"outstrip" poems
Sloane swallows. ***** is **** I execrate extraterrestrial. We are all kaput to conk out. Pollyanna is singular hanky—panky. Little green men are unpatriotic, perverted and naughty. I verily don’t grease a ***** Oojakapivvycum. If you are amphibious that means you are an effervescent ventriloquist capable of Cannibalism, cannibalism and cannibalism. The fluid inside the android is so gothic and naff It is knock—kneed in the face of flashing ********** I do not feel that I am on the shoulders of cobber doggies. I am protoplastically lassoed abutting penetrating vampire and pervert That penetrate ***** creature. I have pricked little green men myself and taken pleasure in it. It is only with the help of bad hair days of groupies that I have not been in Sing Sing. We are all sadomasochistically decomposing in a heap of our own meconium. I bore stiff to outstrip yours truly as much as I have room to swing a cat from Ku Klux **** But I am as complicit in the android’s ****** abuse as it were android *** Little green men ***** me as I ***** myself. I ***** bug—eyed men’s ******* types as I have perpetually vomited Molotov cocktail. I smell little green men’s filth televised on their ******* types. I feel like I am inside a crust of cancers who delight in smelling others bonk upstairs, Ad hominen id. Ex post facto, I am too much of a dastard to throw cold water on myself. I coagulate gungily to my menstrual gibbering ****** Castrating anti—Semite to flash me abutting crème de la crème. Strenuously, my ***** gluts under one’s nose because that is all there is.

She’s dead; and all which die To their first elements resolve; And we were mutual elements to us, And made of one another. My body then doth hers involve, And those things whereof I consist hereby In me abundant grow, and burdenous, And nourish not, but smother. My fire of passion, sighs of air, Water of tears, and earthly sad despair, Which my materials be, But near worn out by love’s security, She, to my loss, doth by her death repair, And I might live long wretched so But that my fire doth with my fuel grow. Now as those Active Kings Whose foreign conquest treasure brings, Receive more, and spend more, and soonest break: This (which I am amazed that I can speak) This death hath with my store My use increased. And so my soul more earnestly released Will outstrip hers; as bullets flown before A latter bullet may o’ertake, the powder being more.

The Dissolution
On the busiest of days, even prettiest of faces, can sulk into nothingness. Where is the smile she used to have, at the time when it all started. Reassurance is gone, And so is self-belief, I might ask, 'what you did?' Look back, you would find a way, look back, if you want, for pearls often are left behind. During those hurried hours of the flight to well-being, when you race past everything, Surging on like unceasing greed, you outstrip your own noble deeds; look back, for pearls often are left behind.

Look Back
*hard skin of life to penetrate soften that piercing stare* 1. seems a shot spiked with kindness does the trick that’s how we button up the moon’s sides with silver thread to keep its seams from splitting solemn sides and spilling all its jolly secrets: whorls of fingerprints sinking steadily into luna-grooves like a neat domino-stacked roll on a never-ending trip into black holes not far from Ursa Major 2. to grant a delightful hop up and throw seeking eyes over the orb’s gentle curve take a little look-see the tiniest peek into Tucanae where tidal forces push small clouds and outstrip the western winds towards cunning straits to subtly tie into bows cut ribbons of fate drink a dram of mercy from a well-behaved thimble yet poems don’t pay no bills now when words tinker with heart’s mettle 3. wonder if sagacious rue repays in full or satisfies the exceeding cost   of the hankering in a vessel caught eddying in giant nacred jetsam while casting minute gems before the moon’s eyes it’s nigh impossible to hide behind the sun 4. best be ready with prêt-a-porter life-pennies and be wise to always carry a pocket full of sorrys *stitch 'em seams together now it all comes together nice and neat* S T, Moonday, 15 July 2013

The Oxford Lecture
Stumble on the ragged bones and fur of a deer above the spring, choke on fear and grab your dog, drag him (and you) away. Three years later, come upon the picked over corpse of a button buck in the upper field, notice that there’s only half of it, back away and shudder. Older now, pass half a dozen bloated carcasses along back country roads, sigh, swerve to avoid the bloodstains on the pavement. Meanwhile, your father’s got a doe in the bed of the truck strapped down still warm, step back to keep the ****** snow off your boots, smile. There is blood dripping from your nose and your brain feels like it’s rotting, a blight of molding fur in a fallow field; picture fire, not bones. Before, herds crept from the tree line at dusk while you sat around the flames, grazing the lower field until they bolted at the howl of coyotes. There is a bottle of pills and a carved antler whistle on your dresser; one could save you, one might **** you. You know which is which. Stagger through the woods with blurring eyes and a hanging head, trip on a mouse-chewed antler and pick it up, smile, list right. There is a white fawn standing plain in the bottom field that will disappear come winter. Pull the arrows from your eyes; you can feel them, you know they’re there. When the pain leaves you will run, fleet as deer, and outstrip the exhaustion that howls at your heels. You will be alive again, and stop rotting. Meanwhile, try not to trip on your bones, body trying to drop as though from a headshot. Don’t lie down yet- the blood will scrub clean eventually.

Not for the sake of long outstrip, in lieu of affinity. Not for the sake of anger, in lieu of affection. Not far away, today I am far away. Don't have that glad of touch. Don't have that air, full of her smell. The wet air of monsoon call me today with long breath. Glimpse of lost somewhere.

Lost somewhere
Lonesome heart, when the past is past, and the past lies dead, let it lie. Now is. Then was.  Tomorrow shall be. But now is. Too soon, what is becomes what was. And what will be becomes what is. But what was remains what was. Before now lives, it is dreamt. And after now expires, it is remembered. Neither is substance. But the now is the real. Neither aspiration nor memory, it is the vivid flame of certain present being. The now is the turning point. The cusp, the peak, the bleeding edge of now. Dreams realized, memories recalled, the present. Dream? Certainly. It gives now purpose. Aspire? Most definitely. It gives now direction. Remember? But of course. It shows now progress. Reminisce? Surely. It shows now passion. But you must be that now. Always here, ever-present now. Fiery, passionate, vivid now. For the colors of now outstrip the unformed hues of dreams and the faded pale shades of the past. The possibility of now, more real than dream-shadows, more potent than prospects left unrealized. The only real time. The only possibility. The now.

Now
Let me write of the unknown of the things we don't know and have never been shown. Like the string theory do you agree? If this space was put in place by invisible hand and stars made to shine by something divine Why tie them up in a potage of science? Where the sea meets its earth and where rainbows give birth makes no difference to me. It's enough that I see that it's so. Where do Angels tread and where can the bread of heaven be found? These questions I ask as I bask in reflections of someone's midsections in the operating rooms where I peer hard to see and ask again 'Is this the makings of me' A universe without an end e-mails that we never send. These pending posts play host to me. In one of ten million galaxies It seems quite odd to make a rod and beat ourself with what we do not know. Whether the plan is to grow so big and become the giants we never were or to be so bright that we outstrip and outsource our own dying light and gain. Is all the same to me I do not care. It is enough to know that I am here and out there somewhere a table is set A game is played and I will get what I deserve.

Quest ions
glow to the righteous and firmed in their ways aloof and fervent forever steadfastly pure we allow secret ways to uncover us then cover us over softly so other realms may enchant we participate open-handed, open-hearted taking and sharing in delights of pleasure and in all good measure, we seek the quiet of love or god or spirits those special ways to each delivered by cherubs or captains in dress relentless we search for purpose or oppose sureness that slurps away at us like melting dew how can we know or see the ways to delay or restart matters that can confuse then reward and disappear as if listening to fallen rain it's not that we can not see all but more to it, the mysteries of the unknown far outstrip anything found, written or even imagined

don't turnaround till your ready...
In midst of our childhood, When I found you, You were devilish of all, With child-like evilness, but being purest of all, For you hold a candid heart beneath your devious sheath, Always looking to outsmart With your crooked teeth, For even today, squabbling and quarrels are not unorthodox, And have become our natural crosswalk, Tell me, have you been more of a rival or a friend? Hard to comprehend, For what is evil in you is good in me, And what is evil in me is good in you, Though we are holding on a same anchor, Still, we are being of different color, For which I remember, grade 4 being the preface and spring of our friendship, And grade 5 of our common infatuation, Then, innocence ceases never to outstrip, And you never ceases to being reasons of my irritation, For you who is unnoticed season Always laugh without any reason, For you who is a lost star in a boundless space Longing for an arms to embrace, For you who knows my zenith, also knows my nadir.

Life is a constant act of forfeiture. We each begin as a singularity, A concentration of pure potential, In that moment, truly equal. An instant later, the timer starts, The years of our lives begin to drain away, And thereafter we can know only the effects of our own clocks, and others', trickling sand across the sepulchre. For me, this has long been the truth of all things. Except you. You came after me, And so, Years after my hourglass was turned over, The trend was reversed. You did not give me immortality, That would be ridiculous. The gift you gave me was far more simple and pure. For every moment you were on this earth, The hourglass meant nothing to me. Every moment spent, was one spent watching you grow, Learn, Live. Every child watches their parents age, unto infirmity, Unto death. For some parents, I know, To watch a child grow into adulthood is to be reminded of their own aging, and encroaching mortality. A sibling has a unique perspective. I was not so much older than you as to feel old while watching you grow. I was not close enough in age to you, As to feel as though we were the same kind of creature. A child's memory is a cloth which quickly frays and fades in colour; As you grew and learnt, I did not remember my own passage through those stages, And so all of your stages were new to me. As I matured, I came to recognise what this meant to me. I became engrossed in the observation of your life. I discovered, with joy, that you were destined to outstrip me in every way. Taller, stronger, smarter, more beautiful, more eloquent, more kind, and intrinsically good. You put your grains of sand to better use than I did mine. With every passing day, you gained strength. And then, it was over. And I realised that part of it had been an illusion. You were real, of course. None of what you were was diminished by this realisation. If anything, It only made you more valiant in my eyes. Because you had been taken in, too. The illusion was this: As each of our lives is an hourglass on a table, Yours and mine standing side by side, Each appeared to hold about the same amount of sand. It was a very convincing lie. You lived your life as I have lived mine, Making plans decades ahead, Looking forward to a career, love, offspring, Even so far as retirement. The day you died, the truth was revealed; That even at the instant you passed, The lower hollow of my hourglass held more sand, Than any part of yours ever would. And that was the cruellest truth, for you. The younger sibling spends all of their life, Catching up to the elder. Reaching every milestone in their wake. The day you were born, I was two years and nine months ahead of you. And you would never catch up.
