Long Assed Poems

Imagine we live in an eco-normative story

ecological,
psychological,
biological health and well-being value roots.

One day, our PolyCultural Received View
unveils a co-operatively synergetic evolution 
of positive...

I suppose
cannibalism
is the logical conclusion
of rabidly overpopulated fascism.

Some cannibals,
perhaps all,
ate their human prey
not for typical nutritional reasons
like other forms of digested nature,
but more specifically
because those dining
hoped their prey's sacred powers
would thereby become their own,
conjoining for...

I've spent so much time trying to write a good poem, that I've ignored the possibility of
BAD POETRY.

Bad poetry,
the soul speaks in cat-whispers,
I meow one back,
The garden bleeds living colour,

So at 47 I have arrived.
A position most disconcerting,
Troubling? Nay,
Downright disturbing!
A blatant assault.!
An ego in default.
Should have steered left, 
Perhaps joined a cult.

Having settled back into the lap,
Of my original birth sack,
I am anything but...

“Speak from the heart”
What a load of crap
Cut straight to the point

From the start, the middle to that bitter-sweet end

A compilation of half-assed dates
Boring moments between two boring individuals

Punches, slaps,...

Time keeps flying
I'm trying
They keep prying
Continually lying
And spying
Because they want to see me crying
Frying

And stop me, but it did not
