metaphysical

some incorporeal humans in form
ate what they say
was a plant based diet
and thus were subject
to divergent evolution

amorphous... because
the species had once chosen
not to consume animal proteins
frowning down upon us from the heavens
as if we were subhuman

Out of Character

A method actor
was asked for their perspective

which is more difficult
to impersonate, and
get inside the mind
of a deluded lunatic

or out of character

and, it was answered
with laughter

Dark Energy

A universal mind

open to new ideas
with expanded awareness

brainstorming in the heavens
of, the seven seas overhead

why is it that death is personified
it is so when he is weakened

that’s the unmaking of the grim reaper
a befitting demise, his

mortality—
a spare rib
the quanta of
an excitable atom
shushed —
acquiesced

Personal Truth

poetry is
the rememory of passed moments
inner beauty,
a narrator’s world view, and
thoughts manifest
as spoken word…
public thinking with no critique

The vet,
