The Occasional Crazy GuestThere's facts and small truths and jokes about life,
Canned laughter and the occasional song.
And there's always argued political opinions,
From big to small, right and wrong.
The guests talk, on topic, of their own field,
Never deviating from what's in their head.
And I listen and think and ponder...

Why am I so flippant yet complacent?
Hypocritical Martyr
Torture chamber – secret sub-basement
Bomb shelter Pedophile aquarium
Abducted children raped half-dead
Migraines and Menstruating
Horrible highway ambiance
Static from a radio unaware
Of our new piece of world, our breath of new air
Almost caught so...

Why Fireworks Scare MePeople just don’t understand
Why sometimes I jump in fear
Or why I cry and cower
When a loud noise I hear
People find it amusing
When I start to shiver and cry
They simply have no idea
Or know the reason why…
Fireworks are a horror...
To try to enjoy the display,
I have...

The Crying Wild CreaturesTHE CRYING WILD CREATURES.
Nzongi Mwero.
Oh, we recall the bygone times,
The days of the golden past,
That chirping with our merry mates,
Flying around the parks,
Gone the joys of the nests,
That freedom restrained,
Coming at our will in parks,
But hindered and chained in the parks.
Oh, we feel painted at...

ProgressAnother concrete bomb shelter emerges, taking the shape of a Starbuck coffee palace embedded with the captive lure of free internet service. Like a crouching tiger on the prowl, this behemoth hungrily eyes the empty grass lot as a sure sign of progress.
A Chipotle rises...

Narrative
Dance, BallerinaA few years ago,
In the depths of
my deepest poverty,
I felt like having a drink,
But I had no money
or car,
So now I had to think
Then I remembered
in the basement,
Where my dad had
long ago started
to buld a bomb shelter,
I had perviously seen
some old booze
And so,...

his counter. ...

Gerry's HereGet up bring your book and blanket
Through the hall way cross
And through the kitchenette
Over dark veranda down the garden stairs
Enter the shelter and cuddle up wet
Feet in the bathtub ready to dive
Four huddle and cuddle together alive
Shivering shaking and not from the...

The Nick of Timeonce when the world was young and made sense
Back then when sense was so real and solid
Before green waves that hid the sky and shuddered feet
Well after the candle lit bomb shelter westerns
And ineffectual caning for honor's defense
When devious means...

Bio
Women In the War ZoneShe cried on national television
A plea that broke my heart
Her baby clung so tightly
In the bomb shelter they embarked.
Once, I experienced such turmoil
No baby on my side
While she is in a bomb shelter
A bunker is where I'd hide.
Sadly, I was a “killer,”
Where she pleads to...

The Tale of the Liverpool BlitzThe Tale of the Liverpool Blitz
Mill Road Hospital took a Direct Hit
On the Maternity Ward indiscriminately killing Pregnant Women and new-born children
Reduced the City , Docks and Quarter's to smouldering ashes
Blew the Malachant into a Billion
Shrapnel pieces the quake could be
heard over 3 miles...

War and DementiaAn elderly lady was losing her mind.
If that wasn't bad enough
the Russians invaded her homeland.
Her family dragged her
from
bomb shelter
to
bomb shelter
depending upon where
the limbs and screams were scattered.
She couldn't comprehend
the carved-out stares
skinny ghosts in skinny doorways
or a broken stairway
searching...
