Stunned <though awaiting>
Made dumb
By your passing
And numb<though accepting>
Of the eternal interred

Poetry like plates
Is valued
By ingrates
Viewed

Like my aunt
Had this cup
Lets flaunt
And disrupt

Analysis
Of words
The bliss
Of discords

And set 
A price
To get
Us sitting nice

Can a polymath
Be a comic
Discovering humor
Oft unfunny

Tombs sunny
Welcomed dishonor
A serene cosmic
But lumpy path

At what age
Or class
Will this skill
Be manifest

Not blest
Only the spill
Of a crass
Fake sage

I've been to
More moist urinals
Than true
Teary funerals

Come to
Think of it
You
Can't take a shit

Successfully
In that device
Designed for pee
Such a price

For plumbing
To try
Discriminating
In favor of the fly

Yet I’m in no rush
Nor would pretend
For some final flush
To be my end

Climbing up in
Youth
Stumbling down
In dotage
Feels
The same
Aims uncertain
Ends unknown
But this
Similarity
Bears a parity
In locality
Of finality
One peers
Behind a shoulder
The latter
Finds fears 
Dropping colder
Forsooth
Let’s let it all begin

It dawned to me
Being in a hall
Filled with music
Like subcomming 
In a chapel
Are ultimately
Identical reality

No, not emotion
Nor some specific
Method
Or translation
But a reality
That cannot creep
Into our stupor so deep

20,000 years nigh
The keyboard
Elicited a sigh
An abacus, toward

Solutions
In both math and language
Linguistic revolutions
Needing external storage

To compete
With paper
An indiscreet
Digital diaper

Ah so we know

Entries 
By the toe
Proliferated centuries
Ago

Ode to Ferde Grofé

When a name
Echos more than sound
Fame
Must rise from the ground

Not loose sand
Man you gotta dig
Suites planned
Transcendent gig

It's not lawful
To obey the past
Becoming awful
Awfully fast

Yet picking pizzazz
Jumped
Mixing all that jazz
Futures coolly lumped

Time and life
Just not real
A spark
Lasts longer

She bluntly said
Can you teach in a 
Nunnery
Dangerous gunnery

Surprised 
No longer disguised
Their ideas
Like spears

Pierced 
Me in a way weird
That no armory
Could salvage me

I orated
Over reception granted
Thinking what tha
No longer afraid
