Best I Guess Poems

I just KNEW I was a woman
a woman inside a man’s body
therefore I went under the knife
(My surgeon said it went well)

But when I looked in the mirror
I was appalled and yes, horrified
Even after applying makeup
and donning a push-up bra
I was just plain----Ug-LEEE

I thought we both felt the same, 
but i guess i was wrong
i thought you cared 
but i guess i was wrong
i thought i could trust you 
i thought you'd be there 
i thought of a lot of things
but most of all 
i thought you...

Everything has a meaning in the universe, you, me,
If you see the night, a shooting star,
Someone surely loves you, have a dream,
Make a wish; listen gently to your heart.

Everything has a meaning in the universe, time,
La Valsa Da Dor de villa Lobos, all music
Cradles your...

Vicodin? Sure. I guess so.
Might as well give it a go.
Codeine? Why not.
I am not an astronaut.

The pain is back
And I am mad.
It may be the worst
I’ve ever had.

What about your pills
I ask my Dad.
What are you taking?
Seeing them I’m glad.

Morphine? Sure. Why not? I...

...or just thoughts

I just want to create
I guess that’s it, just create
Money does not move me
Fame? Why do people want fame?
Glory? I build in obscurity.
Legacy? How can the dead enjoy?
I just want to create
Just to see it grow
To see it go from nothing to something
Not...

There's something strange up in the sky
It's been days since we've seen it
The clouds look growly and black
Is it possible they'll chase it back

The buffalo enjoy the new grass
The ponds the ducks and geese
But me I've been mudded in
It's just like walking on grease


We accept...

I don’t want to feel this way 
As if you took all of the air out of my lungs when you left.
I fight through it everyday,
And you will never know how hard I wept.

You stole the only light I had
Leaving me in an world of...

fumble, bumble, flip and flop

theres no doubt i am a sop

dust myself off with a mop.

Every time I take a step
Another stair, I'm given
Challenge after challenge
Is the type of life I'm living 

The smallest thing I choose to do
Becomes a large production
While I remove what's in my way
I find a new obstruction 

It seems that I am fighting 
All the...

After speaking with Charlie for almost an hour, the young lad invited me to his home. When
I entered the front door, I froze. There was hardly anything there. No pictures on the
walls. No television. No stereo. No washer. No dryer. Hardly any food in the
refrigerator....

Today was the big day! I bought a scratch-off ticket two days ago and won $25,000.00! Can
you imagine that? Me, a lonely unemployed nobody, strikes it rich. Yee-Hah! So, I'm off to the
lottery collections agency to cash in my lucky windfall. The polite gentleman handed...

apologetic in action
dramatized in elections
to justify self-interests...

Half-baked smiles, conversations disarrayed, high in poetry, I guess I’m nineteen.
Half-filled maturity, occasional fits of naivety, I guess I’m nineteen.

Eyes frenzied, tears anfractuous, it’s too dry, the environs, where to look, where to?
Voices seem distant, no arc of light behind dark dreary, I guess I’m...

Pine filtered air roams down hillsides.
Space in the western Rockies stretches comprehension.
Farms and towns in the valleys have room to spare.
Polite Mormons and crude drunks harmonize.

Rewards wait for the adventurer.
Cutthroat trout sip insects from stream tops.
Wandering moose snack on willows.
I have found a permanent paradise.

Let...

 Your scent still soothes me,
I can still recall your voice,
Reminiscing in day dreams,
Redemption moves me,
Absolution had no choice,
Connected by our heartstrings.

Flooding memories,
Rivers of pictures of you,
Retrieving lives you have changed,
Your sky, masterpiece,
You never sought your value,
Sadness and became estranged.

Effected by dark,
Infliction from self pity,
I...
