someplace...
- found a home between some trees...
i found a home between some trees...
where valleys strolled the floor...
they took me back to way back when...
there was always room for more...
in a time before loud wind-up clocks...
before life went overboard...
where a natural flow didn’t have to know...
what thoughts were striving for...
i found a home between some trees...
where sunlight prompted shade...
where shadows shed all chance to cast...
any glitter man has made...
where cozy rays weaved gently through...
a rolling maze of day...
and nothing stayed too long to lose...
the direction of its way...
i found a home between some trees...
where raindrops fell to wet...
before a thirst on man’s bare tongue...
tried hard to quench regret...
where quilts of morning dew spread far...
to drench a carpet swept...
and water lulls of humbling sound...
filled poolsides where they met...
i found a home between some trees...
where cool and warmth were one...
where hot and cold from man's harsh touch...
had not quite yet begun...
before the fevers of a race...
felt mainly lost or won...
before a field of needs grew up...
too much to call well done...
i found a home between some trees...
with a garden close beside...
through breezes sowing seeds to feed...
a hunger deep inside...
i found a bed ‘neath arbor leaves...
that tucked me in just right...
it fluffed a pillow for my head...
and drew me in each night...

notion~in~motion...
they rebuilt an old amusement park...
grand openings filled that slate...
i took an excursion for curiosity's sake...
through brainstorming signs on their gate!...
“leave wallets at home to babysit debt...
your thinking will handle all fees!...
no worry wasted on waiting-line fret...
for gray cells fly faster than speed!”...
the first ride inside rode a merry-go-round...
whirling memories past shiny brass rings...
catch-phrasing horses heard organ pipes play...
"now try to remember these things!"...
a dome captured bumper car viewpoints colliding...
cramming courses for clashing opinions...
navigators shouted “no-u-turns allowed!"...
while tail-spin drivers slammed into 'em!...
a footbridge walked noggins to a petting zoo...
where alphabet groups roamed the ground...
herds of letters begged benchfuls of thought...
to put words in their mouth and feed sound!...
a midway span of refreshment stands...
piled thoughtful snacks high upon plates...
that smell of ideas sizzling on grills...
drew idle minds drooling for taste!...
ghosts down a hallway chilled know-it-alls...
crawling haunted house stories to find...
panic at locked attic window facades...
while skeleton trunks read their mind!...
a notion~in~motion roller~coaster...
swept intelligence up for a thrill...
over heights curving facts along steepening tracks...
toward a deep drop directly downhill!...
well i saw what i’d seen and then left as i came...
and watched them explain how their gain was my loss!...
as their afterthoughts lingered to come back again...
when my head could sufficiently cover that cost!...

"hear ye!... hear ye!"...
“hear ye! hear ye!” the town crier shouted!...
“straight from the horse’s mouth!”...
ears came to listen to accurate accounts missing...
for the north and east... and the west and south!...
“some news travels fast beyond raw happenstance...
onto propaganda’s fine rationalizing!...
they’ll blend true bits and pieces into selective ideas...
diluting real substance from newsworthy items!”...
“complete coverage ignores many worthwhile stories...
expanding detours to fill vacant gaps...
as the currents of mainstream still flow at their own rate...
giving bankroll terrain extra laps!”...
“they’ll leave you believing it’s pure info you’re reading...
though they actually mutate certain facts!...
they report situations through more inclinations...
as that news outlet’s slant gets attached!”...
“hear ye! hear ye!” the town crier shouted!...
“before they put words in my mouth!”...
“don’t rely on those views for so much of the news...
from the north and east... and the west and south!”...

- what happened to good old fair-and-square?...
what happened to good old fair-and-square?...
who drove him outta town?...
was his home too close to that neighborhood?...
where those big shots stake their ground!...
what did they hold against him?...
when they built that slippery wall?...
did he poke his nose into their affairs?...
or interfere with business calls?!...
was fair-and-square a nuisance?...
who disturbed their bonus treasure?...
had he trespassed over properties?...
or resorted to bogus measures?!...
had he crashed too many parties?...
like an uninvited guest?...
or spoke the truth so harshly?...
it soon dumbed down greediness?!...
was fair-and-square such a stranger there?...
he couldn’t possibly fit in?...
did he make life feel too awkward?...
for them to spend some time with him?!...
did he lessen market value?...
on excessive selfish whims?...
were they in fear of losing out?...
or afraid of decent things?!...
what happened to good old fair-and-square?...
who drove him outta town?...
was his home too close to that neighborhood?...

- no affiliation...
(or that declaration of independence as mentioned below)...
i’ve been a major party member going on forty years plus...
one of america’s voters who now stands in disgust!...
i just sent out a new registration application...
changing my political preference to “no affiliation”!...
main parties keep failing to represent people...
buying into fixed games that win big business deals!...
they’ll lend a sport-event feel to their teams’ faithful fans...
as if political franchise ownership would even give a damn!...
both party’s front offices care less for our country...
as many public conditions get disregarded so bluntly!...
draft picks draw tickets on fake star power alone...
leaving too many inept players in line for a throne!...
political parties use trickery behind their own scenes...
to analyze trends and supply sales pitch schemes!...
actual merit or work doesn’t count much at all...
it’s how they take and remake to look great for the fall!...
organizers hide as ballot advantages run wild...
while officials’ greedy bias tries to keep a lower profile!...
their mix and match excuses fit to cover deeds in question...
and forget the common good to favor wealthier attention!...

- how quickly a thought plays its brain for a fool...
when it comes to intelligent life on a planet...
mankind's not too smart in the realm he inhabits...
his unawareness of illusion in evolving different rules...
shows how quickly a thought plays its brain for a fool!...

new angles on writing...
one line or more form new angles on writing...
encircling each word through a curve of degrees...
their input and output by placements in statements...
reaffirms human terms around returning possibilities!...

- riding on the minds of men...
they’ve saddled up ideas...
to ride on the minds of men...
changing the bridle’s mouth bit...
for the reins to pull them in!...
folks sit upon these say-so’s...
as horsemen lead them down the line...
and while paths may look like fresh new input...
they’ve been used a thousand times!...

- from tongues that cannot speak for themselves...
(from tongues that cannot speak for themselves...
come battle cry echoes charged by everyone else...
as switch’n’bait tactics change the focuses viewed...
fading leaders’ misdoings to slay opinions accrued!)...

-
governmentality...
from unseen control freaks... to government policies...
they’re brainwashing mindsets... for biased monopolies...
slyly engaging ideas... leading folks to buy into...
manipulative false notions... for thoughtholds to cling to!...
(of all the things we ourselves think we know...
how much comes from someone else telling us so ?)...

-
de-valuing lobbyist-stock...
we-the-people can de-value corporate america’s lobbyist-stock...
that they’ve invested in the main political party organizations...
by dropping our own democrat and republican memberships...
and re-registering our new membership to “no affiliation”!...
(did it in july... in celebration of a declaration of independence!)...
