Long Embarrasses Poems

Monkey chant and fake fraternity front
Brandished on the grand soccer stage
Rush Russian bear invectives to decant
Insanity and indignity rolled into ribald rage.

In the bus looked at me
His bare face, a rough feeling worn

No fame and yet able to alter the way we live
Once it comes, it demeans, embarrasses and mutilate
And we do cry all day,...

When someone like me, embarrasses folk like me
We must have courage, choose the better remedy

She was the cat who would be queen
She practiced her royal curtsy every day
I tried not to be unkind or mean
