Best Convenience Poems

A grove of magnolias perfumes the air
as they sit absorbed in one another's gaze,
she with her crochet and he with his collectibles
uneasy in their pleasure in the evening of their years.

Lawyers control their affairs like vultures slavering 
their prey, waiting to swoop when the timing...

She looked at him concerned
"Oh my God, we forgot the buns!"
A barbeque happening
Guests arriving
Coals flaming
Food prepared
But nothing to put burgers on
For their housewarming

Hasty instructions and some cash
From his Lover and her roomies
Then he starts to haul ass
To the convenience store

He hustles there on foot
Thinking about...

Public Convenience

A war ‘nowhere near me’ is a concept that does not exist
                      an oxymoron so to speak and weep and cry or believe
propaganda...

Buy now, don't pay

                   Until May, when

" Cut from here" are the words printed on the chips packet
with image of the scissors but irony is that

I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin',
I won't eat no meat
I'm a vegan of convenience,
Still, there's leather on my feet
I don't believe in lots of things
I'll protest and attack
But you won't find me out in front
'Cause I'll be in the back
I give money to my causes
Save...

A grove of magnolias perfumes the air

she with her crochet and he with his collectibles 
uneasy in their pleasure in the evening of their years. 

Lawyers control their affairs like vultures slavering 
over their prey, waiting...

#QUICK! FAST! CAN YOU HURRY!

DON'T WORRY!
BECAUSE,  WHATEVER YOU MISSED...

THERE'S THIS...AND THIS....AND THIS...
AND THAT...AND THAT...AND THAT....
IN THE PROCESS, YOU MIGHT DROP MY HAND, 
BUT GOD FORBID YOU DROP YOUR PHONE...
THOSE *TONES* WE OWN, WHERE I'VE WITNESSED CRYING! IF MOMENTARILY THROWN...DOWN, PUT DOWN, PLACED DOWN; BUT,...

The lack of effort
required to do
the daily tasks
expected of you

Has withered both
your mind and strength
Your life cut short
from greater length

Your struggles are 
emotional
To ease,  you are
devotional

Your body wastes
in atrophy
Your mind is a
catastrophe

Your time is passed
pushing buttons
On packaged foods
you are a glutton

You exercise
your tongue to...

Once I tossed a smile when I didn’t think
I felt happy.
She caught it and
wrapped it in a song
and sent it back.
I found out I felt happy
after all.

Nothing is coincidence
and reasons might hide
sometimes for seconds
sometimes for eons.
No one has yet discovered how to measure
the half-life of...

I slowly unfurled the paper from the roll before my eyes -
So this would be my last farewell - my one great feat in life.
My thoughts were turned to others as I drew my Levi's up
And wrapped the paper round my neck...then round once more...

Modern convenience

In nearly every room of our convenient lives we have vessels which facilitate our lack of permanence
Our trash cans make it easy to psychologically remove ourselves from that which we don't care for

To discard is bred in to our nature
We are inclined to depart...

Especially one courteously wrapped ably
anonymously gifted to
an aspiring gourmet Chef Boyardee
i.e. not surprisingly... revealing mystery
person none other than...
yepper namely me.

Moost anyone can show
off culinary karate chop
suey, whether schooled among
fishy creatures either
from black lagoon,
or privately tutored,

(this haint no canibal)
courtesy mythological Cyclop,
somewhat riotously,
quirkily and precariously,
when blindsided flop

Trembling heavy eyelids
drifting down,
To the beat of an epic,
a soothing sound.
The night has demanded its stay
in ebony echoes,
casting a thunderous storm
amidst the mystery of midnight. 
This again? Yes, yes, it’s true,
the rain will drown even you.

Soft spoken statements
sit silently in my mind,
I’ve dreamt of you...
