objection examining

one
big mix,
jammed in a
extra show from
crap songs to ennui
takes me way back to when
I enjoyed watching but I
only tuned in to the half’s din,
not caring to watch something boring.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

pour me in
and down I go
right to the bottom
spreading out on the floor
heading toward the drain grate
which will send me to the sewer
and I'll find my way to the ocean

nailbiter seethings

if the ice
lets me get wet
because I must wash
in between toes which I
try to fit into my skates, then
emerge with clipped nails and feeling
really clean while shooting past dancers

hoping that you’re a

experience is what I
refer to as a student who
steps on toes when you put your foot down

so I made the choice to go

youth isn’t uncertain

up those chic
thoughts of someone
holding wide that door
instead of folks that shut
strangers from an area,
never asking self what do I

plus it is just plain inconvenient

from having a safe trip
so there are no accidents
while on your way to the bathroom

try taking the gum out

treat
ribs with
yummy paste
then you’ll bring
a good rub with you;
keep the grill nice and warm
instead of hot and herbs go
nicely into the meat so you
get tender bites to chew for a treat

causing blood droplets to spill

tracks the seashores

catching crabs,
kneeling in waves with
surf all around them to
trap food while the gulls soar
high above them so they can dive
easily and steal a few morsels

who think that we're OK
until they come to see we
are just as bad as those behind
the bars where we pay others to guard

get out as a descent in

guard
each fence
to keep cons
on their epic
urge for an escape
to the outside world when
a great route for their exit
sends them under the guard’s ennui
as freedom comes when they tunnel down

let alone escaping the jail
but they all enjoyed escape stories
