Best Ratted Poems

The world is spinning
and you refuse to fall off.

Yesterday,
you stabbed a crooked finger
into my hidden diary
criticized my Fascist inflections -
debated my scribblings
on Marxism,
noted the notations
indicating Munchausen by Proxy
and then 

choked and lamented
upon vague references I made
concerning Virginia Woolf,
Sylvia Plath, 
Anne Sexton,
Cruella De Vil 
and Hitler.

You...

Betrayal is a subject I know to well
A one-way ticket to a place called hell

Whatever the case when trust is lost
A piece of your soul will be the cost

Be it by a lover or a dear friend
Regardless it will lead to the end

Something as special...

A fine mist of rain falls silent 
on his thin, sharp-angled face. 
He picks up the pace and tilts 
his head to the wind. He walks 
through the plundered slumber  
of crumbled poverty, abandoned, 
in human acclimation to feral 
creatures who crawl and scuff...

Happy.  Genial.  Merry.  Jolly
Blottoed, blasted, etched and blitzed
Mellow, foggy, hazy, squiffy
Tipsy.  Tiddly.  Brahms and Liszt

Dazed, zombied, tanked-up, trollied
Ganted, gubbed, guttered
Bladdered, blathered, leathered, plastered, 
Sozzled, sloshed, scuttered

Hammered, battered, caned, mangled
Spannered, mullered.  Half-cut, lashed
Twisted, warped, slammed, wasted
Wrecked, ruined.  Munted, trashed

Liquified,...

A light mist of ethereous rain falls 
silent on his thin, sharp-angled
face. He lengthens his stride and 
leans toward the wind. He walks 
through plundered poverty; crumbled
by the weight of exodus. Abandoned
to the blood-rough nails scratching
on the concrete diasporas of multiethnic
history.

Past the playground echoes of...

The winter days drag and drag
the frown on my face increasingly sags
turning me into a haggard old hag
my husband continues to nag and nag
he's tired of living in ratted old rags
time is frozen and forever lags
this season is one big snag after snag

Her words had meant a thousand meanings but still i felt no self healing
for i had hurt her, done her wrong, called her a slave and nothing beyond
she was african but i be white, does that make us different
to see through the eyes of life...

My Fellow Soupers, 
   
    I rarely get mad anymore, but today I am madder than an adder. Not long ago, an unemployed security guard in Florida accepted an $11/hour job at a company named CIS.  The man was...

I just received a letter of warning
From the people of PETA no doubt
Informing me they've seen what I do for meals
I think the chicken must have ratted me out

Well you can rest easy cause I can assure you
The poultry in question felt no harm
And the...

“There,” Lumi said suddenly and Joulupukki looked through the trees, seeing a small house. 
     “Wait here said Joulupukki, I'll be right back.”
He made his way to the house and called out to anyone who might live there.
“Is there anyone home?...

My brain feels scattered, ratted with knots.
Too many cross-talks, can't focus on thoughts.

So I'll put it away, away in this box.
And I'll strap it in with a chain and some locks.
Maybe then the rocks in my socks will get lost.

Really I'm doing it, I'm hiding...

that which cannot be traced
which cannot be found 
which cannot be leaked 
which cannot be jailed or
beaten in the streets
that which cannot be located
by the newest technology on the
market
that which cannot be ratted on by
its members 
that which only blossoms in 
membership spontaneously, without
planning
that which...

In the beginning, the couple was united
Flowing with no regard to decision
The fluid motion of word and deed
Created living without division

~then came the split~

When he laid eyes upon her beauty
A deep fire stirred within his soul
A yearning that compelled him to reach
And unite, but never...
