Ugly Plastic FernDoctor’s office
The fern in the corner is plastic
They couldn’t afford silk?
There is nothing refreshing about it
There is a candy jar
The old guy has been up there six times
I know because he brings the wrapper to me
I am sitting next to the wastepaper basket
That fern is disturbing
Anything that ugly should not be shared
I would be doing...

The Horse Named MaybeI bought me a horse from a feller named Clyde,
said, "She’s gentle and sweet, just a joy for to ride."
Well, "Maybe" she was, and maybe she weren't--
the first thing she did was dump me in dirt.
I saddled up hopeful, boots shiny and proud,
"Maybe" just yawned and sat down on the ground.
I pulled, and I pushed,...

To Dream in Binary and Bits I.
To dream in binary and bits,
then copy, send with virus-like,
electronic, image file hits.
To dream in binary and bits,
takes computer programming wits.
Like Lawnmower Man, Musk's god-like:
but Elon's prone to enraged fits,
when Teslas burn by fiery blitz.
II.
A.I. Chatbots, like Elon's Grok,
have smarter...

REMORSING OF DEVILREMORSING OF DEVIL
False promises and fancy talks,
You are narcissist and not God.
Fools try to make other fools,
Believing that they seem cool.
Dawn to dusk mind has a fight,
Perplex life and has no light.
Empty hands and filled eyes.
Dead man moving here and there,
Justice of cosmos is very rare.
Hurting heart and breaking belief,
yeah!!! you...

KEEP THE TOXIC AWAYKEEP THE TOXIC AWAY
SWEEPING UP MY HEART,
PUTTING THE TOXIC AWAY.
LIVING IN ECSTASY,
KEEPING MY BODY SWAY.
SING MELONCHOLY STRAIN, REMIND ME OF ALL PAINS
MEMORIES OF PAST MAY COME AND GO,
BUT ONE NEEDS TO BE IN FLOW.
NOW CESTEN MOTIONLESS STILL,
AND MOUNTED UP THE HILL.
MUSIC IN MY HEART AND I DANCE,
KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT BY CHANCE.

Desirable TruthThe old facts lie, the old truth dies
Everything needs update
The new facts open our eyes
Revisionism is great
New lemming-minded must observe
This harsh reality
The world we thouroughly deserve
Our ancestors couldn’t see
So after cleaning it looks fine
This good old brave new world
Its pharisees and philistines
Its glorified absurd
What’s new, looks old, and in reverse
Its all the same,...
