Best Subscriptions Poems

I yelled and flung the empty whiskey bottle through the air
The marching high school band is getting closer

Children running, playing with the pygmy bear
The carny selling snake oil, argues with the grocer

Soldiers marching past the fountain try hard to hide their stares
as ladies of the...

Books to the library
photos to family.
Paint cans and lumber
from renovations years ago.
Most of the furniture
including the piano.
Fastest way to do this
is rent a dumpster.

On the internet
nothing’s permanent.
I like that.
Photosynthesis, evaporation
as if your spirit disappears
when the sun appears.
It’s a burden lifted
not to have to persevere.

I am feeling the shock of fast change. How to cope with it is of course the question. Listen to Beethoven through the neighbor's window? Look up from the page? Appreciate doves even though they are so numerous? I seem to have limitless choices although...

yeah ...
they hijacked my mind, man -
hard-wired my neural synapses
said I'd be famous ...
(wealthy, certainly)
With MY financial issues
what choice, really?
Family no longer cares -
they gave up on me ages ago
(who can blame?)
so here I am … pfffffft!!

the sci-geeks wanted to see...

We're all ingredients in the humanity stew
The sad clowns
The prescription abusers
The chickens running around without their heads

This dish can never be out done
It's killing me
Ashes from Pompeii
The braces of teenage heart throbs

Bloody black and blues from abusive relationships
Fill the pots and pans
A homemade meal per...

Having it all means being satisfied with what I have. It means being happy with the gifts God gives me on a day to day basis, which I usually am not. Why? Because I am on Supplemental Security Income, which is the lowest level of...

The actual area 1. 0. 1 had been performed this particular Wednesday currently about the server. But instead compared to relaxation, believe the actual designers associated with SWTOR and additional say right now the state discussion board since it goes using the video game, as...

Author Note:
45 minutes in the district library trying to find former president Jimmy Carter's and wife Rosalyn's book they wrote in the 1980's on Youth cause my children are driving me nuts.
(hahaha)

Good day though, even if I didn't get the title of the book for...

Paranoid by a vision I saw you standing there
 Cancel my subscriptions the billing is just unfair
  Thoughts of indecision rattle up inside my brain
   Belief in the existence of the terror that they reign

Listening to these people perfect strangers to me

What do I have to do, be another Don Trump and have 
to insult you to pieces. Well, here goes. I know that the 
intelligence level is much lower in the South and you 
have to adapt your newspaper to fit the minds and brains...

My world is modernizing,
New techniques developed my mind,
I found money,’ a factor’,
Only accelerating device,
If body is tired,
A small dose can provide rest,
If mind is tired, 
Only few healthy subscriptions can provide rest,
But if a mind is mental,
Sometimes electric shocks fail to provide normality.
A Disturbed or...

I’m over Siri-ous,
I’m over-charging,
My screen time is up,
I watched at p0rn again,
My audio volumes are up,
I’m searching stupid things,
I’m not closing all my circles,
I haven’t walked long enough,
I don’t stand at all the right times,
I may be an online shopping junkie,
I’m spending too much time...

are we all waiting for the next best thing
while resting on this plateau
is the hidden from sight 
better than our imagination
or than dreams that come at night

are we always looking over our shoulder?
wondering if it passed us by
was it at that busy intersection
the corner of...
