I'm tested and I am upset;
Cause I can't have my way;
This is some of the concerns of me as a, teen today...


AHH!!!  man my parents, don't think

Adults these days, just don't know what to do, or...

Asinine 
The Poem 

Spit and glue
Tape on glasses
Lace on wrinkled rumps 
Lipstick on lizards
Ants in bee-hives
Parties in the cemeteries
Toothfairy bank robbers
Dunces in libraries.

Rhymes on caution signs
Large Letters for the deaf 
and hearing aids for the blind-

You appeared before me like a road not on the map
Freshly paved and pounded flat
And I, having just inflated my high performance tires
Greened the light and shed my hat
No sign of speed bumps or sink holes to rattle my nerves
I vroomed down your stretches and...

Mama rhino sways slow up Indigo River.
Baby into eager stride for stride and shivers.
Waterbucks nudge tip-toe go downriver.
High grass and baby dance together
A game of play and a chance deliver.
Butterfly flutters hasten thither.
Baby-tired falls asleep standing begins to quiver.

there's some praying going on right now
and it's time for you to get on down 
down on your knees and to God just pray
that He'll remove all the trash standing in your way

how many time in life have you taken out the trash
to get rid...

When I grow up
I'll still be growing up
is twenty-eight too grown up to still be growing up?
because I'm still growing up
I'm a grown up that's growing up while my little one grows up
maybe it's really grown up to keep growing up after you've grown up

my...

Back in the days, the Elders weren't lying.
Sometimes I get up and hear cracks 4 or 5 times.
The hip gets to hurting with any sudden moves.
Walk slow up the stairs, and hold the rail, fool.


Whenever feeling the urge, just slow...

it be late at night
but the urge feels right
for an early dawn write

at the push of a button
not quite all of a sudden
mind vapors are put in

all the right places
to slow up the paces
and see what's been faceless

these past many months
despite the sighs and grunts

A very crucial thing this is, this part of the greater whole

It hides, quiet, in the wings, so vital this thing

Never seen yet works so hard, does its job, day after day

Circulating, delivering, controlling the demands

Sometimes we need slow, or fast, it is taken for...

As a living organism
For a long time had no pot to piss in
Minimal optimism
Until I finally found wisdom
It all became different
Yet at the same time it didn't
Due to a glitch in the system

Another box of tricks
F*** all these politics
Before an apocalypse
I got to take a...

Little Timmy in the saddle
Loves to writhe and wriggle
He just won't sit still
Only gallop will fit the bill

When his father says, "Son, slow up."
"Stride is tired, don't make him gallop."
I know I have brought some pleasure
To this child who is at his leisure

Overheard father talk...

The plains have their moments of wild beauty
As you ride with morning wind in your hair---
The sage and wide open spaces thrill you
As you ride free on that celestial stair.

But the hill country is another thing,
Although you and your horse start out just fine—
You both...

the heart says I’m burning
the head says cool it
the heart says I’m yearning
the head says rule it

the head says slow up
the heart says faster
the head says grow up
the heart says laughter

the heart says do it
the head says not
the heart says question it
the head says what

Slowly the dream unwinds
we feel time slow up
        and notice little things
which never caught our attention
   before this moment
 The beat - beat - beat of the clock
        ...
