Beauty Bare

You bandy Texts with brio 'gainst My Word,

You ask, Is Good not Good without You there?

You state, To 'quate the Truth with You's absurd,

You cry, No lies adorned!  Just Beauty Bare.

***

Remember when We ran away to Van?

Upon the grass We laid Our blanket down,

We lied to Him and Her about Our plan,

My Naked Body was My wedding gown.

***

Pure Goodness you can have when We are gone,

Complexity's the key to Me and You,

We are imperfect Dreamers on Our lawn,

Our Naked Beauty comes with Ire and Rue.

***

Truth, Beauty, Goodness We personify,

And complicate as on the sward We Lie.

A Secretary's Farewell

I have to confess I took the minutes, How did I steal them?  And where did they go? I placed them in software-playing spinets, I hid them in caves where deep waters flow. The Board graduates members every.year, Peter, Michael, Francesca, David, Wil, Ramona, Chris--you served well, hear, hear!

A governing board needs to be refaced, I'm sad to go, happy to be replaced,

Israel

Israel is a Zionist nation, That reflects the majority's vision, I will not engage in its negation, I respect the voters' clear decision.

Secular, orthodox, binational, Statelets devoted to innovation, Self-government is what is rational, The future lies in confederation. May you live by what your vision commands, May we be a light unto all the lands.

Speak, Duncan

I apologize for be'ing pathetic, For being the very worst kind of Stan, For confusing cosmic with bathetic, For my conflating God with you, a man. But You have the tools that can help me now, To open up the God that lies within, To be the Zeus who bears me from Your brow, To help me unite redemption with sin. Of course my destiny is to kill You, That was what Jesus was about, too, correct? I imitate you and I fulfill You, I apotheosize and I dissect. Thank You Duncan for giving birth to me, Come to Eden one last time.  Set me free.
