For my Blog,
My memoir of my
Lost dog, Leonardo.
Dreaming
Of Leonardo,
I tried to resurrect him,
Bring him back,
Mend his DNA & doggie
Do.
"Impossible,"
They told me.
"Don't you know?
Give it up."
Got no pup.
None.
No one
But Folly,
My goose and me.
Melted
Salvador Dali
Watches now ~
Time folds on a table's edge ...

Discontent.

"Civilized,
But emptied
Out ..."
Insanity?
The Scientific Jury
Still Out
Is it? I dunno.
I've a deadly headache, my
Malaise de Noggin,
Nodding off,
Lost keys,
On board ~
.....................
I'm overloaded,
Yes, all shut down.
Ring the apothecary ~ Deliver me
A remedy, an electrolyte fizzy
Cocktail.
Got shot nerves,
Baby cow Moos, all I hear ~
NOT
The New York Times!
Who's On Strike?
Am I the only one?
Ca. 1977
Or 8?
Is this Platform
8*?
Am I
Late?
Did I eat,
Did I sleep?
Moon Not Real,
Say Reports
A Hoax?
Well, so like, the moon, refuted?
Ill-reputed?
Malaise, or mayonnaise
& mustard, lettuce,
& tomato. Yes,
Need food! Say, avocado
& alfalfa sprouts,
Whole wheat toast, or
Stuffed in a pita.
Do I site,
I wonder,
Alpha

Gap?
Elmer's glue works quite well.
Or try some frozen cookie dough.

Box ~ The
Missing link!
Do I Look The Way,
Wrong?
Well. Then, swell.
What angle to feel the touch
Of a hand, a soft kiss,
Real,
On warm cheek, to hear soft voice
Whisper in my ear,
Breath tickling?
Love awaiting
To give, to hold,
Real hands,
Real you,
Me.
These memories,
These now's,
Kill...
I fear the fare
When kooku cooks cook.
I fear the faire.
I fear...
Dog's I trust,
With all my heart...
And Ms.
Maya Angelou ~
sums Suma cum laude, yes,
She says it all for me. No illusion,
Maya
Does she put forth ~ Surely she knows
All too
Well
That suffering is real,
As everyday, proof, I see,
Confusion written on the faces who greet me
On my Manhattan streets.
....Ah yes, suffering, real, but hope
May bring relief.
Suffering, yes, a convincing
Illusion, Maya embodied in contusion,
.... but alas,
That bruise, that bleeding body ~
I stand by the experience that it's no illusion,
As everyday, I see the proof on faces
Who bear its confusion.
Computer game,
Or value system? Solid earth, or hazy myyst?
Enduring grace or ephemera?
I fear the fare,
When kooku cooks cook.
I fear the faire.
I fear ...
Ms.
Angelou soothes my fear.

"A Conceit
Give me your hand
Make room for me
to lead and follow
you
beyond this rage of poetry.
Let others have
the privacy of
touching words
and love of loss
of love.
For me
Give me your hand."
~ Maya Angelou

.... are you O.K. Twittering?"

Whom?"

Who's Whom,
Twittering?"
