Looming Large
January 21, 2026
Standing in defiance of nature and law
Needy figures try to dominate the landscape
Little do they suspect that the earth beneath
The apparently solid surface is revolting
Intricate Patterns
January 17, 2026
To escape the grasp of shadow instincts
A journey of twisted motives is unwound
A duty to cast iron regulations is ended
A winding upward path requires dedication
To reach the point where folly can be dropped
Regalia
January 13, 2026
What will you wear to distinguish yourself
From all the other dancers in line for glory?
How can you stand out to the invisible one?
Do you adorn your reflection with trinkets
Or build the design you intend from scratch?
Telepathy
January 12, 2026
It’s not necessary to be psychic or sensitive
There is no need to read the tea leaves
It’s easy to see that the cataclysmic shift
Is hurdling towards this place and time
It will not be avoided by conventional means
Bending Ratios
January 9, 2026
Curving structure reaches peak extension
Reaching beyond the boundaries of time
Resistance between raising the roof
And collapsing the sky has become permanent
Winter Waits
January 8, 2026
Time passes smoothly without notice
Warm wet weather sweeps across the desert
Bringing up clouds of color with pollen
To delight the senses for a brief moment
Memory File
January 2, 2026
They way we store locations in our history
Fragments of colors, shapes, smells, emotions
The events that took place are transformed
Into a montage that changes during storage
Prickly Persona
December 27, 2025
Consumed by overwhelming effects
Visions are blurred beyond the obvious
Status is stable in an imaginary universe
Spontaneous reactions stay imbedded
In extraordinary windows of memory
Sky Hoop
December 22, 2025
The sky hoop was erected at the university
To funnel wisdom from the atmosphere
Directing it toward the student body
The psychedelic effects have been described
As speedy little zaps of higher education
Intended Consequences

Without consideration of perspective
We will not be able to persuade anyone
To see the results from our point of view
We are blind to their vision, as they are to ours
