The Business of Poetry:

Loss Prevention _ new February poem 2017

Waking up wanting to sleep more
A predawn stir my dog sniffing at the door
Inside-Outside he sits and sniffs the change
It"s black morning and there's heavy rain
My memory receives electricity to roam
Back to my father at the dinning room table
Working on an opening argument, summation
Closing argument; analyzing the New York Times
How open our California ranch was in the woods
And yet how protected its landscape and gates by design
An occupational medicine department where i was hired at
An independent hospital to work as its only outside salesman
IKEA was one of the companies I was to get back as a client
I had a history with a track record for opening and closing deals
The Coca-Cola Company, Liz Claiborne, HallMark, Baxter Intl.
The list went on my father's Health & Wellness he did on the side
Of his law practice with algorithms in the HRA from Stanford Uni
I tested the online software application that was massive and flirting
Working with a Robotics spinoff company with Artificial Intelligence
Then I moved on to the hospital outside of my father's companies and
New accounts I opened, closed and worked at to retain all in the same
Bayer Corporation president of North America to the Mom & Pop I
Sat down with at the kitchen table and had a beer or two after 5 o'clock
The one thing that loss prevention doesn't address is that of human pain
When someone close to you dies and others you know go too its no game
From my neighbor friend's grandmother from my grandmother's village
To getting the news in a far away city while all alone a long way home
About your own grandmother, your own titan father or the Chief of Police
Living next-door at the time he had to call and say "your nephew is gone
He's missing in the Ohio River it was an accident listen I'm truly sorry John"
Later taking me for a ride in his convertible Thunderbird after he retired and
He passed on too and the funeral home was crowded for Chief Jim Creese ...
I found my way with Business of Poetry and self taught: you can't prevent loss

Written Predawn February 7, 2017

In the hinterlands _ new poem 2017

In the hinterlands

Valleys we're driving thru

Rail yards with tracks to

Everyday hopes & dreams

As the trains come & go

We can see it come true

The business of poetry 

Sidewalk concrete seams

Logistics of trains & brains

"You Get What You Deserve."

"You Get What You Deserve."

Rushing waters jettisoned time
Coming up on him frothing & foaming
His toes, feet, legs, sex organ, torso
Arms, neck, shoulders, head & hair water
Surrounding him at Zuma where he lie
Receding with a powerful Malibu tide
Exfoliating his skin while sand dragged back
Into the parade of Pacific aquatic pageantry
All the labels cast upon him dissipated with
Each rough yet gentle wave directed by Moon
He had been drinking on Sunset since Noon
If it wasn't for his tolerance he might die high on
Champagne, Bloody Mary's, banana margaritas
Labels cast to set him in a net by the starving
Unsatisfied appetite of ignorance and hatred
His wanted demise currency like Pieces of Eight
The currents kept taking it away and depositing
Out there in the middle of a dark deep ocean
As the salt sea air tickled his nostrils memories
He could be anywhere and felt that unaware
And so surprised to awake at home so alive
Shifting sands of time took placed labels & traps
Inside a reality called now rendered meaningless
Spanning time from midnight to dawn's highway
In the course of over thousands of rugged years
Kind of a thing designed by Business of Poetry

 Bernie Sanders Lives On Via Paris Fashion Week for Men 

Bernie really did break-on-through but too bad he was targeted & mislabeled & held back by a diabolical systemic ruling class who plays by an alternative reality (if there wasn't such diabolical play in HRC's behalf - see email scandal story & watch & read media reports on H. vs. Bernie - Bernie would have beaten Trump. Do you get it?! Bernie would've beaten Trump).

The Obama - Trump Cycle Irony

The Obama - Trump Cycle Irony

Trump's public persona and manipulation of the traditional media via new media is easily labeled with the value = black & white (law & order)
However if anyone sees gray matter it's Donald J. Trump

On the other hand, Obama's professorial philosophical authority positioned him to be the rhyme, reason and rational of the way the world works and exists in gray matter - however - he clearly not only saw the world as black & white he unfortunately projected that on our nation and our world.

BTW, this friend of my father who was around my world when I was formulating my young mind as a poet lawyer marketer forbidden rockstar had a big influence on me:
Nov 16, 1999 - PITTSBURGH, Nov. 17 -- After 32 years at the University of Pittsburgh, Theodore O. Windt, professor and chair of the Department of Communication and preeminent scholar on the American presidency, will retire in April, 2000. ... Windt developed the first presidential rhetoric ...

Psychic Sir Turmeric Mustardseed _ new poem January 2017

Psychic Sir Turmeric Mustardseed

If StoneHedge Would Sway

Alien eyed energy formations

Besides the roots of chords

The alert forewarned physics

Lap rat cooked by psychic energy 

In the cartoon book of calculus 

What form will energy take here 

Alien, human, demon, X-factor 

Cheers to all those benefactors 

Piercing fear with Arthur's sword

Practiced poetry of Merlin's alchemy

The Language of Your Brain _ new 2017 poem

The Language of Your Brain

We’re all a little different

And yet similarly the same

Where we are individuals

With special care dispensed 

I yearn to learn the ways of you

What I call language of your brain

Our body contains billions of cells

And like a lighting storm it takes

Actual voltage to help you awake

Together we can keep memories

And create new ideas there as well

Through the language of your brain

I’ll help so the axons don’t collapse

To go from pre to post synapses

Carried all along the synaptic cleft 

As two go out three come in the gate

Resting and grading and pumping

Electric impulse we see frame by frame

The memories and ideas like our poetry

All from locating the tone of your stuff

Allowing me to learn languages of a brain

Organically stimulate and inhibit or activate 

Speaking code to the address of each domain

Hippocampus. Neurocortex. How complex.

I’m reaching you thru the language of your brain

"Staring At Me" lyrics 

I see you staring at me

It's O.K. cause I can stare too

I kinda like it that way

Hey hey hey

I see you staring at me

I see it makes you pleased

And I don't know you

And you don't me

But still you're staring at me

So i'm staring at you

And i don't know

Who who who

Who who who

You are

And I don't care

And all you wanna do is stare

Stare at me

I can see

You staring at me

And if you don't like what you see

Well you don't have to stare

You don't have to stare at me

Just look away

I kinda like it that way

Hey hey hey

who who who

Hey hey hey

who who who

I can stare too

"Still Me" poetry & photography Newspaper piece November 2016

"Still Me"

Looking at my photograph

I know I can be anybody

But with memories

I see my past like a movie

I recall burning leaves in the fall

The smell of barbecue on the grill

The sound of water falls and rain

The taste of crispy turkey skin

Holding hands at the table at Thanksgiving

I see my eyes and they're the same

With my memories I'm "Still Me"

At the Boca Club _ new November 2016 poem

At the Boca Club

If you can get up

You can go for a rub

*No one wears any socks

So many in the hot tub

A code for your lock

Look there's the president 

Here at the Boca Club

Why yes he's a VIP resident 

He was grandfathered in

There's no final word

The White House begins 

Like a senator in session 

That's better for his dementia

To continue to serve

Learn to forget 

The President likes to bet

That's how he won

He knew the odds

But can't predict 

The model has been broken 

All the computers hacked

They're trying to hack a mind

Trouble for the whacking find

We advise don't be like Dick

Here at the Boca Club

It's our members that matter

So whatever you shatter 

Does split together time

We smoke & drink unlike the dud

It's something we do for Old Mum

Great audio & visual with original RR line-up in front of a huge PSU outdoor crowd that, as captured here by me in the photo-pit, was very enthused and, well, out-of-control.. Watch as inbetween songs Jenn & Michael make a plea to the crowd to "cool it" a bit on the body surfing & mosh-pit. ..and then during Lost Jenn leaps from stage into the crowd because a little kid was getting crushed & security had to pull-out a few culprits & eject them. But like the true professionals my good friends are they pick-up in the song right where they leave off & don't miss a beat or note.

Liz Berlin & Jenn Wertz of Rusted Root feat. Megan Williams - Too Much - "Live" performance being preserved 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCuF7KdWA3s 

Cool little teaser clip here from the control-room at Mr. Small's FunHouse back in 2002 while Liz Berlin & Jenn Wertz of Rusted Root are performing Too Much from RR's Welcome to My Party album w/ Megan Williams. Master engineer/producer at Mr. Small's Recordings, Larry Luther, is recording the live performance that is also being video-taped by a team = And, then there's me behind-the-scenes behind-the-scene

The other guy is my neighbor and big-shot corporate friend Brian Franks w/ American Eagle AE (also House15143)

By the way, it's 2014 now and the gear in that same room is sicker than ever (funny to see that little monitor/screen compared to what's there now. Mike Speranzo on bass)

How's it done? whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note = The time signature tells us what type of note gets the beat and how many beats are in each measure? Chord changes, progression and can you take it to the bridge. .. Timing is important to musicians and live shows can offer seams of sidewalks that expand out to the sea and with sweet & sometimes dark emotions ring out different than the night before "Hey!" crashing into the consciousness of the crowd, "how long should we play the martyr?" until the crowd is manipulated in writhing ectasy wanting to keep going and open to go there pushing those borders and seams leading to the sea, "hey, mister can you help me sir i plead for your sympathy" - Martyr - is a Rusted Root classic and for geeks looking to try and remember being a part of something larger than themselves this video has synched up the master audio from PGH Winery sound with my HD video = edited by me in iMovie uploaded to my Vimeo account

"Christmas in my Heart"

Chorus:
Merry, merry Christmas
It's a Christmas in my heart

Verse 1:
With your English roots
And your business suits
Sure luv you in your SUNDANCE boots

Chorus:
Merry, merry Christmas
It's a Christmas in my heart

Verse 2:
At a New Hope Inn
Cross the Savannah in a boat
Telling me not to forget a coat 

Verse 3:
On a cliff in Bodega Bay
Telling me you're on your way
Home is where I love to say 

Chorus:
Merry, merry Christmas
It's a Christmas in my heart
