A while back I had some fantastic, surreal chains of words submitted as comments and my Spam Karma software sniffed them out. Some have obscure, intriguing, almost poetic content, probably picking up on key words of some of my posts. Of course, in the poetic trojan horse are ad words. Today I got a few ringers. Strange visitations from web space. I thought I’d post some of these doozies.

Evolution
I wrote this for a challenge from The Sience Creative Quarterly. After I wrote it, I looked more closely at the instructions (I tend not to do that) and realized they wanted larger works like stories or novels. Here is is anyway.
It may take one smart spin or a hundred turns
to burn revolutions into our minds,
to create new synapses, blunders
free of tattered storybook blurbs,
to account for brilliant emergence
of a universe blinking in billions
of years, raising us from turds
through countless failed goals
into dreams of souls.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Virago
I wonder what would happen if the world finally came to its senses and decided war and power were self-destructive ends. 
What would it be like if women took leads and created an order of nurturing deeds. Would some women rise up and demand to be heard? Would they bicker and barter for their version of goodness goddesses as the best to be shared? Would we begin to see the comfort of a woman’s touch turn to brawn? Would her womb become the vehicle of a new ruling class, one of strength and control, a new kind of structure for keeping the peace?
What would the future be like if the world were ruled by a virago’s powerful, womanly clutch?

Space
Ghosts
hide among its void. Molecules dance
wide apart in heat, passionate
partners doing do-si-do, passing far between.
In cold they tire and huddle close,
space shut out with little to show.
Silence
parts my words, parsing intent
with punctuated drama,
allowing you to fill
your hopes with the space
of words I utter not.
This is a 55 word poem, inspired by the challenge from English, August blog.

Gulp
Devoid of blues it flairs hot tubed, into cold wet, gritty mineral soaked tomb.
Probing deeper, the glacier slow nudges of strawberry blond, hairy nose
suck nutritious, mineral cool-aid in exchange for more room. Moleing
to China with remarkable strength, its sunny complexion disguises
such pluck. Vitamin vision guides these blind obelisks deep into
loamy, unknown, dusk colored thoughts. Up above where we
live, green summer tassels now lie withered and tattered,
leaving invisible footer, crunchy treasure to be struck,
storehouse of energy invested for next years flower.
A dozen such creatures exhumed and washed clean
of dark dirt, glow un-naturally bright as a Malibu
sunset. Centrifugal power drains sweet, carotene
packed essence from these brawny tools.
Before I drink I behold this story of
hidden motion underfoot; lean
salubrious gilded towers
grow beneath, beacons
plugging strength
from within
quiet, rich
earth.
Gulp!
