It’s Coming
It’s coming.
Three more hours –
One year gone.
Three more hours
And it’s done.
Done
In
Three more hours.
New directions –
Some unquestionably fun,
Some not.
Some fraught
With I-don’t-know:
A glow,
A show or two
A high, a low,
You know, the usual;
A who-knows-what and-where-am-I
And all the rest of terra firma heading?
To those sad, bad, glad, alive and dead,
Kindest regards and
Happy New Year!

in 2014, the processes II Tags: Take your time & be honest
Getting Rid Of Aphasia
There’s no romance in being mute involuntarily.
Loss of words, lost for words,
I cannot speak. But
Write and channels open.
Sluggish thoughts flow from a tap so clogged
That nine times out of ten
It’s plugged.
I wait and cogitate and suddenly, writingly
Crews of rhymes, an inborn beat,
Slews of words replete with eloquence,
Done with ‘dumb’ and saying things I don’t quite mean.
Script finds truth I never can.
Minutes turn invisibly and comfortably.
If struck dumb there’s the dictionary or thesaurus
To be reached. Just stretch and fetch!
What may have been an inward looking chorus
Expanded, plumbed, steering understanding toward
A definitely unclogged drain.
I guess
I’m just
A slow, slow thinker who needs time.

in 2014, circling round eros II, definitely didactic Tags: can't isn't always can't
Can’t Screw Anymore
Trying,
Warm, affectionate, tactile –
That ‘take for granted’ thing, that energy –
It’s lost accessibility,
Willingness and push-drive notwithstanding.
Of course can’t isn’t always can’t.
Can’t can mean sometimes,
How-I’d-like-to-maybe,
Or intensive yes.
You know what?
Doesn’t matter –
Not a bit.
Random
Is a synonym
Just as exciting.

in circling round reality, to the child mystic II Tags: Absolutely absolute
Mister Absolute
Whether you want it,
Whether you don’t,
Always within,
Always without –
Mister Absolute.
Ignore it,
Abhor it,
It doesn’t care,
Always there, everywhere,
Belief or not,
It’s got you by the short and curly
Merely by existing.
Irrelevant, He/She/It,
Unseeable and mute, yet
Ready and accessible
To idiot, the destitute,
Crackpot, worry wart,
Self-taught, untaught
By reason of completeness.
