Long Chyme Poems

Good morning Poison Squirrels,
Today I am going to address your bowel problems

My class groans.
We don’t like to think about them.
We are teens.

Your mouth chews up food, right? Asks Mr. Lee.
Our science teacher is way too...

Every night 
As I'm unwinding 
With the light
No longer blinding
Comes my plight
Which was residing
Out of sight
But only hiding

In the distance
I hear it creep
Though resistant
I cannot keep
As it's insistent 
That I peep
So To listen
Instead of sleep

With...

I implored myself with money and okay,
thought that feasting at the time was no crime,
and as the chyme soothingly rolled in my head's threads,
then in pretense covered that craving with a palm,

they maneuver miraculously one after another on burning coals glowing violet,
the dance steps are heartbeats, curved & compassionate, their majesty is inviolate,
their Art is...

Coral life forms in copious swarms
feast in the Cambrian chyme,
dividing their cells and forming their shells
to end on the seafloor as lime.
Tectonic churning and magma upturning
renders marble whiter than bone.
The marble is mined, but the...

God’s Got Our Back

As we walk into the shadow of 2024
The renewal of a year, a brand-new door
We’ll sleep in the valley of a peaceful snore
Why?
Cause Gods got our back

Throughout each challenge of this new...

When I was born I forgot the plasma cradle,
forgot the in-keepers daughter
who had suckled lips with pints of brewed chyme,
forgot the liquid yoke of the now unknown.

When I was born
the light was in other people’s...

Be mine. My sunny little valentine.
Be true. As blackbird to skies of blue.
Be shine. As stars, and night so fine.
Parlez-vous. Is it love I see in you?

Be real. Show the heart that you feel.

Why pumpkin pie
was pumpkin pulp
I churned each piece
a pot born gulp

And wondered why
each pumpkin died
a pot urn'd pile
of what I'd tried

When pumpkin pulp
was all the rage
And gas blessed smiles
were pooped of age

That odors flew
on Halloween
When...

Of stealing nickels and a dime
But not enough to pay the fine
So, off to prison doing time

As I leave behind my heart,

That seduces my inner self consciously;
They set my soul free to fly,
And leave my body alive surprisingly.

My heart falls into your eternal trap
Love me good and I'll make you forever...

Golden ashes


You are as gold in my eyes;

So deep I pry
Still then I cry

Can I ever run away from you?
you light up my dreaded end
Like chyme in my belly
Your end is...

The spring shade is always cool
Your eyes steal breaths of ten
Ifollow you forever like a fool
Expressions are always lost
With sweet surender and amaze
I give my heart not knowing the cost
