The Shrivelization of James Levinson
Eulogy to my poetry teacher
His replete lexicon
Scaffolds a superior mind
Excavating proof of marvel
With trenchant phrases like
Fletching minnows off
Iron clad elephant - he quotes
Fletching eye-fire
Fletching finger sparks
To a band of wide-eared hang-ons
*
Dying to show life
Muting the diffident
He is a dancing celebrant
unleashing brave new words of
Wit and wisdom
To whittle out
The shriveling
Civilization
*
He portends a Language
Coming together to
Inscape the inescapable
To map out prophetic
Doorknobs of the future
To hug the edges of coherence
For it's precise destiny
Railing forward correct words
To write about the unspeakable
About the Creator

The Voyeur's Incandescent Reasoning
The woman sat nonplussed, in the Waiting Room. In a sort of daze, looking straight ahead patiently. She had already had three small breakfast's that morning and a nip of sherry, this was not unusual she would typically wait until an hour after she took her anti-depressant and was her morning routine. She was merely following instructions she assured herself, shifted slightly in her seat and feeling a little heart burn thought, maybe she should skip lunch. Dom had said to have the task done this week. She was well used to his methods and desired to get this over and done with soon. She glanced at her watch, smiled weakly at the Receptionist who was there for a moment and then gone.
