thru the ears into the eyes the words
tumbling when not holding
to closely tight..
it’s Pidgin here for low esteem
rains coming twice today in the desert
one more Sun known about
was grandly obited today
Syn in energy
leaving behind great merriment memories
we pluck like feathers one by one
in the turns of our World
as we each in our own way
pass by […]

Since everyone seems to have an opinion about the mosque near Ground Zero (and President Obama has two), I’d like to ask you all a couple of questions:
Given that white Christian supremacist Tim McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building, shouldn’t we ban white churches from Oklahoma?
As New York City’s indigenous Lanape Natives died at […]

rage against the dying of the light
that lights the mind, the pipe,
the light bulb of idea
walk upright into the room of
no-rationalizing-wipes-away-
what was
and there was my loves
outside my window inside theirs
some now retiring some not quite
the satellite up the moon not quite
peaches ripe someone brings
“peach cobbler” answered by
“not till we’ve had our fill of fresh peaches”

A Song of the Moon
The moonlight breaks upon the city’s domes,
And falls along cemented steel and stone,
Upon the grayness of a million homes,
Lugubrious in unchanging monotone.
Upon the clothes behind the tenement,
That hang like ghosts suspended from the lines,
Linking each flat, but to each indifferent,
Incongruous and strange the moonlight shines.
There is no magic from your presence […]

all families are holy
sacred to their roots
our roots
ALL roots
chop off a root
up springs a tree
separate /
different /
equal =
eyes that refuse to see
will not have that choice
when their buck-naked-souls
arrive home
embarrassment first
shame second
remorse/atonement
or stick it in the mud.
Tom,
got any tobacco?

At the 5th Summit of the Americas, 2009,
you told the Latin American leaders:
“The United States will be willing to ack-
knowledge past errors where errors
have been made,” and, “We’re also com-
mitted to combating inequality and cre-
ating prosperity from the bottom up.”
to begin:
Withdraw U.S. troops, contractors,
hardware, and military aid from
Colombia.
to continue:
Close SOA/WHINSEC
Think peace
Study peace
Find peace

where is my Accidental Daughter?
did i lose her on hump day
by jumping to thors day
because she asked for mon day?
so little focus pocus out here
beyond Earth orbit
where sun forever shining
beyond human clouds
summer’s been put off
two weeks minus three days
to live or die she knows why
early birds keep singing
little cypher pens a peace
to touch remembrance

blessings in the desert
where we need it
i cry for swamps who don’t

if March winds come in April
why not rain in May?
it’s not always on the plains

then cold and sleet
will we lose our garden?

not.

bless your lil’ pea pickin’ hearts
knowing injustice when you see it
feel it, watch it happen

“Listen to your children, what they say.”
I hope that they are listening now,
their’s never never would.
if every promise by our new president made
had come true in one year -
there would be blood in the […]

Friends,
It was amazing. Every story on the front page of Tuesday’s New York Times told the story of the Age of Greed during which a system known as capitalism is slowly, but surely, killing us:
Insurance company greed: “Millions Spent to Sway Democrats on Health Care”
War profiteers: “Contractors Tied to Effort to Track […]

We know the “almighty” Power Brokers
could not get away by shooting a senator
some of us also know about the secret
government
work being done
in Sedona, Arizona
known as “mind control”
a living breathing sci fi nightmare
taking control of another’s human mind
fairly easy in minds controlled by alcohol
and other stuff i don’t know about
but i know “they” have been at […]

it it we re a suicide
and yer talkin’ to me
“how did you die?”
or do you believe in
ghost talkin?
is love stronger than death?
no, i don’t want to die
but if you and yours
only had rocks and stones
and we had the worst powerful weapons
what would you do to stay alive?
what is the next line

Dear President Obama,
I understand you may be looking to replace Rahm Emanuel as your chief of staff.
I would like to humbly offer myself, yours truly, as his replacement.
I will come to D.C. and clean up the mess that’s been created around you. I will work for $1 a year. I will help […]

not even may you be for me
a house cleaner of whom i need
being oxygen deprived as i am
don’t come to me again
in my dreams un bidden
on a bicycle like my first
admirer came
where did you lose your senses
of decency and causes
joining the throngs in the coliseum
built where […]

how many are still lovers?
how many still fighters?

inside your dancing shoes
of beautiful feet

what he had earned
Marco comes tumbling down the hill
if what he does now is illegal
or immoral?
He uses some of the loopholes

to keep from falling all the way
down to the bottom
and though he admires the many

“Give me five minutes more, only five minutes more…”
this she sung at sweet sixteen
this i plinked on a piano at eleven
the one magical time i stayed
where a musical instrument lived
after our e-strangement
now grandmothers she called me full of joy announcing
“I got my five minutes more!”
still in her 70’s
her five minutes more lasted near 3 years.
this […]
