Best Preps Poems

With soft hushed slip-steps
They creep into my being
My sleepy mind preps
For all the things I’m seeing

They are the sleep sneakers
That invade in the night
Restlessness seekers
That dance without the light

The tales of dreary dreams
Show terror, fear or love
But Sleep sneakers seem
To form fit like a glove

There...

I've been set aside
As if I should hide
I'm the social outcast
Let's see how long this lasts

I walk down the street
So may people to meet
But I see none to talk
So I guess I'll just walk

Saturday night rolls around
And I leave to go down town
So many parties...

[Written in December 2009 while at the UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen]

The plank is of a long, strong wood

With edges round for measures good

Small steady steps the toddler walks

While politicians stall the talks

Three fifty steps the child takes

He still is safe despite mistakes

But stands around...

In the little town called Cleveland
Some many years ago
In a high school gymnasium
Met a group of girls and boys
Since early in their childhood
They were plagued by many peers
Because they lacked
The perfect look
Like many other kids

After many years of torture
Constant badgering from everyone
They decided was time...

a beaten path which leads to a place time forgot

this old dusty road lined with trees on either side
taking me back to the only place i've ever truly felt at home
surrounded by social misfits
mother goose, the orphans, the girls and their pimp
dilapidated houses bought out...

Each time we learned, new life had been birthed,
down deep where true love grows quite fast;
Our greatest hopes, as parents unearthed,
the sum of our love's storied past.

Daily our preps, made for good cheer:
Maternity clothes and bookstores,
A decorated nursery, then poof—toys appeared.
All the while knowing each...

Where I am From 
I am from the old fashion days 
from the yes mams and no sirs, to 
the slips with a dress or skirt 
from dust particles in my nose 
(from cleaning floor boards and ceiling fans) 
I am from the endless bruises...

The forces of nature are being perverted, turning good into bad, and the bottom line, 
the key to it all is profit. 
 Primates choose co-existence within a group driven by forces of the first law of nature.
 When we engage in a symbiotic relationship,...

A Sinners Prayer
In the darkness of night let the sinner appear
In the form that he is, which is the essence of fear.
When his soul is revealed it’s ugly and black
It preps for the battle of Satan’s attack.

The feeling of joy that comes with abuse
Is a...

That's Close Enough

Shapeshifters, and or, shapeshifting ... preps our world always,
A speck sans a cavass, ... materializes a work of art,
At spans of reckoning, ... outlandish evolve viably.

Simplistically, ... caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly,
The explanative being ... the...

I don't want to be lost forever
In the high school sea
This clique or that one
Which should I choose
Preps, punks, goths, 
Every possible type is here
But I don't want to be any of them
I want to be myself
The kind of person that's
Not accepted in high school
But...

Here comes the ugly one 
 Looking sad and wearing black those stupid preps all laugh because she looks fat 

Trying to ignore the comments she walks looking at the floor since she doesn't say a word
They shout more ugly words The jocks throw there...

Caveman preps for dating female mates
As he puts on fresh skins and pelts
Caught that day since everything was free
Oil from animal musk still ooze from pores
(To allure the delicate gender favors)

Killing prey is not exactly PETA friendly 
ASPCA might have something to say
Millions of years...

a heave and a shove, into the ocean she goes
where she stops no one knows,
floats and floats till it may sink
you may spot it with  red ribbon bows.

message in a bottle set off to sail
from a small nodule just north of San Bay
my boat...
