Best Dislocate Poems

This man was affectionately nicknamed “The Stork”.
He played only two seasons with the Mets from New York.
George was a native of Salt Lake City.
His major league baseball statistics were not pretty.

BERNITA THE BOLIVIAN COUGER

BERNITA SHUFFLES OVER TO THE MAKEUP COUNTER, WITH GLASSES SLIDING OFF HER NOSE AND EYES PINNED TO THE SALES GIRL LIKE A TAIL ON A DONKEY. " I'D LIKE TO RETURN THIS CHEEK POWDER MISSY, IT MAKES ME LOOK LIKE...

From Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by [NonHierarchical] Step

Summary

The emphasis in education has always been on logical sequential thinking which is by [deductively analytical academic] tradition the only proper [true, good, and pretty] use of information.
Creativity [like regenerativity] is vaguely encouraged as some...

Existentialism

What if this is reality but I am out of time?
Perhaps my step is syncopated with the other marching drones
and I am Zen and with the moment or perhaps I missed a beat
could I be disjoint and dislocate from  the moment we are in
Were...

Every treaty they make 
makes to cheat me
to
dislocate me 
from my
territory

and on the plains
it is so plain to see
that a treaty's not
worth
diddly squat....

Dance, my little pretty, dance. As I pull the strings she rises off the floor. Gracefully I dance her across the stage. How pretty she looks dressed in black. Short high heel boots, black stockings, lacy dress and even a black bow. I make her...

As it's the start of EDS Awareness month, this poem seemed appropriate to share

Ehlers-Danlos awareness - but what does it all mean?
A doctors diagnosis too often unseen
So many trips to the doc as the body grows older 
A new pain in the back or when...

I love you like the child loves his mother, like silent pits love their depth I love you like halls love the light like the soul loves the flame, like the body loves repose. I love you like all mortals love living until they die.

Elimination paraglides out of
the steely blue
as
arcs of rainbow slash the sun,
a split eclipse, in two.
Moonrise shed on matte plates
of black heart universe,
floats
on surface iris sheen,
a dual purpose curse.

Star signs carved with random spray
of palettes splashed with fire,
masked 
by silver consciousness,
impaled by dreaming spire.
heads may roll...

My arm is a shooting gallery, 
a roadmap of Switzerland in 
needlepoint decked grey flesh; 
running out of targets fast - 
and I need something for my mind. 

Haunting rainy streets, opium deprived, 
with crusted yellow-black scabs between my toes, 
hyper-tolerant to antibiotic therapy, 
the...

This is no Eden
Yet the mirror is perceived 
Lush tangle of undergrowth
Army of bare, crooked trees
Who formed thee in madness
Has blown fetid breath
Stirring twitches and jerks
Necromancer of death
Cold pale face a question
Bride groom of lunacy 
A nightmare interpretation
Lucifer's garden fantasy
So still while I attend
Do not...

"Though, my wording expressions are 
not so poetic.
Yet, I'm proceeding little steps 
to refine my confined thoughts.
Muse of my mind are made for 
the sake of mankind. 
My fingers are defining their destination 
through keyboard snapshots.
Sometimes I travel 
in the aroma of violet shade of...

Last night the Alder so deeply rooted in the hedgerow
was shot through by a bolt of climatic vulnerability.
I heard the smoking gun,
heard the clangorous salvo, the snap and break,
heard the unflexed crook of it pivot and shear,
timber dislocate, break, and crumble.

There was a fibrous unclasping,
then...

A most disruptive sleep - psyche violently pummeled

Upon awakening earlier today
(May 26th, 2020)
felt utterly fatigued without fail
tormenting dreams found yours truly
jangled, harried and
frenzied across broadscale
valiant effort to remain awake
exerted to no avail.

Exhaustion pounded noggin
on par seeking Holy Grail akin
to punishing, pounding,
and piercing clangorous din
unstoppable even...
