While we Bombast<\/strong><\/p>\n

While we \u2018discuss\u2019 the mundane,
\nember flakes and x chromosomes ascend,
\nso as to summate into the God metaphor;
\nand while we bombast in the first dimension,
\ntotem birds achieve a still point

Ferlinghetti Grows Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ferlinghetti grows tomatoes
\nin the previous world with
\nsemantic involvedness
\nand reverential ache.<\/p>\n

The Grammar of Freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n

{Grammar will help
\nour existential

Cheyenne Peyote Elders<\/strong><\/p>\n

You haven\u2019t tried it yet,
\nbut let\u2019s accept that
\nbeing a
\nCheyenne Peyote Elder,
\nwould be an
\nintense fulfilment of
\ncommunal duty.<\/p>\n

Wild Grasses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wild grasses are utilitarian lines,
\npoint A to point b survivalists;
\nthe little cluster at the top
\nis a mess of revelry, for having
\nachieved
\nlinear actualization.<\/p>\n

Fractal Patternation<\/strong><\/p>\n

thoughts break out along fractal patternation
\nto form semantic fields
\nthat resonate
\nall at once to form
\na mental chorus that is all
\ncellular buzz.
\nIn this fever of orange nouns,
\nwe cross-examine the haunting tense
\nfor honest portraits of our zeitgeist. Then, we
\nrealize that irony itself oxygenates the
\ngreatest loopholes of our collective
\nmental freedom.<\/p>\n
