rolling wall to wall - tumbling down the hall
infamously down the stairs, sans fall.
who can be as cool as a roly poly kid?
the older lady, you can guess who, has to crawl
to make it off the floor, crawling like a babe, new.
she hopes not to stumble on the shadows that fall.
naptime and tea, my buzz, whilst the kid
endlessly tumbles his way through adolescence.
one day, the same fate awaits him as the rest of us.
but now is his time, to aimlessly go head over heels,
not in love yet, just maneuvering like a rolled out rug.
this kid with unfathomable energy until he sleeps.

There was a dear November long ago
Tucked on the top shelf with my good stuff
Along with the other fond sentiments
Good books and pictures go hand in hand
But that first Fall in college was a keepsake
Now and then, I open that box
I see graying skies over a football field
And our losing season in the mud
And a student juggling school, practice, and work
I can say I bobbled that ball infamously bad
Which mirrored the Portland weather
I fished for nirvana, and the line snapped
But I enjoyed that maiden voyage nonetheless
The bonding with fellow students
The first parties, dances, and romances
That first Thanksgiving with my roomies family
Yet for some reason, I remember less of school work
And more of a pumpkin patch
... and a rustic leaf falling to the ground

You Tube fame,
reality
stars who
infamously
infiltrate our youth
and promote
success
for being
nothing
more than shrewd
salespeople
who market one thing:
themselves, anger me ‘cause
I
was born just too soon.

He, the almighty, is ubiquitous, an omnipresent force
Lilith, the first woman – made from Earth - defied him.
He, the almighty, held no empathy for beings like her.
Lilith, the first wife of the first man – despised him.
He, the Almighty, came to know fear –
The extraordinary virility of her witchcraft troubled him.
Lilith, the martyr – deserted the splendors of Eden
Her buffoonery - her egotism disgusted him
He cursed her, “One hundred of her children would die every day.”
Her agony - her depression thrilled him
Lilith – the first wife, the first woman – lost in history
He, the Almighty – deceived the gullible into idolizing the spectacular him
Lilith, the queen, infamously a demon, covertly a Queen.
Eureka! She is the woman of all women and the enemy of him!

I repeat, bring up now if you can
Any trick or any politics against me
I promise I will bravely show you the fun
As I have been facing
Some bloody idiots for long
No problem I have to face once more
I am ready to confront
Quick and fast bring up your stupidity
I fear not
And I think you dare not
To claim that you have brain
As it is infamously said
I am more efficient to analyse things
And place logic more than an intelligent man
You may now change the topic
And can show me the power of your money
But forget me not
I know the secret formula of equity market and lottery
Bring up , quick and fast
All the tricks of the hell
And all the politics from your crook head
I promise I will checkmate you
Because I myself is an able politician.

Tear stains on the membrane cast from above
Elliptical heat resonates from a hug
Propagated through strenuous gestures
Made of delirious bodies of conjectures.
Thunderous jeers repudiate the self
Of those so wicked to sting with thine mouth.
A cancer is thee to all surrounding. Infamously
Legends shall be whispered, th name linked with disparity.
Timeless indulgence drawn to each hand
Flounders colloquial mischief upon the sand.
Jaundiced tears pour forth from crevices
Unknown, unheard of as bitter tasting mattresses.
Fanciful carnages meander forth wordlessly
Constricted by dueling currents carelessly
Vacillating toward irregular shore lines and
Timultuous throngs of conspicuous deck hands.

They are spending each last printed dollar.
They ignore us out here who still holler:
"Better tighten your belt,
or what might be felt
is the noose slipping under your collar."

Infernal fire, Saturnus satire
The kiln that melts the satin strings
and stirs things far beyond belief
The relief it brings, infamously bought
then intimately brought
As life lessons sing about everything
so incessantly taught
Evocation retort against love
Where hearts beat to aching extent
and pain stings as incandescent
as lightning strikes from above
Leaving malformed and dented
the punch bag of pride
As the moral gloves come off,
unintended but evanescent
To retaliate with subtle strikes
and fight back against the mauling
of purpose that died
