Poem 2 (like song No. 2 - short) like driving a car around a corner on two wheels at perilous speed distributing just enough weight to avoid flipping over and not sending the car flat to four wheels (what fun in that) until the bend meets the straight away. even then, its tempting to keep going to see in swerving, free-wheeling mastery how far i can take my two ton friend for a walk down desolate, country highway without serving my brains to the asphalt. first thought (constructing) when I woke and couldn't go back to sleep until I arrived here to 'jot down', 'flesh out', unable to imagine a better forum to dispense hyper-extended, manic logic that serves like two pills for unwinding, over-processing head. look ma! no glasses.  need to hydrate same day as above “Blur” reference |
| Can you follow this? I run to the river, bright gushing, receeding on banks delivering smallest offspring, fuzzy. They follow mother, but you don't follow me to the bench in mellow sun. Patient. I must be patient. They leave on a stream, paddle soft, obedient, glide unlike me, awkward straining to see what's so important that you can't come to this trough, drink in images I hoped you'd see, that we could share together. Trees hang low on this path. You follow now, paces behind. I point to this or that. I've been wondering, what if you stopped noticing me. I'm not small, fuzzy, gliding but sinking in muck sucking my shoes to shore. Can't get close enough to capture one image satisfactory enough for you, for ‘Ah, that's nice.' You know the sun fades. Air chills early in spring. No jacket, you turn back at earliest dusk when molecules somehow absorb twilight-soothing-aura. Who can I choose to share tiny little moments, not as important as messages with tiny images’ gleam on a palmed instrument? I think it's time to go home. I want to be alone, not to look at distraction, but hide in reeds from a world that needs undivided attention. Dishes, laundry, clean bathroom and ready to mow the lawn all summer long, without you on the stoop, gazing inward. You don't see me sweat without someone to know my devotion and need of return. 10.12.23 |
 I don't normally write these: SILENT NIGHT  Savoring her holiday confection, baked Into shapely culinary perfection, Love melts in watering mouths with each bite. Each precisely portioned or severed slice Neatly adorns her colorful, festive platter Taken out each season from that relic cabinet. Nestled in quiet of arm chair with loaded plate, I settle warm to bathe in tinsel-absorbed state, Groggily drift, dream of toothsome treats digested -- Hot or cool, salty yet sweet, tender and tasty, Tradition lives on from oil-soiled recipe cards.     11 lines, Christmas Acrostic

| i had coffee this morning. i let it get cold. he came over with thermos 'i'm not going to finish. do you want the rest?' i said that'd be fine. before i could stop it, he poured the entire contents into a cold, brown pond -- now a white magma flowage. i only wanted to add a little to my mug, running over now with sweetness from my son's warm donation. it will take me days -- maybe, another twenty blended cups to get through it all. waste not, want not, hey? even if I have to drink five cups per round? I will get it down. 1.8.23 a free-ver joint  Sorry, Spike. Seriously, I am. (He won't remember)just having fun riffing off previous blog entry inspired by cubby's post. now trying five words per line with no commitment to syllable construct. this actually did just happen a little while ago. Still haven't remedied the coffee 'situation'. Lilli Munster 🧿 ☕ 🎃  you might appreciate.  I had brown coffee. Seriously, how did it get that white! I thought the newly purchased creamer bottle felt light. |
| five words (and poetic license) do i know why i'm being pulled over? not usually. poetic license? i've got it in my billfold here somewhere, officer. This sentence has five words. Five-word sentences are fine -- monotonous the longer they go. Listen. Hear what's now happening? The sound of five drones. Needle, needle, needle gets stuck on a record that repeats. Our ears demand variety. Pauses. Listen. Vary sentence/line length, and music. Pleasant rhythm, lilting with harmony, sings with: short lines, and lines/sentences of medium length, and sometimes, when your reader is rested, engage with a considerable sentence (within the lines), burning with energy, building with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of tremorous drums, and crash of clamorous cymbals - sounds that say, listen to this. It is important. Five-word sentences are fine. This sentence has five words. You can have a chorus with five words per line. Just maybe, poetry sings louder, if you take some license with five words per line. I think it sounds fine. 1.8.23 inspired by Cubboo!  newsfeed offering today:"Note: Daily Writing Quote [Image #2272216] ..." part redaction poetry, free verse and some poetic license of my own |
| Wait Until Whatever Tomorrow There’s a book, a book, a book I say, I dawdle, procrastinate over. Now there’s four of them, or five? Accumulating as poetry popcorn, as sardines smelling cloistered hell where words jumble, tumble out the brain’s mouth into parlor, or squalor. How shall I serve them all? Wait. What am I doing this for? This self-collaboration in internet, inherit incognito innuendo indefinitely interlopes ignorantly indefinite, infinite, and infernally. I started all this for a reason. Seasons change as my mind goes a-wandering after lolly leaves into snooker snow piles s-sliding down, free-form spring-sprung, tousled tulips serenading summer, seething-sensuous, ‘til tumbled, careless castoffs over and over and over mount mounds colorful, as I (should) dive within. And, would you look? A poem. Do I really want to do this again? Wait until tomorrow. 1.6.23 At this point, the gray matter pretty much doesn’t compel the machine anymore, but monkey that learned tasks by repetition until he couldn’t multi-task the Enguish langwage aneymore. Haven’t completely lost…lost…lost… *looks around* it it was what I was going to…going to…goin… Wrote in dark, without glasses, on tablet, no talk to text, as she snores and snorts bedside.  I won’t link/share in your newsfeed. Don’t worry. NOTE: at this point, felt an imposition by those wanted me to impose, heard me, talked over, ignored, and I backed away. Sensed the ‘where is he going’. There’s no explaining to gaslighting narcissists who want your soul like stuff from your pockets, act disgusted when you’ve been shaken upside down by your ankles, expecting your lunch money, at least. They are the new bully, who points at me, if I speak up, not PC, take my rights, boot stomp, cry for all the other red-headed banshees to herd up, buffalo stance, expect me to yelp, try harder, go away. Knives, arrows, bullets at your back, wouldn’t you want to silently, unnoticed, slink away from the purveyors of sunshine and candy? 💩 sorry, that was supposed to end with a period. I had mine. Theirs is ongoing …………….. has it been that long?  Note add: 8.11.23 because I’m an idiot with my time. Nothing I write is preconceived, except for a notion, burgeoning words that sort and slot into sentences that seem worthy to further pursue, until cornered, no bombs to break me out of alphabet logjam. Blah, blah, blah…fuck me, apparently. What are my sins? Can it be that bad?? Got in the way. Oh? A simple move, or play through with us would suffice. I’m on the ninth hole (beginning, middle, end, or restart…playing through a lightning storm with a reverend. And I was doing so good? Even the high and mighty can be full of themselves, but what am I? Not on the green. Gawd, would I just shut up?! There wuz more alphabets piling up before the screen freeeezzz…  |
| sole thin takes the road less traveled alone and it's worn down now by just these two shoes sole-thin tread it is 1.6.23 january no boots for this everywhere i go now they want a little piece of me. the more the better. sorry if i don't have more to give. I look each in the eye with clear blues so they might peer as deep as they should into the cavern of soul to see what I spare. a room for the night, shirt from back, last buck in my wallet. it's a game for them, see how much of me i give of myself, build margins higher on their side. I see the dots of worn down nubs all around in the deficit. red, redder. the low and lowered, when I stand up and choose to be blue. Not red or black. Not on chessboard, or checkers, if you're not into that. A pawn, maybe. But, I move circumspect of their instruction. they follow me. don’t like I make my own game of them, these people of rules and order who want to tell me where to go, where to yield and stand. My ears turn way down low, they just follow, know, they can't be a father to this man. They killed him. and i know. just riffin' off this vibe reinspect later. |
| Somewhere Sealed I was sealed in, or sealed out, when I sought a view of you in your department — a mannequin come to life possessing all the qualities I lacked: festive clothing, a smile. rosy cheeks I got passing that mound of flat, steel autos by the rails balancing each day enroute to winter habitué to view you in the hallways at school. a ghost could have learned your combination. never neared that blue, iron door to try. it was glass that separated us. I, sealed in or you sealed out, but then you didn’t view me as I didn’t have a smile and bright apparel like other torsos on display. just window shopping anyway, I tell myself, whenever I’m sealed in, or out, in memory. 1.1.23 I wanted to be nostalgic about being alone when I was young and how comforted I could feel in certain settings, and it went another way, and just ran on. |

Realize someone somewhere (everywhere and anywhere) has it worse. You won't hear me drowning out their cries. I confide here, look for others who relate. I question what drives me to share, need to be understood with this obtuse, oblique language. No amplifier or soap box needed. Joy is in doing the work, connecting dots in brain…puzzles I forget, repeat. It's catharsis, this discipline called writing. I assume that's why we're all here…?
