Long Eyeballing Poems

The East Meets West Philosophy Association
had their annual 2020 conference in Rio,
when and where anything multiculturally lusty
is more likely to happen,
especially between sunset
and sunrise.

Coincidentally
and existentially
and phenomenologically
and ecologically
and ethologically
and epistemologically,
and astrologically,
and metaphorically,
it was necessarily
and sufficiently
and justly

Sauna Or Getting Cooked

Going viral, a video clip of a hairy burly Caucasian man in a white towel...
Approaches a steamed up glass door of a presumably hot sauna cubicle....
Opened the door, stepped in and flicked...

I am a disciple, a master in the art of tribal survival that is these streets.
In need of a money seed, to plant and grow a money tree.
Maybe then, I could get these police to...

Two men alone with their wounds,
following footpaths in the tall grass
so as not to be seen
by militia.

Stealing pumpkins from farmed fields
chewing on grass stems to ease hunger
Listening to the sound of frogs
And followed to water.

You better not scowl 
You better not be fowl 
You better not wine 
I’m telling you while 
Santa Claws is meowing around 

He snuggles you when you’re sleeping 
She purrs when you’re awake 
He sees...

Not even an answer

Not even an Answer,
Just one single hard lesson.
One that must have been watching me all day long. 
Waiting, there in the shadows
While I picked up rocks in the corrals,
or maybe when I...

Chet lived creepily in the back of the tavern, hidden. 
No one bothered him. He lived vicariously through the others.
The pretty barflies who flitted in chatting too loudly.
Flipping their hair. He had a salacious appetite,...

In the Movie
" lausia Seek Who Ah"

a Damesel in distress and her lover
are in a cave tied to the wall
with gold chaiins.
The woman loosenes herself
from the chains and stands
 before her lover. Before they
could speak...

 Just after my pears fall off the trees 
and leaves begin their turning,
evening fades to dusk in its anxiety
to welcome moon.

I sit outside and watch moon glow
arise from its sleeping nest.
The fresh scent of...

UNDERSTATEMENT

language
 confirms
the
 familiar
 even a weakness
angst
  melodrama
wonder

the
significant
  reciprocated
precisely


a
 modern echo
momentarily
a
slight
  foretaste
 vibrant
elegant
 twirling

rendered

an avatar
of
estrangement
in an
unmistakable
 panoply
of
glowing
visages
 eyeballing
sallow
 isolation &
 unsettling
 existence

animated

innocence

See them Iscariot eyes silver surfing,
filthy lucre foam
	is left in their wake

You best be watching them,
when they’re evil eyeballing you

Dirty money laundry days a-rising, 
grifter ink gloam ...
	palms on the last take

Grimy worst, the dullest...

A slobbering smile
A loving stare
A sofa, bed and floor
Covered in hair

A morning stroll
A paw in the air
Waiting for a tummy rub
A bear with a tear

Jumping in puddles
Biting at the rain
Itching their bum on twigs
Eyeballing Great...

SEAFOOD THAT MAKES ME FEEL GUILTY

Any  swimming thing  which boils or fries,
Like a codfish on shop icebed’s  amazed eyes, 
Open-mouthed  -   “Why me?” she sighs.
Crab in restaurant  tank...

The Cat sat glumly on the mat
Eyeballing his dinner dish
It was high time someone filled it
To the brim with his favourite fish

Things had been a bit slack
Lately his meals had been late
Treats were hidden from...

Eyeballing you as a
     sticky bun; pondering how
to reach out without
     getting stuck.

THE      UGLIES

He stood slouched and dirty and hopeless
She was desperately  cigaretteless
They were breedless but together
Uglified in a natural way altogether
Uglicity personified
Their mothers would be horrified

No homes, no money, just...

Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head
There’s a herd of rhinos eyeballing your bed!
But use caution, Brother, avert your eyes
That flamingo in the doorway is awfully shy

Good morning, Sister, I’d skip breakfast today
Or that moose...
