I've never seen the moon the same way after loving you. I often wonder which of us is the moon and who is the sun - whose love is stronger? My conclusion may #clash with the scientific view. I think both of us are the moon, reflecting one another's glow.

Their eyes met at the staff Christmas Carols, beneath the harsh lights in reception. Two discordant voices - his flat, hers sharp. Her sparkly Santa hat #clashed with his festive jumper. Their teams were notorious rivals.

And yet, in that moment… love at first sight. #vss365

black and white photograph... close up of a small paper wasp nest as if some rose of petal ash...

who follows the wisdom of the teacher
not hiding behind labeling reach here
christ shun blood thirsty salt lot power mad
hand small brain less deprivation disguise
a moo oral consciousness
as if some rose of petal ash
what kind of blessings start
demonizing others in order to ignore sold soul

“Stop calling us fascists!! It’s escalatory!”

<turns to watch MH-60 helicopters drop masked agents into people’s homes, detain everyone including children, and segregate by blacks and immigrants>

“Fuck those kids…anyway, like I was saying, calling us fascist incites violence and you’re next!”

The mind can only be
somewhere for so long
before it's crushed
beneath the weight of excess,
an excess of pride
an excess of lies
an excess never named
and so a surprise
an excess of divides.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

My nose
Starts to wrinkle
Cuz I think
I smell a rat

Know why my
#Associate
Don’t seem
To have my back…

Oft I’ve thrown him
Neath a bus
His back
Tattooed with tracks

Guess this is
His payback
For the loyalty
I lacked

Dis gone be
A rough ride
If my little
Lackey scats…

"They fomented a great divide, instigated hostilities, and having no dignity, they showed no dignity towards others, causing riots, then they yell riots, riots, riots to send in the troops. It's despicable."

The #veil of darkness
might have the #power
to hide a million sins
but the #abused will rise up
and the perpetrators will fall
those who have cruelty
on their hands
will stare their guilt
full in the face
the sweetness of justice
will prevail

Each lie dims thy soul
we associate with masks
not the silent truth
denying what spirit seeks
true bond beyond thy own self

Wearing borrowed truths
we associate with noise
stillness calls the soul

This Furry
Swinger Party
Is not what I expect

It’s just some soccer moms
Swinging kids
With plushy pets

A poorly worded #advert
By clueless mom
I bet

Glad I left my costume
In the trunk
Of my Corvette…

Narrowly avoiding
Angry soccer mom
Protest

an oddly warm night for October
smells like quiet insects

Bugs Bunny dressed as a gangster holding a gun with a carrot sticking out of it

Did you know
Bugs Bunny
Did audition
For “Pulp Fiction?”

Bugs lost part
To Samuel L.
They didn’t like
His diction

He filed
An anti-wabbit suit
Causing star
Some “fwiction”

Number of
His acting gigs
Has suffered
Sharp constriction…
#vss365

It was everywhere
coarse on the tongue,
sand filling the ears.

Sought an #oasis,
conjured,
a semblance of life:
keekar trees,
cactus groves,
a tryst with the dunes,
and thee.

No water supply
sun ran dry,
bottles empty,
open jeep rattling on
just my dog and I.

My enemies are vanquished
with the wave of a wand
for I am a sorceress,
and I’ve stored all my darkest
spells for just this moment;

now that your moment has
come, what stories will you tell-
to save you from your destined
end;

Nothing will save you,
save your words for goodbyes

"In my dream it was a bit of a blur, but then I walked into an #oasis with women... all dressed in beautiful lingerie," Bob mused after waking up. "Really, and did they like your Y-fronts?" Nora replied, while she watched him yawn and scratch himself.

Good morning, beautiful people from all around the world.
A special wish for the safety of Greta and all the Flotilla humanitarians who are risking their lives to save others.🥰

"The greatest gift giving is your time and attention."

Not an #oasis but
A mirage in the sands
Of a planet that hides
Its most precious prizes
Behind costly curtains

THE TALLGRASS PRAIRIE PRESERVE You stand at the south edge of the largest unplowed, protected tract which remains of the 142 million acres of tallgrass prairie grassland that once stretched from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Today, less than ten percent still exists, found mostly in the Flint and Osage Hill regions of Kansas and Oklahoma. In an increasingly crowded and noisy world, what you see is an oasis of space and silence. Here you can experience the same beautiful vistas that greeted the earliest human hunters and gatherers many thousands of years ago. This area is indeed a rational treasure. Please treat it with respect. For additional information about this preserve and its unique history, visit the preserve headquarters gift shop and nature room, another ten miles north on this road. This preserve is owned and managed by the Nature Conservancy, a private, nonprofit organization.

What if
The oasis
We dream of
Is still
Here
Under all
Our fear
That ricochets
Like bullets
Across the
Tall grass
Prairie
And despite
The dangers
We make
And face
The buffalo
Still stomp
Remembering
The rhythm
We used to hear

I'm always searching
An #oasis between lies
Finding truth in you

‘What’s with the sad pouty face?’

‘I’m just going over our itinerary to Japan.’

‘And? Something you’re not happy with?’

‘I thought you said we’d see #Oasis at the Tokyo Dome. You didn’t get tickets?’

‘I said maybe.’

Monday morning
One hour late
She partied all night
Was her coworkers take

No one knows
What's on her plate
On her own
There's a lot at stake

Managing life
On a meager rate
Two kids and an elder
Yeah, that smile is fake

#FromOneLine

Oracle mountain under
Fire-gate bridge breathes
Alive in riddles
Thick in frankincense allure
Another dance in the mouth of time
Another deep clue
Another rhyme
Hold your heart at fire-gate
Inhale passion-logic divine

Yamazi's moon, with its domed artificial #oasis and fancy hotels, provides me the perfect environment to meditate on Zorla's request and the female Earthian who has become my most pressing problem.

What is this Mina like? Kaya made her sound like a survivor...like me.

“Step outside, summertime’s in bloom!” I say, but she just shakes her head & says, “There’s no other way.”

I don’t look back in anger. No, I don’t feel down. Now is not the time to cry. All I need are cigarettes & alcohol. #vss365 #oasis

Hunted love
Like #oasis
In the desert
Of my soul

Ran after
Every shimmer
That when found
Was dry and cold

Tho love’s precious,
Can’t be hoarded—
Or even
Bought and sold

Every time
I tried to buy it,
Turns out
It was Fool’s Gold

It only works
To give it first
Then see
What future holds

What a #conundrum!

A life lived—
happily? well…
married,
nearly 20 years.

They don’t speak,
can’t share a space;
A son voices wishes
in the ruins of disgrace.

A family
weighed in hands
by a civil servant
paper mountain of demands.

Paper dolls
glued together
ripped apart—
changed forever.

Life becomes a #blur
We speed through every moment
Forgetting ourselves
