professionalism

persons with feeling, flesh, and fluid

dark red and names making melody

too often are recreated as a digit

and dubbed into the tub named client!

efficient handling requires that;

to see numbers instead people, turning

them dependent on systems whose success

is calculated by the multiplying work platforms!

free thoughts here are not permitted

to fertilize with human sentiments of pain

or joy to name but the flag, professionalism

is hoisted to keep the maddening rat race!

walk through the woods

i walked in the woods, your dream garden

hoping to have a glimpse of your face
that i may lay at your feet my weight
caused on earth by trickery and cruelty

i searched for your soul in this Eden,

this forest where angels dance with you
but haunted also frequently by women
and men with premeditated brutality

i observed there the stinking human shit

the remains of an unidentifiable animal
the partially decayed corpse of a pig
and a deer hiding from this intruder
