foot fall in sole
Makes you wonder. Or dream a little. Or to focus on your dreaming, or your dreams after they ended. Wondering about your dreams and what they were. Well you may not have to ever think once upon your dreams to live a full life. But you maybe oughta one time, if you never did before. Some think maybe they ought to wonder, every other day or more. Wondering is like wandering, when without agenda, some say. Wonder is like sugar, some believe, real sweet. Others seem certain that wonder reduces life to less than life like splenda. Accept no substitutes! they cry with certainty in conversation. Then end her.
To the wonderers: Do not worry or give up, though you may be so confused. Life is full of various types and personalities, like vegetables or animals or trees. You will come to understand if you don't. Don't fear if you do not understand. Do not worry if you do.
Small amounts of hope are placed like elements in your chart every single goddamn day, you know. Be grateful if you wish. Be thankless. Be what you are. That may be all you will be.
And those intangible feelings you get, the ones which often radiate out into the fullness of your chest and reverberate along the spine of your intuition? The ones cannot be seen with eyes. The ones which are really undeniable. The ones cannot be measured yet are just exactly that clear. Let them remain for everyone including you. Though still you may taste nothing. It's okay. True?
Do not let anyone preach to you teach to you reach for you your truth. Promise? This truth your truth, she do not come on like that, unless she do. She may not frequent rush hour traffic lanes. She may like the road dark and open and half of whole. Believe. Believe in her, however she may be. Then she may help you stand up to a challenge. Then you may face the world calm. Then you may countenance all kinds of alarm.
She don't have to have charm, your truth, no she don't. She may be a man, and his attraction quite a force. May she fit like your foot fall in sole, nice and gentle of course.
May your demons be let out carefully as sails in heavy wind.
Young in early grades, pushing the whites out of paper.
Or late.
Toward the end talking to you or themselves and no one in particular,
coloring the sun like an orange.
Talking to everyone who cares and anyone careless, too.
Roll them in tight.
All of them.
In a tight embrace with her.
I wonder if Life is an egg? She is like an egg. She is almost like an egg.
Almost like an egg with the yolk broken,
if the yolk broke uniformly out in circumference.
I wonder.
Life rolls beautifully like that. Life rolls terribly so.

message in a stare
With the weight of a half thousand years
i confess.
Will we find our way home
or the renaissance of our fears?
Half of no one really cares or cares
to think about her.
That girl allison who left her bike locked to the school bike rack
yesterday. Helmet like a cradle still hanging from the lock.
Fifteen & this young american life
sprouted up bold
Like those before us, we shall be tracked by tracking systems until we can be tracked no more. Then we are lost or free. or both, if both may be... Just not downgraded to immobile media coverage task. Just not downloaded. Not forced into play. Just not packaged with advertisements. God help us that we not be, no way.
The pharmacological solution for weariness sxs is just to reach market! Her derivatives are Non-narcotic, uncontrolled solution. Spirits, triple variables, this is the scenario! One constant holding ground like an anchor pressed into the seafloor forever into dissolution. Reunification with source spells the end of all fragmentation, source is like light, enlightens the solution.
Source is sacred ash and vulnerable. Spiritual energy. Source is humble. Anchored in the message. Means running around in circles searching and searching no more.
Our world she gets broken apart, polluted and cut into, whether or not we or you think its a sin too. Then she's swirled together like Missouri, Joplin weather.
Disconsonant elements,
mashed through and through.
Sacred if you accept it, if you will
through and through
Turns black to red to blue and back to black again
like your dragon tattoo...
The flavor like white stripes to
detroit heights, higher. Up to the upper peninsula! So inspired.

goodness vs badness
is the subject line in so many stories USAmericans tell one another, its the backdrop for the narrative tales that thread in and out of the jacks in the boxx the seven elevens the cvs walgreens white hens laying eggs on your bank account until they fall below zero and then get egg in your eye so all you see in your cloudy mirror you clean without windex but some substandard nonglass cleaner maybe with bleach cause you maybe are white and privileged and lazy like so many are once they reach that place of certain control and power... until they get undertowed away for having worn the boot too long for having basically anchored themselves in one place that has become so comfortable a locus where from all their lofty semideas can truck over their under inferieures who bend over forward or backward or side to side just to hide their true feelings toward someone not quite befitting the mantle of boss... on the balance sheet of life its quite clear their eggwhites of eyes register the very zero so many are fearing and steering as far clear of as may be consciously possible. who knows where the unconscious is going sometime, personal or collective. its what makes life interesting though, isn't it? what makes truth actually truly stranger in many many ways than what we might invent. if we are no good for nothing loser unemployed poets and self-actualized and optimized daily with new vegan recipes of cost cutting and paper saving, earth focused animal-friendly and rather fascinating as a bonus, right? yeah. that must be what people think of me, too. whooooo! good night everyone! xo

perpetrates the sanity
from the cutting room floor, circa 2009 … my fresh falling in love with some guy who could give a shit. or so time told.
love on the auction block like a craigslist listing ripe now 5 days old
with a buy now option but still got killed. Witnessed by the watchers
left with some sadsong ebay email says
“ unsold ”
in boldface arial black
indeed. love ran the sword. all she got was an epitaph written by anonymous lover who knows who:
here love resides. emotional low succeeded by rising titrated high tides. love of the sunset tapers. The mad red sunrise. rarely unremarkable. love hurt… mad love… had heart
The dreadlocks were thick and held by
silver and gold rings in various outcroppings from
his nappy nappy
pretty head
caribbean foundation put a smile in his eyes, she saw. Must have seen him six different ways since
sunday...
Rolling up on
a week of conscious contact between them.
deuces wild.
She was trying for
she was crying for someone to love and love her for her by her stand by her aliven her. Like wild. Like aces and deuces wild.
He just let her see and touch
this gorgeous napped out unmapped out
dreadlocked mess!
She smiled to find coins and precious uncommon keepsakes clasped around them
Some maybe placed years back and now immovable. Run freely up and down then found roots somewhere
an oily fresh weave? on highway eight or four? Out in unincorporated Martinez or Pacheco? circa 1988.... escaped from NYC – land of love and hate.
She imagined
what was clear to her was that this man this young man
he had been loved! yes! Once was loved and hey!maybe many times who knows and theres no asking!
She suddenly felt hope! for him for her with him. She was suddenly struck with it. Just some light manicuring to take the edges off one another, just some light shown there in that puzzle piece place of connection. She felt.
From her shoulders
from her retinas
From her self less got lost into him. By route of Spirit on backs of roads to fields of velvet folds.
Letting herself walk out there
was wondrous
was easy
was a world she would soon pray to have a place in
2…
Way 2 much invested 2 soon
it sadly seemed.
What was new? 4 her? – NOTHING! so easily sized up triple beamed and tared. known quantity.
weighed out. untouched. bagged. distributed.
Cold contact titration
lacking any sensation
just a feeling washed up on your shore
a feeling which was her.
And he like so many b-4 him
chose to taper against her written script...just short of doctor shopping, truth be told. Or he was shopping elsewhere all along.
Her prayers to be let in got laid out cold T-boned
The physics the physical force and subsequent distance was atomic - too great 2 overwhelming for her to bridge. wounds came to be she could not close.
She was left desperate to throw up a sign now and then to remind him she got real estate, damn it! They got real estate!
So it seemed so soon she needed help and she knew it, he knew it, she fell to her knees crying with
the 222222222222222222222 repitition
in her lonely little aftermath space always reserved for her lonely little inconsolable
singular bedhead.
Her body her new jersey skin
pale white in the winter
coffee and cream colored in the summers
her flesh and her skin touched only by
held only by
known only to her
Again
against that dark world all around her.... the cruel world! perpetrates the sanity it does yes it does.
Her defenses now beleaugered once ran deep to stave, to hold the world off or at some distance so she could breathe at least
at last
Yet the dreads! the dreads hung fresh and dry in her mind, her heart felt through the touch! the heart! felt the touching!
heartfelt and touched by
the symbols! the language of the diverse weaved into a bond impenetrable, long long grown to let the world and everyone in it know not to --
Don't fuck with! this certain rooted element certain divine in the end not for her other than to witness see and touch.
Best of times she thought, how lucky her lucky star lucky day to lie around lazy with young punk rastafarian lineage? take a load off and get listless in the aftermath the postpunk postatomic posthypnotic stonewalled cellphone called up immediate microwaved and you better behave cause the walls are so thin all the sound is free to get down and move around and then – well then you have your rights, ya, your right to remain silent and have anything and everything held against you like a cold blade to your neck when youre getting jacked up.
its fucked.
Anyway, back out in the sun after she ran from Fascist Alley, she found hella wisdom on Broadway. All condensed and rolled up tight filaments.
Zipped. Charged with unusual science
undetectable to the ordinary pre-eminent usa-usamericans steady eyes. Left then right. First, second, open and aware sensing. Lawns outdoors. Rinsing. Into streets with real curbs detailed with clear arches. Roman tribute. Tricked out by fast food monsters. Golden arches. Hit the streets universal. Sore to the eye and unnatural. Comparable to some bdsm sanctioned Golden plastic showers. Theatrical.
Where she remained was
in her prayers in her dreams in what was left of memory
mixed with childlike imaginations...
Fit to be and possibly, fifty one fifty, for all anyone knows or even cares.
Nothing reflects on her. Embedded in the fearful lacking
loss of shine
her over time daydream remembering overshadowed eventually...embedded in the dreadlock. Hoping for a key.
Embedded in the dreaded nightmare location. Where love has run the sword and not yet quite arisen.
Sky without sun
Earth without trees.

this loves for real .no stopping. all green some whole some lights
fuck I have been cold. I have been frightening cold, I have. until some small smile some sarah somewhere in this place post punk and petrified with perfect well wishing winning new paradigm nod to the North. if north is astral. if north is known by certain colors that stand out like a football I mean soccer jersey that’s brilliant yellow lighter than gold yet darker than lemon and loved even lusted after between air steam rising top of the crucial team consciousness on soft ground with soft ball and hard hand shakes the rising roof of random screaming. a world of color. a world of meaning. for most this was not so. but they backed on the tidal wave like the undertow. the passion of the few was where was sourced there you know. the masses go and they flow. the masses go with the flow with the go with the flow. sometimes this was impressive. other times stupid. because one circled roped in focus can distract from well you know, the life your wife around you. your son who packs a gun. and maybe boy or maybe girl, the foil wrapped careful cut icebergs or powders or icicles or dubsides, come half baked with home fries. for the waiting guys waiting sometimes impatient waiting. sent. sent by that curiosity fills the soul. kills some whole. just before the - you don’t know now you know - part. the grow on your street that your feet touch and meet there. pavements so hard. killed fred astaire. or would had he if he had only. like no bread, just bologna. with capers and mozzarella, white wet from the homeland. alive and kicking. kicking down the doors to taste buds. touch memory deeper than sentimental songs, you know. by heart. don’t start, ‘cause I’m not finished, …

leveling her inside her
abruptly.
Severance of past and future. Opening her green with yellow streaked marble eyes. Staying tough around her vulnerability, she strapped herself into her pushup bra and powdered minerals against the flawless pale of her face. Her stomach let free felt so damn good, from the usual drawn in look they wanted they needed she pleaded they threaded her tight like that was that.
and that was that.
She carried herself on long bare of legs, heels piercing the pavement, walking the half mile to the twelve mile train under the entirety of the bay. The entirety of her life now dismantled, levelled, turned one eighty around and let down, kicked up high into the highway and dragged downtown, then out with the trash and back to the skirts, outskirts where alleys are both dark and so cold. Fires made from trash cans, to warm the soles of souls.

Didn't really phase her or seachange her deep feelings. She knew in this urban element she'd find something appealing. Attractive like charges outside of the nucleus, worship-like protonic love, steady kneeling. She moved toward the center. While the city kept dreaming.
her focus and resolve led like headlight beams. The air thickened with temporal glaze. She fell in and out of moods not so rapid, unlike a phase. This was real, her life all of a sudden, no dressing up or down decisions. No jealous provocative derisions. She missed the girls....nah, not really! She missed gettin' champagne loaded and yes, quite silly. She missed her sweet errand boy, that kid named Billy. Missed his smile and the look on his face, coming in to her dressing room when she practically owned the fucking place.

She loved a few, she knew and could say; the dreams she realized, she realized every day. Working hard, going home. She learned this was the best way. The only way to play. Easy mornings with her boyfriend when she had one. Then sleeping in til noon. Out to the cafe, to meet and laugh and smile. Then to the salon to sharpen her look and read magz. Always someone took her in, she remembered when fearful. She need not obsess over details so trivial. The rent will get paid, no matter no doubt. She had never not paid it, though she always had work.
She was liquid, she was fluid, in her afternoon meditations. She made lemonade of lemons, and stirred herself in. She had looks to kill, she told herself, she made men want to sin. She made sin seem pure. Marble eyes green with yellow tips, rolled against bold propositions. Street level invitations called for split second decisions. She got promised up and down the street. Promised a fancy meal, four seasons and convertible, promised all the material things a girl cannot get without friends. She navigated the city streets well, block to block. She knew by heart all the shortcuts, if someone dared follow.
She got herself Sky high on amphetamines the working girls broke off just like bread. She took them methodically, she had for most her life. Her mom turned her on, like her moms mom did mom. Coffee
could of course sustain her for some time, like generics. She just had to be vigilant, all this private affair, night or day long. She had to immerse in one on one. Drop her silks. On carpets thicker than half and half. Cream was cream and that was cash. Not watered down into milk. Not tossed out with the trash. She saw her needs and met them, and that was more than most.
Our heroine, she was. Young at heart, wild still --and most certainly crazy. In the way one may like crazy, crazy amuses, is cute, or thrilling, fun to witness. Crazy do not come from nowhere, her friend always told her.Crazy come from somewhere. She suffered abandonment at an early age. Repeated through the years in different scenarios, adopted families, lost lovers, change in opinion and lifestyle and political affiliation. Crazy came from somewhere. Probably from the heart of the purest.

Abandoned, feeling you lost your self. She talked often to herself about it, made her crazy. Crazy come from anywhere. Crazy come from inside. Outside. Crazy come, she come then go, then come again. Welcome or not. Cold or hot. Come with a grain of salt. Sweet like sugar. Come too soon sometimes. Other times belated. Crazy don't care, get it, crazy insensitive. Crazy so thin. Waif-like a vegan starlet she come to take. Crazy come now to give. Take her, gone crazy! its better than denial. Crazy walks the street with no shame, only style.
She was always the one leaving, until crazy upand left her sudden. These tremendous losses could only be reckoned with and cast momentarily off her, those days she made it under the cathedral of the city. She never meant to go off like that, hella crazy some times as moods drip into one another and bubble up to the surface.
There would she beckon, there beside the lake; humble, head low, emotions uprising, looking for truth, realizing...she found her sanity through antagonist. 'Crazy got me level? To hell with the devil!'
'Dear god,' she prayed, ''dear goddess, dear ancestors around me...please lift from me my circumstance... Waves of feeling foamed around her, stormy, clashing-- leveling her inside her. Often would she gasp in the silence. Shallow breath deepened. Her mind quieted. She gasped when it hit her. Leveling her inside her.
No, no! i am far from ready! she whispered in the midday light some days. Her whispering sound like waterfalls, a city block away. Amplified over time and space. Unlike most everything around her. Unlike fire hydrants folks loosened in the hot summer heat to get a cool off. Water losing pressure over time. She was more like the water was delivered to the air, clung to cotton on chests, sung down into sidewalk seams, run free over curbs raining down on lower ground. Flouride keeps it all clean.
She suffered still in her life, this former model, our heroine. The setting sun and cool water gave her a chill. She was human.What warmed her heart then?
Rainbows risen over eyes under high rise.
Otherwise, dead ends. Or so the signs said.
Dead ends would live again! Live again! Dead ends.

Over and over again, days infrequent, when she could discard whats no good for the heart,
she knew... they knew....all knew...
Cast your eyes of marbles to ground. See with the taste of teeming life. Look through the windows of sound to see the friction of engines and jumpropes. Skinned knee. Taste the skateboards the bearings the contact of cement... feel the fash of lighter -- sense of sight... strike of flint in the night.
The sight of such was seldom touched but by metaphysical means, and ritual.
They say our heroine, never to be seen again on earth, remained in light. of night. residual.
