Sadness Is The Last Pear
Because I break into blossom each time
I step out of my body without my mind,
I breathe the happiness of lonely wind,
embarrassed when my brain begins to chime
with passion of ambiguous respect
for how our

Next World War
We may survive the next world war, or not,
with cheerful laughter of the Argonaut
who cancels quest to steal the Golden Fleece
in vain attempt to establish world peace
by claiming every land on Earth is his

The average employee is 400% more productive than 40 years ago & earns less than workers made then.
Thats the equivalent of working 5 days a MONTH for the same productivity & making the same pay as they take home now.
There is a reason our grandfathers were able to buy a home after coming to america with $5 in their pocket.
Where is all this wealth going if not to your pockets?
BILLIONAIRES
Not earned- stolen. Take it Back!
Light-Winged Dryad
The light-winged dryad of the trees calls me
to dance with her in blooming hemlock grove,
so into numberless shadows we twirl
on pungent shore of sparkling Lethe stream
to ease sharp ache of sorrow in our hearts

This has nothing to do with doing things correctly, reporting to the immigration officers etc. #Trump is deporting people who entered and remained in the #US legally - did they really think they would stay there if they never sorted out their paperwork?
With the exception of #nazi #Musk, ALL other foreigners in the US can be deported - and a huge amount will. They'll report the individuals and keep their money and possessions.
The #Americandream is now the #americannightmare.
The American Dream is real, it's just a million times more likely to live it if you have won the birth lottery.
Tides Of Our Ocean Mind
I find the natural history of my soul
as primal star-glitter of the First Flash
in crystal geodes of the agate stone
that reflects memories of ancestral brains
woven in tangled genes of my sponge brain

New Adam Of My Heaven
Created by fierce passion of my father,
I ought to be good Adam of his heart,
but I feel instead like foul fallen angel,
driven away from lush garden of joy
because he believes I am not his son
rather than for

Improve Portrait Of God
When I stumble in the watershed days,
struggling to survive gushing flood of change,
I realize with wry laugh of aching hope
that I failed to improve portrait of God
based on performance of powerful men

Slow Swirl Of The Sea
Now that I live free from slow swirl of the sea
darkness folds itself as my eager heart
when I walk over hills of joyful death
to play role of the hermit in their play
on the plain where riderless horses wait

You get the impression that #poverty is made and continued by design in the #USA. And there is almost no incentive for the #billionaires to end poverty at all, although they could very easily by just stopping #taxfraud or collecting the taxes that are already due today. 
#Money flows to the super #rich (which pay less #taxes!) instead to the people in need.
The #AmericanDream is an illusion.
What a shit country. What a shit system.
Plagiarize Your Dreams
He cannot help but plagiarize your dreams
with serpentine grace of the alphabet
that leaves corpses of truth in icy streams
seeking resurrection from Baphomet
who plays violin on the hill of skulls

Cathedrals and churches I guess need to stay relevant and afford to keep replacing the lead on the roof…
But the idea of a Great Gatsby Ball in #Ely Cathedral at this particular moment in time suggests no one involved gets Fitzgerald’s message that the #AmericanDream of rags to riches glamour was just an illusion. Happiness is not built on wealth.
Cherubic Frame Of Fear
My shadow wounded by the silent sky
transforms into angel wings of desire
I cannot use to glide above this world,
for my heart is heavy with songs of death,
compressed by gravity of mute despair

Night Of Everywhere
I seem to be stark light of loneliness
when I walk with you on the signless road
to protect you from sorrows of the world
and give you fruit I steal from Tree of Life,
companions in the night of everywhere

2/2: #JamesBaldwin prophetically understood how the #AmericanDream itself was the engine of #inequality. It seems obvious now as we witness #capitalism in its last throes, but it was revolutionary in 1965.
"What is crucial here is that unless we can manage to accept, establish some kind of dialog between those people whom I pretend have paid for the American dream and those other people who have not achieved it, we will be in terrible trouble"
1/2: Today is the 60th anniversary of #JamesBaldwin vs. William Buckley debating at #Cambridge the question "Is the #AmericanDream at the expense of the #American Negro?"
I urge you to watch the full debate below, not only to witness #Baldwin's extraordinary oratory skills, his emotional intelligence & foresight, but also to suffer the pretentious, prejudiced & wildly unaware argument of Buckley, which explains the wilful laisser-faire attitude to #whitesupremacy.
