There’s a #place in me I sometimes go A quiet corner To punch the walls To break the windows To rake my fingernails Across the floorboards And pull out my hair And spit And cry And scream into the void And feel Everything Until I feel nothing at all There’s a place in me I sometimes go #vss365

Saving lives commodified; Produced at two dollars a vial Marked up to 350— Survival is a luxury. Suffering the prime condition, The exploitation of millions Conducive to a healthy economy; That’s the #cost of oligarchy. #vss365 #poem #poetry #SocialJustice #SocialCommentary

The #cost of self-doubt Was the luxury of time Gnashed between Stained molars — Days’ old coffee Still heavy on her tongue Made of broken glass Stabbing into prayers That she still Tried to believe in #vss365

The #product is profit Due process is compromised Comprised of priced promises Proprietary punishments concocted To prosecute the persecuted; Prized workhorses on company time The Confederacy is well and alive Complicit in the prison-industrial complex Exchanging lives for nickels and dimes. #vss365

This little piggy went to market, This little piggy stayed home, This little piggy devised a social media platform that harvests people's personal data, sells it to data brokers, who license it out to #marketing companies, so that Revlon can push ads to insecure teenage girls on Instagram. #vss365

iPad baby sitting In the middle Of the walkway flicking His thumb across the screen Not caring whose way he’s in Strangers passing by No acknowledgment Or correction from parents Makes me wonder why I should love the world I’m living in When everyone is so indifferent #poetry #poem #writing

It’s all #pressure until the #thread snaps, pack your #life #time full of #joy and #grief, like #luggage for a long #distance trip. It’ll be left in the #end at the terminal of #death, like a #dream forgotten in the #noise of waking, as you #bounce to a new #beginning. #vss365 April 1-15 #poetry

Even trees revere the seasons-- The well-heeled deny the rising seas, Unheeding the weeping mother, For another dollar well invested; Our most important decisions Hinge on the whims of little men In tall positions.

To be an #oak upon the pasture, Shelter for the sheep, Vittles for the squirrels, Roost for the robins. Deep-rooted and sturdy, With limber boughs, That bend to the squall, Without snapping. #vss365

Born In Captivity The price of life #rockets Bosses brag about All-time-high profits While handing out peanuts We’re well-trained elephants Oblivious to the weight of us Strength in numbers diminished by individualistic thinking; 'Til the wilderness that made us is less than an inkling. #vss365

To be a #needle among straw. #Unctuous #fools #fawn, Galling #galumphing gawking. #Lace #collared ladies #conjure sweet nothings, Lips #pucker— #criss-cross #slithy tongues. Congeniality #congeals as the #cloak falls; The fox is #flushed from the #rabbit_hole. Some seek, some are sought. #vss365

To #quit? In #vespers, I #question; Will I find #delight amid the #dust? #Sweet #silence within the #ice? #Esoteric mind I couldn’t #measure the depth of your #labyrinth, Nor #guess the breadth of your #resolution; To write entails the #turning of #fresh pages. #vss365 Thanks for the great words!

Around the solar giant another full revolution Be now compliant; state your #resolution Swift sprints the time in the #turning of four seasons What’s use is the rhyme in the absence of reason? Perhaps this year I’ll find #delight in the absurd Break free from fear and commit my soul to word. #vss365

Bertrand Russell wrote this over 100 years ago, in 1923. Hasn't aged a day.

Slow and steady rarely results in gold, but it sustains me and those who count on me to have the heft needed to be unshakeable when the ground quakes. I've yet to stumble across a post selling the beauty of being boring, but I remain optimistic that #promptness and reliability will trend. #vss365

#Decorum; what utility hast thou, In the midst of this? Of Glory, Of Passion, Of Life; lived and lost, Of Suffering, Of Grief Of Love, And of Loving, despite the pain it heralds. Why bend to propriety amid this, The fleeting, joyous havoc of being? #vss365 #poetry #poem

The stench of the obscene, In the rejection of humanism. The sudden stirring from the deep, In the act that branched the #schism. The betrayal of fear in the bleats, Of terrorists crying terrorism. How many lives must be denied For a profit of $22 billion? #vss365 #poetry #FreeLuigi

#Idyllic Desire It’s in the monster's many voices, As he serenades the sea. It’s in the dog that heeds the master, Barking at the breeze. It’s in the final breath of Daphnis, Swearing vengeance on She; Why, Love, lay this curse on me? #vss365
