Long Bottlenecks Poems

All Bottled Up

Bottlenecks are one thing driving down the road
Making one late for work is another
Cumbersome, slow and an all time low

Containers made from glass have their ups and downs
Mostly downs we’re told

Their poisons kill...

Where silhouetted sentinels silently stand in vain
bleeding shades of layered shame on blight-lined highways below, 
their ghostly shadows remind us of dreams we dared to drain.   
  
Interred on unkempt plots, crumbling...

Quick to forget the Off-Duty Grant
That makes bosses not rant
Easily treating An Observer,
To a levity of A Grieving Server
All stops are boldly pulled out
Like irritable errors struck out,
All restrictions kicked aside
Or left to their time...

In recent times, it has become a center of controversy.
Two out of three lanes are inaccessible in Fort Lee.
This blockage is an obstacle for vehicles used...

Lost am I 
In the bottlenecks of sorrow
Those hunches about you
Smug an empty tomorrow,

I lock the doors
Yet you appear
Behind those silhouettes 
I tend to disappear,

Burying my head
Deep into the pillows
With a chest soaring
Against the prison...

She has nothing to hide
She bathes from phoenix waters
Her face is a painting of emotions
Joy, fear, anger, sadness
Triumphs over lakes of unbelievable 
Her body is a shrine
Of Lady of Morals
The Titans bow to her
As she...

Half wits spouting half-measures,
never fully investing
in the future of 
flesh-and-blood commodity — 
You and me

Air head bottlenecks 
spewing half-hearted promises,
full belly lies
Bloated heifers udder scam skim siphoning 
our children’s milk money empty

Half mast, drunken pirate...

Toys

Too much of everything, no equanimity, 
ipods and emails engulfing your brain; 
snafus and bottlenecks, traffic and tie-ups,
endless confusion will drive you insane.

Perhaps it would be best to pause for a moment
and give up your...

Dimmed and crestfallen
You object for the vices!
Your trimmed hopes
Your dampened spirits
See what has befallen you
You played the prey
You braced for the claws


In the grinding grip
An enduring grotesque 
A slew of bottlenecks
Verily the grain of misfortunes
