heart in razor passage
Vocal cords abound through humid air
As eyeballs roam for goods and services
I catapult like severed horsemen
Urging freedom to refract from windshields
Baboon Software
The fabric of surreal
Technologized ecology appeals
Primordial mind ecstatic feedback loops
Bio-computer troops with baboon raids
Lurching software and mime sized
Memorandums, the turbulent data
Of an info-stratosphere equipped
Now to soliloquy the socialized soul
Through role-playing our baffling banter
The mystique of genderized alphabet
Polarities plug into an epic rewiring
Filmscape where magnetic tape
Plunges through redated terrestrial escape
As archetypal haunted houses create
The shadowy undercurrent of fate
Apache Scalpel
I want to take a scalpel
And surgically remove countenance
I want to fire a chainsaw
And massacre fast food consciousness
Sever and slash rinky dink remembrance
If you want to honor the dead
Let's go dance on gravestones
Not forgetting the bodies lost in Vietnam jungles
I want to take a hatchet
And slice clean modern education
Remove all doubt
That this is not what knowledge is about
More to the point
Let's cut the electricity
Rewire the main hardware
Start over and begin from the beginning
Before Genesis colonized the mind
When pure babies lay in savannahs
And a bastion laid before our hands
Suddenly became awake
Star Child and the Ape of Venus
Soundware rustles the tree of being
Sending signals through the spine
Ground water morphs into electronic light
Recycled moonlight spreads through sinews
Now we stand
After so many years coursing
Evolving, twisting, bending
Our canopy sprawls over the horizon
Giving food for critters and bees
In the starry night, apes are calling
They have rewired the trees
To fit their needs
Now well storied in a colony
Receiving manhood and tribal blessing
Venus takes shape beyond the sun
She has seen the centuries pass
With gifted movement she knows
Where the dark cedar grows
Now and forever in the bulk of the sun
She is patient and luminous
Stroking ape child and his striving ways
She wants to hear
What protection to make
For the new generation fervently awake
Another year passes
Mercury spreads his stolen wings
Sending off a messenger from the sky
To teach the prose of highway transit
Lamping a torch to new codes of the road
And revealing hidden messages
That pounce in the night
Creativity and Creation
Climbing totem pole inner space
Between virtual potential and physical thought
Energy strikes electric wires
As power snaps position into place
The peak of dimension virtualized
Sound and space, hidden gravity
From the womb of darkness
To the bursting beam of outrageous dancing
Consciousness forms light
Directing universes of change and form
Soul speaks from seed being
Conceiving blissful array of chosen creation
Embedded in the direct nuances of spirit
A message of articulate signs
Animals speaking ancestral tongues
Mankind sprung from genetic lung
Alchemy of Love
Take your raw material
And bend unto me
The coarse metals we will refine
Transmutate, warp, and respindle
Through wizardry of dance
Extracting luminous physiology,
We will free value from metallurgy
Exchanging strict elements
This molten process infusing
Will rebuild the architecture you see
You, my love forged through dreams
The mutant virtual labs of psyche
Bend unto me, my love
Allow this crucible to practice
Through time our love becoming gold
The Shedding of Birth and Death
Each moment grows
Birth and death
Shedding what was left
The chrome piece of time
Dangles like a wooden cross
neck lace, passionate for death
The stolen widow
Her extensions outstretched
From a windowless perspective
The universe encircles in captive dance
We are caught in every mired branch
Still sleeping under the sun
Talking heads prosaic in a pulpit
Breathe heavy in the humid church casket
Waiting to rearrange fate
My child fingers grope slowly
Politely, but still slightly disgraced
To be told life may be elsewhere
That heaven exists on the mantle
That God shadows every step...
Sudden Historical Reversal
Atomic moment stretches wide
Habits of mind glossy-
Imperial armor is stolen!
Death’s Revolving Door
Always meeting death with clean honesty
Fertilizing the fallen with holy hollow
Give up your guns and lines in the sand
Take these drums, remember well
We extend from ourselves
What we see from inside
Imagining the Pulse of Now
Electrical engineering
The holy grail of fortune
The ultimate casino house
Where knowing and loving
Overrides, bypasses security trench
The addiction to being pure
Simply to remove all doubt
And haggle over reputation
The morass of dull
The morality of scroll
Come hither to animal magnets
Through vibrant solar flare
The future rewires itself
Space Race for the Truth about Self
Space age luminosity
Barely there, explorations begun
What machinery could match
Rhythm of the tongue and leaves pointed
Barely there, explorations begun
Hired a bulldozer to banish dust
Rhythm of tongue and leaves pointed
Hushed the vibe of shadows in the deep
Hired a bulldozer to banish dust
Telescopes and rope will marry the deal
Hushed the vibes of shadows in the deep
A priest, a pauper, a wormhole in the stream
Telescopes and rope will marry the deal
What logic concealed face could bury the fate?
A priest, a pauper, a wormhole in the stream
i'm bleeding the coffers for identity
&nb
sp; What logic concealed face could bury the fate?
What machinery could match?
I'm bleeding the coffers for identity
Space Age luminosity
Duck Trapping the Mind
The interstitial space of existence
Drumming up support again-
Finally I catch the glint in your eye!
The Mysterium of Man
Something mysterious about man
I can't hold it in my hand
Nor read about it in a book
When I stop to look
The more I realize I don’t know
And never did
Man sparkles in between natures glow
The Sensual Curves of Space and Time
Forget progress stampede spelled in linear time
Money blues will destroy your very climb
Instead, see life as a squirrel hopping
Brazenly from branch to twig
or a troop of lions meditating
in the lush jungle heat
We are animals as well
Despite society's dizzy spell
Our hearts churn
With the sun and gravity
All the same
Not as lost children
But now adults we can reclaim
The power and mystery of life
Indulging in the wandering curves
Poised between November rain
Awaken body, mind, heart, and nature as well
We need every piece
In the grand composition
As we reach through the looking glass
Into our chosen future
Surrender on Stormy Nights
Love is a challenge
Love is raw in cinders
She places a barrier
As she poises for another
Anger is seething
So clearly embattled
I'm ready to call it off
Forbidding her companionship
On these gruesome terms
She says the future is uncertain
Writing me love notes from the sky
Wandering to me pitch after pitch
But still her past devotion
Blocks my entry
Caught in this triangle
Defenses are weighed
A sullen gambit turned mistake
I'm pressing to fight
Again as nature beholds
Still, her silent ecstasy unfolds
As she breaks down instinct
And resynthesizes
The portal of our love-
Once more
I’m patrolling the battlefield
Announcing that we charge
or retreat
But finally, I’m left to silence
Her subtle pattering heart
Forges my surrender
On this stormy night
Cosmology of Self and Ecology
In the last small armed grip
Of trenchant technocrat underling
Dissolved with poison stripped from putrid earnings
Tree of life displayed is churning
Urging the virgin men to give up toiling
To hold the last ember burning
And lay down the sword of foolishness
Vanished this wet dream syndicate
As dizzy spells of archaic control no longer fool
The articulate minds of creative surging
Young bliss beings in the prime of the sun
We will have known the war over
It could never be won
No skin could transform in its light
So with might is right ethic
Duality must banish
From electric thoughts so composed
A repose gathering
Nature unstrangulated
Trees unmangled
Soft sand caressed
As lapping waves
Lead us toward sanity
