Hoary star’s frosting..twinkle inna eye, Ay! only one left ’til morning light erases memory of cosmic cake icing, icing, –the works! washes ‘way majestic night’s black-blue sway – universal – over sleepyhead snorers, tucked in lumpy quilts, buried under soft pillows, z-z-Z-z-z-z-z-z-z,–tha’ MOON!, moon, see the moon..Frosty the moonman dancing around stars; and what’s more it may seem, ahh!it’s alla dream (one c a n wonder). Nice fire will take the bite off before he gets here, Winter..winter, winter, old man winter. Winter, Si! si, ese, si, winter..look out ta win-ter and SEE! frozen icicle rainbow fingers stabbing steamy snowy hot sunrise in his hoary face, –or ojo..eye! Ay, ay, ay (I, carbon). ~c.
P-s: En la tierra de ciegos el tuerto es rey.
Though there are no rules, there is a certain way poetry must be written. (Does not depend how you define I S) The moon is not the moon, stars are not stars; and thee earth is but a platform for our observation (of dose rules). So what do we see? We can see that some are predestined to be poets and to sit on lonely hills and notice a universe that obeys laws and turns it’s self through the cosmos on a definite timetable – like clockwork – and only da muse knows dat rules were made ta be evaded, altered, busted-open, et cetra, etc..by da likes of Shakespeare, Wordsworth, da ‘T.S.’, and udder ‘privilegees’, milkin’ it (in the poets’ Hall of Thee Immortals). The muse conveys to the doggerelist he is the E-special one, set apart from other creatures of his kind for a special job to do that only he can perform..especially for such tasks he alone is uniquely qualified, eh! or set apart. Who else is there in all the planet and all the poet-mansions spread around that can make a moon into a mole-hill, captured in the glimmer of one squinty eyeball poking up out of the dirt reflecting the Sun’s return? or liken night skies to the broken-down, rusting roof of a miner’s shack hastily thrown up in shadows of golden, lonesome hills, straddling shores of an erstwhile lake..dry like my prose (I suppose) ‘her’ pinprick light leaks penetrating (s h e being the stressed metal roof) her pinprick light-leaks..poking, shall we say? SHAFT’S of brilliance down in his disheveled study, and sprinkling da sparkly light-beams and other pronoun’s elsewhere, anywhere, stunning! in passing, his progress down-the-hall to the bathroom for his morning constitutional, –thee Constitutional..ridden by who! “Whom??” said the owl from rafters too wise (grammatically speaking) to comment on, or to dissect ANY of the foregoing as he absently prunes himself working his head a-round, and around under his wing’s wingpit; and prunes of morning, doing their usual work on the poet’s digestive tracts, there, buoying-up the tummy’s spongilicious floor, and freeing him from remnants of a past repast of the past, –passing, with a flush! through the plumbing pipes, and all (one can hope) &change the waste for fresh nutritional intake, replacing that stuffy plugged-up feeling with a newfound sense of freedom..and relief! unburdening our selves, our bodies/ARE BODY’S, AERSELF’s, “Arf! arf!” of what has been, etc., –moody, bloody, morose, but! chuckliing inwardly at the jobs assigned ordinary mortals..a glum, grey citizenry of TV-watchers and monitors foreconcluded to vote in elections, which – we are assured – will change the course of thee history; and just might,MIGHT!justify the means to an end, –end of all de mean poets! here on our little dusty speck of dirt hung carefully on dis chimerical chimney of a so-called universe..with care! stalking our chances of survival, on tippy-toes, in the face of a (________) sun giving us all our renewable, sustainable, diversely energetic (+inclusive), ahh! (=fair.share,social!justice/whatever) stuck on a insular recyclable plasticine dead spot on the infinitely redundant circuit-board of space’s giant vacuum-cleaner in space, a KIRBY one with an overload re-set button..dere in dat hall closet over dere. Ready to come out yet? out of R closet? in space?? There it is poetry-lovers, poetry without boarders. Plus no rules! are we bored yet, ha-ha. SPACE FOR RENT ~c.
Cats. They have cute faces and sleep all day dreaming of killing something outside..something warm-blooded, also, with a vague awareness of the dream (their little brains are approximately a fair match for each other). When the cats wake up they want food. Not just any food, but something they can eat. So a can gets opened with a KRINKLY-KRACKLE! its contents dumped on the dish; but then, it’s not enough..they remember. There’s a thing out there and they need to find it; and kill it and eat its guts. A gopher is ideal but any small mammal will do..even a rabbit! (a helpless bunny). Like an Indian scout, cats look for signs around the yard, a broken twig, or other evidence of the quarry, coming and going from its base of operations. Then he zero’s-in. Cat’s a patient hunter. He’ll wait indefinitely, watching the mound of earth – freshly excavated – for any slightest movement. Meanwhile, the person’s at work, grinding away to pay the rent (delivering packages or something); while the feline focuses on something really important. In those moments neither creature has any awareness of what the other is up to. The human’s acting under pressure to perform, ruled by a work ethic, or whatever, –the cat is relaxed, supple, controlled by impulse; and that impulse is sanguine in nature, driven by a thirst for blood (the person may fantasize about a similar fate for his boss but most likely will repress the fantasy and concentrate on getting the job done). The sun sets on whatever happened in any case. A car pulls up and parks in the driveway, its driver gets out and goes in the house after a long day. Cat’s on the couch, catching a few ZEE’s. Renter goes in the bathroom to sit on the toilet and appreciate a moment’s privacy; and sees blood all over the bathtub, –and its unhappy source, a small rodent with cat-punctures, held in detention, unable to scale the tub’s porcelain walls. Pitifully, the person carefully scoops the baby gopher and removes it to the outside..where it belongs. And the cat follows to finish the job. How horrific. WHY?! I guess he learn’t it from people..him and his cute furry face. ~c.
Why vote TRUMP? Because!!!! Don’t let dictators like t h o- s e dictators dictate who your next dictator shall be, –Ka-mala for example, she wants to be your next dictator..on Day 1 (actually she’s been being that so nothing new anyway); but ‘Kam-Kam’ (what’s inna name?) she got’s experience being a dictator because she used to take dictation from Willie Brown, a powerful left-wing dictator dictating his dictates, dic-ta-tor-i-al-ly speaking on the dictaphone..in the liberal, marxist’s-run dictatorship of democrat-dictated commiefornia (where we got’s lots o’ dictator’s); and before all o’ dat she was a dictator dictating at the MacD’s: “No! that does not come with FRIES! you pay EXTRA!!” (for dat). So as we can see, she has lots of experience with on-the-job dictating and in various dialects (and districts). So don’t call her an Indian, no,NO! don’t YOU, dere! She is not!! she is a native African..native African-descended little girl from the Bay Area in ‘merica (like in Frisco) who likes her ‘fweedom’ and who once suffered in infamy under powerful dictatorial dictators deep down in Dixie, duhh! dumb strongmen like Biden and Benito Mussolini (uncle-in-law of the famous Dictator-of-the-House Nancy Pelosini); and Andrew Johnson, –Dictator-and-Commander of the totalitarianist rebel confederate insurgent&insurrectionist&racist dum-dum’s, those flag-waving, radicalized, weaponize-extremist right-wing traitors and bitter enemies of “FWEEDOM”..white-pow-weh nazi’s who hate her on acc’t of her religion and gender and because she is black and a female (a n d a woman of color); plus pro-LBGT, –Q!+SDFBGNH++,====..&Q-TIP’s (Oy)..Ahem! anyway, therefore dictating her school-bus right’s away right out from under her so she couldn’t learn nothing and get an education to get to be Dictatoress-in-Chief in a line of secession from the previous, –DEMOCRAT Dictator’s-in-Chief..if they don’t throw her under-the-bus; and got deprivated – by diktat! – of all her other principle fundamentally entitled human rights like to her body like all pregnant people’s like Greg should have as a Constitutional WHITE, o! a pwiv-o-wedge; or guarantee, or whatever, so she can make her own womans health care decisions on her own and not have the government poking their nose in the affairs of A WOMAN (like Willie Brown), –and get sick-leave, there..away down south in the land of cotton,COTTON, Si! si, ese, SI! King Dictator Cotton, King Dictator Cream-of-Wheat-and-King-Uncle-Ben’s&King-dicator Aunt Jemima! and King Dictador Uncle Jose, el gran Nazi!! Simoﬞn! yes, and since he dictated t h at she had to do it what she was told; by him and every other swingin’ dictator in the democrats’ dictators’ plantation-yard dictating what everybody can and cannot do; and have the baby, how cruel (SIGH); and wrecking democracy for she, and ye; and all of us! and countless trillions, Simple! that’s what dictators do (overrule overall thee embryonic stem-cell’s..right); therefore, we need the Emancipation’s NOW! before it’s too late, So! so please, –PLEASE!! can I/we count on your vote for Donald, p-p-p-Purr-purr! Pr-r-resident Donald Trump for President; or Dictator, “QUACK-QUACK!” or Monarch, or King, –Sovereign Ruler, whatever (a BENEFACTOR&PROTECTOR by any other name..); because any, and/or all of that (the foregoing, what I been sayin’ I mean) is far better than spending a for-ever four more years..4 More Years! 4 More Years! 4 More Years! $ More Years! in Satan’s Garden-of-idiots delightfully governing, ruling, dictating..prancing, even! and smelling like roses, –pockets-full-o’poses having a ‘Beer Summit Press-Conf.’ in de Ros-a Garden-a wit all da rapper’s rappin’ crackers! et cetera, etc., and stealing all our substance’sﬞ, –+WWIII! and us never getting a break and back to life under a sovereign Constitutional Republic☞÷x3=, ====Your democracy! ever again!! with any proper kind of checks and balances that – as citizens of thee greatest nation on earth – its our birthright, now at full-term..in terms of terms, savvy? i.e., they want to abort the U.S.A., ‘A’. USA!🇺🇸USA!🇺🇸USA🇺🇸!USA! 🇺🇸, –🇺🇸!🇺🇸! (OK) C’mon! Everybody at ABC and everybody else A-Z likes Trump..like “I LIKE ‘IKE'”. So Vote Trump. Please. And thank you, –Thanks, thank you very much..See? Elvis wants Trump. ~c.
“I stump for Trump! Comprendes??” ~Tio Joe P-s: And Herr-Ms. Ka-mala, too, if she could say the dictates of what’s on her heart I’m sure it would be, “Vote TWUMP!” (WHITE??)
Fragile mortality! reminds us tomorrow is not given; and that death is the gate through which we enter eternity..we know it in our soul. With that in view, what, then, shall we do? As T h e y say, If we live, we live unto the Lord, and if we die, we die unto the Lord. So then time is precious, passing before us like water through our fingers onto thirsty flowers; and swallowed by the earth..after bees get their share so they can share the honey (‘Hun-nee’). Everywhere we see the hand of God in our lives, directing us, protecting us, feeding and comforting us in times of trial and great joy. No vague hint in it of a something greater than ourselves, but clear confirmation that He who is a builder of faith in that blessed assurance, that whatever tribulation we face, He, –HE! shall lead us through. We’ll never walk in darkness alone. Seeing nothing by sight, and remembering all his blessings we have received, we confidently depend on a miracle; and his overwhelming mercy always, ever present to the last breath, –when this mortal shall have put on immortality; and death be swallowed up in victory. Glory to God! thank you Jesus. Amen.
