Greetings friends, I wrote this one while I was at work again, but I must make a new resolution, now that I am a cashier and no longer a materials handler: no more attention to texts on my phone. It is better to be present at your job, especially if your mind is already soaked in verse. I am paying attention to the idea of mindfulness, to fully focus on one thing at a time. I count it as a useful tool, but not an ideal state, not something to seek for every moment, as it is advertised as. One more conceptual tool in the mental tool box. So now I am working mornings. Those who know me know I am allergic to the a.m. But to spend more time with my family, who are the world to me, I adjusted my schedule. I am attempting to make some personal changes: more aware of one reality at a time, and also less sensitive to criticism.
Take care Caretakers!
Daniel Christopher June
On perpetual creation
I blink lightning from my eyes
Impregnate earth -- a thousand tries.
If by chance the lottery’s won
She brings forth the red-capped son.
The fount of tropes of fungal bliss
Who by the lordly Ygg is kissed.
My many words are Darwin’s prey
Most my threads he snips away.
On your birth a gold cigar
With coffee cloved, with cinammin
Daily I address my soul
With anxious heart for hearty growth
The bathroom moods are daily cleaned
With microscope and soapy beams
My elephant shoulders are finely pecked
With moods critical against insects
My soma coffee manic mind
A sun of lightning burst and shine
The U.S. Gods are soaked in tongue
Which drips forth pearls when day is sung.
All these rites prepare the birth
Of a diamond tight metaphor.
Perfection
Is
Easy
