Jalapeno Peppers

Mike Rogers, Duncan Hunter, John Mc
Cain, James Clapper, Matthew Olsen ::

names of the releasees not to be released
but they did it anyway didn’t they CNN?

all war monger unbelievers in atonement
unable to imagine an Obama 9/11 President

or using police action on bin Laden or allowing
the Taliban are Afghan citizens, not Al Qaeda

throw it all in a pot, boil and bubble politicians
now campaigning 24/7 coyote ugly in 4 year sets

Michael. don’t row that boat ashore yet
we’ve miles to go before we sleep
.

.

read it or not
crazy ol’ lady knows if she puts it out in cyberspace
well there it is
bing go

scraps from the telly world:

Mark Levin
“What is not regulated?”
acknowledge your inequity
Jer 3:12-13
“ditto,” Old Crazy

eunuch
oh pure
meaning no sex
yuck in other words
sex is unpure

did you say we all got messed up somewhere
liking and not liking are partners
in figuring/working
differences out

just cause it looks like a poem
does it mean it is
does it matter?

breathe in breath out
when all is calm
say “Good night John boy.”
(or whom so ever)

golden lizards dance in red sunlight
on a planet we have not yet found
and their god has a dewlap and lives somewhere underground

but men think they’re the highest
so their god has a beard
two arms, two legs,lives in the clouds
and no man thinks it’s weird

no end to the universe
endless possibilities to live
but every creature knows it’s nature
what it takes and how to give

simple men and simple lizards
take a different point of view
do you really think all creation
is centered on what you do?

golden lizards dance in red sunlight
on a planet we have not yet found
and their god has a dewlap and lives somewhere underground

.

hearing spring birds mid-winter
would that be scare or scar
leaping lizards
gone
gizzard gullets buzzards
scary or starry?
holy cringe ola

“How cold does it have to git,”
asks Rainbow Man,
“before it gets too cold
for mad doges and mad men?”

using Clark and Rachel
for questions for
trivia collectors
how do you measure a cart on the ground
with wheels spinning skyward?

my ol’ masterpiece gave me a jolt
returning from many years closeted
stay tuned i’ll check manana
to see if the jolt is over and if
over, then what?

he seys never mind
what could have been was
and some of it was wonderful
and some of it was shocking
remember…the blessing

lessons hopefully
if not now in future’s time
we all go our own way
eventually, sometimes not
until we’re dearly departed

i’ll be on number 5
will you be at the gate
the one remember we use to swing
where was it then
down on somebody’s farm
?

?

the war machine
the identifier of
“the essence of international relations.”
who is not sick to think about
their own role
big, giant or small
ain’t nothing but the real thing babe
now is a good time to take hands off
stockpiling our world with weapons of war
now is a good time to amend
previous and current
international relations
is not the great division
not killing the innocent /\ killing the guilty?
not for their guilt
but for their continuous slaughter
and where will it all end Charlie?
no se
only know it be time to pray
to whom ever, and what-so-ever manner,
“got help?”

.

i would sing for he

sorry am i
all the Do Littles
want everything now and all at once
cause they don’t know
how many secret closet monsters
in our government’s hordes of rooms
or how many news persons
overlook the flushings
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
but some of us understand
one giant flush Ron Paul says he can do
would create a Greater Recession
than the Great
some of us grew up in

oh lordy i wish for you singer Obama
what might be the greatest debate
of a milimium or two
with Ron the man
imagine
please
two highly intelligent men
SITTING across the table
unemotionally debating
the needs
of country and we the people
and how best to clean the mess
created by their predecessors

to your, Our Chief, i sing for
continued mind/body/spirit health,
i sing

{..}

when ya know it right and ya do it
yahoo woo woo woot woot

if ya got a friend and wanna keep it
you gotta recognize the bull rising
of which we each still own
stop now what’s that sound
not not againn
“snort, snort”
we go ’round the mulberry bush
agreeing
we’ve touched an emotional tag
(sometimes ours sometimes theirs)
slip into fairy dust
(down the rabbit hole if’n
ya don’t want to really be here)
a b a friend
find the what it takes
to second that emotion
jot down the frame
to reexamine in solitude
for now is a good time to
to find solutions
friend
?

how long ago i toad ya
i’ll die for my own sins
now and since i tell ya
thar’s more understanding
of what dies
and what is reborn
time passing insight…

unintended pain
has consequence
not all bad

intended pain?
Jeepers how the old Gods
inflicted pain on one another
got lightning bolts?
or does your cup runneth over with mercy?
hmmm
wasn’t there a precise measure
in tit-for-tat
and didn’t we all go blind
to the bright shining mirror
of reflecting eyes?
remember this one reflection
“i saw the enemy and is was me”
once seen
“life unexamined is not a life”

this is my story and this is my lou
if i hurt you i hurt too
sometimes before, sometimes after.
some are more conscious now -
i know i am

and who would not hope for,
not wish for, not work for,
the evolution
of our human consciousness

ain’t it a long road back home?

and if there is no back
and if there is no “hereafter”,
is human kindness counsiousness
not worth the work?

do we need to choose between the acorn and the tree?
chicken or egg?
you or me?
can we hear the children crying,
“Why can’t we all get along!?”

!

i’ll take my heroes jolly and green
you can suck up your jeep riding
muscled hero showing how great
tossing a Dr. Pepper can
to litter our earth.

someone fooled the wool on you!
he he he he man drink beer
tosses his can in our public parks
uses live trees for targets
while his ol’ woman
tosses disposable diapers
next to our clean water running

whadda ya tink, yo mon, yo wo’mon
ya radder be reincarnated as a tree target
or a dirty disposable diaper
taking 250-500 years
before disintegration
before the next reincarnation?

i agree
maybe we do maybe we don’t
reincarnate
and/or if we do maybe
we stay in our own species
well then
is it surely possible
we reincarnate in a different country,
in a different skin, in a different religious family

would this not be karmic balance
if we are born into any of the above
that we hated and/or abused or refused
aid or comfort
because they were “different”?

No, I won’t drink you Dr. Pepper
or Coke
or Pepsi
not because of your offensive ad
big But because
sugar is poison to the human body.

Hootie says it’s not too late Dr. Pepper
get your kicks away from Route 66
and down the green path
of sustainability
ours and yours.

in my dreams and after the fact of
my six year old self
running in circles around my father
holding my right hand with his left
left hand switching blow after blow
on my growing welted legs
deathly afraid i couldn’t make a sound
mind was going lickety-split praying
for help and in my head i heard
“he will stop when you scream”
i screamed
he stopped
and i wonder and i wonder
if i could have allowed my body to completely collapse
and would he pick me up and cry
and
then could i hug him for the first and only time
in those hard days of depression
when he built his own house
with a loan from a bank then
lost his job
lost his house in which had lived
a mother, a father and three little girls
and me on the way, or at least, next…
his hard labor WPA considered charity
mother felt the shame of the better-off

next chapter
earning a living day time
building a house night time
7 acres
eventually electricity
always an outhouse

last chapter
and the blessings keep coming
even in my sleep-dream
a male was in charge
of several men and women
and when he ordered me to do something
he had no right to demand
i refused and sat on the floor
he had a leather whip in his hand
which he whipped and whipped
but did not touch
we both knew the rule
“no corporal punishment”
it was not pleasure, but satisfaction i knew
looking into his eyes and seeing frustration
looking at his curved mouth
with dogged determination
he knew signified nothing.

coda
thanks and praises
mother and father
who art in Heaven
your strength
followed me thru the valley
to near the end of this path
where the dear and dearer play
where never is heard
a discouraging word
and smiles
the dress of the day.

{?}

if moon is up is earth down
if earth is up is sun down
if everything is up
is nothing down?

then why permanent frowns
hey ya all not looking
at yourself in your own mirror
smile, now, awhile?

kisses might be a sad adieu or not.
if yer smiling and you know it
Kiss those lips!
if yer frowning and you know it
Touch those brows

down in the valley
hear the wind blow
lean yer head over
hear the wind blow

?

when i awoke dear
i was mistaken but
didn’t hang my head and cry

whaz up
with children saying
“always means
most of the time”
lizzen up a dul taes
“used for saying that something happens often,
especially when this annoys you”

“i’ll be loving always
and forever
maybe baby
we neither could fathom
co-habitation
without even a trial
and a long long distance
from physicality
still…

when i awoke dear
and remembered
so good it was
even
dancing
in blue moon shoes.

…

for starters they want something more than a “Truce”
ya think?
maybe?
they still waiting for a Peace Treaty
and where ya think that is
besides frozen in time
how many years?
please,
you do the math
this crazy ol’ lady is weary
of the just one more reason
to keep US of A war machine
humming for Weapons Makers
how broke
does America need to get
before
hell freezes over

Mother Earth:
quakes this earth
volcanoes blow
waters flood
indiscriminately
people die
She only knows
imbalance
and
something’s gotta give…
She is not impervious
to human psychic human shock waves

turn around
don’t drown
incinerate
or other wise
self destruct
please
.

.

it took a lot of killing
do we still get along
having not repeated
our history?

oh what shall we say
to these Young Americans
pot, still melting
but ain’t there yet
will they remember
the 12th of September
how the political puppets
divided we the people
race
sexuality
religion
money
culture

we say
know the struggles of immigrants
before they melted into the pot
of being American

and conclude
find a better way.

lookout mountain lover’s leap
the boardwalk in atlantic city
kansas city heartshine boy
way down in ma’souri
enchantment land and
old mexico
these countries, and more
the many friendly invites
across many great waters
gifting me with
little pieces of other countries

pray with me now in my hour of need
in the hour of our need
in the land of new seed
nor will i speak of hardness
we all/ya all’ve
heard it anew and anew

“what the world needs now…”

in this 100th year celebration of state hood
new mexico style we do here declare
the truth behind the Kneeling Nun
turned to stone
it is not she, not she, we cry
it is her mother superior
if not stone,
at least
shame.

deny not i
the human blood
spilled upon all land
ergo consecrating it holy
i do i
thank and praise
all the walking wounded
that have brought us thus far
to the door of peace

got sesame seeds?

nemesis: someone or something
that continues to oppose you and
cannot easily be defeated

“sock it to me”
or run away
it’s all good

“Latin of invidia occurs in contexts
where the sense of justice has been offended,
and pain is experienced at the sight of undeserved wealth, prestige or authority, exercised without
shame (pudor);
this is the close parallel with Greek
nemesis” - Wikipedia

/

why ask
if she is suicidal
re departure
the very first broken heart
does not a Romeo make
oh what do you say
from a pretender
to a truth twister
“It ain’t me, mister.”

why ask what he would say
re departure
“You are my Juliet,
thru eternity.”
to a truth teller
“Ah, Shorty,
I only break my own heart.”

waltz me around again Charlie,
Tom, in dawn’s rosy light
how oh i miss you’re playing…,
and you oh nameless one,
namaste

you three kings
of glorious are
lighting our day
night shooting stars:

help us thru
this hope filled
new year.

report 250 million Somalians
starving to death
and
Mini Darth Raider
needed 3 heart surgeries
got them
may need more
will he grow up to spell
truth, justice,
what will be
“and the American Way”
say…
twelve years hence
starting with 2012
?

(ask Paul if that is a better question)

oh pain of waxy ebb and flow
ringing inner outer ear
not to worry trixie nun
your true mother and father
will never allow
the turning into stone
not the prodigal son
nor the prodigal daughter
even so
one of the ex’s ask,
“Have you ever met a rock
that was not a pretty rock?”

wine without roses poor rose
so ready was she
to return

hush mother by and by
chick e chico
remember home
the homecoming
the coming home

was it not your wish
they spread their wings in flight
learn the seasons learn the world
learn the ways of human via/versa human

rosy dawn this ending of another year
chalking it up, reading it twice
discerning false and true

Run away, run away, run away all,
somewhere already
they’re striking up the band
dancing the year away

be happy
