"knowledgeable" poems
I pick up the skirt, I pick up the sparkling beads in black, this thing that moved once around flesh, and I call God a liar, I say anything that moved like that or knew my name could never die in the common verity of dying, and I pick up her lovely dress, all her loveliness gone, and I speak to all the gods, Jewish gods, Christ-gods, chips of blinking things, idols, pills, bread, fathoms, risks, knowledgeable surrender, rats in the gravy of 2 gone quite mad without a chance, hummingbird knowledge, hummingbird chance, I lean upon this, I lean on all of this and I know: her dress upon my arm: but they will not give her back to me.

For Jane: With All The Love I Had, Which Was Not Enough
I kissed a boy, Who's neck was bare from faith. Empty all around. His lips tasted like sin , But his touch felt like nearby repenting. I wonder what his mother would have thought. I wonder if those knowledgeable creases placed on his neck mean more to me than it does to him. This was inspired off of the work of 'Atheist on a Date'. I wish I knew who to credit, but I don't. None of the less, all credit goes to whoever wrote this masterpiece. I hope you enjoy the reply. *Original Poem: “I kissed a girl Wearing a cross Around her neck Her lips didn’t taste Like church But her hips Felt like god I wonder what Her pastor would Have thought I wonder if that Cross around her neck Meant more to me Than it does To her”*

A date with an Atheist.
Beautiful summer day. You know you're gonna die that's why you know no joy unless religion, tv, stories, sports matter. For men like us dying's easy, it's living that's hard. And since dying's much like living, that's hard too. There's some contentment in letting community decide your place in it. A good day to die, the Apaches say. Can't stop the quince from blossoming or my sons from smoking, speeding. The best that can be done or said's a blessing. Less tv, less guessing about the effects of your anger unless you want to be an angry man forever. Becoming knowledgeable is the best defense against your insignificance. OK about being alone. Alive, almost sure of it. Whether I'm a visitor to my life or the actual owner. Mature poets steal, most are masturbators. There are a million poets, I'm poet #500K. Plenty of mysteries, infinite philosophies, prayers, laws and unwritten rules. That's why we go to school, life's complicated. All I do not know: ATP, probabilities, the glorious revolution, meiosis and mitosis and all I'll never see, the bottom of the ocean, the palm at the end of the mind, a wolverine. Forget-me-not, is that all I want? To get lucky, you gotta be careful first. To be great, you gotta be willing to sound BAD. In last night’s movie, a young writer and an older, married with children French woman fall in love. They did not meet during a village massacre and money is no object, Manhattan. But after everything has happened she cannot leave her children, not even for love, because of love, the love that brooks no serendipity. In the subsequent late night movie, a wealthy altruistic doctor arranges for the ****** of his neurotic concubine. His guilt provides us with an opportunity to consider the concepts of faith and forgiveness, that all will be well in the end after a period of meaningless suffering.

Dear America, Do not call my generation stupid. We were the first group of kids to learn a computer. Think about that society: A group of kids learned this intricate machine. Yes, I'm talking about the O.G. Apples with the green type where you had to save with a floppy disk and if you put a magnet to the screen it went purple forever. Yes those, same kids grew up and created everything you see before you now. Everyday. Do not call my generation ignorant. In a short time span of years, as children, we learned about oral relations with interns and terrorist attacks. From Clinton's impeachment to the World Trade Centers/Pentagon/Flight93 Somerset. As children we learned; emphasis on the children part. Our minds grew knowledgeable of a world at hand long before society gave us credit. We grew up. Do not call my generation lazy. When we were sixteen and just received our license, gas rose to the highest it had ever been in our country's history. We got underpaid and  disrespected jobs: cleaning up bathrooms and serving your foot-longs. The ability to travel on our own, it was our new found freedom. Like the early travelers roaming new found lands: Our wings were spread. Do not call my generation weak. We are the same group of people who entered college or the workforce with the worst economic fall since the Great Depression. You ask, "What did it do to you?" Buried us in more and more debt until it consumed our life. But, we became enlightened. We majestically thrived in the chaotic times by finding out who we are, what we are capable of and that life will take us our journeys before we even see it coming. The light still shines even when you are buried the deepest. It does not matter what you throw at us next. We will rise and conquer. It's the world's hidden secret. I'm proud to live in this time. I hope you are too. Never giving up is our morale. Respectfully, THE PERENNIAL MILLENNIALS. cc: (No HashTag Necessary)

A Little Knowledge
God before we compete today, we come together as a team to pray. Please watch over us from music start to finish, it wont take that long just about three minutes. God, all we really want is some help to succeed, so here's a little list of the things that we need: We pray for.. Stunts that are solid and tight. Arms that remain by our side. Flyers that are confident. High "V's" that are never bent. Cradles that are caught up high. pointed jumps that truly fly. Tosses that soar through the air. Judges that are knowledgeable and fair. Spacing that is on the money. ENERGY THATS LIKE THE BUNNY! Motions that are sharp and snap. A loud crowd that likes to clap. Voices that deeply shout. Thumbs that do not stick out. No bumps that happen while we're passing. SMILES THAT ARE EVERLASTING! Endurance that keeps us strong. Teamwork that cant go wrong. But mostly God, we'd like to have A routine that is injury free. And if you see it in your heart A FIRST PLACE TROPHY FOR MY TEAM AND ME! So God, when your work is done, And your no longer needed here, just take this little thought with you Amen.

A Cheerleaders Prayer
in a world where we pray to be united within the grasp of wholehearted humanity standing tall we sink in the dirt beneath our feet and holding our heads up high we sing with the utmost pride a song of which becomes a chanting notion setting the tone for revenging entities growing weary of the unwanted waste we toss our visions in the sea without daring to take the promising chance how are we to stand together in a castle built to crumble in its past? and yet we become the fools lost in the fight and lost in our grieving we walk the streets with our banners and our anger without understanding what we are feeling let me take you back to nineteen sixty three when we marched on Washington and we were lead by a King what merely started as the seed of a dream became the prelude to never ending history yet with each milestone comes adversaries and we still cry the tears of our fallen fathers we still cry to be free but remember my brothers and sisters to be mindful in your actions for blood does not wash blood away and because the tongue can be a sword be mindful of every single word you say the whole world is unjust be emotional if you must but the time is now to be reflective to be knowledgeable to be respected because the hearts of our sons and daughters still need to be protected the sun my still set orange and they moon may still shine white the day may still end at quarter to the moment everything is night and in each passing day are you going to become the change that is needed to win the fight? are you going to do what's right?

A mirror. Reflect, unconditionally, the glory of all But never radiate one's own splendor A shell. Provider, protector Submitted to the furies; ever a refuge, never a refugee A utensil. Mere instrument, to be used and used With no other use A shoe. Worn in and around And replaced when the toll is apparent A secret. Put it out there, do But keep knowledgeable to a close few A kettle. Boiling away on someone's behalf Soon to be dismissed as a maker of shrill screams and hot air A woman. Charitable to inane ideals When all that defines her is contrary

Objectification
A man must be knowledgeable, says God For him to come in the presence of God, He who has his male members dismembered Or his testicles crushed whatsoever, He shall not be permitted to enter in to the synagogue, To worship Jehovah God of Israel, says the deutronomical god of Jews And today I am ill fated, my testicles are crushed, By the grenade thrown by a terrorist, Here in Nairobi, an Islamic terrorist Has crushed my testicles, in his guest For the land of Palestine usurped by Israelis, How do I worship you God of Israel?

MY TESTICLES ARE CRUSHED

there was a sparkle in her eyes I saw it I saw it no one else paid her any attention and only I noticed the apple cores of her hands unfulfilled starving hysterical barren barred so she resorted to magic the crazy stuff of existence like the wheat she stashed in her sandbag heart and when it found her not despair shook the earth around her sorrowful body permeating disillusion confusion immersion in nothingness nothingness nothing lonely lonely and bottle caps launched from her fingernails from the spiraling stems of madness that rampaged through her bulging pulse with piercing shards of nothingness nothingness nothing splitting her glowing veins and sweetening her ever-kind clueless knowledgeable brain brain brain and where was the world?

What Destroyed Her
I've always been in place, in situ Maybe (just maybe) ... I'm sui generis? When my lifeline intersected with spacetime on this continuum I found myself moving toward a collision course with duality and non-duality Moving towards a zero-point What are we talking about? Nothing (Rafelski & Muller, 1985) As a geographer, the mimetic expression was dualistic As one plane flowed through another; as fiat lux flowed through Medicine Rock I found wisdom I further explored the duality @ this place (also known as University of Lethbridge) The U of L is an interesting duck It walks like an Albertan university It talks like an Albertan university But one of these things is certainly not like the other The U of L got its chops as a house of learning for the Liberal Arts Follow those roots and you'll see conduits to another spacetime known as UCBerkley U of L memetics share material memories from the birth of the Free Speech Movement (1964) And as Arthur Erickson drafted up his plans for Canada's centennial gift to the Province of Alberta, I'm sure he would have been partaking in the pleasures of this particular spacetime I'm sure at the very least that he was listening to Hendrix wax on about Castles As Erickson designed this modernistic monolith called University Hall There were influences such as Arthur C. Clarke and his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) He was certainly knowledgeable of the Blackfoot stories of the Old Man And of course as an architect he would be versed in gravity and how built structures on a slope tend to creep toward base-level Strange but true, Erickson's first degree was in foreign languages So what I see is Canada's premier architect wrote a poem for us in 1968 In a foreign language And that poem would be expressed over the next forty to fifty years Some of those primary poetic elements were: Berkley, California Hippie Movement Creep (or gravity) Base level Blackfoot creation stories of the Old Man Jimi Hendrix poetry and his savage musical genius "and so castle's made of sand melt into the sea, eventually." So let's reinterpret that line to be more U of L centric (through my glossy apertures) "and so monolith's made by man melt back into god eventually." ........ ....... ...... ..... ..... .... ... .. . zero~point . .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ........

Humility
Would that I could love you again. Comparable to the moment we traded glances. Ever knowledgeable to know, that wishing cannot save me now. Just like it never had. Harder still, to bear the weight of letting go. Wanting all I can with both hands. Like grasping smoke to a similar consequence. The rest will be of ash and dust; I will breathe nothing so lovely again.

The Reaper
Today I bought a square plate it's not for me, but for an enemy that I could do worse things to, if I was a less noble person as the things they've done I will not speak. The plate is porcelain and quite finely made elegant and excellently finished for how not so pricey it was hints of history seems to hide in it's shell-- as seams are weaved into what has probably lived a long and unused existence this handcrafted masterpiece. Separately painted by some fancy artist to whom I do not recognize the name of, although it is said he may have done something wrought with his ear or did this man's uncle make this plate, oh well, I am unsure. It is these very details to why, I am now in possession of this piece of the past that will be priceless to those who know more craftsmanship, at least more knowledgeable than the man who sold it to me. From the gleaming in your eyes I can tell this plate may even mean a great deal to you is this true my good friend? oh well, I guess I can give the plate to you instead of the devil I spoke of before. *As I handed my prize to them it began to feel heavier than any ordinary plate should, gravity granted the greatest reprise I've ever sought as the demon's face whelmed with depression and mine satisfaction-- for being such a convincing storyteller.

A Priceless Plate for my Enemy
*Since we last met We have learned a lot We are educated now We are knowledgeable more We have developed virtues we have morals & ethics We are immersed in work culture Now we meet again We have sailed a part of life expounded on the boats of those virtues, ethics and morals And see, there is this breeze There is something in the air We understand that Is it the same wave of LOVE... That struck us when we were teen-lovers? And in its eventide Tumbles our boat And Washed away we see... our virtues, morals & ethics In the ebb & tide of LOE All that knowledge we banked on That paid us our living debt to Earn an livelihood And security for us to live for our future savings All we saw swept away In the ebb & tide of LOVE This is the LOVE I am talking about This is the LOVE The same LOVE We went in search for Sailing on the same boat With equipments of knowledge Virtues, ethics and morals And now When we've found LOVE It has asked us for the sacrifice Everything that we've acquired till now Knowledge, virtues, ethics and morals So be it SO BE IT! We held each other's hand, And The hand of LOVE And let go... Everything we owed To the ocean of LOVE*

To The Ocean Of LOVE...
My life is a paradoxical monstrosity A contradiction in itself Where to start? Anywhere, everywhere, nowhere perhaps Occupation, I play with words. How naughty does that sound? Really, I'm in a complicated relationship with words, terms, definitions, metaphors Writer by day, storyteller by night And of course I love what I do And I hate what I do How very poetic of you! Why thank you! Sorry, the inner child speaks. Back to writing, And the moments of fantastic ecstasy Where this jumble of verbs and nouns and adjectives you're trying to assemble Clicks. The bigger picture develops with crystal clear clarity No fastidious statements Or meaningless passages. Just words, feelings, meanings Soul. That doesn't sound so bad you say IT HAPPENS ONCE EVERY MILLENIA! For the most I am frustrated. Stumped to the point where rage overcomes and the only cathartic release is to sleep. When I do manage to squeeze something out of the depths of my mind, it appears substandard, to say the least. Zadie told me to get used to non-satisfaction So I am satisfied with never been satisfied; does this make me satisfied? Ow. Please, I need an answer I've been looking for answers for nineteen years, But have I been asking the right questions? Are there any answers? Another question No, that was the question Confusion and befuddlment ravaging through your mind? I recently realised there are no facts Only really good suggestions by excessively knowledgeable and esteemed I quite fancy being one of those guys A visionary complete with the stereotypical glasses and overgrown beard And I'd declare that being yourself is the first step to finding your purpose Fact. But what if finding your purpose is your purpose? I'll leave you with that. This is my life. Complaining would be ungrateful of me; it's a good one really. I can walk and run and play basketball and see my friends where we laugh endlessly. Oh and Saturday morning cartoons. I have problems, enormous world ending problems But it's all relative. Some think I'm strange, I prefer quirky. I wonder how life would be if I'd chose the 'normal' option Most likely, frightfully boring

Fog Happens Yup. Not profound, even Jung, Kant and Freud, wouldn’t deny their eyes, would no doubt disagree with symbolic, philosophical implications, and the head banging ramifications for the immediacy of the spiritual impact while driving in this grey **** Fog differs every time, and on an island, that’s for **** sure. Today’s incarnation, the fog comes over the water, but respects the man-made, timbered, bulkhead, so the yard, with its circus of ravens, crows, and other invisible birds, insects, rabbits, is visible, but absent the inhabitants who are smarter-than-humans, they remain aboded thinking, only stupid humans believe they can navigate and forage, in a fog penetrating in air that is 97% humidity and 100% peas soup thick skinned. The time? Of course. It’s 7:36 AM on the East Coast, and beyond the lawn lies a brackish bay that will lead you to the Atlantic and north to the Titanic, direction Newfoundland. Not enough info to geo tag me, but those who know me, knowledgeable in my early mornings  scribblings, know my whereabouts, my telephone number. Do you? Fog Happens to everyone and at random intervals, Nope. Not thinking of the brain clouds of ordinary Lethologica  and Lethonomia. (Sunday lazy so just look it up and say out loud, gotta remember them words and laugh out loud cause you ain’t gotta a prayer.) Fog Happens in the heart, spreading north to the consciousness, and the lethargy of movement impeded by the lighthouse bells tolling “danger is about,” our light stolen, but you need to know, you’re perilously close to danger. Any action taken when heart-fogged can have awful consequences so stick close to bed, yank out your tablet, write a poem, listen to sad love  songs on that Pandora Station, or send GIPHYs and emojis to your six year old granddaughter who is 108 miles to the west of where you both hide beneath coverlets, and laugh out loud with her like the bells chiming outside, and that helps move that heart~fog hanging low, out to sea. YUP. Fog Happens Fog Passes

how can we know where lovers go or when they take the notion to stop the flow and try to slow the rhythm of the ocean. we cannot seek to reach this peak or lift above that sea, we are too weak to mug the meak of their sincerity. we are alone, together and free. and here's some stream of thought (that just so happens to rhyme, kinda)... loopy arousal. lofty appraisals. disabled and taken for granted. in the eyes of the dead, instead of the usual red, we decided on green to dress the scene. the sound man listened. the light man leered. the chef was cooked. i'm hooked. heaved on to me like voyeurism and sought like publishers. distasteful? yes. useful. yes. knowledgeable? sometimes. lurid trysts and poltergeists expounding. multiplication escapes me. pen and paper **** me.

How can we know?
I did not kiss anybody last night, yet my body- from the lips down- thinks I did. Clad in a cotton armour, like a pitch again tent in a miserable northern monsoon; the chest is protected from the disappointment, the ribs are protected from the disappointment, as for the heart, that’s the one that gets drenched in drops of distress- for it is the one ***** that gets played by the hand of the female chess player; knowing and knowledgeable, out to get your king for only profitable stings and club-night-pictures-check-the-website-for-more-details, kisses.
