Best As Usual Poems
As Usual She Did Not Take PartI’ll never forget what’s her name
A PE teacher and ogre she became
For I was such a sickly child
it really made this ogre wild
Held in my hand a medical certificate
exempted from all things physical
with Rheumatic Fever and St Vitus’ Dance
for me to take part ~...

"politics As Usual"Nary earthly idea what needs done next,
each candidate seeks his opponent’s hex.
Their Agapes are sloppy,
carnal mistake they copy,
lost in a googolplex of carnal fix!
All their tables are full of their vomit,
very much so with all idle comment!

Mindfulness As UsualIf I had an IQ of 17,
would this be normal?
My son,
with cerebral palsy,
no language capacity, no LeftBrain ability to read or write
or speak using linguistic tools,
with no hint of verbal or violent dominance issues,
has an angelic peace-loving IQ

Business As UsualOur boss employed a receptionist
Whose beauty we could not compare
Double D cups woke up the knights
As pheromones surged through the air
Her chair is usually empty
Excepting this handwritten note:
"I have just stepped out for the male"
Exactly as written I quote...

As Usual AgainAs Usual Again
My and my elegant wife must excuse
We're driving to Florida going on a cruise
Of course my wife won't think I am funny
When I said we never had enough money.
Going on great cruise did desire to do
After brochures we looked through a few
Naturally wife...

Business As UsualThomas Watson works to cure
the diversity of man
with computers to assure
no one takes flight from their plan
as the mesh gets cinched tighter
behind lines then walls of stone,
dooming writer and fighter
to brave barricades alone
while the cabal keeps gaining
freedoms we should be saving.
Brotherly trust drifts; waning
flags are...

As usual again write poem could not resist;
America to me still does seems so sexist;

Empty As UsualOnce again, I am feeling empty
Try to feel me…try to mess with me…
I dare you to, baby…do it majestically
I don’t want to feel empty no more, but eventually,
I will always numb the pain of emptiness as usual…
Emptiness as usual
God will mend my scars by...

Downhill As UsualDownhill I came, hungry, and yet not starved.
Great lines, something to think about (Edward Thomas)
Woke up to the rain and the wind beating on my windowpane,
Yet I thought of getting dressed and going there.
A subway system, so far not yet up...
