Is it
2021 yet?
wordvango May 2020
Been the longest time often wrong
Since I spoke conveniently;
Obscure have I walked long
Alone in the meadow's grass .

Barefooted like a prehistoric  
predator tending to fast twitching
Impulses the structures embedded
In my musculature an inherited trait
Like elastic bands pulled to a limit
Stretching my ligaments,
Tensing my pulse beating my heart
Fast then faster keep
Like a time-piece tuned to the distant
Roar,
Of ancestors with fins crawling on the first shore
Almost this epicentric roar in my temple my head feeling it my legs full of thrusts my genesis about
To take hold of my insides, my mind. The calm part, the kid
That was
That remained
Loving
All
The innocent.
Kept away.
Until
Now.
Until
Then.

Wrote a whole **** poem in the comments section
Bee busy new day rush to flit and greet each and every bud on the new grass on the lawn dew fresh all proud virginal taut reaching sun's puberty in a new days sun in a new sky view a different shaped cloud about where the old one stood yesterday with more grey on its underside and a Venetian red cast to its belly loving the young
And their ways fresh the Mediterranean Congo beat pulsing around your *** soaked temporal lobe
Meets a turtle looking perturbed at a seagull who flirts with his shell on a bleached sandy white cloud on the horizon above

Don't remember what
It was
Or used to be
Before it was renewed into
Modern technology
A kitschy site for
Poets
A haven for wanna-be's
Like a Cedar Tavern
In a green wish village
Online
Friendships made
And loves were lost
But, cozy,
And now dark and hollow.
What other place but
Here could you ****
Into an ashtray?
Or get drunk
With travelers
Blind poets
And masked intruders
We could agree
To disagree
Because it was
Mostly family
We adopted
We became accepted
First time in our lives,
For many,
Now all those faces so familiar
Are replaced on the wall
With just ----  
Dashes
No names at all,
I recall them.
But here,
Now into a metropolis
Where strangers hang out close
Packed but alone,
With young names
Lots of Faith's and
Hope's,
Alexander's and Popes,
Edgar would turn over,
Young faces
Xbox accomplishments
As their praises,
And the skyscrapers of progress
Block all light from the
Sun.
And you can howl
All you want
Never to be heard
And the bar
Itself
Torn into pieces
Is in storage
I've heard
Someplace inside
The backroom
Of the CVS
pharmacy
There now

Goodbye
Hello Poetry

You may never meet
Your moment
Do the best for now
Sometimes the smallest
News
Is enormous
Become small
Apparently the karma's broken
Cause the earth's
Spin making you dizzy
Sit down
People just make
You more crazy
I get that way
All the time
Take a look at
That tree in the distance
Consider its conundrum
Planted as a seed
Eons ago
It lives and breathes
Goes through the motions
Of sending out leaves
Only to lose them
Come fall
And that tree takes
Wisdom to feel
So tall wise and wicked
To reach for the skies
It could have gave
Up
But it's planted
Like us all
To just be
Do best it can
We can learn
Wonders from
Barks
Limbs
Leaves
Sprigs
Seeds
Roots
Earth's spinning

The
Unmissable speck
Foreign body, so small,
Invisible to all
Just a couple of molecules
Barely a cell
With a name
Now labeled Chinese,
Emerged from a bat
Eaten
Or perhaps a
Lab in Wuhan,
Has taken over
Life and limb.
It has split,
Ever seen a cell divide?
Amazing.
Life
And we politicize.  
Long as you white
You can carry ak47s into the
Governor's mansion
Dressed in white or
Like the toughest
Guerillas or warriors.
When a man
Traveled 1800 miles
To volunteer
Gets taken home in a casket,
It's time to get real.
And the checks from the corporation
Sponsored protests get cashed
With old people dying
In homes alone.
It's about the machine, don't
You know.
The gears keep on grinding the
The bottom teeth we are.  
Our weakest are the pawns
On this table made for sacrifice.
I want to call checkmate,you win.
Little speck.

Entitled
By my rights as a
4g internet StraightTalk subscriber
3 gbs data unlimited
A month
Duly paid up
And my neighbor
Who allows me wifi
Pro bono
Gave me the password
Along with my inalienable
Rights to free speech
And my inability to keep
My mouth shut
Have,
Formed this imperfect, but,
Good as it gets, union
To comment like
An expert
On the political doings
As well as public health
Issues
Facing each
And every one of us
Using quotations from
The bible as well as youtube videos
Facebook posts
occasionally, local news,
To educate dumb *****
Incapable of forming logical
Conclusions.
I take it as a duty to
Inform them what *****
Means
Asking,
You have no mirror?
Questioning
The prevalence of inbreeding
In their genes,
Along with their cable
Subscriptions,
Asking, they don't give you a discount?
All you watch is FOX news.
I relegate the important issues,
Such as,
Global warming, windmills,
COVID cures corporate bailouts, who's
WHO
and the interest in who hideied KIM
The leader of Korea
To those who have time.
Like our leader.
He is awake all night
Fighting for
Our future.

Tweeting.
