Unquotable Quotes VIIIL : SEXUAL HARASSMENT* - the feminist kind

(*”aggressive pressure or intimidation”: Is it really “any different” in most cases in the act, judging by Hollywood standards?)

WHEN LETTERS DANCE ON  THE PAGE

  
 
“Disappear,” I said.
They denied.

Didn’t  the Casanova at the theatre
Return  my ravishing smile last night?
The burgundy magic on greys! 
 
 Ironed with botoxed shots
The dry asparagus turns glossy;
 Ready for the salad?

Midriffs declining, disappearing...

Move on over ole Joe...

and let the youngbloods take the reins
infusing our promised land with hope.

You done good for America,
serving as laudatory President
from 2020 to the present
Vice President from 2009 to 2017,
and in the United States Senate
from 1973 until 2009.

The nation teeters on the brink...

like the animals
in a zoo,
we roam freely
within our allowed 
spaces---caged
and confined, yet
our cages are invisible---
we, like the unbarred 
elephant,
no longer chained---
oblivious to his power---
will not move
beyond the mental keloid chain
hooked around our brain:

today, we just march 
and sing sad songs---aping
caged birds---
crying to fly away home....

There, resting in stoic frame, it
reflected its sheen surface; glowing 
like a stilled black water river—The stage
mocking banks at high tide.

Ebony rowed keloids rose in-between
marshmallow like parallels—Aping
a skewed checkerboard smile
frozen in time: a 9 to 13 tuned ratio.

Marooned in this tuned ratio,
all held rhythmic visions...

And if ever (you know the refrain by now) I were NOMINATED - not hoodwinked into

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : Part XXXI

IF you pull a long lagging-behind face
You deserve your copycat status in more than one way
Marco Polo brought back cracker-power not to powder face
Noble Savage Injuns and Indians shuddered and gave way

Now if you pull a long...

I didn’t miss the snub
Your fancy social club
Will just not be requesting my application.
But joy, as it turns out, 
There is no shred of doubt
That I too feel the indifferent sensation.

One time I wished to be
Something others would see:
A social star, or at least in...

If I and my poems were dissed
by those deemed elite--just dismissed,
I’d be so mature.
Their barbs I’d endure—
unless I should get REALLY p_ _ _ _ _! 

My sarcastic quips might be flying,
fake moxie to keep me from crying!
I’d not stand there gaping.   
“I’ll...

ANOTHER DAY OF FLEEING LIFE

Jaundiced eyes peered
from skeletal sockets
reflecting the daily fear:

Not of inevitable death;
but the agony of life another day.

The permanent stoop
of the frail body---aping

Tell me how does one fathom why poor fail to vote their own interests so much of the time?
That they somehow look up to those men having real wealth would seem to lack reason or rhyme.

But I wonder sometimes if it’s really an honor the...

The whole while I wrote my letter naked
With my blood I cut each word deep
And made I but one step from my desk
dropped it subway
Like a useless undergarment
Sewn of toilet paper, destitute of the sewer
Stepped on it with mud, a furious matador

A newborn gospel, straight...

My remaining days, 
Merely a shadow of those expended.

It’s as if I’ve floated through time,
Aping smoke, born of a match head,

Drifting Indiscriminately,
Chasing dreams, oft dwarfed by reality, 

Evaporating days,
Auto-bused me to the stop at which I stand;

I realize now, that life was truly a vapor,
And...

Big Rabbit Sonnet 
 Giant rabbits are not cute as you think when they 
are in a group then they sneer at us and make funny
noises aping human speech, they live in the forest
across the road and frightens hunting dogs.
The small village where I live...
