Celebrating friendship

...motivated by a breakfast meeting with a close millennial friend.

Life is a set of journeys; some chosen, many forced by circumstance, fate and the wind.

Along each journey multiple paths give opportunities for choices and from the experience of those good, bad, happy and grey decisions, knowledge comes.

Electron's Mate and Cherokee

Electron's Mate

Tides gripping feet
in Istanbul's pollution
dash meets night

long in sight, poison grew

cue

born of Jane

vinging pleasures

in Botticelli

never rubbing Buddha's belly

selling radio

fox hides and

jelly

grabbing angels

opulentus

If Clytemnestra knew?

Sucking corn of g m o's

stalking immigrants to go

protons sinking

Ice Cream

Marching down

the days before

pushed in dreams

of color...

Kindred of the poor

blessed in time and place

barefooted to cities of the night

taking flight

carrying Mother’s anger

and hating

it

a yoke of time, puritanical

Lifted, somewhat with age

infirmity at the door

wishing more delights

Granddaughters


Granddaughters

As I write, I worry about your futures

cause aspirations of two women, queens to be,

children of presidents,

Ivanka and Chelsea

dominate your playgrounds of artifical turf

lifted by money and the media it affords

seeping into the conscious of millions

overwhelmed by closets of red shoes

They may inherit the crown

Vegas bets so

White Light Bellows Box Machine

Roll the language up the hill

bee still new heart
much pollinating yet to do

endangered

living anew

bright as morning dew

wet with appetite and fight

mighty fine delights

bee strong new heart

smile

the horn blew and blew and blue

bee meek new heart

butterfly by the tree

ladybug bumping its way

saving lucky days

Muse, II

Tops go

they spin forever

crossing eyes

in disguise

as is their wont to be, their ownership creed

screaming link to me.

Meantime,

Kurdish, best old friends in ME, get shit upon by NATO

Turkey

makes gravy of this politic

that's too salty by far

this...

biscuit of champions.

Damn the pusher man

bee stings now cost $600

each

Preach without delusion
