Long Buzzers Poems

The day was short and I was tall,
oops, got that backwards after my fall,
for I was mixed up and worried,  befuddled I say
on this brand new morning in the month of May.
I set out...

Tonight the understaffed was overloaded with impatient calls n' flashing buttons buzzing the central core
I marathoned from room to room in frantic answer 
My vision rang from Rocky Horror, the Ringling Brothers to your flesh...

In the stillness of the night
Thoughts palpitate my mind
Now racing with the clock -
Striking the second hour of a new day.
I lie awake beyond the quietness
Only aware of an occasional car
Marking the stillness.
Closing my eyes...

On a bright sunlit morning, washed brilliant with clover,
the day was alive with complacency, as color.
The day had no reason to quiver off course.
A cat in a tree, was stalking a bird,
and people were rising,...

"Radio"
Snippets of classic jingles ring diabolically in our brain
Converging good tunes for bad products
Their repetitive nature send shoots rattling and ringing
Over and over again, gee, have a little music with you commercials!

Morning shows ruled by...

Why do I do it, It’s hard to explain
This obsession that’s driving me slowly insane
The dark hours seem endless, the boredom intense
You would think at my age I’d have more common sense

The weather’s ‘Brass Monkey’...

Waiting around, heart’s failing, to death I’m resigned 
      Lying in a bed, someone wake me, going out of my mind 
    I sense sharks swimming below,...

Come on you lot wakey wake
A start of another crazy day
Give the comatosed children a chant
Dash to the bathroom now it's vacant
No time for a rest or sleep
Just on the go cup of tea
Uniforms pressed...

We humans are the gods of the computer age. We have mastered the use of ones and zeros. Some argue we have created artificial intelligence. But is it possible that ones and zeros have replaced...

Video Games VS Real Life: Driving
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

(The Video Game)
There he was on the racetrack.
Eager!  Darting in and out.
Slipping, sliding, glancing back
Boisterous screams and driving dreams -

Speed: 190 on...

I refuse to think of these days as melancholy.
The “s” has been missing on my keyboard for about a year now,
and in that year I have felt great pleasure, surmounted
great obstacles, and have wrangled
and tormented...

So she shifted 
       and she shifted
till the veil from off her lifted,
and she turned around 
      and saw you,

I don’t need God,
I’ve got cable’
I don’t go to church,
Even though I am able.

I don’t need God, 
I’ve got a cell phone,
As long as someone calls,
I am never alone.

I don’t need God,
I’ve got a roof...

There is art in madness
Brushstrokes on faces
And gold in men’s hands

There is horror in masses
Greed in classes
And tears in blinded eyes

There is wrong in doing right
Fear in willing to fight
And shame alone at night

There is...

Budgie's Quote: 
There is a balance between the Divinity of nature,
and the Divinity of spirituality.

Soul of mine you have taken a shine to the beauty 
that resides in every tree and every lake. 
You have...

Demonic voices
Drenched in acid rain
Despicable noises
Depressing pain

Hand me the gun
Free your soul
Break the mold
The sun was shunned

Thorns twisting around
Crushing your bones
Corrupting your senses
A guise for dementia

Follow the buzzers
To a land barren and empty
Once so lush...

there were buzzers and bells, rattles and bangs
a long rubber snake with horrible fangs
a mural in crayon the length of the hall
of misshapen cows -giraffes not too tall

out in the kitchen the dog cleaned the...

We spent days of two thousand fifty five
Like noisy buzzers of poorly formed beehive
You built me a storm out of the star’s light
When I was asleep after our everyday fight
I heard you in my dreams,still...

Remove your watch; take off your belt
And place them in this bin.
Your pockets must be empty
Or we will not let you in.

Then walk through slowly, just in case
There’s metal to detect.
If buzzers sound, security
Will have...

Garden Party

Honey bees
petal to petal
roving salesmen
pressing buzzers
leaving calling cards
blowing in the wind.
Butterflies,
in flowing gowns
adorn red carpet
of jealous rose.
Fireflies, nocturnal
lantern carriers
of the pixies,
announce the stars.
Dew drops, wet kisses
upon pursed lips,
awaken passion
under cover
of darkness.
Ants parade,
long Conga Lines
passing...

Life in hospital wards,
with blue drapes, white washed floors,
grey assets, wheeled tables.
Corn-beef hash, carrot mash,
day-pay TV cables.

Life in hospital wards,
spiked fevers, cooling aids,
pee cups, samples of stool.
Loose laced gowns, ECGs,
stagnant air, stubborn drool.

Life in hospital...

Sharp blades through their stem
They evince smiles in all of them
Wrapped in plastics, bound by ribbons
Glittering in glass vases, beautiful prisons
They bleed in the sunshine for the bees
As the buzzers dance around petals and leaves
They...

as sunset burns the distant sky
awakening small things that fly
to sally forth into the night
to sniff you out and take a bite
while others like a drilling rig
not quite so small, but not real big
will puncture...
