Dumb luck!

As a young child, alone

i would hike many miles

on military reservations

exploring along unmarked pathways 

on trails which stuck in my mind, 

how to get back before dark

not just a walk in the park

never a care, How? Why? 

not quite defiance, 

self-reliance, perhaps

never a second thought

for what if... or what might

nothing i was taught 

prepared me for that

bring a young black child 

with a yearning to learn 

what i needed to know 

about animals 

with nothing 

but a natural sense of adventure 

as a driving force, 

a hope and a slight semblance&n...

Indoctrination

What started out as
a stone cold business deal

2025 Action Plan, Rob America
a license to steal wholesale

taking America back
to the plantation

with a side note, a so called civil war
meaning Black People extermination

Nazis and supremacists applied, ICE
were deputized... went live

long planned by the heritage foundation
in a nation never envisioned by the forerunners

so they did the next best thing
improvised...

Although, not during
Obamas time

was clearly...
an Abomination

which hit America
like a terrorist attack

dropped on US,
like a skunk

with In God We Trust
written all over it

got exposed as an absolute substitute
for the exploitation game plan

too cool to be plainly stated
its inception was orchestrated

by the fall guy in the spring
who would do such ...

Run!

Run! 

grabbed my bike 

by the handlebars

ran in the direction of home

still running

jumped full stride

landing on the seat

feet found the pedals, 

fast

pushed against them

strong, pumping long strokes

pushing against them 

fast as i can

dark clouds racing across the skies

street lights flicker to life

in waves it seems

hearing far distant thunder blasts

offset from the lightning flash

makes for a frightening scene

foreboding signs

this is not a dream

a cold blast of frigid air drops 

down upon us

strong winds kick up loose dust 

sending ghost trails racing...

Momentum

Almost motionless, we start

taking deep breaths, slowing our hearts

as visionaries we visualize perfection

lean forward into the wind...

in a single heartbeat pulse, begin

shoot for an ever rising tempo

like lightning... we strike

burning down track

maintaining intensity

as long as we are able

at an ever more 

demanding pace

good thing it's not 

life or death...

lucky for us

it's only a race

C2 

We flow together

Suns radiation sends energy
striking the waters surface

absorbing reflecting simultaneously
acting upon water molecules

Drawn aloft by temperature gradients,
spun by the earth's rotation

creating winds pushing/pulling
making waves rise and fall

sending surface currents
from shore to shore,

stirring nutrients from the depths
feeding tiny microscopic plants...

Generated oxygen in water
and in the atmosphere

Drawn in attraction
rolling with the gravity of the moon

in tides turning waters churning
in creatures who rise and fall

Ride waves from the past
and fall Into the future,

dancing to the joys and sorrows of life
in essence passing in review,

Passing key genetic codes between
Members of the species,

Such is life.

As life begins with you,
It ends for another

multiplied until no on...

40 Below

By divine design 

we arrived Right on time… 

An open question, not definition

Added complexity? 

The conditional awareness

Masking the ignorance 

and tolerance to pain 

Trial and error, master of the game

Save the arrogance, infection… 

which tends to make those 

so driven to go down in flames 

If persistence were a gift, we score…

Not just with a battering ram

To smash the walls. 

We devote our better selves

A gift to recognize 

recurrent patterns

In the mix of things 

which betray our hopes, 

bring unnecessary p...

Fire starter

We started out runners and climbers

as we tried not to become food for predators 

who found us to be tender, juicy

weak and tasty treats

imagine a home not unlike the flintstones

people being ordinary people

let's cheat a bit, give them a voice

Honey buns What's for dinner?

words when they were imagined, 

born from the need to communicate 

ideas, emotional states, territory lines

state of mind, imaginary traits

ways to trap game to provide meat on the table

those successful where favored

rich meant you were encouraged

to bring to the community more!

clever man... or women got props

Good!

clever woman made th...

Unruled

The snakes are providing 

free apples for all the Eves 

who believe T daddy knows best

And for All the Steves

ICE is recuiting NOW! for

Special military operations

forces to support enforcement

of the cardinal rule

To protect and Swerve 

the balance of power 

back to 1952

So that everybody, 

knows their place

Now including 

a claim of outer space

of a his-storical recordance 

of replays of past centuries

crimes against mankind

Don't mind US stomping a few protesters 

and criminals... in a subliminal test

soon to become anyone who resists 

the 2025 constitution... 

perhaps the blueprint 

for anoth...

Work arounds

Bright,

clean perspective.

Fresh paint

to exercise the art of living,

forgiving myself

for the missed understandings

of off based plans

and lost opportunities

finding bank shots

and rebounds

once the realization hits

wasted time, energy

gets recycled

by each newfound ability

with the discovery

of ways to work around

ways blocked

other means found

breaking the blockade

running for goals

rendering former defeats

into fresh opportunities

C2

Twisted

A single snowflake 

of many

falls in its own 

silent space 

carried by cold 

driving downward

following a twisted path

riding gusts of cold wind

through the forest

as trees moan in chorus

relentlessly crying

making a haunting refrain

moonlight dawning

just in time...

to find a tiny snowflake

at an angle just right

it caught my eye

for no particular reason

but, it did

and so i noticed 

its plight

among millions 

upon millions of others

as if to signify in this brief 

moment of existence

falling into m...
