My new book, "Multiverse: A Book of Poems," is now available in paperback at amazon, the Bookbaby Bookshop, and many other booksellers, and is available as an e-book just about everywhere you can get them. Check it out if you're interested!
The amazon page is here.
Edit: If amazon is sold out, an alternate place to get the book is here: https://store.bookbaby.com/book/multiverse
Periodically I'll post poems from the book in this thread. Here is the first:
GONZO
Purple eels climbing the walls Wizards cooking up napalm Komodo dragons playing croquet While dwarf-kings ponder the bomb Kinghell speed on the bleeding edge Take the turn at one-fifteen Jangled nerves and a burned out soul Screaming along down the seam Old Gray Hattie with a knife in her teeth The silly demons never quit But electric snakes with their eyes all aglow Are with all shamans tight-knit Push the velocity ‘til brain vessels burst Then reel it in to the Devil Alight from meter for a high-speed burn And in bugger wiles thou shalt revel Push the envelope ‘til it breaks clean off And don’t ever revise or hold back Take what it takes, Pazuzu in the wind As your blazing neurons turn black

Chaos Mysticism
Causality and Chance Contingency and Must The Chaos Mystic’s dance Alway from dust to dust Yoga being Union A game for yellowbellies The truest consummation Forsaking napalm jellies Conjuring with your magic Invoke the varied being Objective way of seeing Fall out the circle, tragic The Model isn’t shallow Fairly feigned or fallow Synthesis of the ages The truth of human stages The realm of olden’s Reaper The taker and soul keeper The object of this exercise Some after-realms are steeper No longer out of human eyes Reaper approve, Devil despise In the end returning to The burning we are yearning through The real and the apparent The same, it’s doubtless true

Class
When it comes to understanding class It helps to formulate thus: Who gives the orders, and who does the tasks? The taskmasters being nonplussed
Or one could suppose like the Spanish bard Through all history we have had these: The haves and have-nots, for most it is hard Who lives on a wage, and who gets to seize?

Freedom
No mon, no fun The modern sages say Punch out, work done At the end of day
Tragic, yes it is Everything should be free Sadly, that’s the biz We’re in, you all and me
Each penny a sin And a stupid mistake That biz we are in Will bend and will break
I do not know how To address this, howe’er But almighty cash cow Must its throat vein be sever’d
Bill Hicks once, he said: Try going somewhere Without cash; you’ll drop dead Eventually—no one cares
All the world’s sin All the world’s sickness Derives from our chagrin At our wallet’s thickness
This all may seem naïve Or stupid, plainly so But not if you believe In Nature and her flow
Any system shy of The egalitarian Is one that you will die of There’s nothing left to win
Children understand all this Adults are too far gone Another reason on God’s list For saving primate spawn

Complex Thought
Speaking and thinking Are conscious processes: The continuous thread of awareness Is sewn through them
But all this is extraordinarily complex
Thoughts can arise Through accident
Or pure will or effort Or something in between
They can be spontaneous Deliberately crafted Fortuitous Or foolish
We can be confused
We can also forget
To call it all Free will Or determinism Misses the essential points:
Elements of both are involved, and
Thought may be too complex for thought
