The parameters of reality

Within cranial confines

Gives our puny collective ego

The audacity to think

It is mapping out the cosmos

With more powerful telescopes

“Deep space” (yeah, right) probes

(In terms of an infinite expanse

We haven’t gotten off the porch)

Collecting and id’ing samples

Disseminating information

For the sake of information

Impossible to know

Given that any given language

Is completely made up

Adapted from each and all

Expanding and contracting

Based on use by who’s using it

Interpretations and translations

Quantify our perceptions as such

That we may relate and communicate

To the best of our ability

Even though what we know

Or what we think we know

Is impossible to “know”

Primarily lost in the sauce

Accepting what suits ego

Satiating understanding

Stopping there

Because it is easy to do

Instead of asking more

Questioning questions

.

“Eternal blackness beyond the stars
We think our…

Ever get the impression

We are failing as

Human beings

Caught up in

An endless moment

Of consume

Distract and repeat

Consume

Distract and repeat

Satiating insanity

With no room left

For heart or soul

Only connected to

Disconnected connections

Overdosing on want

Plastic intervention

Rehab online

This must not be

Why we are here

Even as an aside

It becomes our

Distracted focus

‘Stead of being

Our intended being

If I could wave my magic wand…

I am made from the dust of the stars
And the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
Like a stranger coming out of the rain

The evening plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you’re doing tonight

If I could wave my…

Humanity seems to like

Its truth veiled and its

BS revealed

.

Peekaboo takes the blame

Established as exciting

By “authority” figures

That that behavior is

Permanent in our programming

Never tiring of the

Pseudo revelation

Playing the game

Over and over

For the sake of

Playing the game

Over and over

Revealing stuff

We know exists

Instead of evolving

From what we understand

.

Look around folks

The “rules” aren’t working

Except for the “rulers”

Over the “ruled”

Ruling out their significance

Save being useful pawns

In a game of greed

Consuming to the death

Primary moves

Made by distraction

Focusing on differences

Instead of similarities

Finding it is us

With our hands

Over our own eyes

Leaving the game makers

To do as wished

.

Why else would and do

The masses accept results

From “closed door” “hearings”

Putting themselves in a

Position of accepting

Choreographed information

Instead…

“The prompt today is to identify some poetic technique, theme or style that you enjoy and would like to try yourself by imitating it. Let us know what it is you are trying to practice or imitate. Some of us may want to try imitating it ourselves after seeing what you find enjoyable in a poem.”

(Inspired by The Rubaiyat by Omar Khayyam)

The maple tree, grown so high
was home to many birds, and I
did love to watch them flutter.
Seemed that branches touched the sky.

One morning after storm, I uttered
a cry when I saw my tree cluttered
with fallen limbs, all broken.
I knew I’d soon see a woodcutter.

A sense of being heart-broken
came over me. The charcoal sky betokened
another day of gusty winds.

“After the Rain” by Cyril Rolando

From Eyeland I see fir trees spread
far apart. An uncertain woman
stands on a bridge. Seems stuck.
Muck below the bridge had churned-
turned to a river of tears, my own.

Hey everyone!

One of my favorite foods to eat is Chicken Fried Rice. It’s so yummy and has vegetables, it’s salty, and it can be a side dish or a main dish. What is there not to love? Yes, I know it’s easy and affordable to order Chicken Fried Rice from your local takeout restaurant, but I prefer to prepare my meals at home. Plus, I can add anything I want and how much I want to it. Here is my version that is easy, tasty and everyone is sure to love it!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups uncooked brown or white rice (I used brown)
• 2 cups water
• 10 oz. frozen vegetables (I used a mix of corn, peas, carrots and carrots)
• 1 medium sized boneless chicken breast
• 4 tbsp. soy sauce
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp. onion powder
• vegetable oil
• 2 tsp. seasoned salt
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• salt and pepper…

Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are a New Mexican dish that are so delicious! They are made differently everywhere but casserole style is the easiest and my personal favorite way. Casserole style is my favorite becase it’s the fastest and can feed a whole lot of people! Well, an entire family for sure. Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas are my favorite dish EVER, but I didn’t always like them, especially when I was younger. The reason for me not liking them when I was younger was only because the chile was too hot for me. My parents are hardcore chile lovers, so basically, the hotter the better!
