Free form accompaniment; reeds and percussion. Brushes on symbols
soft at first, watery trem
equalized when mixed with drone
strings
This one is entitled:
Weird Post To Form/Forum
Numbers 69 and 365
From where comes the gripper
banana foot flipping downslope slipper
wave at the sky a sickly flipper
still hanging on, still dropping dipper
in the well well well
What have we found here
there down in that well

A to Z
1 to 10
I woke today
And that was great
So I did what I couldnât
Yesterday wasnât that great
So today I did contemplate
The tasks at hand
And continue with my fate
Just a day late.
10 to 1
Omega to Alpha

Anger up and down the street.
Victory caught in the jaws of defeat
Left lane, right turn
Right lane, left turn
Angry candle, watch it burn
down
down
down
The world is a purple urn
unbound
that's not only bad. It's worse than terrible.
truth be told, the gist is old
the grist has mold

The little rocket
Went up, up, up.
It went so high
Then just blew up.
Itâs just another Musk
Expensive F up.

Winds to whispers to stone weapon eyes
puzzle the pieces that fall from the skies
Enormous black clouds send little white lies
shards of truth in dead mothers cries
Does it seem so hard to season
Where the babes do sleep to reason

Once, twice
Watch out for the mice
Three, four
I ran out the door.
Five, six
I picked up some sticks
Seven, eight
I burnt down the house to get even with the mice.

Thoughts On A Soft Rainy Day
I watched a young girl bring
A nearly dead animal back to life
And I thought
For all the things we could be again
But for the what and why and then and when

This reminds me of a William Carlos Williams poem I had to read in the 9th grade. The teacher was a plump, smug rookie: I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold I could just see Tubby trotting those weasel words on a roommate after mooching his cereal. Over the years I'd think of responses like Listen you asshole Do that again and the next plum's going up your backside and my dog will take a dump in your Birkenstocks. Forget all rules, forget all restrictions, as to taste, as to what ought to be said, write for the pleasure of it... - William Carlos Williams
You have potential! My 9th grade was in 68-69. Viet Nam was in black and white. So was the violence in my city. Monsters were and still are real. Not subtle. Easy to spot. They look like bullies and cowards. That much hasn't changed.

Erections On A Theme
Trump eats detractors for breakfast because nutrition. Ugly but true.
He doesn't give a damn about me, and he doesn't give a damn about you.
His empire of dirt is an empire of hurt.
Like a Bible for a prop, like a worn out dirty shirt
When a body is unhealthy, that's when disease thrives,
taking what is vital with dull and rusty knives
So don't look for Biden, he doesn't exist
Another middle finger from a crumbling litmus fist.
Propped up by dregs of vassal forces , vacant suit hard to miss
Formaldehyde and acid stained, sealed with an empty kiss.

From co(s)mic anomalies to pericope winkles
we tug at our skins and smooth out our wrinkles
we polish the water to a high glossy sheen
and matter the weaving from ends to the mean
for with that keen input, those bit roots, brash strokes
we eye of the tiger and all that evokes
in witness to wonder the standing lie down
the cacophony ended, with nary a sound

I looked into the sky today
An orange haze everywhere
Is this the beginning of the end
Or is it the glasses I wear
Itâs an Oompa Loompa kinda day
Waiting for the next bushel of oranges to drop
On my naked feetâs
Oh Fâkâs that hurtz
