Long Breastfeed Poems

I was on my ambivalent fence
about who to watch watch the solar eclipse,
my alcoholic allies
or the designer THC corporate investors.

Wherever it was,
we read excerpts from two permaculture designers,
to get our minds ready for this great...

I guess you're seeing a flag?
Trouble comes and go,
The range of my eyes captures all black
Walk with me if life is without you alone,
Steal an emblem to save a city,

Counting stars through the ceiling,
Hiding from the sun under my blanket,

I understand we'll never return.
Behind my warmth,
I'm stacked up with shame.

Furthermore clarification
Do whatever it takes not...

Yesterday,
She was a beauty Queen,
Flying and walking on the smooth roads,
On the streets and restaurants,
Beer parlours and churches,

Politics is smart on one side
but it's half luck for another
when you win it's hazard
when you lost it's sourish
I think so much Pirulin

Who doesn't cry, doesn't breastfeed
still...

I hide like she is a bear
Like she abducts like LRA rebels do
As naive as a church brother

I know a lady is a woman
A woman means someone to suckle...

The child will grow certainly 
To become responsible
