My self was born XVII: XLII, Dies Lunae, XI.V.MCMLXIV at Latitude: 33-17'40'' N Longitude: 083-57'58'' W: Jackson is in Butts County, Georgia at an elevation of 705 feet. Interests include reading/writing, currently working on hodgepodge book: poetry, essays, other. Retired, Air Force. Divorced. Ephemeris heavily populated by Taurus: Sol, Luna, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter--my two daughters say--I like old things; classics, I would counter. Interests: formatting documents/tables, classical music *a pattern forms*, Shakespeare, Joyce, Jung: maybe I was born old. Sadly, I have not published anything—more critic than creator, so far. However, English major still tantalized by math.

Orion

Club held over
Red supergiant shoulder .
Orion on bended knee

Blue, supergiant :
Giant posing suppliant—
Fluid born: sea or pee ?

Eternally outlined by Lite-Brite™ pegs,
Racing across the black construction grid
To escape the scorpion’s stinging check .

Bar Hop

The bar is so low
It rules out any limbo—
Just step lightly and crow

Lapcat

What a frecking cat
My quality boy is—
Comfort expecting .

I exist as a lap,
A petter, and a
Food go-getter .

Lacking is the ape
In a restful state—
Patience testing .

Like fluid spoondrift
I shapeshift protective,
A systolic setter .

FogCam

The fog comes in
The fog goes out . . .

Comfort lies in a pulse
Rarely checked,
Momentary snapshots
Rarely specked—

The courtyard, and the coffee pot :
A recording routine .

The Best Words

Decomposing orange narcissist
Absent legitimate decree,

Just Orwellian hypocrisy
Noting :

Treasonous Republican under
Mephistophelian persuasion .

Adjudicating the Department of Justice

A claim post hoc
Rocks not the interloc
That frames the law clock
Tocking down ; and taking stock
To judge against fraudulent poppycock .

Pyrotechnicality

Fireworks are stupid :
Consider toxins boosted,
Fingerless schoolkids,

Neighborhood pets in distress,
And post stress triggered in vets .

Fleeting the flash, blinking the bang
Down come the heavy metals crashing like rain .

Puffed Up

Two cotton-candy
Exoplanets sweetly stir
To tease the local star :

Heed dancing with a besotten dandy .

When the Leopards Come

You’re in the find out stage
Of your fuck around—
Thoughts and prayers .

Water Hymn

H₂O .
Water is a chemical—
Ebb; eddy; flow .

Far from a Mickey-Mouse
Molecule – polar phaser :
Aerosols to glaciers . . .

Streams, lakes, or oceans :
The cauldron solvent
For an organic potion .
