This is one of my favorite old movies and it’s something I can watch again, over time. Anyway, I came across one of my old notebooks with a nearly finished poem in it. So I had to rewrite everything and go in a different direction. Choo-Choo I dream in spaghetti western Mr. Leone, Once I thank you sincerely, Upon many a time have I viewed it, A real film, not driven by action, but better because of it. Time to kill in the slow deliberate way, In a wasteland filled with the downtrodden; The violence and greed of America's irrational past on display in the West . What an opening!

Hope is a four letter word, Like damn, shit, and fuck. Pardon my french, C'est la vie. Or Laissez les bon temps rouler, where i come from. Heaven looks down in shame at how we treat each other for how we feel, who we are on the inside-outside, and the color of our skin. These aren't choices one can make, they shouldn't have to. No light switch to change your true gender. No knob to change the color of your flesh. No angel appears to avenge the fallen. No Divine intervention for anyone wronged. No is prevalent, A Choice it is not. Take your hope, Swallow it. Its taste is unsatisfying, Let i ..read more

This is an older poem I wrote a little after my cancer surgery. It’s short and sweet. Getting Old, Feeling like Vader, "More Machine than Man" Sleeping with the aid of a machine. Kept alive from prarmaceuticals From a corrupt industry. Body defiled by fast food from an industry based on profit. Emotional, Disconnected, Passionate Yet corrupted by my environment. Yeah! I feel like vader. The post Getting Old appeared first on Pentimalpoet ..read more

My Life Was Saved By a Game: Discovered Cancer

Survival Game Poem to be written The Game and My Life This is a true story that a game saved my life by finding cancer. It’s hard to think how a video game save my my life. The distraction my wife can’t stand for twenty years had a hand in saving me, potentially. I played a survival game called ARK which you have to gather, build, hunt, explore and get into combat eventually. The game elicited a stressful reaction and I could feel that intense feeling welling up in side of my stomach. I was playing way too much and one day I just couldn’t put down the controller. In the middle of playing and I ..read more

When you encounter someone in your job that namedrop’s to get things done and generally is directionless except for doing something someone told them they’re a how high. I prefer to have my leaders ask why and that’s the stance I have taken. I heard about some of this activity today an it’s inspiring me to park an item for this idea on my list. I want to finish one work at a time as much as possible to have a continuous experience but the idea is: "Look, how high the suit standing before me jumped," said the office. "I can't see them anymore,"said the intern. Like superman leaping tall buildi ..read more

This is my attempt to document taking a freeform idea and turning it into a composition. Modern Cave Painting is my working title I came up with just sitting at my blog. This poem is about Presentations & Spreadsheets compared to Cavemen & Cuneiform. Ancient art and technology as a parallel for modern technology. Early Man’s Drive For Food Meet’s An Office Worker The setting and activity: Walking in the morning. Blood flowing my replacement for coffee. Listening to the greatest showman soundtrack. Typing on my phone as I have already walked a mile watching for cars so I don’t get hit ..read more
