A Rocky Horror Show

That uncle weirdo
the wild eyed gremlin
like an escapee from Gitmo
seems ill-suited
lurching to the podium
like an Egyptian mummy
in a Tuxedo
with his Dennis the Menace grin
the lingerie model
all wafer thin
A hideout for the Thing
somewhere below the elbow
that underhanded fiend
the four fingered gizmo
His girl wednesday to friday
Uncle Fester and Morticia
all now smiling for the cameras
like life size replicas
putting on a rocky horror show
Has this forever been
an Addams Family movie scene
directed by Quasimodo
or just another
US Presidential Election

‘Eve of Destruction’

The High Road

The flat screen

a most unwholly* edifice

to a downloaded scene

of gratuitous violence

Remote and depressed

that button of silence

Disorder is depleting

the span of my attention

Always fleeting

that limitless touch

of soulful mindfulness

Consciousness

breaking the surface

The high road taken

past a world of distraction

to the fields

of contemplation

With little Miss Daisy

driving me

all the way

to satisfaction

In gratitude

for creation’s magnitude

I find happiness

beyond imagination
