Long Burgled Poems

Gotcha! Once respectable haute cuisine thief Sue She...,
a septuagenarian renown for his trademark prank
to steal himself into a neighboring house,
and prepare an elaborate meal
unsuspectedly nabbed gorging
(ala man versus food
Adam Montgomery Richman fame
Brooklyn, New York boy)

Why not be righteous, stay one of the best
Spill not your beans, keep cards close to your chest
Today you are bounding, fresh in your head
Tomorrow a mind change, you wish you was dead
Your brother is...

Getting Help From the Police

Poems are chickens
They are early risers
The rooster is your masterpiece

a brittle-winged air-bender
reaching for plateaus,

Where as regardless the matter, it is our rejecter.

A broad daylight spilled over my sleepwalking mind.
I popped out of a dream knowing something.

An alien from an alternative Ohio
had cat-burgled my consciousness.

I had been probed, not in a physical way,
just ransacked and rummaged

as if...

The Autumn sun shone with golden magic
The warmth of the embrace was seen from afar
As I stood along the fence in the valley below

Inside the house are tales akin to tragic
A son had volunteered, never...

Him a day-long star,
a cosmos circled his hips.
Done doubled up 
as a short-order cook,
waltzed like a drag queen
yet he all man-child.
Older ladies curled
his hair, made him flex,
flutter slinky brows.
Thought he high-ranking
short changing, slick as sesame...
