Why must we assume
that time has a line, because
it has direction?

(#excerpt from "RAP TAPPED AS PAP")
"ultimately narcissistic,
like hate.
It’s fever-pitched
and does not edify.

It’s unfulfilled and fruitless
as is fear,
as helpful as a throat screamed raw
from rage."

OBSESSIVE OLIGARCHS

Their intent is clear:
Our world is their shiny prize,
and they will take it.

LOOSE CANNON
#Limerick
A prosecuting judge named Aileen
was as biased as ever we’ve seen.
Her critics were grueling,
but unwritten rulings
kept her safe from appeals, her hands “clean.”

Clarence Thomas, a Supreme Court Judge,
feels entitled after his long trudge
to get to a place where
he takes bribes, without care,
that America's rubes can't begrudge.

Genetics help explain who gets the ‘telltale tingle’ from music, art and literature.

SHOW US THE MONEY

Congress has the purse
hiding trillions in tariffs.
They’re holding it; right?

CALLING ALL UNUSUAL TALENTS:

This world of ours has
no sacred geography;
it’s all non-local.
Anywhere we stand may be
our flabbergasting center.

COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE

We now realize,
regardless of location,
it's the same cosmos.

ICE STORM

Fear creeps in like drafts
from an intruding tempest
upsurging in rage.
