Let the Reign of Terror Be Over
By Jeffrey Harrison
awake and alive with subtlety and depth
videos straining mental freedom
when you damper down the spirit
the spirit guides clamor
uprorious netherworld
disney-esque, baroque
always already before and
within and without you
Nickel
By Jeffrey Gardner
just some funny thoughts,
at bus stops,
in mini malls and cop shops,
Rubbed Buddha Bellies on
82nd after the world fell apart,
karaoke crank and rain,
bike trail lifestyle, wandered
couch surfing only works when you have friends
in between the dead and the living,
there are the dying,
wasting,
woebegotten tumble weed souls,
Some clung to shopping cart arcs
holding the true covenant
between materialism and death
dumpster diving is more ritual than faith
picking up cans, a nickel for your sin,
a fucking nickel
rarely do I have enough energy
to say that I am tired
tired, flat-tired
I need socks, maybe a girlfriend with socks,
that would be nice,
I better get a shower,
before it rains again
might have rubbed it a little too hard
b u t cream knows I wouldn’t have no luck at all
all a testament is dreaming
awake only inside
what is consciousness
but path across
any divide
so divided so long
by the material
we all are one
all is one
"Indian” wars
no more
no more
let’s have it no more
Achilles and Hector
duking in out
Obama/Bin Laden
Dualist divide
Old as the clock
Old as Descartes
Old as old times
those old ancient times
when nothing was new
under the sun.
let there be peace and love
all is one
