Pancake (Part 1)


On Tuesday
i made pancakes
something done before
but this time
was sweeter
the syrup dripped
more than ever before
but better


the pancakes survived
and i followed them
through much of the second half
of a moment
and all grew fat
and happy
until one day someone thought
maybe this is not the best way

but then dimensional changes
governmental mostly in nature
were ignored


Hell!
someone just burned
an omelet of eggs

and the pancake
i am sure the damn thing is gone

who the Hell,
is watching the Bacon?

The one who wants it the most ...

there are no pancakes
because there is no treasury

Power of Love - Lady at 7th and 22nd











let us talk of love
something irrational
but fascinating
a moment of thought
when she appeared
with friends alone
pretty beyond
stopping for the day's hour

she seemed so logical
her dress
her hair
her earrings
all bearings of character
and i wanted all
to touch, caress
lust can be a modest word

though i spoke
and introduced
i spent the evening
watching her alone with friends
somewhere was her head

sitting there as one
watching everyone
pensive of else

Governmental Love - So Antiseptic

Love is my only feeling,
and that is bankable
because i always seem to owe
every woman i meet


why would i have faith in the US
when i know this

once i thought all i wanted was love
but now i know one does not know
we all search for what
any animal wants

surely not,
some hope

but after being slapped Down
again and again

i am in favor of anything
even everything

antiseptic

Corporate America














it was one Friday
a night sitting home alone
just tinkering on the keyboard
and no one was here

everything seemed to end
like the internet stopped
to pray

Friday
someone was gone
and no one had a care
of anyone
any longer here

all of them
slaving in their cubicles

but
then they all had left

gone as the day

as if they had never been

and for some this deception
is life

Tetrahedron

if i were to play
chess with her
i would not care
if i ever won

if she worked
i would buy coffee
eternally
to watch her


convenience

i am certain we can plant tomatoes and lettuce with robots, think of that - no more labor

The Martian










\
i prefer a 'sweet' martini
as opposed to one 'dirty'

its difference being
the salt
though i may not love
any lady any way
on any holiday
the way i should
i could never pass any opportunity
designed to provide
an intricate and ultimate
component
to all of nature
this is a message to You

you have been a pup,
perhaps even a puppet
a dancing bear,
an embarrassment

but i loved you

hell,
i decided it was
apparent
'girls just wanted to have fun'
and men were happiest
for it was the way i wanted them
to be

i even forgave
the whole 'tree thing'
the apples were not
magical
... i was just testing

you are going to die
anyway, ha!

you can have a sip and smile,
but pardon
i need to pause
to cough . . .

well i found you required
Rule
guidance
or you would not survive

and i knew
if you were incapable
of self sustenance
you would be far too much trouble
for anyone
let alone me

do you not see
i did much to ease your troubles
and in certain ways
i needed you

so i began giving rules
which seemed to never be sufficient
because for every one i wrote
it seemed another one
was broke
and yet another
rule was needed

everone kept failing
at everything i did,
even the man-made rules
to supplement those i wrote
faled too

i was such a failure
for thinking
this could ever work,
my father warned me

but then something
beautiful happened,
beginning as one
growing into a mass
stretching across
continents
it became phenomenon

a message
a truth

what really happened?

no one wanted truth
so they made it all up

i know this is extraordinary
but i am too
and everything you believe
is wrong
