Aimless | Ken Allan Dronsfield
Exhaling within
the breath of
an anarchist
despite chaos
I still inhale.
poem of the day
The Magic Words | Michael Kagan
A gazelle
Leaping
In a herd of human expression
Fleet of foot
A golden bird
Just found the words of fable
That could sew our world back together
In a silken bag
tied to a balloon
floating over our heads
And even if we caught it
And spelled the whole thing out
Who’s left
Clear enough
To pronounce the perfect words
The Infidel | Michael Marrotti
I awoke from my
living nightmare
into your American
dream
I sense a void
growing
wider each
passing day
A contempt
for this world
and forfeiture
of hope
This is as good
as it gets
and that’s not
good enough
For the sake
of the self
I lost
long ago
I wish to see
in my lifetime
the downfall
of a system
That’s bred
a multitude of
indifference
suffering
and disdain
To be replaced
by a new generation
of benevolent souls
Willing to be
the change
that is needed
The sacrifice
to benefit
the all
Rind | Angelica Fuse
Peeling
thrown into
the garden
attracts
glittery teeth
while
the land
is dreaming.
Mom’s the Word | Ivan Jenson
I remember when I
knew that our long
windy conversation
was over
and that I had said
absolutely everything
to you
like a voice over
a montage of years…
I confessed, joked
bragged, sought advice
begged forgiveness
or crossed over the line
and made you cross
as I stood under
the crucifix
of your righteousness
yes, you will always be
Saint Ana Teresa
to me
and I still can’t fathom
all that you have meant
or why you now give me
this endless silent
treatment

Greedy Gus | Daniel Klawitter
Greedy, greedy Gus-
Always making so much fuss!
He never wants to share-
Though he always has enough.
After all, it’s only fair-
And it’s only for the best:
That those who have too much,
Should share with those with less.
For if you hoard what’s yours-
You’ll soon run out of space.
And you’ll be like greedy Gus-
Who hates the human race.
