Time Check

Seconds 
minutes
hours

Days
weeks
years

Decades roll on
til they pile up
and bottleneck
as the clock chimes 
yet again

Our relentless chorus

Counting us down

Always there
in the background 
to remind us
with gentle dings

Whispering warnings 
that time is fleeting

Time is forever there

Commanding us
oblivious passengers
to always make the most
of our chapters allotted...

Tick tock bitches

Motion Desensors

Did you know
our Earth spins
at 1,040 miles per hour?
(or 1,675 kilometers 
if you be metrically inclined)

I googled this fact of course
since there be 
no need to memorize
trivial shit like this
since Jedi Al Gore
invented the internet 

So we're all high speed spinners
gravitationally hanging on
for dear life on a blue ball 
we never get to view
(except in pictures)
since from birth to death
we're too close within the scene
inside this forest
to ever see the trees

Though we never feel 
our rapid rotational existence
beneath our grounded feet
(thanks gravity)
we do know it to be so
cause the search engine says so
and it's always 
sunrise somewhere
(and a contrary sunset too)
on the flip side
of the spinning planet  

That spin thing again!!!

The paradox never ends 

The illusion visual deception
that the sun on which we so rely
is crawling across our sky
when in fact it be us
who are constantly
in motion
at 1,040 mph
for you see
you and me
are perpetually
obliviously
flying objects
in the dark expanse of space

Respect Is.....

Respect is...
the common denominator
and is the golden thread
that connects
all successful relationships

Respect is...
the epoxy that binds
and seals the love we feel
that cements
our common humanity

Respect is...
an essential element
and vital component
that paves the bridge
between long standing divides

Ode To Leverage

Life be an exercise
in applied geometry

Playing the proper angles
for the best point of entry

Fitting divergent pieces 
to make our puzzle
into a sensible outcome
to match and someday exceed
our load bearing expectations 

All the varied combinations
and creative leverage permutations
added to the positive possibilities
of our human equation
making us greater
than the sum
of our perceived limitations

Damn Holograms

We can no longer distinguish
the real from the virtual anymore

Tis all the same now...

Our very existence registered
in the new style cloud reality

Behaving as stealthy programmed
yet haunted by thoughts suppressed

Are we still alive
or just blips on a silicon chip?

No Trick Pony

Things that once flowed smoothly
now spinning wildly

Time seems to be buffering

Moments going frozen 

Pixalating cubes dancing
in random flashes

Strobe damage imminent

to my cerebral cortex 
as once solid shapes skew irrelevant

If only I could turn off the insanity  
for this disjointed life
that is rapidly
becoming too surreal for me
