Awful Bog
That the U.S. president's speech
has declined into bits of blather,
a handful of flaccid bigoted prods,
and droplets of rancid smarm
sharply summarizes the state
of the nation's health. He is where
he should not be because our sense
and sensibilities continue sunk
in an awful bog.

Italian Coffee Pot
Caffeine priest in a silver
cassock. Octagonal alchemist.
Silver bird gargling dark steam.
It is in the pantheon of small,
essential pots that lead us
kindly into our daily labors.
It is the beloved mayor of the
stove. It is a three-part harmony
of form and function.

About Last Week
The old days--last week: hard not
to yearn for them, their billions
of images and messages from robots
that made them so special.
And that's not to mention
all the official depravities
pursued worldwide. And it's a
piquant era in America.
The noxious gas that fills
the nation's balloon president
leaked out and anointed the hate-
filled land. The White people
in power who can stand
between his madness and
catastrophic destruction did
not, do not. What a time it was!

Centri-Fugue
Mind's centrifuge spins in self-defense.
Attempts to spare the core from engulfment
by noise shocks sales extortions hate;
and drowning by social media. Centrifuge
plays a centrifugue, its own idio-
synchronized music, which insulates,
and which also helps mind evade ego,
culture's target. A not-you seems
to glide in the fugue. Glowing
multi-colored rain falls. "Starwater,"
it's called by locals, although
there is no locality. The fogged
not-you folds itself into an unbounded
flow of other disengaged personas.
Soon sadly your non-self hears a noise,
recognizes it as name, and everything's
recalled, ego re-established. The
spinning and its spun music cease.
Your tense sense of the world resumes.
Out of digital Hades comes the flood again.
