge from the abyss or like serpents intertwining,     hissing in turmoil within the brain, unable to sense the gusty blast, or hear the whispering air, dead to sounds that disturb, deaf to songs that soothe, like a phantom he moves weird, drifting far away to a space and time impenetrable   with nothing to make the mind agog or depress it to let out a sigh. Loitering on roads without hurrying feet with no bliss coming on the way to run or hasten to embrace or fear to be missed sore passing through dark labyrinthine tunnels forever barred with no exit churned in oblivion, oblivious of all, he remains a spectral facsimile of his onetime self plummeting into a black hole The pulse of a heart beat is all that keeps him alive,   all else is dead…… !   with dreary nights ahead that shall not know another morrow

Dementia
The Decider-in-Chief made another hard decision, rebebilitatin a debilitating Gaddafi. The Agog Decider sleekly peeked into the bleak soul of the master Bedouin. The Pious Decider peered pretty deeply, so its hard to tell what his arcane rebelations revealed. Some say The Jaundiced Decider, saw the desert bleeding deliciously malicious sweet crude onto the scabby tongues of Halliburton Executives while Big Time Vice Dickey Boy ****** a petrol nozzle dry, licking the dripped drops that drizzled from the shoot hole, so as not to waste a precious drop to satiate the black viscous goo coursing through the ebony veins of his chingling heart. Others say The Condoning Decider sized up the man and saw a brother-in-arms in the fight against The Evil Doers; yet failed to see the revolting obscenities his new comrade-in-arms inflicted upon his own body politic. The Forgetful Decider, blessed with amnesia forgot Lockerbie and applauded BP's royal court of justice for pardoning all perps. The Oblivious Decider's near sightedness failed to foresee a brewing blow-back amassing in the desert winging its way home on the blasting sands of a blistering Saharan sirocco. The Pollyannish Decider envisioned grand spectacles, only happy visions of Beyonce, JZ, Usher and the Def Jam Buddha Russell Simmons yodeling filthy lucre tunes, sending giggling tweets while partying down with Muammar's posse of martinets and way cool far out crazy execs drunk with the power that blinds the eye to all discernment. The Decider decides. Music Selection: Lady Ga Ga Beyonce, Telephone Oakland 3/3/11 jbm

Autumn, like an Indian classical dancer, dressed up Arrives with soft rhymes and quickening steps She comes aglow, aglow with a rare beauty Dancing to the bracelet's tinkling song Her floating robe falls in deep folds around her feet As she mesmerizes all with moves full of grace Viewing the flaming colours in assorted display We are apt to wonder if Nature carefully saved up All that is best for the closing grand finale Autumn tints look enchanting all through the land With pervading green, offset by crimson, citrus yellow Flaming red, lustrous gold and a faded russet The air stays crisp and sweet in the ripening fields While stray clouds ramble in flawless turquoise sky When autumn is thus all agog like a frenzied dervish It gives us morbid pictures of death and decay The trees wrestle to free themselves of their worn cloaks Causing a cascade of withering autumn leaves Now they fall scattered in endless stream and lie in piles Like charred carcasses after a fierce forest fire The rustle of dry leaves blown by the wind Falls in our ears with the gabble of migrating birds Pale sunshine sifts through leafless trees of maple and oak All those leaves once stayed regal in stations high But now tossed out like worthless chaff They come nose diving and fall several meters below Spreading a hazel curtain over the moist earthen crust When trampled mercilessly by careless feet They silently mourn their thankless fate Graying that comes at the end of each autumnal fall Reminds us of the pall of gloom that awaits It is disturbing like the parting song of birds As they fly southward before the fall of winter

The oxygen tastes so familiar I’m sure that I've breathed this before The day trickles in through the curtains The draft shuffles under the door The sunlight ambushes my pillow And forces me further a field The cat at the door wants his breakfast The bells of the church are all peeled But there's little to gain by awakening To remind me of all that I miss When I hold you its like you're a statue And you push me away with a kiss The cars rattle by on their business And the postman enrages the dog The wind asks around for directions And leaves all the shutters agog My quilt is beginning to stifle And my neck, with a threatening creak Gives a preview of oncoming headaches In a language too easy to speak But uncomfortable I persevere With a risible snore and a hiss Because soon I'll turn over to face you And you'll push me away with a kiss

Hostile Affection
Is there anything as special As a sister's love? They are right there with you When push comes to shove! They fight for you Have light for you To show you that they care They grow with you And sow with you The mem'rys you both share Sometimes they may not agree Sometimes even fight But that's because they want the best And they know what's right! It's my sister's birthday And I want her to see She is near and she is dear In my memory So here is a story I remember from her past It tells of her character She's a fighter to the last! ~~<♡>~~ When my sister was still going to the University of Arizona here in Tucson, she had a motorcycle. Which had a proclivity for breaking down. Well, it was getting on toward summer. And the bike broke down many miles from where her mechanic was located. She had no money to get it towed. So my hundred and twenty pound sister pushed that heavy motorcycle all the way to the dealership! The mechanic was agog! He couldn't believe she had lugged that motorcycle all that way! He told her, "Honey, you have some ***** This is the way my sister is. Beautiful, brilliant, and brave! I am very proud of her, and I'm honored to be her sister! ♡ Catherine

Sisters
I wish I had a thousand trips around our lovely star So that I could go back and forth to kingdoms near and far. To soar forever, taking time, enjoying every bit, And bathing in the sky of love for every mind I lit. The bows I'd take, the vows I'd make, new friends for every day. I'd trek alone, all by myself, about the Milky Way. I'd smile back and share the tears of strangers and of kin. I'd live my life and help live theirs – no virtue and no sin. I'd fly with bats and swim with whales across the ocean blue. I'd walk the line, I'd take the stage, I’d chuff and churn for you. I'd learn to live and learn to love and learn to breathe again. I’d salvage bygone knowledge that I’m but another man. I'd break the ice, I'd warm the hearts, I'd open all the doors Which lead right to the fields of stars as my life runs its course. I'd reap and rove, I'd rave and roam, relentlessly reborn, Reluctant to let go but still – I’d mend the pages torn. I’d show myself – and let it spread – the message of pure love: First love yourself, thy neighbour then, and last – the sky above, Find strength within, the courage true, the potency of wit, And don’t regret the choices made nor every second split. I’d crawl and dash and dive and rise, oblivious of time. I’d juggle fates and bend the rules, incessant in my prime. I’d teach and preach, I’d do and dare, defying night and day. I’d swear and slur, I’d speak and stare as my time ticks away... But life’s too short, and I don’t get to have one thousand trips And all I want to ask for is a plethora of blips – A-blurred, aghast, agog, alight, astonishingly apt – I’d be forever in their debt, tumultuously rapt. And on my final trip around, I'd love to sail away… To throw that fond glance at the moon And die another day. October – Movember ‘16

A log on the river Time keeps on flowing The past comes quicker Than the future can keep growing No more retrospective Only blinders forward No more fresh perspective Only preying to an earthly lord When the future is waiting Nobody can stay To maintain your daydream Again ends the day A fighter against the current Gets stuck in time A victim less prurient Than the status quo’s kind No longer is the present So long is the future Condemned to be a resident Of a time so impure All we do and see Only a chip in the log Flowing against our plea To stop and stare agog No more wonderment Desire long gone for us A race without an end Slowly approaches the finish But waves crash even in the river Divine nature swaying in the balance Fighting for our lives, we find a giver Beaten against a timely phalanx A river runs and grows weary As our oars are sacrificed A happy race no longer cheery Our hopes and dreams put on ice

A Log on the River
It was only a tiny village then Away from the thoroughfare, Had existed since I don’t know when With a grassy village square, There were only seven ancient cars In the narrow village streets, And none of them travelled very far For the shop stocked milk, and treats. It hadn’t seen much of progress since The days of old King John, Who’d lost his jewels in The Wash, by Mintz Near the town of Oberon, The villagers there were set in ways That caused nobody harm, But when Lars came from Oberon There was cause to feel alarm. For Lars was the local planner for The town of Oberon, He’d dragged it kicking and screaming Into the century just gone, He’d widened streets, and cancelled Meets In the old stone Mason’s Hall, By bulldozing their building, leaving Folk with a low stone wall. He’d passed it all with an ordinance That had given him total power, The council caved to his arrogance, All that he did was glower, He put street lights on the corners, and He acted like a prince, And when he was done with Oberon He set his sights on Mintz. He drove on down to their village square And he said it wouldn’t do, He’d turn the square to a thoroughfare So the cars could drive right through, He didn’t care when the people there Said ‘Leave our square alone!’ He said, ‘I’m passing an ordinance, So you might as well go home.’ The local hall was agog that night There’d never been such a crowd, The villagers all were up in arms, ‘This fool shouldn’t be allowed!’ ‘This calls for a special meeting,’ said The spokesman, Rupert Bragg, ‘We’ll have to call on the village witch, The widow, Nancy Stag!’ They all poured out of the village hall And they went to see the witch, Who was busily mixing potions in A cauldron and a dish, ‘You’ll not be needing my magic,’ said Old Nancy, with a smile, ‘If you all agree with my plan, you’ll see, That Lars will run a mile.’ She asked the women to stay behind While the men went on their way, ‘I mean the ones over seventy, The rest can go or stay,’ They huddled up with the village witch And applauded Nancy’s plan, ‘We’ll send him scuttling off from Mintz, You’ll see, he’s only a man!’ When Lars came down in his private car They met him in the square, Holding banners and placards, but That’s not what made him stare, ‘You’d better get back to Oberon Or we’ll march there, for our rights,’ He turned, and hurriedly left the square, They all were dressed in tights!’ David Lewis Paget

We were once all agog for the journey of life Now just a mouse click leaves curiosity cured Nescience masquerading as artificial cognizance is rife Likes, follows, comments, thoughts and prayers lured A slayer of ambition gave birth to the lazy No will to work, no will to think, just click this link And complain all day about how your life is crazy Stare at the screen as if forgotten how to blink Welcome to Medusa's social media inc. Share every feeling that's on your mind Arachne's weaving web now interlinks A Giger painting has become mankind It's embarrassing It's depressing It's caressing It's inheriting The natural beauty that lies outside Left only viewed through filtered photos Language devolved into hieroglyphic emoji replies Tobler's ambition left reposed Curiosity and ambition subdued A final word Adieu

Erotomechanics VIII
The brilliance of stupidity, the civil society is stunned to see on what media is all agog, in these, even otherwise ,volatile days of  vote bank skullduggery, is an ill begotten progeny of skewed intelligence gone on an  unprotected vacation to Paris (quite recently, when the city was in disarray) resulting in spending a long weekend of sin with vapidity as the preferred regular escort and nocturnal companion.

The stupid brilliance of a vapid mind
Society, the nectarous drenched **** of gregarious giving. Or so we think.. One must be diligent to not consume to the point of overweening upon her intoxicating milk. "You can be anything" she coos delicately stroking your forehead. My bleary scruffed state prevents me from feeling her venomous ***** I am rendered limp set agog by the hypnagogic melody of society. Then there is you... Your Wild renegade eyes pry me from my cemented prison. Your Voltaic energy seeped in the poetry that coats my marrow and enamel, the substance of my soul. Such beauty estranged from society? How can that be? Was this matronly epicenter all farce and rigamarole? I clamor in search for those eyes to appease my pain. I search in vain.. until I face the mirror. Those eyes belong to me, the remedy to society is the awakening of yourself, the claiming of your poetry.

big apple pantomime
Stage lights burn out. I am left agog. Eyes drop incredulously as what I saw before me was very restoring. A story of humanity, a Shakespearian epic, a turbulent tempest that hit me with the fierceness of Hamlet. As Othello’s hands wrapped around his beloved neck, as Thibault killed Mercutio As Ariel and Puck played their trickster games, as Prospero planned, and Oberon dawned his elvish Armor, as Titania loved an *** and saw false love pass; As the thorny crown of King Richard passed then passed again whilst he ruminated nearly naked in a cell of dirt and stone, alone, halfway mad before he made it there. As Caesar bled betrayed by Brutus in the Ides of March, I await more wonders for Shakespeare has so much more I have yet to get to. I am descended from that poet’s heart. who passed down his purchased arms of false nobility to become a man of property not knowing his plays would make him greater than any noble man of his day. After all the pleasure I sit in awe and ponder, what if he had the eyes to see what faces us presently would he wonder at the cleverness of us or cower at the current level of our stupidity?

Shakespeare
This is the tale of the Kid’s doll, the wallygog. A doll meant to look like A pale pitiful human hog With a clammy white body With wimpy yellow hair And blue button eyes, And cotton belly to spare. It is so unattractive that It must be that this toy Is meant to insult them, White girls and boys, So that playing with it Puts them in their place As objects of ridicule Laughs in the white face. Because look how sad, With wan sewn-open lips And imitation Gap clothes Sewn to shoulder and hip. How foolish and rude Is this toy made by fools. Who can truly ignore What is meant by this tool? Yet is so popular now The silly Wallygog today; Some children refuse As they grow, to set it away. They carry it around And it leaves me agog That they never understand What it means, this Wallygog.

THE WALLYGOG
I need an auditorium to whisper some secrets into. I need a small room to shout the pure absurdity that I’ve been thinking I need a place where I can hug in secret I need a voice to caress my mind, agog I need some solitude to fly me into those arms I need the perfect words to drive me away from broken promises I need the largest imagination to tell me what the **** I’m going to do next.

Thought it, Thunk it, Dunk it.
Every drop of blood slaves shed beneath the lash and rod was repaid in kind at Sharpsburg by the terrible swift sword. Twenty three thousand Sacrificed in joint sanquinity to debate the principle that all men should live free. At Burnside's bridge, on the sunken road, The Landscape dripping red. The wounded called for water as they lay among the dead. At the Whitewashed Dunker church the Dutchmen stood agog as the fearful toll was paid by brave souls on either side.

What Would I Do Without You? (Or Scribbling in the Car) What would I do without you, lexicon? What would I do without you, dear thesaurus? Rhyming book to rhyme with -saurus: chorus, porous, e’en papyrus if it fits? Wiki’s storehouse ‘cyclopedia? Little things that make me big and ‘pigg*: Languages that set agog The richness of the word? So much I would  not do without; And isn’t that what life’s about! Mind so connected to the word, I would think Without a varied herd of word T’would shrink. T’would atrophy, T’would wear away, Become cliché As cliché wears away the play From boredom’s lack of stimulation. So connected is the action of the word To all the wisdom, the absurd in all the minds in all the world Of minds and hearts unaired, impaired… Is mind to word. *pigg is Swedish for lively, spirited What Would I Do Without You…Mind So Connected To The Word 7.19.2018 The Processes: Creative, Thinking, Meditative II; Arlene Nover Corwin

We know not of that Woman, though ‘tis known that for years she has begged for death. what marred such a creature? unsought furtherance, everlasting atrocity, or a centaur, agog martyrs and honor, ‘tis certain that, once the castles are built, their emperors, though drunk on *** and branded by adulation, shall ascend. but does fame bespeak an eternity of pandemonium? Perchance.

The Merchant’s Lady II
I came across a strange man while walking on my land perched upon a rock at me he waved his hand as I approached him offering this ,he said "I have arrived here on this rock at this present time" "I am here to meet a fellow traveler of time" I stared at him agog not believing what I heard He said that on this spot his arrival had been planned I thought he asked what time it was so I produced my watch he slowly shook his head and slyly ,he mocked " What precisely is the year?" he asked as he sat back on the rock I started to relay an answer to the man the year is 2768 that we are standing in His eyes grew large his face turned white the blood just drained away grasping at my shoulders he asked "What year did you say?" again I told him the year in which he had arrived He screamed aloud and clutched his head "why oh why oh why?" "Why have I arrived here so badly misplaced in time?" "all that I have known is now dust,just left behind" "700 years ago my counterpart was here" "I wonder how long he waited" and did he remain here?" I asked him the name of this counterpart of his I laughed aloud as he relayed a name that I knew well he rattled off the name of my ancestor and me Our family had arrived here oh so long ago but it never was explained just how this spot was chose it seems clear enough now that he is standing here the man standing before me was responsible it appears for our people to have arose from the very dust of this tiny lonely rock floating through the dusk As I explained these facts the man began to grin "It looks as though our meeting Has ..

Lisas and Cheryls in halter tops walk the Halls of Stoughton High full Throttle, coiffed fleece fiercely feathered, Tonys and Tims trawling in tow, toting Texts. Tims and Tonys slip Slyly away, skip shop, talk **** **** a doob behind Bob’s Baitshop’s garbage dunes, tunes of Geils and Seeger and Stones, applaud Lisas and Cheryls, laud deserving Donnas and Dianes (but dude, don’t Let on!) See, A solitary Tony takes to one shapely Cheryl’s sultry swagger, staggers, blathers His rathers, turning her hair’s fair feathers A-flair, she helping his hand higher up her hip, her Cup, her concupiscent luscious lower lemon-lacquered lip, he agog, a ***** Dog with a bone. And a libidinous loner Lisa prefers a particular turgid Tim, digs His Doors tee tucked In to tight tan cords, affords Herself a longer linger as his fingers Dangle, thick thumbs hooked in belt. Looked at, Felt, ***** his hip, flips a nod, draws a Sneer, paws her rear, she his Haunch, he steady and Staunch, Steady and Staunch Not gonna Launch Steady gawdamnsunuvabitch! Thaws the sneer Right there. High gears it outta here.

Lascivious '79
Remark, pageant, how well this worn Cartesian speaks silence instead of wit. Crucify maybe and often; singsong prattle succumbs him you. Torturified lamb’s breath, teensy sighs and sweep of tentacled agog garners attention and wildfire – hop and home to not attend, to see. Brandish magma wake and crystal cleanse re-barb, vicious cycle in heat patterned pro-guiro neural network, neat, loud for senses laden. Up them and through them. Scent the seeks you stones in barb, a fence in white a guttered prose, slitherentine. Stately made his gatekeep - defend you. Harbor outwards with willpower nonchalant. Pardon his with provocations, decadent don’t they know. (You know you, don’t they?) And then.

ACT II (abbreviate clandestine tendencies, abbreviate clandestine tendencies)
*A Pale thick fog, A dark moonless night, To live forever we're agog, Until death angel comes, When your time runs out, He finds you no doubt, To lay your soul to waste, To lay your soul out of this life, You can hear nothing but him whispering, Calling your name and death murmuring, You see nothing but his face, With every single breath, You smell nothing but death, You have no excuse, You can't say no for death, You can never refuse, A dead horse you flog, If you look for clues, Only life to lose, No options, it's fate, You can never choose.*
