See What Everybody's Talking About

Rolled up on
A multi g force
Strike package
Seamless vectors of divine love
Fashion for future generations.

Envisioning
Establishing
Facilitating
Fostering
Upscaling.

All wake up calls are major wake up calls
All smile plans are personalized
All anticipation breathless
All cuts prime
And at the beach the waves are beefy.

All principles are starting principles
All busters are ball busters
ROI is King
All tracks are fan-made 
Next player goes big places.

Imagine achieving perfect 20-20 vision
Imagine toenail fungus healed without a prescription
Imagine exclusive membership pricing
Imagine burdens lifted, gaps bridged
Imagine unlimited access.

Where jeans are crisp
Genes are CRISPR
See below
See in particular
Sí, above.

Rejoinders to Mitochondrial Reality (or, Red Sharpe Extends Literary Amnesty)

I’ve been in the audience
I’ve been in the wings
I’ve been center stage

Entered the library cold
Nothing on hold
I found gold

I worked hard
I struggled constantly
They othered me mercilessly

They tried to dis me of my enchantment
They capped my handy
They hacked my Spotify list

But I have always believed
There is bonus content in every eternity
There is eternity in every promo code

A session of garment rending is worth
7X journeys to recovery
One interface under god

There’s a scene where
I traject from floormat
To footstool to recliner

To where I’m sitting in a distinguished chair
Life-affirmingly robust 
Living among the 1 percent

Smart, dark, and rich
Hotbeds of old growth discourse 
Deep chat and cosplay

Killed a lot but also
Left a slew unslain
For future stack clippers

I did it for all humanity
And it helps that I’m amazing
He notes with a laugh 

I could put in a zipper and 
At the same time
Accompany myself on a lyre

Every work an ode
First Folio quality
Focused, powerful and clear

Heartfelt expressions 
Like Manga dolls
Dangling from backpacks

The King James version of baristas asks
Is whole life OK
Perfect

Born to redefine and reimagine
Ever-present and trending
I can still kill it with plectrum stirred strings

At the same time killing the flipper buttons
On a classic pinball machine
But you get bored always doing the impossible

So I retired some million years ago.
Taking some solace in that
Not all cookie cutters are soulless

Yet as one whose heart is 
Informed by the larger narratives
I found myself lost

I turned up missing
Bumping my own ring tone
Even my footwear choices were sketch

I literally had to tell my brother
I’ve heard great things about you
143 inches of rain fell

A sign I’m sure
That being said
I just told

Myself like hey
Theorize all you want
Can’t lay off the fine print

Textea, chatea
Dactylic hexameter
Seasoned blends

It’s time to reoffend
Reclaim the stoke
(That’s right Miss Spotty Thunderstorms)

So on I slathered water-resistant sunscreen
Gonna mob this water slide of life
Shooting super-fast 

Mix and match being my ethos
Highway 99 without leaving home
The very best of lives

Louisiana Cajun sausage 
Sixteen ounces of 5-Hour Energy Extra
Meeting the moment, the forever moment

The thousand terracotta pickleball players
Unearthed at an excavation site in Panorama City 
Everybody’s talking about moment.

Voted #1 Two Thousand Years in a Row

Spiritual check engine light on
Brings you to the House of Cross Purposes
Sessioning the whole 
In God we bank and trust
Mouth agape like a sand trap
Like watching clothes tumbling dry.

As the Latin(o/a/x) accountant and associate pastor
With the Latin(o/a/x) twang 
A tonsure of razor wire and
An ice hockey goalie’s shore fishing in a tree pose 
Totally fanboys your chubby savior/babe
“stylishly provocative” “hella tragic”.

The jumbotron comes to life
Christ resurrects in full miracle glow
The spiritual ass kicking machine
In the dope white gear
Wild with humility
And wants to start first with

Qualified buyers with deep human urges
He says go to it meek, all yours 
The least of them await you 
And let’s hear it for the parable of the low flow toilet 
Although please don’t tell my Dad
It’s still a mystery to me!
