The Moxie

I can read for days,
and write through the hypes,

I can age old beer with emotional nights,

I can eat a whole pie,
and pray not to die,

I can sleep with no sound,
just like you hide behind the pound,

I can see the wind,

I can taste the sky,

I can see that I wasn't here first-
because...look! There! That's the real guy! 

I can find a foundation,
and prove procreation-

But I can't do it alone,
I need gyration,

...So far away from being old, 
from singing songs that get played out by the bowl,

...But the apes did there part,
and so did the Nazi's...
and so did the internet...
and so did the moxie...

Because real people like jocking-
and fake ones like coughing,

Needy nights keep popping!

While wasted winter is still flopping.


When a dead prince is beating and haughty-
you are still lying-
and you are still bossing! 

So keep reading the facts, 
keep praying for slack, 
keep wasting precious brain, 
and making another feel insane,

come out and mac! 

Do it again, and again,
and again and again! 

Be gone in a pack-
like micro germs-

you discovered my nack.

Can Or Can'T Relate

6/8/17


A world full of different colors and shapes
As well as apes
Locations that do or don't sell crepes
Vines with or without grapes
Houses with dark or light drapes
That do or don't have cassettes and video tapes
Near and far from any capes
Surfaces continually getting more scrapes

Each having their own plate
A smile on everyone's face
While one said grace
By a fireplace
Flower vase
And curtains made of lace
Soon everyone took a taste
Then said it was a great
Especially the steak
Later on, all had dessert, which was home-made cake


It's all good if you can't relate
To anything I state
Or paint
A life that is quaint
Currently got no complaints
I ain't
No saint
A lot of things took restraint

Didn't want to let it go to waste
Couldn't always play it safe
Wasn't always worth the risk, and what I happened to make
I can't afford to take a break
Or flake and be late
That'd be more than a mistake


People being honest or fake and like a snake
There's always going to be love and hate

I do more than educate
But hold up wait
Let's get one thing straight
Drake
You were on Degrassi, and I'll put you into your place
See through, not opaque
Soft as a pancake
Grab, pull and throw you out your wraith

I don't care how much your being paid
You can catch a fade

Premium Member Chips To Play

Like many poets before, I have tried all which-way
not to measure love – not to price love~
Like a post office puts sentiment to a ruler

meters jewelry purchased, already with the
weight of grief -- a romantically stricken heart; 
a summarily discarded lover, hoping to 
re-awaken a former partner’s 
fond participation, given chance for another poke 
at the fond lip, desirable pressure on the fond hip 

Large teddy bears and cards
also weighed and measured before ship -- for occasions 
missed, when wife, lover, child, having been sore-fully neglected
therefore get rightfully pissed

Even Nature, our Mother, greenly tempts, colorfully invests:
her seasonal erections of flushing, blushing, gushing 
scenting blossoms, to entice passionate play

naked torsos
tingling, mingling, aromatic redden complexions, 
sharing conjugal hyper confections

titillating beaches along winding capes 
surfboard fanatics
attempting copulating acrobatics -- 

could man be little more than Nature’s 
sophisticated, prancing, bathing, basking 
swimming, back-paddling, saturated 
zoo-like apes?

Does God purchase love
with fear of hell, therefore
man treasures love
like a market placing
calls on highs and lows 
winners to shows

nose-bleeds  
for pressured ups
while cushions
for the fearful falls -- 

keeping players
awake nights

for rosy to ripe
the tremulous trigger

the purring calls?

The Trials of Meretrix Canto Iv

Approach yonder rack, O fearful
Meretrix;
Wouldst here weak flesh reform
Beneath the buckled and tightening
Strap...
That which be transfixed by thy 
Fearful gaze.
Lo...A confusion befalls upon thee,
My Meretrix,
Your whirling emoitions trapped
Inside encroaching walls,
Floundering within neurons confines, 
Of a brains inwardly collapsing maze!

As throughout these crowded 
Corridors
Of your hectic and turbulent mind...
You reach...
And grasping,
Desperately grope for your senses
Like some wretched entity 
suddenly and Inextricably struck 
Blind!

Laid down on this cold slab of 
Submission;
Slowly to be freed from all moral
Restraints;
To be joined to me through subjection 
Of attrition.
Just as thee burgeoning weight of thy
Guilt
Compress upon all diminishing 
Resistance -
So then the growing appetites for
Mine deeds
Become thine indulging subsistence.

For I will accord you the wealth of a 
Mighty nation
Such as any sprawling empire has 
Ever seen.
Lift you higher above any royal and 
Regal station;
Lavish upon you with precious gems
And encrusted tiaras...
Taken from the fairest head of wise
Solomons 
Most beautiful and loveliest queen.

And I will serenade you with a song
From whales,
A lullaby from dolphins sing:-
Drawn from the chants of silky haired 
Sirens tales
Whose treacherous wiles pollute upon
An ocean wind.
Hear ye, Meretrix, the mermaid 
Blowing upon the Conch shell,
Her broad fluke thrashing between
The spray:- 
For none that linger shall live to tell -
Once their foolish ears are led
Horribly astray!

I shall grant thee eagles wings
So you may climb and soar 
Above all the fragile worlds of puny
Men;
These Neanderthals and ignorant 
Apes,
Whom all thee sneering Gods so 
Much deplore,
Wallowing in avarice and filth of
Lowest denizen...
Whilst slowly sinking into this foul
And stinking mire
Forever and for evermore!

Evolved Ape

the world order became so chaotic 
way after ape already evolved to a man  

	it’s nonsense, if you call this an evolution 
	the ape shouldn’t step on the earth and stand upright 

the sun is a whirlpool of blaze overflowing lava 
the black hole is a tundra snowstorm formation, the torrent of a glacier

	that’s the difference between comedy and tragedy 
        is one thin sheet of paper, life and death is on the same path
 
don’t be hasty, when spring comes, the flowers bloom
there’s no need to force the flowers to bloom before their time 
men's desire is to see the flowers in any season  
  
	perhaps, that’s why every flower 
        has a different shape and fall, regardless, in season

        the way of men’s life 
        rolling along in changing seasons all different,
        it’s difficult to distinguish the ape from the tree
        or the man the potter made with clay?
        and further, it confuses me more, because 
        the destination is the same for all creatures 

	even so, there’s no need to sink into 
        a swamp of unsolved problem 
        and torment yourself; 
        simply look at the day
        earth circles the same orbit there’s light and darkness
	
	when the morning comes, you’ll see the sun,
        when you see the sun you will live another day,
        and repeat conscious or unconscious, advancing 
        one more day stepping on another day.

I wonder why the ape came down from the tree
and made this world complete chaos; 
in the name of mankind, apes made men
ugliest creature on the earth, made them hate and harm
each other, to sustain their lives, Oh; what wicked apes!

Premium Member Memoirs

See truth make sense
Live present tense


Work with plain words
Let tale be heard


When you look back
See acts of fact


Time and space move
In active grooves


Years pass so fast
To first and last


No need to hide
In empty pride


Learn to live well
So age can tell


Peace funds pure joy
As work employs


Soon you can see
Fond memories


Start to jot down
Sage, fool and clown


Record your tracks
As memoir stacks


Start poignant lines
Write what feels fine


Laugh and have fun
With story puns


Let form take shape
Sculpt man that apes

False Preachers Prayer

Money consceous in precise.
It's a bone thrown to domesticated dog,
My whole life was set on clock,
Narrow way wasn't part of my want...
Broadway was a prioritised sort,
Fire in my heart shows Golliath size,
Nobody knew David would be in God's eyes,
In spite of leading classy trites, 
Those mindset later got rot,
Smoke from coals couldn't permit me to tie a knot,
Obsessed with pride,
Led innocent men to evenly backslide,
Holy scriptures for staunch believers,
Mine was published with fellow deceivers,
The spiritual babes get enticed to scheme lullaby, 
The truth,how many of them is ready to buy?
Our living is likened to the adventist of ghost Apes,
We hunt for corpse in caves,
Without thinking of ours in graves,
Home of tribulation will I enjoyed divine pain,
That's when nothing will be left to slain,
God please hold me from the prey,
For in you will I be saved.

Rainy Days

5/4/22


Far from the ace of spades
Dabbed out and off paper planes
It's no biggie or cutting deep like razorblades
Staying out in the suns rays or shade
Still finding my way inside a crazy maze
Always going to be rainy days
From it all, there was zero or a lot I would take away
Too much is fake and lame
On the daily people playing games
I had to face the pain
Even when it may be strange
But I was able to make a change
Otherwise it all would remain the same
The one in who they would always place the blame
It's far past time I take aim
I want riches but don't care to gain fame
Yet again another virus corrupted the main frame
Regardless of what they say
What happens when it's mayday?
It's been bigger than the great escape
As well as snakes and apes
Nah we weren't ever on the same page
Since the big bang came
I've been space age
What still occurs in this world gives me insane rage
It's a dang shame
I drank too much again, now my brain aches

Premium Member Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas I went shopping suits,
As shoes looked rat-eaten, needed also warm boots;
Sales girls, in malls displayed suits in variety,
Blown up cost and lean purse grew my anxiety...!

Malls are looters, I thought, like the fox and sour-grapes,
Have proprietors, owing greed, have become apes?
In cool colors and satiny shine they sell soul,
Counting cash at the cost of the poor is their goal...!

Textile showrooms, as less showy, could be better, 
They might not put me a perpetual debtor;
Varieties, there could be more, in cost less,
After all, to grace all seasons I need good dress...!

American Giant; Peter England; Rouje;
All internationals seemed like dagger and gouge;
Fashions so funny; rough and gunny; yet the cost,
Summing my few notes repeatedly, I was lost...!

Settling to try local stores, I slowly walked,
Shops were numerous like swarms serially stocked;
Each had limits in my sight; in brand or in grant,
Grade low if price less and vice versa if looked grand...!

Some smiled; some giggled; some, like friends made me convinced;
Some, like hooker-women luring actions evinced; 
All these shops and show-rooms, as I narrate, not bad,
Within, I know, lack of notes is what made me sad...!

Street textile vendors will help me out, I believed,
By such sure sincere folks I will not be deceived;
With such thoughts, like an athlete I ran to each street,
Challenges like pain and perspiration, I did beat...!

You are late - they said, they pack up by twelve at night,
On Christmas they feast; though fiscally they are tight;
I went back thinking of suits within my wardrobe,
Though they have many holes, they are best in whole globe...!
