To quit the death stick : A Poem

cigarette tax just jacked

up $7 a carton

a remedy to the economy

revenues gone, smokers down in flames

recession stress buster up in smoke

the weary can't afford to cling

to the one thing they really know

still less than chemo therapies

but too much to stomach

i need out from the clutch

of the nicotine death stick

its grip on me is tight rope

i am slave to the burning stick of false hope

comfort in tense times

stimulant or relaxant it's all the same

a deadly addictive fix killling its host

i've been down this road

more times than the spinning sun

the patch, the gum, the inhalant, the pill

what will i do this time to free myself

unimprison my body, my mind, my life

to go cold turkey or buy a turnkey video

showing some hypnosis technique

either way

they must go soon

my lungs and wallet can't take anymore

of this addiction bs

my clothes and home stench of smoke

my lungs darkened from the nicotine blunts

the hardest thing i may ever do

the smartest thing i could ever go through

the body is stronger than the mind

in the throws of the nicotine addiction

my heart and lungs

will embrace the oxygen rich fresh air

my mind and body

will go stir crazy without my fix

i need a clean break a moving on

saying goodbye to the coffin smoked nails

that insidiously made their way into my body's home

Fleeting Neural Idea : A Poem

ideas fly in the night's internal sky
fleeting thoughts run the gammit
mind wandering about
subject object polarity
dream, vision, projection

the right hemisphere emits
fleeting thoughts about the mind
brain zen is
here and there
thought, ideation, abstraction

synapsis makes lasered connections
webified neurons reflecting emotion
neural networked
internal electric grid
superego, transmigration, conceptualization

astral projections launched from dendrites
transmigrating soul launchings
endorphined now
self-generated quantum leaps
synapsized, intercellularized, globalized

visualizations abounding mind's eye
grey matter feverously dancing about
brain zen is
now and here
realization, illumination, enlightenment

Denatured : A Poem

Open up swallow the statin

typical American diet de-fattened

chin up nip tuck the unwanted wrinkle

plastic surgeon's cleaning up cash

an ego driven swindle

unpleasant thoughts just wiped away

prozac and xanax clear mind's disarray

altered tomotoes and growth hormones

shiny apples nature improved upon

mass feeding drones, food cloned

On the eve of my soul's reconstruction : A Poem

center of gravity on my dysfunction

skyward trajectory of soul intention

my future, co-created invention

the pandoran box opened indigenous smoked blunt

I gaze, intent to a prophetic rising sun

onto a railway line headed for north

the best, mentioned intention put forth

fighting entropy i cling to the sound

one hand, is clapping it was edgy and profound

riding the moon circular path

rise to meet the summoned sage and her staff

a soul left to rise from amidst ash

Futurespeakeasy : A Poem

when the mystical
becomes the conventional
when the phenomenal
becomes the liturgical
when the mysterial
becomes the spectacle

all bets are off, the dog track is closed
the mission of the mind is not fruitioned
no longer envisioned

beyond reason history revisioned
pawns of futurespeak society reimprisoned

slaves to electronic interface
mimic gods of war waxing and waning

pure critique of vast reason
orwell exhumation the grand illusion

surveillance culture rooted in watching
the whole-conscious market monitors
the unconscious behavior of the nickelodianized
craft

Hope. Fear. Reality. : A Poem

Thesis. Antithesis. Synthesis.

Hope.
desirous of so much
hopeful of grander things to come
wanting to leave one's mark on the world

Fear.
afraid of so much
dreading a worsening situation ahead
not wanting to become a genetic time bomb

Reality.
learning to accept what is
coming to terms with the harsh realities and treasured memories
being at peace within, accept that it is all meant to have been and become
