POEM: Figment
I'm in a special mode of mind. One in which nothing is ahead or behind. Everything is shades of a me that doesn't exist. So, maybe I'm a reflection of all that is -- in as much as there is an "I." I don't know how I slipped into this anti-solipsist stance -- believing everything exists, but I. I'm a figment, but since I can't be a figment of my own imagination, I'm not sure what flavor of figment I might be.

POEM: Calamity Came
We heard the sound, distant rumbling. We watched the castles fall, crumbling. The choice of running to the rubble, or staying safe in our bubble. But either way, someway it'd hurt with either hands or head in dirt. Some tragedies are too galactic, and words just sing anticlimactic.

POEM: Nom de Guerre
They called him "the Emperor of Pain," the they who didn't know his real name, a name that was comically disjointed to his reputation, a name that was to this man as that gentle lisping voice is to Mike Tyson, and so they gave him that ridiculous name, and he became both more and less than what he really was.

POEM: Finding Your Zen through Travel [PoMo Day 30 – Epigram]
I Pray for smooth travels... but not too smooth; bad experiences make good stories. II Mother nature is the kind of mother who doesn't play favorites. III Fairness and simplicity are fine, but the solution that works may be neither. IV Difficulties only ruin trips attitudinally doomed. V Think of lost luggage as an exercise in creative decision making.

POEM: Don’t Tease the Monkeys
Hey, naked baby macaque, who stole the hair off of your back, but left you that blocky hairdo? Perhaps, you didn't think your look through?

POEM: The Fair Midway [PoMo Day 29 – Symbolist]
midways announce themselves at a distance jangly music discords with organ toots arc lamp light and spastic dancing colors but i find myself there dream-style swift my disorientation is complete i can't tell color from sound / it's all loud nothing is in focus because all is in motion neon red is a shard of electronic music my eyes dart about looking to rest on something painless my ears try to hold just one tune from the cacophony twinkly music runs my spine as I wonder how a god could deal with all the voices, all those voices, at once
