Best Visas Poems

They took my blood and ethnic group, they did.
My soul was skulking, knowing of the strains
If I have no visa, they’ll get mad

Reading my thick newspaper was sad
Seeing they’re deporting  love again
They took my blood ,my heart and I feel bad

Water has no salt...

     Since Ron Reagan, the world’s been
       tariffing us near to death
     Our manufacturing base vanished, 
       off to Communist China, or down to greedy...

Bernard is writing Esther: "I have a family, a nice shed,
I always take the lead and have never in life been lead.
In the mornings I walk Jess, at night I drink rum, eat bread
But when I see you - can hardly breathe as if I'm...

As October 1 approaches, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY……………………
I have enormous tracts of land and vast volumes of water, but cannot feed myself.
So I spend $1 billion to import rice and another $2 billion on milk.
I produce rice, but don’t eat it. I have millions of cows...

So…Dragon ask for their own little, silver, fire retardant, suits, do tell!
Oh Lord A Mercy! The little penguins dress up sooo very cute, too!
But leave it to our government, to get mixed up, as a spy...

Scabs in Australian history
The Labor Party came from the early Shearers strike, 1900s,
 where Unions fought for and got fair wages for the workers.
Later in the 1950s the Shearers had trouble with SCABS.
The Australian National Country Party brought in the Scabs to undercut the
wages of...

Run rhino run, just like cousin cheater
Cheat on them 
They are coming again ,now it’s against
Like brother lion fight back

Their stories are made, maiming your horn
They have been there in Bukavu and left it dry
They have been in Bujumbura, left it bloody
Run my rhino run;...

It was an unusual trip that was planned,
stranger still that my Mother-in-law was the reason.
A wonderful woman who was liked by all who knew her,
kind, gentle, hard working, and grateful for the gift 
of reaching America to see her children and dreams grow.

Tea in the afternoon with his wife of many years is usually peaceful, Hubert thinks before he makes his announcement. Then he says it. 

"I'm going upstairs," Hubert tells Ruth as he hoists himself out of his old recliner, "and if I don't ever come...

There’s things to see in foreign lands
just waiting for us all.
The Tahj Mahal and Pyramids,
some Canyons, Dams and Falls.

Around the world, from shore to shore,
between our ice capped poles
the things you’ll find are wondrous
and lovely to behold.

The Artic wastes and Desert sands,
Great Forests lush and...

To build a better human use a robot
Genetics are overrated and outdated
Androids make the perfect man
With nuts and bolts who needs a soul

Love your machines
They come with metallic hands
With instructions to construct
Transgender bathrooms built to last

Humans make great pets
When inoculated they are the best
Venereal diseases...

With no arms and legs, pill escapes are hard
They all look the same inside their bottles 
Like prisoners shaved bald at executions                       
Like...

The steamy Havana night air became heavy through the broken-up streets of the old city where ancient Detroit monsters were on display like dinosaurs from some prehistoric era, forgotten, given up to the boundaries of time. 

Another empty night crawl for two wayward visitors on...

T'es Ou?


That's all I heard for 10 minutes straight
one sautéed Brussels morning in the metro
with everyone, their brother, perhaps their dog
peeing on my leg, or at least, it felt that way,
sweat running down inside my trousers

and this one woman who refused to shut up,
pink phone...

Cup Cake Insurrection

Evidence mounts as cup cakes bake in ovens
Camouflaged in chocolate brown 
Revolutions start this way they say
Secured, metallic ready in tin pans waiting 
375 degrees transformed
To something spongy to the touch
Perhaps we are over thinking this too much
Cup cakes are not the enemy,...
