PARETO GOT IT WRONG
Pareto got it wrong with his
Eighty-twenty, that ratio that
Was a cornerstone of modern
Management taught to countless
Masters of Business Administration
Who went on to mismanage
Businesses and other people’s
Lives. One percent of the world’s
Inhabitants now owns ninety
Percent of its resources, and
That one percent continues to
Fan the flames of inequality and
Class conflict.
Heat shimmering air
fills with dancing phantoms as
thunder heralds rain.

a big flower fan
garden under a clear sky
three cheers for the spring!
#mastoprompt - fan

By the fire
children bake bread-on-a-stick
Birthday highlight
It feels redundant,
all these blurted I love you's.
Yet each is fresh truth.
Why shy from repeated cheer,
but not its repeated lack?

Cascading through lifes frantic melee
My roughness shaped by the tumult
Lasting impressions are left
By words that resonate
With placid values
Live and let live
Be happy
Free love
Peace

A neuron flash, a spark of genius
Traditional light bulb moment
Eureka shout in the bath
Remembering my dreams
All original
Ideas caught
are moments
Of pure
Thought

VICIOUS REGRET
This weather induces headaches, the
Dim light too bright for the horizonless
Day that limps along with its own
Suicidal ideations, wanting to end
Before night comes. A tired living,
Drawn in an ever repeating screaming
Circle of vicious regret and static.
At its origin, some still unknown
Kernel of something where nothing
Was nor should have been, and now
This billion years later joyless day.

craving independence, we
forget connection
