"assimilated" poems
i don't even know him. i only recognize his vitals rapidly diminishing on the screen before me. i'm wrong, this is wrong, everything is wrong. i'm trespassing on vulnerability. he knows; he gets it -- how this place can make you feel like hell without even trying. if belief were among my faults, indeed it would **** me to scroll again         (and again) through artificial papyrus, through reeds and lights and electronics; because every new click brings another wrench. tug at the heartstrings; what heartstrings? these leave nothing behind. because of you, i am destroyed. i am assimilated, i am protein. because of you, i am denatured. turn down your flame, nolan, there isn't enough fuel for you to burn so brightly for so long.

to the little brother of a distant acquaintance
the bottle is the bottle is the bottle is empty had its contents been precariously dealt with or drop by drop assimilated? assimilated?by the cloths of silk pashmina cashmere or the blackness of a tuxedo i might never ever know, my father forgets to the left to the left to the left of the bottle is another bottle quite smaller. it is filled with pink liquid half full--or half empty barely used by its current owner it smells like apples and by the bottles is and by the bottles is and by the bottles is a ring with two keys that open locks somewhere of COURSE! why, what else would you use a key for? the darkest alternative for a key's usage, though is to hurt some body with it metal grinding the skin and the bottles and the bottles and the bottles thrown the former can shatter the latter houses a liquid but, but, but, but, why?

Bottle and key
I absorbed, Blotted misery, Lapped with eyes, Soaked-up transgressions, Mopped-up history, Was steeped in trials, Ingested triumphs, And truly assimilated. But the ground is saturated, My prints fill With the brine Squeezed out. I am the salt on the earth, Parched and cracked. You preferred candyfloss; I dripped the last drop.

I, SpongeBob
the pitch dark symmetry of spiral engraved glossy jet black vinyl the ***** claws and webbed spiders; graced with impeccable scratch words come back around from dog day afternoon; entwined in ritual beatology technique absorbed in prowess dedication assimilated by passion; human form and synthetic resin becomes overlayed polyvinyl chloride or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals; a derivative by any other name I'll leave that nugget for the pub quiz and relax, post-Christmas stress; the street scramble bustle, embrace a pint of black magic

baby I got hours of green to edit, mondays goes dumb hard like kicking kittens like footballs leg day to finish myself off to seal my confidence into the night i hate days like these, rocky roads and nowhere to hide from the sun and the ugly, being assimilated into the lifeless machine in a lifestyle-less queue

the mother monday of mondays
the night was already crazy-wild by the time we arrived at Jarred's pool. he had a big house but we never went in 4 teens, teen dream, a dream team; but I knew deep down just what it was we snuck out for. a "transform-optional" rite, this hollow night. but I still had doubts... as Jarred offered me an aluminum can of something and I nervously said, "no thank you", the moon had proudly jut out he had a big house but we never went in. I hadn't noticed, without the moonlight, just how sharp Jarred's teeth and fingernails were. canines, ivory & sporadic. looking at me I hadn't noticed how reptilian our 2 friends were The fangs and dislocating jaws, tendrils & scales. Man-o-war for a head, giant earthworm for an arm She looked scarier than he. Those 2 went at each other in a murderous way A blood sport of sorts. Confusing to me. She spread her jaws wide - a parachute with teeth And bit down hard between his legs. Blood everywhere. Blood spattered on her face She looked ****** god-awful by then. The meat of his dead body then re-animated And assimilated with hers. Anabiosis + Differentiate Jarred, a werewolf or something like it, approached me. He had a big house but we never went in. we chatted poolside for a while he'd go harmoniously from monster to human, human to monster. Boiling cancerous growths under his fur Grew angry eyes that glared at me. clawhand on the back of my neck, he went in for a kiss (or a bite) with a puckered face and bared teeth. This is it. I finally felt a grossness so profound that I, without thinking, jumped in the pool to splish-splash, cool, to escape, whatever I opened my eyes and just floated there for a bit. hanging in the stillness trying to forget those alien freaks staring up at the moon from the bottom of a pool.

%% It’s about leveraging potential income to enhance output-maximizing sustainability … It’s about de-funding unsustainable income outcomes. It’s about results-based data-enhanced paradigm shifts. It’s about demobilizing upward mobility: dis-empowering gentrification by underfunding the over-entitled. It’s about de-funding unsustainability until the immeasurable metric is globally assimilated. It’s about the designated data-driver. It’s about memes as theme schemes. It’s about complicating competence through collaboration in collusion – intentionally replicating re-branding – effectively identifying best practices of the best-dressed actresses until the girl in the t-shirt says “meh”.

Immeasurable Outcomes
Bring me wine, but wine which never grew In the belly of the grape, Or grew on vine whose tap-roots, reaching through Under the Andes to the Cape, Suffer no savor of the earth to scape. Let its grapes the morn salute From a nocturnal root, Which feels the acrid juice Of Styx and Erebus; And turns the woe of Night, By its own craft, to a more rich delight. We buy ashes for bread; We buy diluted wine; Give me of the true, Whose ample leaves and tendrils curled Among the silver hills of heaven Draw everlasting dew; Wine of wine, Blood of the world, Form of forms, and mold of statures, That I intoxicated, And by the draught assimilated, May float at pleasure through all natures; The bird-language rightly spell, And that which roses say so well. Wine that is shed Like the torrents of the sun Up the horizon walls, Or like the Atlantic streams, which run When the South Sea calls. Water and bread, Food which needs no transmuting, Rainbow-flowering, wisdom-fruiting, Wine which is already man, Food which teach and reason can. Wine which Music is, Music and wine are one, That I, drinking this, Shall hear far Chaos talk with me; Kings unborn shall walk with me; And the poor grass shall plot and plan What it will do when it is man. Quickened so, will I unlock Every crypt of every rock. I thank the joyful juice For all I know; Winds of remembering Of the ancient being blow, And seeming-solid walls of use Open and flow. Pour, Bacchus! the remembering wine; Retrieve the loss of men and mine! Vine for vine be antidote, And the grape requite the lote! Haste to cure the old despair, Reason in Nature's lotus drenched, The memory of ages quenched; Give them again to shine; A dazzling memory revive; Refresh the faded tints, Recut the aged prints, And write my old adventures with the pen Which on the first day drew, Upon the tablets blue, The dancing Pleiads and eternal men.

How, I thought, Had I ever dreamt Alone Once upon a time, When I knew not his Fire Free from embrace, Assimilated by Solitude To revel in Egyptian cottons Desolate -- How he burns me From the inside Out I crave him, so, My sleeping Dragon The heat in his belly And beneath his Skin And I wake him When the need Arises To fill me once more With his morning Light

Sleeping Dragon
One of the most humorous conditions that a creature could burden itself with is a somnambulant desire to be to it’s own liking . Maxillary extrapolation although a positive political expectorant is likewise a practical partiality . I prefer to  be philanthropically phenological although rational impedance is my histophysiology .  My present participle is practical pragmatism and tertiary transcendentalism .  Xenoplasticly speaking I feel alone but plausibility is a probationer in reflective self awareness .  Atrociously impetuous I proceeded amidst heinously horrendous heckledom .  Adequate inflection is a relevant relative to retaliatory regression but I digress .  Paraphernalia is a practitioner to plausibility’s cause and should be assimilated through cognizance  not perfunctory preferentialism . Hegelian humanitarianism must supersede political subterfugalism or all may be lost in quagmire .

One of the saddest things to me Is how my generation Has been deceived to believe That there are rules To poetry That thought is absurd and profane I’d even take another step And call it inhumane Poetry is an expression of being A way to be free I finished writing this poem When I realized something This doesn’t just apply to poetry But to all writing Essays and poems and stories If we all wrote the same way We would be so boring Write different Write about what you want Not what they say Do the complete opposite Of their way But it’s not just about writing different It’s how your pencil Or other writing utensil Moves across the paper It’s about the breath you take Right before you pour Your heart on the white sheet It’s about the way you see So don’t just write things differently Write in your own way Create a new style And then you’ll know You’ve gone the extra mile I finished this poem again Thought now would be a great time to end And then I realized something more This isn’t just about writing This is life Break those rules Don’t conform It’s not just about breaking rules Or being some kind of lawless hipster It’s about being yourself It’s not always about where you go No, sometimes it’s about how you flow There’s something special Buried deep inside It’s chained down Release it And it will give you life Yes I guess you can follow The rules and regulations If you enjoy being assimilated Into a system That was better Before it existed You have two options Pretend you never saw this And stay hopeless Or stand up And become righteous I highly suggest the second But of course I’m biased Because I hate the idea Of being hopeless You have the ability To be something Wonderfully crazy Something that no one else can be Because you are you Different than me So be your own Not some societal clone Be you and you alone I urge you Stand against conformity Don’t be he or she or me Be something completely unique

shamed for showing too much shamed for not showing enough over ****** warrants being called a **** not ****** enough and I’m called a ***** so what am I supposed to do? never leave the comfort of my judgement free home? oh wait, that’s not true mainstream media bashing the idea of individuality sure they say they support it but if they really did would we, constantly, see the same features, plastered on magazines? trends change quickly and my body sure as heck can’t keep up that’s okay though, I was never one to conform to the societal standard the thick thighs, “fat *** skinny waist, and big ******* that I’m supposed to have, but am supposed to cover up? I’m sorry but if I had been “blessed” with those physical attributes I would not be so eager to cover them up and is “blessed” even the right word to describe what so many women have come to despise? large chests that cause back pains, the unwanted attention and ****** comments? maybe they aren’t so blessed, but are rather cursed that in a society like ours we are taught to hate ourselves no matter what instead of embracing the unique beauty that we are gifted rather than celebrate the intricate details of our souls and the crazy two A.M. thoughts that run through our minds the stunning stream of consciousness that separates us from the rest but unfortunately, we have assimilated into one bland society, where variety is shunned and everyone is the same

(footnote) 2100 years ago a band of Jews defeated the Greek army And drove them off their land, reclaiming the holy temple In Jerusalem and rededicating it to the service of god. when they sought to light the temples menorah They found only a single cruse of olive oil that escaped contamination by the Greeks. Miraculously the one day supply lasted eight days. The sages instituted the festival of Chanukah To publicize these miracles. The Dreidel which is a four sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side which means “ a great miracle happened here” was used later on in the years to give thanks to god Without the enemy knowing that they were praying. Chanukah, the Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the festival of lights, is an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. Chanukah is probably one of the best known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews (and even many assimilated Jews!) think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas, adopting many of the Christmas customs, such as elaborate gift-giving and decoration. It is bitterly ironic that this holiday, which has its roots in a revolution against assimilation and suppression of Jewish religion, has become the most assimilated, secular holiday on our calendar. Christmas and Chanukah are known world wide But these two faiths do not collide. They walk hand in hand For they came out of the promised land. You see : the son of god was born a Jew The Romans felt this was taboo. No other religion could exist This was controlled by the Romans fist. JESUS preached in synagogues throughout the lands Something that the Romans did withstand. His own people wanted his death But little did they know That with this- a new faith would grow. The cross on which he died became a symbol Of Christianity, and that’s the way God meant it to be. Chanukah is eight days of giving while the Christian Holiday is just one day ,but during these holidays we all kneel and pray. We give GOD thanks for all the beauties of the earth And for family and friends, and it is something That will never end. As long as man holds a belief in their hearts And faith,-then all will be overcome and Let GODS will be done. © L . RAMS

It's been one week, since I told you, nothing of importance. But one week, since you told me, anything, at all. How soon I forget, what it's like, not to be, at a person's disposal. How quickly I remember, that remembering is, a bother. Easy folk enjoy easy listening. A magnet that draws sound. Vibrations of different magnitudes. But visually, all the same: On a large enough body; what proceeds: A ripple on water's edge. Beauties and questions evoked. Memories that hold vehemence. Open ears that trickle red. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. A *** for a *** Sour taste, before I spit. After all that said, so it goes: She is left feeling discontent, because her friend left her behind. A friendship no longer pragmatic, left her detached and unkind. After one move against her, inadvertently made her the bad guy. Assimilated ignorance was transferred, leaving her with raging eyes. Now a maniac, but once shy. It started the day she was betrayed, and her friend left without goodbye. Friendship turned into a frivolous demise. She never thought of compromise. She will always be left on her own will. Only living each day with empty glare. While she sits cynically by her window sill. Reliving old days, and perfecting her stare. It's been one week, since I told myself, nothing of importance. But one week, since I've asked questions, and have realized that, in your twenties, you are partial to saying 'No.' Implicit No, god-forbid a subtle yes. You know yourself. You want to know yourself. You hope that you know yourself. And, In the scheme of it all, the ***** shopping mall, the empty alleyways, **** and trash, looking down at laced shoes, transcends society's social boundaries. Those little moments at the end of the day, that make you smile, are the reason you should not become frustrated. It would be the same, as letting a long car ride ruin a vacation. Thinking short-termed has never led to outstanding goals, only temporary satisfaction. Life is short, but it is long enough to learn how to pick battles. There are far more important things to worry about, than ill intent with loved ones, or even strangers. If someone steps on your shoes, let it go. Use that frustration to better yourself, and when you can, buy better shoes, and walk a mile in them.

unlike these other migrants - i remember Ilford, during the Balkan war, and the Kosovo refugees - who didn't bother to remain... refugees having this superiority complex over economic migrants... somehow victim-hood is a better economic model than skilled labor... i didn't assimilate into the English culture, i wasn't spoon-fed this multicultural ******** where some ******* Somali could speak down to me because he was bown und bwed in Cuntish Toown...          ****** can brown-beat me down with his exotica... up to a point...     i haven't been brain-washed by some ideology of assimilation / integration... i never assimilated or integrated into the English "culture"... i'll let you know... sprache über kultur - *meine treue ist zu es ist sprache, nicht es ist volk,       sogar wenn ich haben zu sprechen deutsche*! i was never assimilated or integrated into the English "kultur"... i acquired it, and by acquiring it, i acquired it to deviated from what was being prescribed... by a ghost consensus...         i never signed up to some ******* Somali brown-beating me as some minor, the always inferior, "eastern", "European"...     not a chance in hell...             *hölle erste,    besagt streit? zweite*! ...and why do you think i'm seeking escape in tickling German? i'm not exactly bugging the Ottomans - after all... one of the Axis powers...    and i love my Turkish barber... i can't imagine any other ethnicity to have perfected the trade of the barber...       who... whittle east African subsaharan Muslim with no knowledge of the Saudi slave trade of Bangladeshi workers?! mouthing off his over-priced privilege position in England?!   bingo!           no no no... i'm not assimilated, wenn es kommt bezüglich die krone?     mein antwort "bezüglich" eine krone?                 die ich von gott:                  ist der ein und erst krone! i didn't integrate or assimilate into this "kultur"... i made a claim for this sprechen...   da ist nicht kultur                              außen die zunge! which is why i have to tease German, the old father... of the English tongue... because? because i find the English language plagued... and i'm puritanical at herz.

***Fed upon your metaphors like a zombie's lust for blood howl'd at the moon in your verbose verbiage's alliteration piece by piece, like Frankenstein's monster you conjur'd me whole sucked out the guts and laid me flat in ghostly passages twisted cravings dwelling 'tween light and darkness assimilated in your inky draft dancing amuck within your tangled webs just the other side of nightmare's exposure drinking in the sea of your heaving tidal steamers punch drunk in phantasmal's obsession high voltage flipped me over like an abstract Dali painting's w***e I come away ghastly satiated, macabre though it may seem thrills and spills in every tempting morsel of affecting poetry's sinful appetite***

Fed upon your metaphors...
In 1984, I assimilated this southern drawl and slow sly wit. Whilst i felt so foreign, at first, and had to sit in the woods alone and meditate, I met this one gopher tortoise one day. He slowly startled me when he stuck his long neck out and offered me a bite of a gopher apple. It tasted like the bubble gum I used to get with Detroit Tiger baseball cards in. We slowly became best friends. I met his convex mate and others with his first name he generously shared his burrow with. His home was home to crickets frogs and snakes, he asked me to join them. I was too big, of head or ego, I really don't know, why I did not join him. I still wander the woods where frequent fires have burned, and find on sand hills, among the creamy white flowers and ***** stems, the gopher apples. And plant them in memory of my friend, so slow and wise. I see him time to time, but find him rare and rarer.

Gopher tortoise and wild apples
# I. Antiquity and the Architecture of Will In the shadowed corridors of antiquity, where gods were built with teeth and altars stood not for reverence but for control, the Temple of Bel rose as a monument to ********** disguised as divinity. Bel—an assimilated god from earlier Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian traditions—was not the god who walked with man. He was the god who towered above him, demanded sacrifice, and soaked prayer in the blood of repetition. From the earliest Mesopotamian systems, the act of worship was not about communion, but compulsion. To invoke was to command. To chant was to erode the will of another until it cracked under rhythmic insistence. Whether by priest or supplicant, the act was the same: submission by saturation. --- II. The Weaponization of Sound: Chant and the Rhythmic Spell Repetition was not mere ceremony. It was siege. Chants—carefully crafted phonetic loops—were not benign rituals. They were linguistic architecture meant to house spirits, to summon presence not for beauty, but for enforcement. These were incantations with purpose: to bend the will of another through the veil of mysticism. In this light, poetry—at its inception—was not always art. It was often sorcery. The earliest poems were enchantments. They masked seduction as devotion. They twisted longing into ******* They were rhythmic netting, carefully knotted to catch the weak of will and the fractured of self. --- III. The Modern Construct: Echoes of an Ancient Spell Those who hide behind the aesthetic of antiquity today still wear the same rings of power. When a poet writes to control—when they loop trauma like a mantra, repeat seduction as if it were depth, mimic spiritual language to inspire compliance—they are no different than the priests of Bel. They are modern invokers, cloaked in digital incense, spreading spells under the guise of free expression. Their readers are not disciples. They are targets. The “construct” is not a movement. It is a spell. A liturgy without light. A series of hollow echoes designed to flatten identity, rewrite pain into performance, and reward the wound that sells. --- IV. The Severance of Echo: Where the Rhythm Ends If you must chant, let it be to awaken, not ****** If you must repeat, let it be to remember truth, not reshape it. The false liturgies of old were not killed. They were digitized. We will not respond with louder poems. We will not echo their echo. We will respond with silence where needed, and light where earned. We will write not to possess, but to set free. We will bring antiquity not as ornament, but as witness. Because we remember the Temple of Bel. And we are here to break it. Let those who recite in darkness meet the rhythm of truth. #

Altars of Control: A Theological and Psychological Dissection of the Spirits of Bel and the Legacy of Coercive Invocation

I'm pretty sure all poetry has left me. As if it just packed up and hit the road. Like my words no longer dance or sing. Like they have forgotten all melodies. Assimilated tone deafness. Compound letdowns retract vulnerabilities. Brick walls and leather skin replace possibilities. Reckless love and whimsical fantasies, Replaced by ***** diapers and piles of laundry. Consonants and vowels blend to mush. Aches and accomplishments are one in the same. All of my agony has turned to apathy, And I wonder. How could I let poetry walk away from me? How have I become so broken that I can no longer write? Words have no ability to woe me. Vocabulary is no longer my saving grace. Void of creativity. Like somehow life has gotten too messy for me to express. Series of catastrophes and celebrations run together. And I feel lost. And I feel blessed. But oh so empty. Poetry come back to me.

Poetry Has Left Me
Come marauder, sword unscabbarded, lay   siege by deceit, wound mortal my coil again: I live in aeons where millennia are puddles - you will be assimilated, your venom spat out. What of nations but the notions of separation, people go, languages die like colours and petals but here lies anchored, the soul of the world. Deep in that recess where no man has gone, by moonless nights, unfurled ancient the song of the stars flowing in  distant skies Who knows when time began? Who clocked the beginnings? Here I asked of nought and nigh, here the endless vast, and out of a featureless past speaks the wisdom that lights continents afar heroic the call to selfless action in the field of war. Here was love born, in all her colours, and the lore of the unhinged compassion of the liberated soul here I asked of the highest god, why none above? and came war beating its chest, lust laden again pillage and plunder of the savage kind but, I live, I live, I live, I live in the cave temples of the unknown world, I live in the music of the evening sun, I live in the dance of the spirit drunk of love, I live in the ruins whose soul is beyond plunder, I rise towering from the ashes, There - flies the wheel of law on the horizon high There is yet a mighty dawn waiting to rain down light on the veiled world, free free, I am a spark of that thirsting fire!

Freedom - 2
you want war, you have world war two spitfire pilots to serve your post-colonial migration; and yes, i'll twitch my eyes; ha ha cuisine scots using ginger. there's a quintessential fascination with cabbage among the mutli-cultural asians of england being picky concerning scandinavians and the slavs... politico i could say as much about indian spices.. but they're granulated i admit, so there's less stink in the armpits; or there isn't, given chanel cardamom: assimilated asians into british society don’t use raw herrings and cabbage to joke about other european ethnicities while waving the st. george of that great fake curry of suffolk. *i've been telling the turks about sauerkraut for years to match up a purposive additive for the lamb kebab; sours to cut through the lamb fat like the chillies cutting through.*
