Long Dabs Poems

For ten months now I’ve brooded over coming second place
in the pickle section deeming, it no less than a disgrace.
It was written plain and simple, so there can be no excuse,
that the pickles in this...

i dont know why
just going through my life

sorry if bold

He sits quietly in the corner of the room
and dabs his face removing the blood that
still gently trickles down his cheek. Flinching 
from the pain he tries to be more careful.
He wants to ask but...

They called it school
I called it hell 
From the huge imposing prison like doors
To the doom like toll of the bell
Everyday the same
Running for the school bus
Full of uncivilized Wild kids
Being pushed and shoved
Countless kids...

"Nauseous"

Getting closer to Autumn
In deep thought near a marble column
Always doing things that lead me quickly into a coffin
Overlooked, abused and forgotten
Felt like I had zero in common
So I kept staying solemn
Because people are quick...

It's fact or not
From here to way beyond Camelot
I live it up and laugh a lot
Take off like an astronaut

Took one too many dabs and shots
Moving at the speed of a half knot
I started seeing...

SERENDIPITY

commercialized like dippity-do
— the extra hold hair gel.

sounds like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious*
so fresh; and clean —
a nonsense word used
when you have nothing else to say.

and let’s not forget serenity now**
yelled uncontrollably
when you need to calm down.

SUNRISE
  
I  rise from bed and open the window.
Stars of  Cassiopeia  and small aurora are still visible; 
Venus hangs  like a lantern in the  eastern  firmament -
Goddess ...

So quick to judge me and my life
Fast to stab in the back, causing damage by knife
Quick to turn it into fight time
It's pathetic, are they in their right mind?

Is it better to tell the...

Among the dirt and grass
Near and far from curving paths
It's proven, I don't need to determine that
Many once thought, the Earth was flat
People so quick to judge and be the first to laugh
Events happened slowly...

Pouring milk teeth onto a tea cup silence,

rasping over ceramic furroughs -

a harvest of unborn cries -

she shudders into the hollow of a throat 

she can’t escape.

She’s already shrouded, 

tapestries and bed-sheets and fences and...

“love is just passion that can turn.”
sometimes i wonder when people will tire of taking care of me. 
when my mother’s lilting sighs will lengthen as she dabs at my grape juice finger paintings splattered...

"Halo"

Always try to give me the run around
Like I'm such a clown
That should be stuck and drown
Then stay under the ground
I've just about
Had it up to here
My oh my
A lot of the time, I'm not...

Just a sample of who I am
Experienced hardship firsthand
Not a sham
They say never bite the hand
That feeds
Yet there is continual greed
Across the land
It's gotten out of hand

Never went according to what was planned
Feeling damned
And stuck...

In the twilight between waking and forever sleep
Her hand flies distractedly to the wild strands of gray 
As if to restore her perfect coif, or clutching a tissue 
Dabs delicately at her nose, oblivious to...

It's often obnoxious
Toxic and caustic, occasionally getting nauseous
Always careful or hardly ever cautious
Becoming a clan
Micro organisms quickly scram
Easy to see on cam
In the liquor I dove in it and swam
Drank way too many tall cans
Constantly...

As they fill me with that delicacy
Wetting my inside short of decency
Deeping their lips together with their tongues 
Warm lips,sweet lips  and pink tongues

Hot hands caressing my outer side

On the sidewalks of beautiful and opulent Waikiki,
in step with the wealth of nations,
a homeless society, lapping at the scraps, 
sleeping in doorways and beach park benches ,
amongst affluent foreigners,
under cover of shady scenic banyon...

Sometimes more is less – 
like, overworking a painting,
blurring the eye-feast with an
excess of dabs and strokes, a 
mix reminding me of too deeply 
breathed tokes; or a poem, with 
a vomit of words –...
