Columbia South America
So stunning, this inviting street seemed!
With reptilian powers, it crawled into my
imaginative dreams.
I created the people who were living there.
Sipping their dark, magical, delicious Colombian coffee on sun-cooked chairs.
The mens’ sparkling, hypnotic eyes were
far, far, beyond any sensual compare!
I adore going to bed and closing my eyes…
~~If my heart has the courage to dare!~

Coffee Vape
Liquid smoke.
Coffee tobacco.
Coffee K-Cup.
Stress, let it go.
Coffee is a habit.
But not bad.
Coffee vape.
Smoke liquid flavor late.
Chemical nicotine.
Coffee everyday.
Wake up to the aroma.
Coffee forever.
Colombian flavored vape.
Smoke coffee grains.
Sun shoots rays through the sky.
Smoke travels high.
Addictive coffee chemical.
5000 puffs.
They can't kill me
Although many have tried
All disappointed by the results
When they discovered
I had survived
The Police and gangsters,
Mexican and Colombian
gangs
And even Drug Dealers I failed to pay
Ex-husbands of women, Ex-girlfriends that felt betrayed
Car accidents and a plane crash
But I walked away
I've lived through Earthquakes Hurricanes Volcanic eruptions
Even Tornadoes that caused devastating destruction
I've been bitten by Scorpions
a Brazilian Wandering Spider
A Rattlesnake and Jelly Fish
All painful reminders
Survived Prostate Cancer
A Sepsis Infection
causing a 30 day coma
Tuberculosis when I was just a kid
Two heart attacks and Double Pneumonia
Maybe now you'll understand
And may possibly believe
They can't kill me I'll never die
Due to my immortality
JSB

DIFFERENCE
A friend once said that
difference is a problem
when used as a weapon,
perhaps something good
when sought as an
adventure.
He started the interview
by clearing the air, told the
corporate panel at the mahogany
table that he was an African, Jewish,
Republican cross-dresser from southern
Mississippi, both the son and the daughter
of an Islamic Russian from east of the Urals
and an Ethiopian Christian of half-Chinese
descent who was partially handicapped and
wanted by Interpol for clandestinely supporting
Cuban revolutionaries and Aryan supremacists
by transporting drugs for an Afghan cartel
whose amoral leader, the half-Indian
brother of his beautiful mother was a
Colombian priest who had
broken his vows
He shuffled his feet
and prepared to get up
but the wiry-haired man at the
head of the table held up his hand, looked
over his glasses like an exasperated teacher
about to show faith in a mercurial student
“Get over it!” He said
“You start work on Monday!
You’ll be the company entertainment
for the next thirty years!”
i kept thinking
like Jeopardy
the answer is
the question
so i said who
are you for one
hundred dollars
so i answered and
then asked for
the next but on
the same series
just more money
until i got close
to the five hundred
dollar answer i
questioned
what is
the category
and no sh
it it was
beautiful
Colombian
Muses you
want to
know
i was born
right handed
and so am now
right at this moment
writing your poetry and
trying to express
myself as best as i
can without needing to
fill a demand and certainly
not giving a flying f or a dam
but as i feel
the free flow
of what water
i've become i
realize i don't
know what
my other
hand is
doing
and
so when finding
out it's driving
a personal
private
stick
shift with
a young
Colombian
in the passen
ger seat grrrr
i simply
just keep
writing in
peace and
comfort
i've got stickem stars
that glow in the dark
on my bedroom ceil
ing sealing my heart
with one with the uni
verse but versed
in constilation
formations your
consolation makes
me tighten my orion's
belt but also admit
that nothing but
the equator ever
taur us apart for
as the magi i
look not
to heaven but
the heavens and
asked to have
my Colombian
coffee served in
a milky way
as i genuflect
counting blessings
that we
are now
together
looking
up at the
southern
cross
this being
closer to what
was supposedly
really said as
not a mankind
leap but a step
for a man
not man
in general
for history
in a way they
say repeats it
self as i can be
heard breathing
heavily as i light
ly step out and off
of a plane for
my first time
on not only South
American soil but
dark coffee grind
Colombian dirt
as earth can only be
described what up
until now has been
for me seen from
a telescope
Kubrick died in ninety
nine so never saw
the real 2001 but
is said to have made
a reel of an event if
needed to be faked
so in my case in case
i don't make it
i'd like Coppola
to cast a fat
Brando as me
coughing out
cotton balls
stating so
everyone
knows this
is the real
fake
the
horror
I like to start my day with a hot cup of coffee
I pound down the coffee
First thing I do every day
as the dawning sun
Lights up my lonesome room
Yeah, but not just a simple cup of java Joe, but a God damn snarling sarcastic smarmy cup of coffee
I mean, - we are talking about an alcoholic, all speed ahead, always hot, always fresh, always there when I need it, angry, attitude talk to the hand Ztude, bad, bad assed, beats breaking, beatnik, bluesy, bitter, y, bombs away, capitalistic, caffeinated up the ass, cinematic, communistic, Colombian grown, Costa Rican inspired, Cowabunga to the max, crazy assed, devilishly angelic, divine, divinely inspired, dyslexic, epic, extreme vetting, evil eye, expensive, erotic vision inducing, Ethiopian coffee house brewed, euphoric, freaky, freazoid, foxy, Frenched kissed, French brewed, funkified, foxy lady, graphic, GOD in my coffee, with Allah, Ganesh, Jesus, Kali, Buddha, Christians, Durga, Hindus, Mohamed, Jesus and Mo and their friend, the cosmic bar maid, Sai Babai, Shiva, Taoists,
how many Polish
people does it
take to polish
a Colombian
woman's
toes???
i don't
know but
i'm Irish and
Italian so it just
takes one one of
me and one if her
getting drunk
drinking her
fermented sweat
mixed with
a bouquet
of musk with
an aftertaste
unrelated
to anything ever
to touch
my palette
sweet but dry
she's full bodied
with a bite
of cinnamon spice
she goes down
smoothly aged
to perfection
a vintage
Colombian
1994
i hate to
because
i want to
stay
awake
for to take
you
by the
hand and
shape
your clay
into a vase
you
needn't be
Ming Dynasty
for you
you please
me just being
Colombian
before
i could
finish
her
sticky
bun
she
licked
my fingers
and asked
would you
love some
Colombian
coffee
the power
of my mind
allows me to
shape the clay
made from your
dirt and my tears
confused
thinking i was
using Colombian
marble pressing thumbs
and fingers shaving flakes
and pieces making a stone idol
idly buying
by using pesos
to purchase that
which valuelessly is
time itself which is timeless
and when finished will sit atop
my
mantle
a memento
molded not knowing
might what the ending be
in abstract i see her flesh figure
in
mud
