Long Cornering Poems

A boy and board in Brooklyn

the chessmen championed his ego
wickedly warring to a visionary's voodoo,
those soldiers of black and...

Propoganda corners your mind
look at me squeaky clean
look at them
one at a time

Ache—
Let it sink
Deep
 
With quiet and unfathomable rage, every word shown
Black ink, black intent,
Yeah, she was done


The black nail polish on her nails chipping
Stupid, cheap crap…

The color black burned through her soul, 
Giving her slight...

experiences
with an odd mixture of shame,
humor & wonder,

Why?
For I choose to not be blinded;
I pass pretences,
the periphery of parameters of People and Life
and the Illusions we wrap ourselves in.

enemies among friends
violence never ends
find a familar enemy far away to blame together
for the reasons we have become destitute this way

whole societies blamed for the actions of one
paranoias manipulated
this is not rational thinking

On stocks overhanging
A trembling lower lip the
Impression of permanent snivel
Impeding would-be normal childish speech

It will ooze,
and pour out and
devour wherever you...

sticky alcoholic stew

But it dupes him sans any heed
