Long Geyser Poems

Hark and listen well, if those foretoken in the eyes of hungers lust
Trapped in their illusion, trampling the Stars into dust
Forced with the detestation stench by the swamp of absolute disgust
Thou blackest scorpion be accursed,...

Twice told toilet tale – a cheeky execrable gross fable

which poetic product best be affixed

and one precocious lad to boot,
I discovered common combustible materials
found in the bathroom.

Born shackled with globe sized
yoked millstone around my neck
rivaling the world Atlas shrugged,
or outsize boulder Sisyphus

eternally obliged to toil uphill
steepest mountain side
in concert with
Battlestar Galactica pièce de résistance
ear splitting discordant cacophonous din.

Simultaneously analogous twin tower

Here let me paint you a drawing
My skin crawling
Something stirring and calling
As the leaves begin falling
It's appalling
That people are always squabbling
And gossiping
Yet another mauling
It's no longer enthralling
The temperature of the water freezing or scalding
People aging,...

I gently beckon inspiration
for dalliance with mother tongue
English Language, each

"
I have memories of this place.
I made friends.
I made enemies.
I lived within the walls of this block.
In the corridor.
In the bathroom.

When I leave, I'll leave my mark.
On the walls.
On the doors.
My name, my message, with...
