11-30-13 Building The Perfect Bubble

fishes echoing music into a burning auburn subset searching for diamonds in a playground graveyard paradise defined before an altered state of subconscious thoughts dissolving through the fog of a late evening playlist rocking out on a Saturday night as the first day of December is only moments away from dawning while we are yawning because we have not had our coffee yet at the Plaza Diner smoking cigarettes at our table waiting on an order of fried mozzarella sticks with a side of tomato sauce telling stories while watching the action in the parking lot after the clubs shut down for the night switching back to new times wild out in a casual way forward into the future holding my breath until pigs fly south for the summer when the sun runs out of steam and Sasquatch stops believing in the existence of the human race

       

11-29-13 Two By Two

Millions of years ago
Intergalactic pioneers
Of a doomed civilization
Surveyed the galaxy
In search of a planet
That could support life

The third planet they found
Was perfect in every way
But it was inhabited by dinosaurs
So they killed off the native creatures
Then transported a society of humans
To recreate civilization on New Earth




         

11-28-13 Black Friday Blues

Door buster deceptions
Rock bottom prices
Wheels and deals
Trampled under
Hot sale prices
Dropping big bucks
Sleeping on the sidewalk
Shopping hard like a soldier




     

11-27-13 Friendship Message

In difficult times like these
The value of friendship
Cannot be measured
In size or weight

It is the feeling
Inside your heart
When you know a person
Is there for you no matter what

11-26-13 Lemongrass Haiku

Tastes like sweet lemon
Wrapped in blades of fresh cut grass
Goes good with chicken




       

11-25-13 Animal Crackers Crumbling

Free exchange of ideas

        Instant communication

Technological monsters at large

          Abusive intentions

Ready for revenge after ten years

                Asleep at the wheel

Faster than the speed of silence





           

11-24-13 Satellite Radar Tractor Beam

flying robots screen the area
hyper intelligent drone attacks
shuttle mission control command
rocket fuel software upgrade

astronauts in outer space received
intergalactic transmissions intercepted
extraterrestrial communications sending
messages traveling light years into the future





     

11-23-13 Sketches Of Winter Life

Higher pressure building up
Future track storm system
Cold temperatures move in
Below freezing over night

Tall mounds of snow growing
Patches of ice crystallize outside
Frosty crisp coating in the morning
Like everything is dipped in sugar

Heavy winds beating on the door
Brisk air pushing through cracks
Hot steam radiator whistling
Throw another log on the fire

11-22-13 The Umbrella Man

I stood underneath
the Stemmons Freeway sign
in the warm Dallas sunshine
and soon I saw the motorcade
winding around into Dealy Plaza

I looked into his eyes
raised my black umbrella
and spun it in the air

That was the signal
for the snipers to begin shooting

And as the presidential limousine
sped away under the overpass
I sat down on the edge of the grass
and wondered what we had done




     

11-21-13 Off The Cliffs

There comes a time
in a person's life
where they must
close their eyes
open their arms
and take a great
leap of faith



     

11-20-13 Disenchanted Dreams

All your favorite flavors
On display at the parade
Marching proudly uptown
Music playing in the air

Sugar baby gum drop army
Dipped in golden sunshine
Flying high like rockstars
Superstars dancing with demons




       

11-19-13 Post No Bills

Stop the depression
Art in a fancy package
Marketed to the heart



     

11-18-13 Infinite Connections Electrified

Reinvented imagination taking shape
There's a better beach somewhere
Vertical horizon stuck in gravity
Insects limit the height of skeletons

Internal medicine practiced seriously
Sitting in the middle of the ocean
Lost inside the heart of the universe
Echoed throughout mysteries of nature





     

11-17-13 Stage Door At The Lyceum

Built around the turn
of the Twentieth Century
old stone steps worn down
tangled telephone wires
a broken light fixture
without any bulbs in it
that tall glass window
with a wooden frame
and ugly green curtains
which have long since
gone out of fashion style
the original stage door
coated with layers of paint
built up over the decades
when you walk through
it's like time is standing still





             

11-16-13 Pasternoster Knickerbocker

Like a charm you flew
Away from me in the night
Hypnotized by the full moon
Forgiven for screwing it all up
With all the chips on the line
Catching all the fish in the sea
Coated in a heavy golden batter
Then seasoned with a pinch of salt
And served with a bottle of malt vinegar
For the best crispy fish and chips on the planet





       

11-15-13 Messages From Ancient Wizards

Mystery wisdom in merry whimsy
My old memories of the future

Tall trees falling for fast talk flip
Prolific trips into the wilderness

Outer space madness freedom flow
Investment bankers killing the deal

Something vicious haunted the farm
Anarchy in the city streets at midnight

Crazy sick electric click track kick back
Slick peaches enter the pie eating contest

Shattered mirror splintering pieces of glass
Alternate realities playing out simultaneously

Expression is the key to unlock the secrets of the soul
Let go of the notion and set the wheels into motion

Mental telepathy is a gift that many humans possess
Dreams become thoughts which transform into action

There is a constant battle raging between darkness and light
Unlock the magic inside your heart which will live forever





         

11-14-13 Downtown Snowflakes In Sunshine

running around town
with thirteen cents
in my left pocket
head first into the future

so many memories on every street
strolling around in the afternoon
stop at McSorley's for a drink
stumble home blind at night

wake up in the morning
roll out of bed onto the floor
gazing up at the ceiling tiles
staring straight into everything

all the disco balls exploded
after the Great Recession
took all our money away
now our pockets are empty





         

11-13-13 Toxic Oxygen On Earth

Long lines at the gas pump
No electricity in the morning
Keep batteries and a flashlight
We are running out of water

Earthquakes rumble underground
Run and hide out in the caves
We watched one final sunset
Before the UFO showed up





       

11-12-13 The Numbers All Line Up

Nothing made sense
Now it all seems to make sense
Six stories high above the ground
Back behind the old wooden fence

The wind blows strong
In shadows of darkness where evil lives
Underneath the overpass a scene went down
Magic bullets corrupted by outside influences

Shots rang out around the plaza
There was confusion in the President's car
Secret witnesses disappear into thin air
Mysterious circumstances cloud the truth

11-10-13 Midweek Bird Walk

Take a break from work
Take a walk down by the river

Look up at the crisp blue sky
Red wings cut through the air

Sing out into the sunshine
Flocks travel south for warmth

Lose yourself in the moment
Glide on the jet stream into destiny




       
 

11-09-13 Supernatural Snack

Creatures on the prowl
Spaceships flying overhead
Ghost spirit lurking behind




     

11-08-13 Instant Bed Time Bliss

drifting off
falling away
into sleep
relaxed deep
clear dreams
crosseyed
and crucified
on a hilltop
under the stars
surfing down
a moonbeam slide
into pools of tranquility
snoozing away in bed

wake up wondering
where you are
then roll over
and go back to sleep





       

11-07-13 High Society

Legalize the electric waltz
Rise up fast then come down slow
Deal with the reality that you know
Hidden perceptions come to light

Second sight and all that's right
Include the underlying themes
Twist subconsciousness dreams
Like a hot soul pretzel surprise

Inter dimensional
Astro romance
Outer space rocket

Sailing away
In the rings of Saturn

Travel through to
The next level of
Interplanetary existence

Have dinner
With dinosaurs
Hang out all night
With crazy monsters

Capture the light
At the end of eternity

Write it all down
To document
The experience





         

11-06-13 When Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday

Objects absorb energy
Contained deep inside
Carried into the future
Trapped for eternity
Emotions preserved
You can feel it

Worn throughout history
Surviving all the wars
Retaining intense memories
Leaving an imprint forever
Like a sponge soaking up
Experiences in the universe

Powerful artifacts passed along
From one generation to the next
The spirit of nature will swallow us
In the sands of time on the shoreline
Great pyramids shall rise up high again
And what was once ancient will be new

11-05-13 Bombshell Revelations

lightning strikes in masses
masters of destruction destroy
question the choices you've made
escape the pain by facing your past
make the right decision when it counts
change the ways your ghost shall live
falling deep into a sleep cycle caution
step into your future footsteps freely
don't mess up the game of life today
be the best human being you can be





   

11-04-13 Faster Than The Wind

blue skies smiling

          flying away

   boundless

cool rush of fresh air

    peaceful in descent

               sailing

     waves of freedom

dancing with majestic eagles

     




     

11-03-13 The Smoking Gun

Numerous people
running up the hill
shots have been fired

Crime scene science
hidden in plain sight
right before our eyes

Mysterious circumstances
shrouded in suspicion
working inside shadows

Infamous images of history
repeating in cycles again
stuck in a time delay loop

Don't believe the lies
they were all in on it
the game was fixed all along


       



   

11-02-13 Bloody Mary For Breakfast

connected energies combined
hot coffee with sweet sugar
ice cream cones with sprinkles
no photos can do us justice

friendly neighborhood crab shack
old bay seasoning on my tongue
sipping stiff drinks all afternoon
feeling a bit tipsy as we move along



     

   

11-01-13 Lazy Days At The Sea Shore

Ocean mist on a rainy day
Purple clouds turn the tides away
Seagulls caw in skies above
Lost in everything you love

Sandy feet on the boardwalk
Playing pinball games at the arcade
Salty french fries with ketchup
Cold beers under a hot sun
