Two wonderful feelings
lust and desire
after being barren for so long
want and fire
to crave a mouthful of intensity
ravenous within primal-human submissions;
the look the turn away the look again
silence
two adults acting coy as children
calloused, afraid of instincts
timid towards sexuality
the very reason for our existence
but those two wonderful feelings
necessary for survival
regardless of intention of path
again inspiring something better
within
lust
desire

To be so sure
yet still dare to change
Having the nerve to trust
to walk out into the blinding light
with faith that the eyes will learn to still see
To challenge the certainty
To question truth
To believe in only ambiguity
To settle on a stream
To float and start again
float and start again
float and start again
then
float and start again

Capitalism is not a form of government!
Sing it out as a mantra of the modern man
because all too often that singular truth is forgotten.
It has taken over,
do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars
The singular vote does not matter anymore
so I hold tight to my dollar
Not out of reverence do I embrace it
but out of reluctant need
My dollar is the only voice I have
in this fairy-tale society you all have created

you should have texted me on my cell phone
why would you call me
i just cannot understand
what would bring you to do that
nothing about it makes any sense
you have the fingers
you have the time
why would you call and not just
text me
text me
drop me a quick note
don’t you know how busy i am
don’t you understand I have priorities in my life
that i must accomplish
there are things i need
there are things i need in order for me to be
the person i want to be
the person i am
the person my destined energy needs to reconnect with
the giving philanthropist
so i must stay focused
i cannot have these distractions
these phone calls
and i cannot put my phone on silence
why would i do that
what if i get an important call
i must stay available
i am really peaking right now
i am really about to bring in the serious money
then i could give
then i could do good things
the things i always wanted to do
not now
too much to do
so
please
text me
just…text…me

Jack Kerouac was correct,
understanding the gray sadness of America
the beautifully perfect cloud of living
It is the energy of the
individual and collective
that is a shroud over this land
It is all a result of a nation’s creation
a haunted inheritance
this weight, this ache, this sorrow
Karma or consequence
every one of us three hundred million
share the burdens of our historic gluttony
The pressure, the anxiety – we all feel it
the actual reality often held in contempt and disbelief
but he was correct…
all that sadness, all that time, all that America

Isn’t life wonderful?
It is ok..
humanity is allowed
now and then
to scream it out
all so big and brilliant
and to believe
and believe with confidence
This, one day, will be
what life was
how good it was back then
this moment, right now
is
no different than
what we believe, right now
to be the golden good times
Yearn now for now, then
permission is granted to you
Look up, breathe, smile
then move that beautiful body;
The time for god-fearing repentance is over
evolution is nearing completion
You are perfect
and life is wonderful

There is a penny on the floor.
It is in front of me, across the aisle,
tails up, shinny and new.
No one else notices
but it’s just sitting there, undisturbed
real, brand-new money.
MONEY…
just lying on the immaculate train car floor.
