Drink me. Eat me. I stare at the vials.
What kind of rabbit hole have I fallen down?
I blink, trying to adjust to the light.
A blue orb begins to develop.
I watch her get larger and closer.
There is a feeling of love about her.
I am sensing that she is creating a new world for me.
She turns into a blue faerie but with a violet glow.
Without words we communicate.
I am aware that this is my own private world.
Others cannot and will not intrude.
Other humans that is.
A flock of dragonflies flitter past us.
They also communicate a sense of peace and love.
I stay in my inner sanctuary for a long time.
Recognizing it is my private place
Where I can paint, dance, draw or sing.
Talents come to me and smile
I am tantalized and excited
All powerful and omnipotent here.
I never want to leave
She was a powerful giraffe, all proud and tall
I saw her strength, and I stood in awe
Her height was noticeable even before I noticed
She was eating a cloud with her right jaw.
Sure, he said, staring into my eyes.
He did not believe me, no big surprise.
I was a storyteller from way back,
but I’m telling you this for a fact.
She was a force to be reckoned with, I’m not lying.
giraffe queen. Commanding attention without trying.
I will never forget that summer August day in sixty-five
When I watched this mama giraffe pull a cloud from the sky.
Okay, I can tell by your eyes you are not easy to fool.
I’m telling you though, this happened, I saw it in school.
I was looking out the window, not doing any math
When I saw this unbelievable wonderful powerful giraffe.
Invisible predators are sleuthing through the woods,
gaining on me, hoping I will fear them.
I do not so they disappear.
A mad sorcerer sits in a large black elm tree,
biding her time, waiting to swoop down and
catch me up in her giant net.
I laugh, and she disappears.
Thousands of wild hogs begin racing
to my hiding spot, ready to tear me apart
and spread my meaty pieces all over the meadow.
I take my eraser and snuff them all out,
satisfied with my power today, and my ability
to keep myself alive in spite of dire imaginary circumstances.
scrambling for dollars
we are hogs in mass
rooting and tooting
with greed slathering our snouts
picking up our assault rifles
shooting into the crowd
hoping to kill the right people
Or the wrong ones
Just the ones who are not snooty stuck-up hogs
All the others actually
We are scrambling for top billing
Hoping to make a salary for the rest of our lives
Without having to work like the peons who put us here
And, hey let’s take the social security away from the others
The wrong ones, Okay? And maybe put their children in cages.
We are the all-powerful ones, right?
I am all powerful today.
I can decide whether my human is going to be happy or sad.
I can decide whether my human is going to laugh or cry.
I am the puppet-master.
I can change her mood faster than she opens her morning eyes.
I am attitude,
and I am
all powerful
today.
You know, they say thou shalt not steal
And thou shalt not kill
But everything that seemed fictional
Has now become real
Send kids overseas
To fix the governments mistake
Guns and bombs exploding
Is how they shall wake
Taking what you can
And looking up to false idols
Giving back broken promises
And livin like supermodels
Changin the words of the Bible
To fit your needs and wants
And destroyin everyone's morals
With you fake publicity stunts
Letting terrorists into our country
Because we're the land of the free
Makin room for illegal immigrants
And havin American residents flee
Everything today is prejudice
And everyone has a certain right
What happened to free speech?
Can I even write this since I'm White?
It all boils down to money
And who is the greater power
But is it really going to matter
When you're down to your final hour?
So keep rewriting the Constitution
And coming up with more laws
To the thieves that are in control
You all deserve an applause
