Woe

lite sabers

woebegone’s

a funny word

it seems more like directive

what the depressed

might well request

of trouble to correct it

but woebegone

means woe•be•there

at least it does on paper

though Obi Wan

Kenobi’s woes

are flavored more Darth Vader.

U say Windows → I say…Curtains!

patchwork-boy

Guise & Urls,

in webbish world,

is widely de rigeuer…

a jacket donned,

for prose & drawn,

for streamed-up caricature…

It’s good TV–

like news that bleeds,

like natural disaster,

’cause status quo

is just so slow,

and Internet is faster.

yes, Guise & Doss

are sugar floss

are airbrushed bytes

e-lucid’

a sweet that melts

unreal * unfelt

a Brand-o bettor muted…

It’s Vegas hair

piled up to

^there^

it’s meming, miming boxes–

to bump 2D,

3D extreme,

a circumvent, but pompous…

Y U waifish?

’cause your claws

R tong-tipped tasty?

Jel’ fish

stung neurosis

Blue-fish?

Tinned & Tune’d fish?

No fish

I wish

Finned & Food fish…

say fish

grey fish

try a new dish?

hack fish

blackfish

wants the phat fish…

Point A

ocean heart

waves stem from world’s core

gather, pulse & crest

scattering to know the shore

~

complexity no more–

the one, dispersed & separate

waves stem from world’s core

 ~

–a spinning molten ore

–a chaos measureless

scattering to know the shore

 ~

reach, recede, re’curr

in’ pact harmonious

waves stem from world’s core

~

an affinity of yore

in infinity, so blessed

scattering to know the shore

 ~

is Nature in full force

is Nature at its best

waves stem from world’s core

scattering to know the shore

Auto Pilots

social_newtworking

thinking can be onerous

a spinning wheel

on synapse bus

a thousand loops

in Voids-R-Us

a complex groove

~in disco club~

it really asks a lot from us!

But Gates

has changed that process up

freed our brains from thinking stuff

gave those Jobs to Mothers Bored

Bit that Apple

–f*cked us more–

then logging on

with sticks from Tree

of Knowledge vast

–but streamed & screened–

we settle in

like Lambs in lee

ignorant

(so blissfully)

of side-effect

as Cursors

Gates at Park

MagicK of Hoo-Ville

barn_owl_1an owl

came to me this night

a portent, he

I knew on sight

at end of loam

in deep twilight

in magicK gloam

en*vision bright

on silent wing

did bird alight

drawing wings

as I drew breath

murmuring

a thanks for bless

determining

what ranks as less

as sentinel above observed

a pray in pause

and knew my words

soundless

groundless

sentry eyes

followed mine

en’raptored sign

confirming that my

Ken of Souls

is legacy

is

~shore

&

sheol~
