Long Chaired Poems

Figurative paralysis laid waste body electric of mine

This is Spinal tap 
bamboozling, binding, bleeding, bombing...
ripped from every dog eared 
and book marked page
recounting latest ill fated fiasco, 
now peppering my life and hard times
causing quite...

Automobile prohibitive maintenance costs
pitches me pitifully begging for alms
lamenting dog forsaken
melon collie unpleasant circumstances
pleading with outstretched palms
disgraced to beg, perhaps donate
major organ and/or entire body

to ease vehicular qualms
aha... methinks the missus could pose
as ventriloquist after...

I’m about to tell what’s an important story,
Of a singer who is sadly now long gone,
Whose story needs some increased recognition,
He could p’raps be described a special one.
He was born in nineteen forty two,
And sadly...

I never met but always appreciated Diane.
Through the media, I knew her first as a politician.
From my perspective, I knew her later as a good lady.
I observed the manner of her poise and her calmness.

I did not realize I am a waiting room peeping tom princess until today.
When I first arrived, I made a mistake and laughed when an
older lady was yelling into the phone about what a
loser her...

Once upon a time, my life was on track
Moving onward, achieving all my goals
Revered by my peers, their pats on my back
They praised my advice and said it was gold

Its was nice that they cared...

My daily drive; today through pouring rain,
Behind road fog snaking towards me from the truck ahead,
Slowly approaching the cloud-shrouded glass and metal,
Framed by downtown's bustling highways.

Graffiti on walls and overpasses define the city climate
Testimony of...

Vampire vixens
Sharing their spoils
Lusting crimsons
Bodies coil
 
Fencing tongues
Caressing of flesh
Internal erectness
State of undress
 
Bodies drenched
Thirst quenched
Red flow run
Sexual scent
 
Midnight writhe
Before the dawn
Vixens of darkness
The dark ones spawn
 
Entrance he makes
Cloaked in death
To taste their...

Not a long time from your day
Is a walk around “Duck Pond”
On asphalt, beneath tall green trees,
Sporting growing “pitcher plants”,
Grasses, flowers, butterflies,
Fluffy clouds in high blue skies,
A walk, a jog, a run, just sit –
It’s...

Her cards were all signed and sent.
She inhaled the rich, pine candle.
Fixed a birch branch that was bent.
Indeed, it was at a obtuse angle.


She recalled relatives now long gone.
Wishing their presence still lit the room.
Remembered...

There wild cats howl whole night!
Oh! But owls and dogs ain’t there.
(Let’s pray! a busty bitch appears out of nowhere
And bears big dogs.
And on old walnuts near the new house—
Old owls hoot,
And one beside our...

Then if you are real
Like mother’s kitchen broom 
Wipe out my Africa 
Like a clan of cockroaches –

Rumour eats my Africa 
She trades itself 
For the meagre funds 
Gathered like firewood 
By those new big-bellied...

Open eyed I stare at the simple setting 
waiting for the day to start,
the bread-baked scent of morning warms.
The grinder whirs and whirs,
beans fly, grounds brew, cream chills,
will you come?

Rose nails tap, finger wish to...
