"bifurcated" poems
Soft curdled interior now at its eutectic Holds a bifurcated square of gluten Equally carbonized together In an **** of ill-advised but sensual nutrition

The Ghastly Choices

S3 Sleepless, Shuffling In Stockholm Somewhere in my body, A bifurcated clock ticks, Two clock faces, White on black, Vice versa. Mixed media messages, Crazy train station internal, Brain activity fevered, Arrive/depart according to Somebody else's schedule, Somebody else occupying, Every street of my body Lying asleep, Typing these words, It is the middle of the night, Bright daylight suffuses the room What part of my metaphysical schema, Ain't jet lagged legally, And poetically entitled to be Stockholm Syndrome Confused? Times have really changed, Oh my, when you propose, Let's go to Stockholm, Anything goes! So my schedule reordered In the land of either all Light or Dark, twenty hours four, I turn to my boon companion, Who soothes at any hour, My music, my Nano, And I find myself, musically, Shuffling in Stockholm. Meatloaf and Piazzolla, Muddy Waters and Purple Rain, Marvin Gaye and Pink Martini, Beethoven, Straight No Chaser, Beatles, Stones, Bennett vs. Buble, The lack of sleep a permanent fixture, Courtesy of this Bach-us admixture, So should you see a gappy, khaki, clad tourist, Meandering o'er the islands of this charming city, In Ingmar Bergman fashion, Black and white erratic, Alternating, swaying and shuffling, No tongue clucking, Nah, he's not drunken, Just dancing while sight seeing, In a sleep deprived manner, Someday a movie to be, Sleepless, Shuffling In Stockholm A/K/A S3 June 30 ~ July 2, 2012 Stockholm, Sweden

S3 - Sleepless, Shuffling In Stockholm
To read or watch movies, that is the question. When tired at workday's end, depressed about death's certainty and my recent surgery unable to contribute purpose i.e., figure out whether to bomb Iran or worship Krshna and other gods such as Homer gives us in the Iliad I lack vision therefore I choose television. Chemistry text, bifurcated plant key esp. grasses, intro to calculus, physics unopened time slides by inexorably. That's the dilemma with no resolution, drooping rachis, striations on the lemma. Dying chooses you. You don't choose dying. So go slow as the day will allow. The cancer patient's real work is facing harsh realities and making adjustments: getting the most out of life, considering what his children will need after he's gone, preparing his wife, parents, colleagues and friends, and completing important professional tasks. Get the most out of life. That's all God asks. In Life of Pi the tiger is tiresome, short-sighted eating everything in sight today, no plan for tomorrow. The boy, however, is beautiful, reading the lifeboat manual, building a resting place on the ocean from oars and life vests, writing about his emotions, loneliness and observations. The tiger's obsession with killing keeps our boy alive with fear, an aphrodisiac, a distraction from any hint of hopelessness. And then there is the ultimate unknown, the boy's conversations with Krshna which explain the innumerable stars and their gentle glow.

Get the Most Out of Life of Pi
pale shadows of flung anger  fault towards your toothless call economy of silent fury    shell your bones    shell your bones crow feather    ggarbled fflight   plot by plot fall quiet spill      the knell ossified    brittle ruptures of foam pour take it out take it out take it out take it out speak in silence   lacerated gaze **** or have killed   bifurcated for your own good,   possibility will be revoked the only choice      blood on your hands or blood in your throat   till all     the internal haemorrhages resonate and spill the world to dust to dust to

no excuse
I dare to feel, with searching fingers, a bifurcated wish to take the path to you or the one that leads to me. I dare to feel, asking only from you, my sweet, your thoughtful understanding. My naked vulnerability to your alluring charms, that I, that we, could be washed with rain, As if lust and sin Could be so easily entertained. I dare to feel, I dare to feel, the disappointment I know will come, will come, as our bridge decays with the vanity that is your way. Or is it MY WAY?

Bifurcation my way
There are small galaxies in salt grains And sandbags in superclusters. An arm extends from the minor and one punches from the major. In a light state of being both little and big, one hand tells me I'm major Another tells others they're minor. Both hands nontheless hit hard. One much like a thron bush The other like a lotus flower. Neither major, both minor.

Bifurcated
Bifurcated, broken thing, longing to belong again, hangs with hangmen from a string along a wall of wallowing. Speak of pain, he speaks no more but rasps his voice against the door. Save me, sir, what is in-store? Salesmen smile and take the floor. Cauterized with spit 'til dry lies the spider with the fly. Of one, blood made two one-alike. Awry, awry, what's left is right. Lonesome at last what alone begins, ten hundred is but ten handfuls of ten. The hunted, hungered will soon bends as all are lost as all will end.

Millenial
It cannot go unspoken this time. Split in twixt, bifurcated, so one half couldn't recognize the whole. Blindfolded by rage, scarred by the ravages of what if's, the open metaphor for pain. Removing myself from the standards I began to set. Unrealistic, out of reach, unattainable. Blurring my vision, by bended elbow, making excuses faster than solutions; sinking slowly without a branch, only an empty bottle to adhere to. The calamity called for peace, and I've listened. Her hand innocuous at first, now radiant, strong, and sensual. Grasped hold of me, ripping me up from my rotting moorings. Providing proof there's still strength in my devices, my incentives, in my hopes lie my dreams. It will never again go unspoken through my action, it will be heard careening off foundations, piercing eyes, and lancing ears. Words conversed by glance, and through touch. Reformed, refined by the beautiful touch of the divine. It will never go unspoken again. Once broken picked up, and loved back together. It will never again be unspoken. The words, the elegance, the clarity, it all must be perfect, perfectly annunciated. In me I've found freedom. Through you I am once again welcomed into your kingdom.

Rotting Moorings
I never realized How many birds There really are They seem to melt Into the landscape As they hop To and fro In the manicured Suburban shrubs And pepper the sky Floating in place Against some unfelt Wind current While walking I locked gazes with A slate colored dove And we stared I don't know how He felt about me Or what he felt About me I thought he was Elegant Even though he was The color of fresh tar While it bakes In the Pennsylvania sun In some hazy culdesac In the corner of some Replaceable Reproducible Childhood He hopped off his perch A rusty sign post That had been bifurcated By some unknown Bolt or hand And skittered behind some Sickly looking ferns In a dirt patch of an Unknown neighbors yard A gang of Robins Flittered over my head Landing down the street Passing a pinecone Between them Pecking and tearing at it I looked behind The sickly ferns And found the Unknown neighbors cat Doing the same thing To my slate colored dove I shooed it away It dropped the dove Hastily In the loose dirt And retreated I looked down at the dove And it laid there Its breast heaving Silent One eye cast into the dirt The other looking up Watching the same Robins Fly back to where They had come from And the slate slowly Turned sanguine As its down became Saturated with the Run off from the Puncture wounds The cat sat off A few yards away Flicking its tail Calico and smug And I stood by The dove as The heaving slowly Stopped Ground to a Halt really And then the eyes Weren't looking At the sky or the dirt I finally felt That unseen Wind And continued On my way

She and I, we lived completely different lives like night and day trying not to be afraid of being in between. I've seen a dark sky eclipse the brightest days, the highways drenched in complete silence a timeless space where no cars are passing by and you and I were forever destined to go separate ways, except we weren't really moving. I've lived through the Hellos and I've survived the goodbyes the wind might cry but I'm certain we were meant to part... Because she and I, we lived completely different lives like tangent lines, never meant to be together forever just an effort to prolong the possibility of being apart. Because she and I, we lived completely different lives...

Bifurcated Lives
***These denizens of creation fall short in our bifurcated minds.. We render ourselves as the conscious ones find disfavor on those below.. Yet now with a quantum question we ask who is conscious and consulting our experience which is always at ready an answer returns: not dogs, not cats, not plants or rocks and amazingly not our divided selves.. The quantum question receives its answer: only consciousness is conscious.. This fearful response settles into freedom for all those dogs and cats and all...***

♥V♥ Here, the bifurcated portal gateway of expanding life smiles rebirth – transcends the Mortal . . . splits the double you of wife. Hail the great democratizer; let us all salute the Queen – Mankind’s rosy equalizer: She Whose Splendor Reigns Unseen. Treasure trove of procreation, tunnel of love and fleshly muse, membrane of illumination, countryside’s exciting views . . . ***** played to heights celestial, bio-rhapsody exposed proving that our best is ******* and our earthly home foreclosed: Grant us now behold thy beauty, worship at thy humid throne. Let mankind discharge his duty in your sacred pleasure-zone. Though Somali blades despise you, though your maidenhood offends, Egypt’s night will not disguise you nor separate you from your friends.

Were you well as sunlight's ascendancy left darkening footnotes everywhere? Their cerebral pitch and polish-- non compos mentis, were you well? Stalactited as Nostrefaru's leaking enamel...emergent, crooked shape of a shifting focal point overspread to no more of itself. Your sun hissed as it plumbed its depth...covert feelers circumscribed the injunction of tongue caught at speak, bifurcated and serpentine. Wherefrom runnels of india ink ran, corresponded with stones to their haphazard period, numb with duplication...broken down nervously.
