YOUTH
we snuck out at night
crawling
out windows
across
roofs
dropping
to the ground
boots
colliding
with pavement
in
the dark hot
summer
night
a
car
sat
in waiting
just
around the corner
until
the Sun
showed
its face
peering
out over
Lake
Michigan
dazed
scattered
across
the grass
cringing
retreating
like
vampires
back
to our
suburban
coffins
back home
diving
into dreams
before
the
factory whistle blows
the
church bells ring
rude
alarm clocks
tearing
citizens
out
of their nests
dumping
them back
into
the raging rivers
of
so called civilization

A
POEM
millions of poems remain hidden
in hearts n minds n mouthes
of men n women across the planet
never to be seen , sold , soiled
subjected to public scrutination
manipulations of editors , printers
nor crucified by critics barking
from their faulty towers
a poem
is an outpouring of the soul
unfettered by intellect
unblemished
by ulterior motives , ambitions
a poem
in its purest form
is a One on One
with the Great Spirit ##

2001...Here
We Come!!! :)
egyptian
mummies
with traces of
cocaine and nicotene
strange
symbols
etched on
the surface of the earth
sculptural
architextural feets
of divine proportions
unchartered paths riddled
with speculation
blue orbs
hovering in the night skiez
the essence of the grape
unites the physical
and spiritual
nature is a shrewd alchemist
as an artist
she/he
has no peer
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ##
