Best Emulsified Poems

The slimy backend of the American Dream
Coming to a screeching halt on an anonymous highway

The AC Press horrendously portrays the days events
Why do people read this discharge?
Isnt the same reason celebrity disaster magazines
Line every shelf of the checkout at the grocery?

This newspaper is the equivalent

...for Leonard Cohen


They unweave the web of lies for you,
lay platters of forgiveness at your feet,
intrigue falters, and the taint of greed,
their soft embraces dutiful and sweet.

They walk you through the fire with measured gait,
distilling all the hatred and the fear,
'til cleansed and ready for...

Ignoring the day
Having it pass on by
Hoping the loss
Will only last
For a short while
Then when all seems
To be lost
There’s a rainbow
Right in front of me
I drive forward
In complete awe
Ignoring the fact
That this day
Has been terrible
It’s now about this
Rainbow
The beauty it holds
The colors so
Superior
I love the...

It is perfectly preposterous not

To fall in love with poetry.

For the poet creates the air…

…And the heavens 

Sweet verses we breathe.

 

The first time he made love to me

We danced.

He led me one word unto another

Leaving me entranced 

In his stanza.

He chanced a pen stroke

Then...

Wheat flour with sugar mixed
	emulsified with shortening thick
elixir of vanilla added in
	and a few chocolate chips

indigo darkness lies without
	distant trucks rumble on
forms and papers to be filled
	are what fills my computer screen

stomach empty does call out
	aching with an awful need
 and my thoughts do resist
	thinking...

Wire in contact sounds sweet
Takes me to a bird very far
Delighted when I touch wire
Through the air-we live.

With demarcation you shrink
The fear has no exception
Both parts stagger
We all stammer
The wire carries my hope
Thy fortitude crawls to my end
Until it dominates in my nerves.
The picture on...
