Long Booing Poems

PSYCHOTIC JOURNEY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


Feeling really beat,  I went to bed early last night
Suddenly awakened feeling something’s not right
There was total darkness, I was not in my room
Lying on a cold flooring, with a feeling...

Another shift ends. I'm dead on my feet.
Too shagged to even eat.
The word leads (inevitably) to you...
I slipped the timesheets from work today.
Another incident occurred...
Sweetie, please be there, and say you care.
I loved working alongside...

Opening Day with a Little Delay

Take me out to the ball game
 Of balls and strikes - bloopers and perfect games; 
 Basket catches, ERA’S, country hardball;
 Foul balls, the pick off, intentional walk, the...

The bases needed sweeping 
As the end was drawing near
Buns and weenies waving
As Fans swilled down their beer

The crowd jumped to their feet
As Macy went to bat 
And while walking to the plate
To everyone he...

Battlefield, in the sporting arena of Victory or agony’s defeated,
Warriors of the pigs skinned javelin, tackle each other at the
White lines of collisions honor, marked by the numbered...

A man unpresidentially known for the showerhead
Msholozi, the man in charge of singlehandedly running a nation into crisis
With him at the helm the public anxiously watches as the state of things degenerate
The rand has slumbered,...

I lay in this mess bored
Like I’m half torn
Before I was born
I had to press forward.
Live deceives you
And think,
What’s in between blinks?
It’s not a manner of speech
It’s what deceives you to think.
What makes people meet

I uttered an authoritative groan as he let
go of my hand
This was it
Never ever was I again going to stroke his
cheeks or fondle any other art in his
glittery body
I wanted to run away as memories
spanked...

In warm embrace of gravity blanket,
I feel lazy and sluggish!

The fog outside melting on the glass,
Is beseeching entry to my cozy blanket!

I must ignore and defy,
But the whiff of hot caffeine is igniting!
And this merciless...

It’s the beginning of best tinker week! Get up! Let’s go! Wake up! Come on!
The rest of the family has already gone!

In a tossing and turning night, to wake up I forgot
Never slipping from a series of perpetual dream
A strange situation over and again, escape I could not
In the fabric of this woolgather, I couldn’t tear...

Neighborhood

Dawn rises touching the hilltop - new light swelling with the smell of coffee and bacon.  Eyes blink away the sandman’s residue, loud yawns like lions, footsteps in pj’s resound on staircases – breakfast...

Flowers blooming
Spaced out or in a tight-knit grouping

All around things looming
In space objects still or moving and zooming

Birds pluming
And other animals grooming

Downloads queueing
Electronics in need of a rebooting
Or powering off, to enable cooling

Below, on and...

Under the blue sky
Thunder feels like
Pain
Someone's gonna cry
Hidden by the rain
Soft echoes of grief
Fill the midnight air
Who knows what lies beneath
Does anyone even care
Why the words get lost
Do they have any meaning
What was the final...

I will have a lizard lollipop please.
Brown lizard or polka dot? Eyes or no eyes?
Long tail with a hook or short tail with a V?
The line waiting to order shuffles her feet.
White or red? Pink...

When I was still rising, from east to west
Little I got it, my old ones tough
They asked how much, the soil plus shelter
I thought but bit, all for my laugh

In the highest school on earth,...

An alien landed in my thoughts today in the form of a gnat,
Right on the paper, it happened like that.
Not bothersome, not a worry at all,
Not big or fat or two feet tall.

Which is sometimes...

Back in 1964 Harry and Larry
  Just couldn't agree,
  Who was cuter,
  Mary or Dee.

At lunch was a fight,
  Kids gathered 'round;
  Didn't care it weren't right--
  Fists a-flying,...

Ailments? Purim Cures 'Em!
Down 'N the Dumps?
Simcha smoothes most lumps,
What's Simcha? Briefly, Shared Joy,
As more 'tis shared, less there is to annoy!
Trade a warm feeling, return a smile,
Rids everyone of at least some bile.
Together, we...

Dismay
I heard a splendid, discontent grumbling

And the cries never scaring
The tittering trepidation taunting

I channel not my displeasure my hurts and pain yet I remain DISMAY

Suddenly, I heard some retching
The flaunting and the fetching

My mind always...
