Long Conveyor belt Poems

THE CITY AND THE STATE OF PLAY TODAY

No one worries about morals today 
They follow the rules they create
So to them all is ok
Those on the outside looking in 
Are the only ones feeling queasy...

Vexation at self - regarding avoidable altercation...

Today May 12th, 2021
at Royersford (Pennsylvania) LIDL,
when spouse stepped into checkout line
(minus her horse drawn grocery cart -
pushed courtesy yours truly).

While passively standing stock still
I (think Stonewall Jackson)

AN APPOINTMENT WITH DR. VIAGRA

Husband: Honey, I consulted a doctor before using this product and my erection has lasted four or more hours so I guess I'm going to have to seek immediate medical attention

Indignant, his head hung low, eyes glassy, all he has is his memories.
Within the pain he can no longer tolerate, within the hundreds of enmeshed bodies…
Stinking and rotting.
All he has is his memories.
Escaping the frightful...

Little Coffee House 

It’s the coffee counter line-up
A conveyor belt of people 
Ready for their little treat
A little piece of comfort
From their favorite beanery
I strum as I watch them 
My guitar like an old friend
They...

Smoke drifts from the smokestacks
On dark and gloomy days
Just before the first rains of Summer
Crates are collected and stacked
And thrown onto the conveyor belt
So they may disappear into the fortress

A robot sings songs of yesteryear
And...

In the center of the ocean
There is unusual commotion
On the island on that ocean
Wrath and hate is the prevailing emotion

On the island beautiful Alexandra bird wing butterfly
Will fly
To the endless azure sky
But if he goes...

I am alone, 
I am thinking about the past; it's gone,
no chance of return. 
In need to move on, 
daydreaming what's possible,
checking the mail, checking the text. 
How long it's been, dread to think... 
Reciprocate...

When I read
that we are all sculpted
upon his image
the first imprint appeared in front of my cognition
is that one of the parts sliding down the conveyor belt
just like at Fiat's

little pieces dropping in paper boxes
warily...

You’re a consumer pawn on the cargo chessboard,
being merchandise moved 
by the mighty, 
free-market bellow powers-that-be:
The Babble Tower titans of industry

And the fawning, vote hopes that you have
is advancing 
conveyor belt backwards
The packaged progress that...

By the kitchen sink my time is lost,
hovering by a random fruit fly flies by,
by a hanging holiday trinket of a glass blue-eye 
foreground to the view of the Elmworth estate
before me, a window of...

During my morning prayers the Lord gave me the most powerful vision.
It stirred my heart so deeply causing me to weep.
I have never seen such love from our Savior displayed like it was in this...

failed “savior” turns addict

s/he wants to “save” you from yourself
to feel like they have a
purpose,
as if they were put on this planet by some greater force,
something that spoke to them & 
said,
“dearest subject, you need...

MUSING AT THE LIBRARY

Curmudgeon staring me down, what do you think betwixt those eyes? I dare to stare back this time. “Are you having a good day, sir.” “No!” he says back just as fast....

Thankyou

The obnoxiously indifference of a turtle hair do in a queue is reprehensible really. It never fails to amaze how many swans can actually fit onto a conveyor belt and glide. Motionless static should never...

Why do we exist?
What’s the point really?
Are we here to have fun?
Are we here to accomplish something?
Are we here to hurt?
We are dropped off on one end of a conveyor belt then
chug along as the...

On wings of self-destruction she relishes the panic

	In the control room of the living

It was meant to be a family journey from heaven

	Everyone on board to enjoy the passage

Then she launches herself as a guided...

We’re rightfully concerned
It seems to be a dark dubious world
We’re bringing you into
Threatening and not so promising
How long can we shelter you from it all
You’re tiny not even able to crawl
A babe not yet in...

A permanent separation between
brows and crown; divorce still pending,
though ears have retained coverage rights,
and eyes - so blue they are brown – accents
to embellish emotional belief of baggage carried.

Spring pressured jaw that always seems to...

Crank up the innuendo spindle machine,
I predict an uptick 
in textile conjectural manufacturing
Tabloid logs of disparaging hardcore data
come rolling on a gossip conveyor belt 
Lies and self-promotion gets shaped
into a loose fitting, fabricated article
Woven for...

seems like ten
i had nine million thoughts of you
8,999,999,000 of them were daggers to my heart
the one thought that i held on to was recycled and turned into a message from God
it took me 3,650...

on auto pilot in slow motion
my conveyor belt keeps moving
on a creaky carousel 
aroused in boredom 
suspended in apathy

a jester on weary shoulders keeps mocking
teasing and picking at scabs

thorny wounds from too much baggage
have abandoned...

Sometimes I laugh other times I cry
As the Conveyor belt rolls on by

The poems that us poets write
Bright as day – dark as night

Trying hard to read them all
Sometimes I wish the belt would stall

HESITANT
Aye
and to sigh,
yet never goodbye...
our reluctance to say..
to close..to leave..
to part..to kiss
farewell;
weider-sehn ,perhaps
au-revoir..later..
see you..wave..then watch
'til we  turn away
and cannot see
no more...
Aye
and to sigh.
A SELF-CENTRED CREED
Life is never the same,
one moment to the next.The
day’s routine..eating,...
