Things pass through your mind like islands Glowing and catching the windowsill sun Like diamonds patching through your calls to icebergs Two textures of mind, one feeling of self In the coherence Out of the coherence Randomizing tests Letting it flow Letting it be empty Taking up subjects …Bring your ‘Creating Poetry’ book next time […]

Turning Off the World
Antisocial activities Shutting out the world and drinking Turning off the caring Just blissfully Turning Down the Volume But there’s an ant in the bliss You know it can’t last And burns all in its wake I write this 103 days sober Today is a bright new day
Permission
You have my permission to disregard the meditation I wrote and do something else: /// Like / Walk along the side of a stream endlessly / Like / Go through a laundry list of affirmations in your head, examining and discarding each one / Like / Planning your to do list / Like / Trying (and failing) to just watch your breath and think no thoughts / Like / Criticize yourself for doing the meditation all wrong [….]

Song / Words, that Stick in your Head

You are forced /
to work with /
what you have’/
and proceed /
from there.

Deceptacon Song – Postcard Poems – Non-Representational Poetry
Body 1: Intricately depicted as a bejeweled mosaic of sparkling light sources, ready made to party & unbroken by fears of fascism, consciousness parsed the multiple streams of words flowing past her slightly fragmented & dissociated mentality, reconciling each way, going through centering filing past, the music & words turning & braiding together while the […]
Save the Oxygen Postcards
In addition to The Key of Sparrows, I was also planning to get these printed before trying to do something about the 2024 election took priority. So now I have finally gotten these printed too. I think this is a pretty potent and concentrated message. Text:
