Long Bound and gagged Poems

Neigh say being  corralled & cult shod 

"Sic semper evello mortem tyrannis"
translation = thus always I 
bring death to tyrants.”

Above the fray of twittering, 
squabbling, and madding crowds,
an arrogantly belligerent creature deified, 
yet vilified...

As an easy pushover and soft touch lamenting my demise
Vultures swooped overhead
and preyed on my vulnerabilities
forcing me to carrion camping
as fine young cannibals
sharpened their knives
and licked their lips
while eyeing me as their naked lunch
bound and...

Unsolved criminal mystery...modest prevarication

Found yours truly
a grateful dead head
convenient scapegoat dejure
Norristown police officers
fingerprinted me for 
casual postal employment
linked to vicious brutal crime
someone else who shared 
identical name and fingerprints as mine
the latter of corpse far...

harangue since landing 
yours truly immersed 
in a dream-like 
fiercesome state of war,  
not quite a dream

They say dreams are the gateway to the show, the subconscious
like dreams are the free movies you subscribe to 
once you close your eyes
If that's true
then what kind of movies am I subscribed to
What on...

(not really, but just wanted

Thus "NOT FAKE," but
poetic quasi true anecdote
infused fictionalized
by this ole goat
with prevarication
to enliven of no note
characteristic, and certainly
not worth quote

From cold concrete floor to plaster ceiling
in cardboard boxes, damp and peeling;
beneath migraine fluorescence,
humming, blinking incessance.
They languish spectrally bound and gagged,
indexed, filed, stamped and tagged:
a desert vista of yellowing paper.
They say nothing,
travel nowhere.

Confetti never thrown...

Goodbye now
Is this how you wanted me?
I cannot breathe
your memory
is simply choking me

You’re like a tomb
dark and dead
You put bad thoughts
into my head

You’re why I can’t sleep at night
You ruined my life
and ruined my mind
I...

They cry out to be saved
By a darkness they did not birth
But even as they reach out
Their hands are cut off
And they're bound and gagged
And mutilated on TV
Leaving us all with red stained hands
There isn't...

Tonight he saw within her eyes
A different kind of light
Laying beneath her smokey glance
Was a passion to start a fire
He knew what he had done
He thought it was a secret
But the look of disgust upon...

Where is this place that I find myself in
Was I snatched by a gun toting gang
I don’t recall anything quite so extreme
Since my poetic musings began

It’s not the first time and it won’t be the...

He still recalls how it all went down,
One mistake was all it took.
He went left, his team went right,
Those two steps led to 59 hours of pain and fright.
A twinge of pain, a foggy voice...

When apocryphal bedlam spreads its crazy pinions

	Fake news holds court in the newspaper's dominion

		Incessant lies convert to self-righteous 'truth' in print

			I light a fire with a fact check stone cold sparky flint

Surely I respect pluralism...

Fear leaks out my pores
Stinging my eyes as it rolls down
Running on and on
I turn my head around
I look again and I see
You're still chasing me
And I run on
I run on


I run away then back...

Have you heard who’s coming to town? 
Why, she’s only the very best actress in around!
She can make you angry,  make you cry
She can make you laugh so hard you’ll wonder if you’re high

he stood 
among the swasticka's 


a star 
in the center of chaos


and still
he couldn't comprehend


with ticket in hand 
for a train 
that was heavily laden 
with lost hope 


he was bound and gagged 
by religion...

In New Orleans for some highjinks.
Here to rally ‘round the flag.
She’ll be open to suggestion
When I’ve got her bound and gagged.
I won’t need to solve the riddle 
Of the chicken or the egg
To distinguish first...

Watching as you
glide into apathy’s arms,
and collapse
listless and wondering
in awe of emptiness.


As your hands lay open
mine are bound,
our words of hate
hang from barbed wire,
string out, 
fluttering,
like the miles of fur
on a rabbit proof fence,
separating us...

The monster carried a copper saber in his left hand, giving me a fright.
He was slashing an imaginary foe with a bronze sword in his right.
Upon closer inspection I saw this skeleton’s all-knowing green eye

One day she left her house, feeling out of sorts
as if some premonition spoke to her.
It said to just stay home; to not go out.
No logic in this, though, could she infer.

She ran her errands,...

Sick n tired of u phonies
No such thing as loyal homies
Shaking hands, hugs
Taking pictures like u love me
Oblivious of the difference
In "friends"and being "friendly"
Try to pull some buckshots
You'll get a not so happily ever ending

Follow me.
Take my hand and my lead.
Let the sticky, cool night air
Swirl in circles at our feet.
Beg the moon to stay around
Beg the moon for you and me.

Talk to me.
Parting your lips right on beat,
Hiss...

I had enough of lust.
And for a long time, I was waiting for love to knock at my door.
And  when I heard the knock, I became excited.
But that quickly faded, when I...

My angel is bound and gagged
As I still don’t listen for her
No matter what she did to warn me
I ignored and bound her some more
She can’t help me anymore
