Impost Poems


Roll in Sin

Roll In Sin

Rulers are just straight measuring sticks  
Buddy clubs and straight jackets
Ladders behaving like flowers
Black rose bush learing over the pastel shined Tulips grown 

A different life green and blue
People can represent and stay true
In a suit 
What is common  with people that don't have the loot
What did I learn
What did I throw away
Feel value 
In the works 
A peckish primal poverty
Needed to outlast Trump
More than guns at the border
Respect
I  impost them 
The 5a.m bunny rabbit has no clue
To the price of food 
Who am I praying to
Don't I need to know what it means before I try to pray

Premium MemberIgnoring Schism

The schism is forgotten on this day.
Our insanity is hurried by the sun's sway.

We stroll on the rocks without a coast.
Clouds hurriedly come into view impost.

When it rains, it soaks up onto the sidewalk.
Passion is what gives us the capacity to talk.

Our emotions are hampered by your ooze.
We'll be way up that hill while you snooze.

Beach

The horizon cuts straight, long, hard
silently declining less than a degree

like toys across a cartoon’s one frame stillness
a small yacht rocks like a child’s boat
a helicopter putters, a small jet silently
bellies over the sea thundering suddenly
against a graded blue sky
children flying a kite
a plummeting twisting tied bird in its death throes
falling from the warm seemingly red-speckled blue 
broken only by a smudge of grey cloud

curling white-tipped waves swirl against rocks
a lonely Zen-meditative crab in their shade

the sand, ridged, striated, pockmarked
small holes left as bubbling miniature blowholes
fine lines webbed around 
sand rippled like the sea, waved and cleansed 
a poetic transgression? – Neptune’s impost?
the soap-sud foam his in-coming joyful jouissance 
the thin receding water a pin-spot bridal veil
and a bridal train, its white scalloped lace edge
pleating, folding, hiding under the next wave
in rippling curving line-patterns

Rich Lady

A very rich lady from Burbank,
Was in a canoe when it sank,
Her fur and diamonds got lost
In the watery impost,
As she dog-paddled her way to the bank.
