Regard the Pictures

Regard the pictures
Then with paper plain
Losing all strictures
Divide and explain

How portraits
Are portals to duality
Diversity contains
Roots to reality

Where you see sneer
Under neatly parted hair
Wholeness erases fear
If you dare

To explore
Your photo album
And not ignore
Memory’s freedom

Pictures hold no reality
They record death
A deed to finality
Of what lies beneath



An Organic Orgasm

An organic orgasm
Without sociology
A spasm
Without neurology

Be aware
Of transitions
Which spare
Unique positions

A sound
Compressing all 
Underground
Under a pall

Hear a composer
With honest simplicity
Give disclosure
To sonic complexity

Music is too free
More than speech
It lets us see
Beyond our mind’s reach

But musicians
Don't recieve scores
Like obstetricians
Who’d accept whores

So the organ
Holds more import
Than the woman/man
Of a certain sort




 





Wraith Writes

Wraith writes
The cat annoying
Open doors cites
Felineoying

The biggest fools
Bow to the kitten
Made mere tools
By alley oops smitten

Are apes so dumb
To adore the minor version
Beasts to which they’d succumb
On any excursion

In a feral place
Where felines 
Disgrace
Your silly lines

Which think 
How cute
But can’t link
How cats dispute









Hej Władysław

Hej Władysław
I was chillin 
On your new site
Great Grandson’s
Porch but in P’ville
Not South Slope

You were probably
Fifteen years old
When the first home owner, he just
Glided ghostly past me,
Never ever dreamt
About this site and us three

You weren't even
Here nor there
Instead transitioning
Ethnically at Ellis
In your head
To a new homestead

Why abandon a farm
To board a steerage ship
Steer a ship at your age?
Surrendering no power
Yet you’re named young steer
But what awaits on the horizon?

You boringly conquered 
Below the east river
Serviced ships
Harboring their cargo
Which sailed
Above your tunnel

Over a century hence
There is a clan, not yet 
A tribe, but widening
With each generation
All made bright
By your immigrant’s insight

So your progeny’s abode
Becomes a mental monument
Amusing to know
That the original inhabitant
Would never know you
Nor could you, he bar-code
