Best Ordered Poems

Nervously gazing 
Across the table he stared
Watching my silence 

My hunger ceasing, As a Poet's Dozen ordered 
Sipping a glass of wine, Becoming much more forward

Now served our dinner, Filling our mouths blind with food
Emotions much less suppressed, As its body crepted upon our nerves

J-ust what the doctor ordered, 
E-agerly do it without delay; 
S-ubmit to the instruction, 
S-o the sickness shall go
A-way.

M-an's sins and wicked ways
A-re suppliers of decay; 
E-radicate the iniquity to brighten up our darkest day.

T-o follow God's command
O-bliterates transgression; 
R-elieving the heartaches, 
R-eady for great...

Doc said put on this hospital gown
Then remove your clothes from the waist down
My bare tootsies she clocks
As I’d removed my socks
No need for that, she said with a frown!

True story today - get my biopsy results in a month - got my fingers crossed...

Before:
When no middle ground can be found amid rifts
They’ll send in a few unsolicited gifts
The east and the west shall politely decline
each incoming gift with a two fingered sign

It’s ‘You show me yours and I’ll show you mine
You’ll find mine is bigger and faster than...

Went to my favorite coffee shop, ordered a capaburro
Told me they don't serve donkeys to over-aged burritos
Did I mean a cappuccino
Hey you need your ears clean-oed
Next time I visit, I'll insist on a different comanchero...

People in my circle,
Same interest,
Common goal,
The heart's Venn diagram,
Uniting us,
Differentiating us,
In one huge plane,
The boundaries set by nature,
Its beauty is enhanced by the variety,
Rings and shapes intertwined,
They intersect to show us,
A people crafted with peculiarities,
A people with disparate dispositions.

Asked God, why are certain people angry at me?
He told me “Tell only those people who want to believe
Make yourself vulnerable and
Spoon-feed them” (the people)

AND one hand clapping against 

the shuttered storm cellar doors is 

never a reason to deny ability:

like mushroom clouds as falling 

tears splatting fragments of 

dusted minds – by parched perched 

gills of neon fossils; the signs are

here, there, and within the ? of

Asked Eternal God
Why certain people get mad at me?
He answered
“Tell only those people who want to believe
Make yourself vulnerable
Spoon feed them” (the people)

I’ve got a little change 
rattling in me pockets. 

Before I go, I do bequeath 
A little wisdom from my keep. 
So close now, I must bestow 
There’s so little left of what I know 
But what I knows is worth more than gold 
Some...
