SINGULARITY OF CYBER IMMORTALITY
systemic behavior changes
have no gender
race
or
creed
occurring in time
occasionally in space
frequently in dreams
always unpredictable
solidly in stone
phlegmatically in a spouse
incalculable
in their assymetry
yet
pining for immortality

SHANGHAI CIRCUS REVISITED
ADDING A DALANG TO A BUNRAKU
riding a dragon somedays
one remembers the child
on a beach
in the pacific
with adventure in the blood
diving down waves
to the emerald kingdom
to find a princess playmate
a whole day of royal fun and games
then asking the dragon
to fly back home
to the beach
but not finding one
with same dunes and paths
and shoreline
an old man asks the child why he was crying
because everything is different
he says
the paths the shores the sand and the trees.
ah
says the man
a day in the emerald kingdom is same as years here and now
but I did not know
and playing
with
and without time
i did not know
yes you did not know
said the old man
slowly moving
towards another place.

SPEAKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE
people you may want to speak for get fewer as you age
it does not matter if your wishes are fallen or upright
on a pedestal or a page
socially correct or full of rage
no matter how polite
offload
bespoke
on or off a cloud
with a dagger but no cloak
a few flakes
or a drizzle
to be ignored
when heard
or unheard

IT HAPPENS
finding
a word
catching
a train or bus
grabbing
a thought
thought of a pet
not sought
feeling
a peace undone
not rare
enjoying
a moment
not reserved
appreciating
art

on display
reliving
a sleep of innocence
survival
again
to be repeated again
