SelfieSonnet (3-19-23) Fortune I’m ashamed of my merciful fortune & I don’t understand why it happened I did not have to beg or importune (I followed the rules, worked & life slackened) I may be the final recipíent Of the rarefied American Dream I try not to be too insoucíant (Success was once not some kind of a scheme) I have been cursed with an active conscience That sees other people’s true suffering Basic humanity’s not a science (Don’t know why, with others, I'm bothering?) So when you see me wandering around Confused & bewildered, know I’m sound #SelfiePoem #SelfieSonnet #comicsonnet https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-JgCEOOAp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So as you walk through a crowded city Past individuals, with their own Gods Feel for car drivers, a sense of pity (For they’ve lost decency the lazy slobs) #comicsonnet #selfiesonnet (at Geographic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpur-lnO2xP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SelfieSonnet (2-27-23) ComicSonnet Reading copies of my ComicSonnets I realize their lack of whatever & I was unimpressed, if I’m honest (But I’m still here writing my palaver) I may have been swept up in quarantine By the seemingly endless time alone I found that I was often being mean (Making my thoughts rhyme made others just moan) But as I wrote each didactic poem I was clearing my mind meditating Matching the words with images unknown (I found I was my life contemplating) I see my sonnets are solipsistic But the practice isn’t very caustic #SelfieSonnet #ComicSonnet (at 48Th Avenue Stairs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpK42kiuUQE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beauty Comic Sonnet (2-26-23) Women are caught in a web of “beauty” That they are made responsible to keep In patriarchy it is a duty (Into gilded souls this desire does creep) Simultaneously society Gilds the lilly & isolates women Sending the signs of vice & piety (Honestly it seems fairly inhuman) We are primitive manipulators Both monetizing & weaponizing Natural biological favors (& our desire we end up despising) We’ve absolutely no easy answers Desire causes society’s cancers #Sonnet #SelfieSonnet #ComicSonnet #ComicPoem (at 48Th Avenue Stairs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpI30eeONft/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SelfieSonnet (2-25-23) Perfection All human existence is perfection Though subjectivity undermines it For our personal desires’ inspection Usu’lly transform blessings into shit Sufficiency gives us satisfaction Should we be able to find acceptance Often times people gain from inaction Breaking free of of their avarice’s trance So breath the free air & eat the cheap food Sleep where you can (hopefully it’s indoors) Acknowledge that being alive is good Fitting in makes what decency abhors You have made it this far, so be grateful Don’t let what others have make you hateful #SelfieSonnet #SelfiePoem #comicsonnet (at 48Th Avenue Stairs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFkhpuu6bv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We share tales to order the universe Either cautionary or redemptive Our ethical stories tell truths perverse (Each soul’s in wilderness’s narrative) Anecdotes Romantic or Heroic Can transform people into characters Irrational, tragic, crazed or stoic (Like lego people moral containers) These potboilers of cheap nobility Encourage individuals to “Act Out” their ego’s selfish hostility (Backstory justifies the “lack of tact”) Finally no fable’s original & all identity’s illegible Finally no fable’s original & identity is illegible #SelfieSonnet #SelfiePoem #StorySonnet #ComicSonnet #3ActDrama (at Geographic Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoutK4auYyQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
