Enough with the cute kittens already! (but I can't help it!) I want a hat like that to play blues gigs.
STEEPLEJACK
streams screaming people
through me, my bones,
nimble steeplejack bounding amidst poised
crystalline pinnacles,
swinging by rope, my celestial thread,
I play out my web
so I will only net myself when I
reach a too pin-pointed peak, and it
snaps like sugar crystal
dreaming from windows
driven to walk out doors to grey clearings, lined at dusk with
jagged forests dissolving into cities,
stopping now and talking with her
or him sharing something then
parting for new associations forming patterns of ties
with others, incomplete too
breaking off congealed
networks of friendships and habits lettingthem float away
maybe passing them later and
waving briefly
but engaged always in securing
the ropes to new flotillas
of ephemeral goings on and knowing that I
am going on too
keeping my vision
as a vise, tighteningon the distant pour of light
from my yawning horizon,
previews of tomorrow which
are someone's memories
so continue searching down the corridor
to the room with the face,to the door to the roof,
to the afternoon sky.
and Death dancing
always dandying about.
there may be nothing to souls but
invisibly fine silk thread
endlessly spinning spinning
the tales of forever
. . . now for something REALLY interesting:
GIANT UNDERGROUND PYRAMID IN ALASKA?
Did anyone hear last night's Coast to Coast AM broadcast report by Linda Moulton Howe that told of an underground pyramid discovery in Alaska? It was discovered through seismic readings at the time of the Chinese underground nuclear test in 1992. The report was broadcast on local TV in Alaska then story was subsequently denied and suppressed and all tapes disappeared. The pyramid was supposed to be many times larger than the great pyramid of Cheops in Giza, Egypt!

"In a two-part report, Linda interviewed retired U. S. Army counterintelligence Warrant Officer Douglas Mutschler who'd been puzzled by a USGS map in his intell work that had a large whited out area between Mt. McKinley and Nome, Alaska. Then, on an evening in November 1992 on Channel 13 in Anchorage, Alaska, he and 39 others in his unit were in a Ft. Richardson cafeteria when they all watched a news program about the discovery of a very large pyramidal structure underground between Mt. McKinley and Nome, Alaska, that was discovered when geologists studied crust images during the May 22, 1992, large underground nuclear detonation in China. After the newscast, Mutschler went to the Channel 13 TV news station to get a dub of the report and was told by
Linda Moulton Howe is amazing as a long-time journalist investigating strange anomalies on our planet! Her website: www.earthfiles.com

PROCRASTINATION
waking, grinding thoughts,
must do, must be, can’t delay,
money to earn, time to burn,
grudging, churning my way through
awful twisting turmoils boiling within,
and always the yearning undertow
of unanswered desire pulling me down
why can’t I say no,
wave my magic wand of intent
and cast it all away?
where’s that little child I used to be
whose life unfolded like
a rolling mountain stream?
I didn’t care then,
when I was little
not when carefree wisdom
blew through my thoughts
like bright winds of easy whimsy,
and I carelessly tossed aside
the great and small
and poured myself into
the trance of play
and put it all off
till another day
