A Poem Should Be (14)
Resourceful—
Like that home
Less mutt taking
In the winter sun
Shine on
The leeward side
Of a derelict’s hovel.

America Emaciated, Land of The Free Depraved
Eat your hearts out, you well-
Heeled so-called emancipated
Masses yearning to be free
Of guilt by association, for you
Too can now starve and torture
Your selves with plenty
Of generous home-school
Helpings of stark impunity.

(De)crypt(ed)
Who will calculate for us the cost of our decision to forget?
--George Seferis
No bones about
It—of those departed
And of their deeds
Most memorable,
Most haunting
Naught shall
Always remain
Unforgettably
Undeciphered,
For when all’s said
And done, who’s to say
And yet?

Reaching Poetic Inspiration In Four Easy Steps
1.
Wait long enough
For something to grab
Your fancy.
2.
Get ready
For nothing to pass
You by.
3.
Don’t ever
Blink in the wink
Of an eye.
4.
If nothing materializes, repeat
All steps above piously incanting
Ghost Riders in the Sky.

Nipped In The Bud
If only
Your resolve to turn over
A new leaf was just
As deep-rooted as that
Desire to bury what is most
Shallow in you, you just
Might stumble your way
To Fall, too.

Kong the Master Baiter say:
Year of Dog this year and you
Still surprised I speak
Your language? Do not be—
You see again
And again nothing
But claptrap come
Naturally to pussy
Grabbing prick
Like me.

Arrayed Amidst The Ruins
Every day standing is a lone
Miracle in itself, naked lingering
Vestige of a singular
Life spent in the passing
Panoplied columns
Of so many vain-
Gloriously fallen.
