A Year for Pastel Poetry (poem)

 A Year for Pastel Poetry

 

  A continuing battle of colors

allocated across the Earth

better pastel orange red rocks

seven primary compositions

and fifty shades of gray

hollow stoned cities farmed electron tweets

echoes of plastic green forests

written on the streets

evolved regurgitated lumpiness

breaking non-Euclidean patterns

angstrom geometries

gutters of darkness

claimed canyons of convergence

packing accelerating motion

blurring the sense of super-realism

where untheism was a wall paint poster

meaningless chords sup data

silence on deaf ears, optics

instruments interpreting signal’s

sounds from air guitar conjunctions

inauguries effortless packaged virtues

biting down on common sense

barriers to light and dark

colors warm and red

dead land-blink sifts

surging flood of non-sense spin drift

primary colors transitioning through time

wind arisen from light

fading away to rhyme

above the clouds

beyond troubles of dirt

where waves of colors freak

pastel poetry abounds

from shadows’ work

like bodies crashing from a Taosian bridge

littering bits, pieces and shards of bones

flesh mass freshly splattered

smashed down below the fence

for deputies to climb to

specimen collecting bags

strange dead things in the night

special interest approaches to civil rights

picking up the pieces

 

  The why of procedures

policing policy plays politics

skull and crossbone antifahas

plantrixs silver black hoods gather

burning atheist crosses

golden orange flames

not really pastel, yet passably so

actors write their scripts in motion

on stage, through a door entry left

no-knock worst searches without systems analysis

fool- proofing methods

wit the Euro communist party

on American streets

bricks and Molotov cocktails

cattle cars to nowhere

       red caboose fading to darkness

       long ago before spring and fall

       hate motifs for capitalisms red

       white and blue unreformed year

       writing pastel poetry

the cadaverous covid kavorkian terminality

drums unsustainable all-go-rythms

clouds of dopey haze

shots through felon’s windows

no-knock searches

warrant drone battering rams in flight

captured images of observers

through windows

       bed and bullet

dregs of resistance

shagged carpets of careful calculation

square footage of business phenomenality

fast flush evidence

sky scrapers of barnacles

cling to existence over an acid ocean

wild rainbows of artificial intelligence

superficial censorship a mile wide

and a thought deep

the Tongass forest old growth tree cut down

inchoiring salmon management policy of extermination

      slavery of technology

exerts control of spirit and substance

being and nothingness

emptied, fishless Yukon River basin

recovers millions with seven years moratorium

to crash again slowly at ten percent

commercial catch annually

clear water, blue water, brown water, white foam, yellow sun, red moon

green and orange shades disappearing

cheating survival and swimmel rights

no marches demanding special legal protection

for golden-eyed spelunkers

anywhere on the western front

where writers satisfy with equal justice for all

quoting one that said;

 

“Death is the natural barrier preventing increase of infinite evil on Earth. If not for death, humanity would evolve hell for-themselves. Given infinite time human nature would evolve hell if it did not exist suitably manufactured for the conduct of absolute evil.”

 

That was an historic day

unlike all others that were not part of history

a day with rich full colors

and odors strong enough to wake the dead

 

If colors and death are equally meaningless

one may construct meaning for oneself

or find meaning with God

yet if meaninglessness prompts a response

it may be the choice between stupid and intelligent conduct-

so one may ask oneself;

what is the smarter choice

super-positioned entanglement

symmetry breaking

along two dimensions

or the reversal of time.
