"outpaces" poems
Infinity is finite to an extent of infinity,
For rises it infinite and falls it infinite;
But Time is the only other immortal born,
That outpaces the pace of infinity, forlorn;
But if Time was born and so was Infinity;
Perhaps, they are finite in their own vicinity.

Good morning!
You have been greeted by pink and orange roses this time.
Do you mind?
We actually have everything here!
They shape as we wish
under colorful prayer flags.
Flags receive their color
daily fresh from
rainbow harvesting lands.
We have dots of hopes breathing inside.
Look! here is one drawing,
etched by a child for you.
She says it is you and her
walking hand in hand
entering a building
which would look like home for you.
She says if you look carefully
you won’t feel lonely here.
They do shine really
these dots of hopes
She too is a dot of hope.
You just don’t need to think
It’s that easy
so they can outline with you
even almost literally
A cool warm indigo spot
hidden behind the imaginary walls of an igloo.
An igloo is made of living frosted color glass
We call them our red blue green recharge huts
similar to your dreams:
it is something like
when you would see a remote tea-light
with the side of your eye
and make it an ardent nautical sign
of an early morning
that fades to a call of
a nameless
well known
yet unexplored
future memories
while
it is still so still
slowly then
yellow catches up
our sun
outpaces dawn
and mixes up jazz
an ensemble we are then
something similar to your differentiable landscapes
but ours are nowhere-differentiable
so please hold that little girl’s hand now
She will teach you home
this time.

Flickering like a tentative alpenglow corraded from profaned time
A whisper jostles through a crowded rumpus prescient of teleology and design
Jolting with pangs of panic a screech emanates from the brontides of tomorrow
A chagrin outpaces the gingerly apprehension of a peevish sorrow
Among the ruffled plumes quaffed from pedigree and put to disuse
A banausic electricity galvanizes the ****** of the amalgamated acuity pinched from the sordid, the obtuse
Refracted like off a darkened moon that clenches the darkness in an abstruse tomb
Combs through sentience of Saturn presiding over ineluctable doom
A silence louder than a plangent ****** of phantasmagoria debased
A looming victor erodes with the putrefaction of sworn and utter distaste
How to obtrude on the evening with triaged fulmination
Is an affront to the rudders of a piecemeal civilization in tatters with exacting doddering calculation
Graveyards bustle with the eidolons of scurrilous spite
Congregating around a blackened epitaph on an alabaster palace gilded in the swanky pinnacle of light
Scuttling the outmoded flanks of an abortive war
Against a henchman of state too ostentatious to hardly ever ignore
We clamber with insistence hoping on fortuitous deliverance
Yet we are deranged of the clasped distance between the crevasse of the clerisy and the satisdiction of futures passed with meticulous diligence
Absconding with furtive furrows on a wizened guild an entrusted world we helped build
We witness the silence creep over us like a trepidation contained as lethal killers of the cartel willed
That which frightens a self-fulfillment is a fatalism gone awry
Someday soon omens excavated from immolated tombs will beseech a more universal backlash, an alienated sorrow that will one day cry
But until that fetched disaster occurs
Let us meditate only on the process of emanation among wayward words
That dance with a destiny that the hegemony of momentary circumstance much prefers

September now,
and the year outpaces me
I race it but can't catch my breath
and coming up,fast from behind,riding a bicycle though he's blind is death,with fingers cold as ice,
and you thought sweating wasn't nice,let me sweat,
let me get a bit more time to end this race.
Death, please turn and face the other way beat me to the finish line another day
and death just nods,
two sodding dogs which lag some where in the rear,bark to let me know the end is near,
I howl they growl, a sound that no one should ever hear.
September now,
and how I've loved the months before,been up and down and loved them even more.
September Autumn song,
so long I won't hear you again
won't see leaves fall or feel the rain for I am chained to destiny,her and me, a fait accompli,the ally,she cracks the whip and I comply.
September now,how I wish it wasn't so.

latent ***** stripped
worldly bearings dizzy
not catching
spiral
then seconds
multiply
not dodge or burn but grow
where it all often slides
and I palm groove
it rolls inside as memoir
with new car smell
epiphanic brushed script
in hallowed blues
& pinstriped opal
my vibration outpaces
the weight of existence
cuts it off around
my bending
center stills enough
to catch glinting dust
before I turn
to it

only this passing moment matters,
the past soon outpaces sight,
as life occurs it scatters,
no lucidity; try as I might.
decisions made without conclusion,
affecting a lost timeline,
resigned; with no delusion,
that I could alter this life of mine.
