Deities of Paranoia
The caw returned to first wakening.
My heart sank to eating cookies on a diet.
I love the birds, especially the coo,
the miracle I found in morning.
~
Doves to my surprise, in light of my eyes
could chase crows away,
and a hummingbird made me smile
flittering out my window.
~
On acquiring my exercise bike,
I glimpsed the news
wiping sweat from my brow,
still reading Anne Sexton.
~
Negativity seeped in,
like numbers of sins
and persecutors of time
marched across my peripheral vision.
~
And I peddled,
wondering how stupidity
and the human race are so closely related,
I felt a bite of discrimination.
~
Religious signs appear on buildings.
Memory makes connection, a hotel explosion,
a familiar bite, in recent years.
The tooth marks of a deity,
schizophrenic signs of war.
~
HG Wells told a story,
of destruction planted in time.
I wonder how the future and the past
entwine when science and religion
become a game in the age of new technology.

Saul Bellow once wrote that writing gave him something to do every day.(Writers At Work: Third Series, Plimpton, p.183. I sense that you could find writing to be a similar experience; I sense that your mind is switched on. You are fortunate.-Ron Price

Nightlife calls me.
Through her I am free.
It's the only way to be,
all caught up in a mystery!
Born with full moon fever,
I can make you a believer!
For I am the moonchild,
truly born to be wild!
A very simple set of words, Moonchild. If poetry is intended to be understood by the greatest number of people, as Christopher Isserwood once said it should be, thn this is truely poetry.-Ron Price.
so much Ron!
That is a part of a larger poem I wrote
called Moonchild. It is actually a song I wrote for
my screen name and a little about my personality.
