Signs Along The Road

Each name I paint on signs along the road
defines the person I meet at that point
along the random journey of my life
so I remember them with fond respect
when their ghost haunts me in the

You were yesterday
before you were today
and thinking about
this moment like
it would last forever.

I’m sorry for entropy
and enthalpy and any
influence that wasn’t
advocating forever.

Things have to go
somewhere. Still,
still can be good
if we just sit for
awhile, and pretend

Our friendly corporation
of all things virtual reality
for a slightly exorbitant fee
can modify your temporal lobe
for the glorious purpose
of colorizing your #dreams

Of course with every tech innovation
there comes the insidious
disclaimer side effects
such as everything you now view consciously
will now be cast in black and white..

Sort of like your narrow take on politics

Now golf is a challenging game;
With my eye on the ball I takes aim
Then I swivels and pivots
And THWACK!! Up fly divots
Again and again to my shame

After years of second guessing
and fretting about impressing
the skeptical jury
of public opinion
I finally see
the only one
I really need dazzle
is me

Fizzled Out

https://stgreenie.wordpress.com/2025/04/12/fizzled-out/

There once was an intern from Vermouth
Who was fired when she broke a tooth
Dictating a Bill
On Capital Hill
She could not pronounce Arkansooth

*Spring*

The sun shines over some blossoming flowers
And with all their powers dark clouds overcome
The light and then become the start of showers

The rising spring sun
casts white shadows on the dark —
Nocturne equinox

Walking through the meadow and fields of morning glories and sun flowers, the birds are chirping, the deer are grazing the squirrels and rabbits are playing, butterflies and honey bees are hard at work pollinating, a babbling brook flows into a tranquil pond where fish are skimming the surface catching bugs in the morning sun, in the distance a wolf stands watch as eagles soar, the horizon hidden but towering mountains with peaks of crisp snow, through the valley death has taken toll, for fires rage and war is waged, cities burned, people scream as their lives are on a train to a destructive grave, for hate and greed opened fear, allowing all to perish there, no grass to feel, no flowers to smell, no water to drink, no food to eat, discarded bodies rotting like left over meat, moments from paradise, to proud to see from what could be, they closed the sea, they polluted the air, from wealth and greed they all now bleed, no safety from the vault in a bank, mounds of cash have made the town melt, burning hell consume their feet, for no credit be to peace for me, ivory towers in ruins now, from life to death their is no one left.

These days
"I DON'T CARE"
as your selfish response
to social injustice
will get you cheers
from the ME FIRST crowd
but best beware
if fate ever chooses to flip
your current privileged status
you and your dickhead crew
will be on the receiving end
of good old fashioned
Karma payback

History Reflux

https://stgreenie.wordpress.com/2025/04/12/history-reflux/

It only hurts when I sleep
when the circuit breaker safeguards
I constructed so meticulously
are switched off involuntarily
and the deeply suppressed
subconscious monster within me
becomes released temporarily

These are only harmless #nightmares technically
but what makes the cycle all so frightening
is the disturbing fear

What if the safeguards someday break
and fail to reactivate when I awaken?

Laid-back in orbit, they found their minds.
They found their minds were very clean and clear.
Clear crystals in swarms outside were their fireflies and larks.
Larks they were in lift-off, swallows in soaring…

—Edwin Morgan, “A Home in Space”
published in CENTENARY SELECTED POEMS (Carcanet, 2020)

Yuri Gagarin completed a single orbit of the Earth #OTD, 12 April, 1961. Today is the #InternationalDayOfHumanSpaceFlight

Sonnet 025 - XXV
Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foiled,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toiled:
Then happy I, that love and am beloved,
Where I may not remove nor be removed.
