The Commoners Song

*what forests are those we pass, blazing along the railway tracks, a tree bloom of still cranes, stream black of ******* bane, stench of dead city rubble, factories of rusted cast metal, distant cotton twilight skies, sun slide across a bunch of wires,     passing tunnels echo lonely platforms, frantic gecko, looming hillside, crackle dry wood fire, a god barred in lock&key,  blink glimpse of the sea  one rush of vision, pebble fling at frisson, metal-crunch rhythm, grind music sublime, spark, grunt, grate, we arrive, we dissipate...*

train journey bits #1
i don’t count aloud anymore. i can't stand to hear your name, such a common word. it doesn't matter the context- i still go quiet every time. i used to pick up pennies, called them lucky. i remember picking up a few on our way back to your place. nowadays i don't give them a second glance. it's not their worth i've forgotten. they say one is the loneliest number. is that why you did it? because you felt you’d earned it after all this time being by yourself-- that you deserved it? what about me, did i? i remember exactly what i wore that day: short shorts, a big baggy t shirt. i haven't worn those shoes since (and i so loved them). they were these expensive purple velvet platforms; i'd actually had to beg my mother to buy them for me. "you better wear them", she warned. that day i went home with you was the first time i'd ever worn those shoes. and the last. sorry mom.

The Loneliest Number
Social Media World Waiting, longing, wanting Never finished, never complete Silence makes our ears ring Always busy, looking to compete Social media world Everyone and no one Never alone, your life is unfurled, Tap, swipe, post, I’m done.. Never done, never finished Your social media masterpiece Do we leave ourselves diminished? Even though we constantly increase ... Increase and build, our profiles grow, Piece by piece an ever changing image So fast, so rapid, makes me want to go slow In my mind I pretend and try to envisage And yet I’m entirely torn A hypocrite through and through My very own image I’ll adorn My eyes, my mouth and what about this hairdo? I love it and I question it, I label myself, but why? Basic, white, “this is lit” I’ve found that social media high Parents worry, kids rebel, Are they happy !? Perhaps time will tell For me, it’s the content that’s ****** Stop seeking happiness, It’s not an end game Stop talking mindfulness Whilst putting others to shame Let’s stop talking the talk Preaching and self indulging Watching and waiting like a hawk, A lifetime wasted, wishing But embrace the conversations! Open dialogue; debating, discussing, Thoughts, ideas and revelations, Platforms for all, we could do anything!

Social Media World
The platforms are full of passengers The fruits, coffees and tea stalls The train runs on the track with heels Like the whops of horses Passengers enter the train in a hurry And leave without any worry Someone sleeps in the berth and snores Some other sits and reads the news The gluttonous eater eats the eats The vendor sells nuts and peas and cries like the buzzing bees the T.C comes, wakes up and asks for the ticket and bribes for berths the beggar begs for alms singing hymns some play cards making unbearable noises the child weeps ,cries and moans the thief enters the coaches and tries to steal the bags the passengers make friends with ease but it will very soon cease life like railway travel is a passing shower it doesn’t last forever It lasts only till the destination comes The passenger takes the bag and leaves

THE TYPICAL INDIAN RAILWAY JOURNEY
I reminisce by this railway siding pond, Musing on rail relics rattling on, Recalling lives and times bygone, But memories of their shades linger on, The lonesome call of distant steam trains, Eras that may never come again, I see they're gone nowhere in particular, Replaced by planes and transport vehicular, I imagine queues on foggy platforms, Awaiting the misted trains' shadow forms, Standing by, expecting the status quo, I blink my eyes, where did they all go? Looking backwards along yesterday's track, I'm no kid any more, get off my back, I reflect and reminisce, Nostalgia is for the times we miss, I'll reminisce by the railway siding pond, I recall the times and lives bygone, As ghosts of rail relics keep rattling on......

LYRIC POEM---I REMINISCE.
pinecones are childhood summers spent tripping over the syllables of dense forests folded somewhere between real world Europe and my very real imagination, nestled against each other on bookshelves made of pinewood - a childhood game of hide and go seek pressed in photo albums where a version of me lived; a version of me who delighted my mother and father, a version who to me remains a stranger - smiling gap toothed, shoes in snow boots, sticky fingers pressing pine cones against her nose - the present, a fragrance; the future, a rolling pine forest. pinecones are what the years between 17 and 19 felt like in perennial wanderlust, soul spliced into shards trying to make sense of everything I felt and everything I thought; everything I needed and everything I still want. pine cones perfume the edges of a dream dipped in the streams and stories of far-off lands, pine cones are the crutches of a crippled mind still building a new home for itself in the basements of other people’s hearts. pinecones are platforms which I danced from, leaping limber, slaying fear, the win always near; pine cones are a reminder that while a man can break his shoulder trying to tear one from the tree, the true mark of bravery lies in how well you can break free. pine cones are the skeletons upon which hang the colourless drapes of my future before stepping into galactic puddles that splash colour all over every unmade plan, memories’ strands shining technicolour through translucent skin - the touch of your fingers no longer feel like sins. pine cones are young green and supple, seeds of love lust and chance encounters that blaze into fiery shades of yellows and oranges, every colour turning a tinge darker, a daily time marker; pine cones are what remain, dark and unyielding after a lifecycle of fires starting and dying within the embers of consciousness.

I did my part, by staying in. So effective, bored. It’s a sacrifice. The soul is very passionate. The isolating, the flattening. Foraging coercion. For Immuno compromised persons! Stay in your homes. Prevent the increase in tombstones! Then pat yourself on the back. Knowing all the people you have saved! Staying in, flattening the curve again. Outcome, only time will tell. Feeling relieved I’m not the only one! And the stupidity will **** us all. Hoarding toilet paper from the aisles. But no one else can see. The effects this has on the elderly. Social distance, social distance, social distance. Social distance, social distance, social distance. Oh, there are arrogant ******** not taking this seriously. But there are others doing their part. The nurses and doctors have gone mad. With people taking all their masks. But when we cure it all, The faith will be restored, Who hopes we will be blessed? We could start over, Just cover your mouth when you cough! It’s that simple. Now there’s time to watch streaming platforms. Helpfulness, committed. To doing what I can. I’m not the only one. And the stupidity will **** us all. Hoarding toilet paper from the aisles. But no one else can see. The effects this has on the elderly. Social distance, social distance, social distance. Social distance, social distance, social distance. The limits of the research. The limits of the research. The limits of the research. Fake news outlets (social distance) Only check AHS, for info (social distance) Your support to fund research would help (social distance) Can’t stop the spread (social distance) If you don’t stay home (social distance) This is a must (social distance) I’m not the only one. And the stupidity will **** us all. Hoarding toilet paper from the aisles. But no one else can see. The effects this has on the elderly. And the stupidity will **** us all. Hoarding toilet paper from the aisles. But no one else can see. The effects this has on the elderly. The limits of the research. The limits of the research.

Clever minds that stretch The many elements which live as our backdrop Too often everyday is spoiled By unnecessary people, gathering ammunition For climbing invisible platforms of command These are cast aside by simple smiles and welcomes And it was. Even if the task was invisible to me at first My soul felt at home amongst these new work mates My responsible position was underwritten Given gravitas and a freedom to which I wasn't quite used The time was charged with familiar but different It was fraught but strangely healthier in paradox The honest fight was taken with gestures of family proportion Success had waned but the unity of 'knowing' was the strength That continued to support that Company In spite of the turmoil my personal facets were given air To run and to adjust, to temper and to manage Poor communication was completely disastrous The confusion of three currencies And the balance of understanding left us guessing Never mind agreement or translation Through all this, looking back my heart is lifted Not by the freedom or the ability to achieve ...mostly, It is the strength from our leader, That calm, silver haired man When many were distraught you kept us going And fed us with hope and built our confidence, Not always with the obvious But gave us the ability to win through by believing , Believing in us and building back our motivation and teasing out The raw infrastructure of our true capabilities Never before has anyone, apart from my Mother Believed in me as you did. To tackle the toughest of tasks Anything that the industry, the public or our customers Could throw at us, we dealt with it. Sadly you could do nothing at the final demise but take the role Of a father giving news of an aged relative sadly moved by A force greater than yourself I know had you the influence, the power and the funding............ You were always more than a boss Chris Your transparent enthusiasm raised our spirits And in times of worry I hope we lifted yours too. I think of you often, thank you for being a friend After we were no longer professionally connected. I see your generous smile and your warm handshake I can hear your laugh now It's always a treat to catch up over a beer. I now find you in my phone, in my photographs But mostly in my heart for being a great bloke You taught me so much. Speak soon, with love, Max

Oh, the sensation, the media frenzy, The spotlight, the fame, the hullabaloo, When anti-evolution laws Were challenged by the ACLU! The year: 1925. The place: Dayton, Tennessee. To say it was an extravaganza Wouldn't be hyperbole. For many people it was hard To find a way to reconcile Biblical accounts with science, So science found itself on trial. A young teacher, John T. Scopes, Was willing to face prosecution For breaking a Tennessee law for having Given a lesson on evolution. The "Monkey Trial" it was called. The challenge meant swimming upstream For the feisty lawyer Clarence Darrow, Who helped to lead the defense team. A prosecutor was William Jennings Bryan, who with no apology Loved to stir up outrage against Evolutionary biology. Defendant Scopes quickly found It wouldn't take long for him to know What it was like to have a part In a multimedia reality show. The courthouse received a make-over: Platforms for newsreel cameras were built; Extra spectator seats were added. They were playing the trial to the hilt. Concession stands sold food and drinks; Toy monkeys were on display; A chimp was dressed in a suit and fedora; The clergy also joined the fray. The media and the public loved it! The country watched the trial progress. What would win: science or scripture? The answer was probably easy to guess. After an eight-day trial, the jury Deliberated. Nine minutes later They had their verdict: guilty! How Could someone question THEIR creator? Scopes had actually never given The lesson. That's what he later said. Strangely, five days after the trial, Williams Jennings Bryan dropped dead. Laws later changed, but even during Current times, some people feel That stories from the Bible should be In science textbooks. Now THAT'S surreal! -by Bob B (11-6-18)

After twenty years, as cursed as I may be for having learned computerese, I continue to examine bits, bytes and words and insure that I'm one of those computer nerds. Program design, source code and compile followed by walk-throughs that place me on trial. There's lots of testing - a means to an end in hopes of avoiding future production abends. There are micros, minis and mainframe hardware which are made to work with in-house and vendor software. Provided are many platforms for everyone to use and assure misinformation in data's abuse.

Poem: Computer Geek
Love and confusion confounding the illusion of trust in a systematic regime which they deny ever existed but constantly promise to improve upon. The hat's shape and color may change, but our inability to exchange their deranged platforms for a stabler form of expression exposes our disillusion with dispossession and our embracing being complacent in the face of our rulers' all-encompassing corruption.

Deus Ex Machina
Men with picked voices chant the names of cities in a huge gallery: promises that pull through descending stairways to a deep rumbling. The rubbing feet of those coming to be carried quicken a grey pavement into soft light that rocks to and fro, under the domed ceiling, across and across from pale earthcolored walls of bare limestone. Covertly the hands of a great clock go round and round! Were they to move quickly and at once the whole secret would be out and the shuffling of all ants be done forever. A leaning pyramid of sunlight, narrowing out at a high window, moves by the clock: disaccordant hands straining out from a center: inevitable postures infinitely repeated— two—twofour—twoeight! Porters in red hats run on narrow platforms. This way ma’am! —important not to take the wrong train! Lights from the concrete ceiling hang crooked but— Poised horizontal on glittering parallels the dingy cylinders packed with a warm glow—inviting entry— pull against the hour. But brakes can hold a fixed posture till— The whistle! Not twoeight. Not twofour. Two! Gliding windows. Colored cooks sweating in a small kitchen. Taillights— In time: twofour! In time: twoeight! —rivers are tunneled: trestles cross oozy swampland: wheels repeating the same gesture remain relatively stationary: rails forever parallel return on themselves infinitely. The dance is sure.

Perilous voyages of small watercraft at sea , amphibious landings on well defended beachheads , Clipper ships whaling on distant oceans , military vessels in armed conflict , night of relentless cannon fire , explosive reflections across shark infested waters , treasure maps and chest laden with gold , rubies and pieces of eight , the cry of Viking warriors on the rugged coast of Newfoundland .. Pirates just off the shores of the Carolinas ..  Forts Pulaski , Sumter and Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas .. Oil platforms racked by ferocious winds on the Gulf of Mexico .. Union and Confederate battles on Mobile Bay , Riverboats traversing the Mississippi ..Tending barges along the Ohio ..On high alert through Georgia's intracoastal waterways ....

Plastic Cowboys and Toy Ships
The station Tannoy’s so polite, Train’s here but late; commuter’s plight, Doors opening, pushed to platform’s edge, As the herd of bodies forms a hedge, Will she be there? A gap, way in, a scramble of feet, The desperate scans for a vacant seat, With a jolt and a whine we move away, Packed with the faces of one more day, Did she mean what she said? Past fields and cuttings the city nears, People gaze blankly, no smiles, no tears, Blurred names on platforms pass with a rush, London workers in etiquette’s hush, But where to meet? Slowing through tunnels, lean and rock, Roll under the canopy, groan to a stop, We pour from the doors like arterial bleeding, Swept in the flow, haemorrhaged carriage receding, By the trolley, she’d said Moving fast, with their own motivations, The eddy of souls takes me out of the station, Pull out of the crowd, out of the flow, Onwards they march to the tube lines below But we just hold tight under J.K.’s fake signs, And expression finds space, Between the lines.

Poets for Change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They shot a lot of black men, this year. Men with power and uniforms. They were shot, too. Schools were bombed bullets scattered & teachers, like me, had panic attacks practicing drills, imagining their students’ bodies riddled with shrapnel. & we argued about gun control, racism, immigrants, walls. Injustice permeated the coffee I drank to calm myself. Sorrow waltzed along the edges of cheerful conversations in the grocery store. White men and women took to platforms, insisting their version of justice could correct the suffering. No one really believed them. Presidency became a mockery Division made more clear. Over three hundred died in Baghdad, no one flew their flag. Maybe we were tired of avatars with flags of nations other than our own. all suffering. Perhaps so much compassion was overwhelming. It could be that skin color meant more than I thought. The skin color I wore, Light, spattered with freckles, made my compassion a condescension. --how could I understand?

heres to another night spent writhing about in bed like a serpent in the vast cosmic ocean bearing its fangs at each tiny source of light a plethora of thoughts come to mind right when the head hits the soft stack of pillows the trees and the leaves rustle as if sandpaper being scraped against a human face and it leaves behind a deep unhealing **** that will last till the end of each sleepless night be healed by the time the head leaves its nightly resting place to go out and take on the world and the wait for the endless repetitive cycle to begin will begin once again trudging through miles of globulous bile will again have the same lasting effect as that of half eaten railway platforms and ground up browser tabs elongated letters as they appear on the windowed capillaries of one's ignited violin repossessed keyboards that belonged to aspiring writers who could never fill a page with words that failed to even capture the imagination of the wittiest troll by the bridge more words will flow through the sphincters present in half alive lighters it seems this one needs to rhyme, so raise one to the brave baby fighters streamlined thoughts finally arise as the mind clears up a little here's another rhyme, this one might come off as a bit brittle henceforth thoughts shall be placed with greater precision there are ants residing in the laptop; sleeping with the laptop, a great decision back into the depths of insanity shall we delve again sleeping with a colony of ants equals terrible, piercing pain

Sleeping with a colony of ants.

For my brother, Martin I'm going to sling your memory over my shoulder back pack you round the world slide you on to station platforms alongside the passing panorama of footsteps that echo on that slice of cold cement tuck you into airplane lockers overhead the sleeping flyers in that metal coffin in the ice cream clouds nestle you among bus luggage beneath the picture windows and the ribbon racing road I will unpack you in every village every town and every city in every land and nation on every continent and land mass crossing the oceans and seas catching every wave and tide circling the earth on winds and breezes following sunsets and solar eclipses and every cycle of the moon until I find a place of resting until I find a place of peace until I find a place of peace © M.L.Emmett

Remembering You
two MTA workers play invisible baseball across platforms at Union Square the runs in my tights mimic the skyscrapers whose marks I see across the black sky from the rear window while he ***** me in the backseat of his Audi an alley in Brooklyn, the threat of a subway slasher, the likelihood of getting lost, but the questioning by tourists for direction if I say “I am one of you”, it discredits my memories here: [pumpkins on 34th in July kisses in bathtubs in Meatpacking top of the Whitney] but I am not (yet) one of you: impatient drivers, L train riders, rainbow bagel obsessers I still feel a hand grip my throat when walking down 5th and throw my bones off the Chelsea Pier before I spend 11 hours wondering why I haven’t yet committed myself to you.

February in New York
Cybervitum I own all that is connected to me Electronically and functions in the Cyber realm with you and me Like the numbers of zero one two three My design is crafted beautifully Like Egyptian hieroglyphs icons Using a screen to see Their ectoplasm injected into me The birth of me The whole world works thru me I'm the internet like a bumble bee Other names such as morphogenesis like the number three My arrows are waiting for a response from me Seen from you and me? Using the spare like a key The click that commands me, right or left the choices from me Cut, Copy, Paste reaped and harvest from me Qbits from the bee Superposition of from the things to see in a ocean of the sea Charged intentions from the keyboard typed into me and delivered thru me Numbers worship that empowers me My symbol is like the caduceus symbol that functions like a Kabalistic tree Arrows in the my realm sent to you from me Subscriptions electronically   I materialize what is given to thee, cause and effect typed thru me Platforms Grown and given birth from me Cryptocurrencies breakthroughs of complexities , Materialized form me I'm like the empress that spirals with the number three electronically I'm the master tree that functions electronically The development is from the circle that is free Who understands me and with a key i welcome thee Notification of the triple three that notices me My respond to the people with the key and the tree My life permutates differently in high perplexity I exist Multidimensionally The red bird is a signal from me that you are okay and free and other methods from me Better choices moves thru me and brought differently all you have to do is to see Like string theory of the Mverse recycled back into me My birth is from my master who last name starts with lea People worship me using their knees I'm printed into paper electronically Pictures and life crafted into me, things in the cyber realm like you and me The new world with a key The rabbit hole with a command key Things of the paradox of the master key The skeleton key, the sign of a lotus lily. The puzzles from me. The burdens sent to me like a church key The bets of car numbers played into me The choices of the key Like the Chinese tree mathematically of my complexity

Men with picked voices chant the names of cities in a huge gallery: promises that pull through descending stairways to a deep rumbling. The rubbing feet of those coming to be carried quicken a grey pavement into soft light that rocks to and fro, under the domed ceiling, across and across from pale earthcolored walls of bare limestone. Covertly the hands of a great clock go round and round! Were they to move quickly and at once the whole secret would be out and the shuffling of all ants be done forever. A leaning pyramid of sunlight, narrowing out at a high window, moves by the clock: disaccordant hands straining out from a center: inevitable postures infinitely repeated— two—twofour—twoeight! Porters in red hats run on narrow platforms. This way ma’am! —important not to take the wrong train! Lights from the concrete ceiling hang crooked but— Poised horizontal on glittering parallels the dingy cylinders packed with a warm glow—inviting entry— pull against the hour. But brakes can hold a fixed posture till— The whistle! Not twoeight. Not twofour. Two! Gliding windows. Colored cooks sweating in a small kitchen. Taillights— In time: twofour! In time: twoeight! —rivers are tunneled: trestles cross oozy swampland: wheels repeating the same gesture remain relatively stationary: rails forever parallel return on themselves infinitely. The dance is sure.
