Ideological Addiction
Posted March 6, 2023
on:Addicted to the idea of who we should be-an illusion
Juxtaposition of control and fate
Locked in time ever present
Second hand counting up or down depending on the joy or frown
Like a clown faced monkey we perform to its tock letting it derive at what makes us tick
One hand our creation the other our downfall and the thin line eternally rotating through both
Second by second ascertaining our worth
Put a cog in the wheel and erase your expectation
Find contentment in the absence of containment
Concrete Jungle
Posted February 12, 2023
on:Ghosts in my mind tell me of things long forgotten from a time a part of me can’t forget. A part a person can not hide, even in the fathoms of lifetimes past-a sacred knowledge that is passed from the collective unconscious to the cellular existence…a birthright of souls from light to life. I miss the moist ground beneath my feet, the wind between my toes, sunscreen free sunshine, and berries on the trees. All I see now are their invisible, infinite shadows in a concrete jungle maze. Who are we in this dance of moments when the bell rings, and we race to the schoolyard with untethered abandon. So many bright lights trying to dodge the lamp shades determined to dim them. Vulture, or mouse, choice, or fate-we are all on this dualistic human rite of passage that our souls undertake…hard to tell sometimes which part is bumping around in the carriage and which is driving it. Freedom the restricted wilderness of our state parks, where for a minute you can taste the breath of eternity before closing hours when you return to the breath itself.
Traveler
Posted December 7, 2022
on:Time a tapered ticket taker on the platform of never ending travel
Soul weary or taking flight
Another midnight journey-frightened delight
Wanting only to be near a friend…or the end
Stop on the tracks
Look at the mountains rolling back
Get off and run naked through the blanketed grass-feeling the blades tickle your ass
Laugh without worry or care
Be all that you dare
Stare down the walls-obstacles in disguise-really just opportunities to rise
Travel alone together
Occasionally, or on the regular
Here, there, or anywhere
Just Travel.
