Mirror's Grab

It's too dark for her.
She daubs mascara on glass.
The mirror has no arms...
Night's just in the morning.
There existing, the eyes ran

Upon former years, tears 
The mood stops, reflecting
Make faces, she's mine
Broken embers from limbs

Vice and crash,
Both's empty blood —
She's twisting surfacing

Barbwire that
Blocks out

Shards

Grab it Before it Passes

Tonight this full moon shines down, 
flooding my mind with old memories, 
of the way I used to be when 
I was younger, wilder, 
and free.

I know I can’t go back
and try to find those youthful days
that now haunt my mind
but I have no regrets of anything
that I might have left behind. 

Age demanded a high cost
and some of those things
I hoped to keep, got lost
in the mix when my years began
to fade away.

So don’t let your hopes go up in smoke
never treat life like it’s a joke
slow down and take the time to live
in the here and now.
Forget and
Forgive.

You will never have another chance
to pass this way again

Grab Them: The Annexation of Canada

Slight of hand
By the orange man
Firming up the border
While he grabs what he can

For the oil backed felon
With an eye on a gem
The Canadian border 
Is just another dress hem

Grab a Pill

Grab a pill

Grab a pill, with chemicals filled
Endocrine to shut down, not to feel
We are told, this is to help us cope
But through it all we can't find hope

Without hope, we get more depressed
Another pill, down our throats pressed
Making us numb, making us dumb
Walking zombies, we have become

A cereal bowl of pills, for breakfast
Taking vitamins, that are unbeneficed
Colourant, flavour, preservative - poison
Our money for big pharma - foison

So grab another pill, to fill the void
Listen to the mumbo jumbo of Freud
Another script to fill, to make you dead
As long as you never, have a clear head

Grab a pill, serotonin to kill
Endorphins and oxytocin to still
Without dopamine, you won't feel reward
All the doctors and pharma have an accord

Smash and Grab

He smashed that thing.
What was his mood?
He'd spoken to her, to him,
then to that dog, that cat.

What is the cause of a mood,
though often good, but -
oh dear! - so bad at times?
But then he returns. He’s here.

Does he always or merely often
think he's now had
a smashing event -
though only at times?

Or can he be calmed,
touched by us, gently, sympathetically?
Can he be claimed, grabbed,
drawn back into sanity?

We make judgement on that temper.
Is this a climate, an immovable region
of his sense of humour?
Will he entertain another smashing time?

My Thoughts On Smash and Grab

My Thoughts On
Smash & Grab
Miracle Man
8-15-2023

Some big cities now enforce a change in their law,
which allows an enclave to freely smash and grab.
What offenders deserve is some “Shock and Awe”,
but lawmakers have chosen meaningless confab.

They allow hoodlums to freely take from another,
they smash and grab things that have cash appeal.
Their chosen way of life is to take from some other,
and what they can’t bum they’re willing to steal.

Must decent people live and work in constant fear?
Because some other can’t or won’t earn their pay.
Daily cries go out but the disinterested don’t hear,
They should do their jobs or get out of the way.

To Grab a Sound

She reached around
    to grab a sound
  It seemed to linger there

  But when her fingers clutched at it
    her palm held naught but air

Smash-And-Grab

Shootings here, violence there
     Smash-and-grab everywhere

   So it seems, but look again
     It’s a mostly urban scene

   How much longer can it be 
     ~ To death our cities bleed

Second Time

You have for so long
Reached out for that second one -
But grab the first, first!

Smash and Grab Xmas 2021

green and red fashion —
jealousy, the unashamed
angry and greedy

Smash and Grab

Smash and Grab


Loot and nab.
Did your parents tell you, it is Ok to grab?

Stash and run.
Who taught you stealing is fun?

Job by mob.
Never had a job, for you I sob.

Crash the glass.
What care you, about the owner’s cash?

In and run out.
You sin and with joy, smile and shout.

In jails, you belong.
Lights out early and no late night songs

When Its Reasonable To Dodge

Now that testing positive
Makes one a sex fugitive
Would you your thing or bum
Keep a distance from condom?

When passions surge
And sex is the urge
Isn’t it your dirge
To with “The Managed” merge?

And who would a dagger grab,
When it has begun to stab
Or disdain a rescue cab
While some squad seeks to you nab?

When it’s reasonable to dodge
And you won’t even budge
A bullet might you nudge
Like an angered serge!

Grab the Rail

Incompetent and scared
You’ll get caught 
With your fingers
All  unprepared
To carve the image
You have made

Say what you know 
And never forget
To grow in grace
For you were placed
Here to change
The status quo

Being formal but kind
Will help you pass
The structures set
For your decline

Grab the rail
And hold on
While life sails
Cover your head
Note the haven
And return 
With the next tide

How To

Start your day
 
With a vise-like grip

About its throat

And shake the living sxit

Out of it, then
 
finish with a wink, 

An aside to nature, 

who worries for you 

more than you may think.

If Kidnappers Grab Me

If kidnappers grab me, I will kick out their tail lights
Put my hand out and wave to other drivers on the freeway
If this does not work, I will kick the trunk until it pops open
I will wave down the police 
If the kidnappers stop and chase me
I will lie on the ground and hold onto the grass
If that does not work, I will tie their shoestrings together
