Long Hairballs Poems

What lies behind that grimacing catty coy smile, it’s upside down
Thinking perplexes me mentally, topsy-turvy confusions beastly
Kitty, popping off riddles to confound all humanity’s realistic
Way of thinking!
 Swishing his feline tail with utter cat flatting...

she asked me why I chose her
as we lay beside by the ocean
foggy from disembarking daybreak
sat up befuddled as she kissed me

if you're real lucky, they'll come your way

they know your voice, your sounds,
when they're, not the only kitty around

they love to eat, groom, to play,
their favorite pastime, find...

It’s almost 3:00 AM
and I’m still scrolling down my newsfeed
bored to death and moody
sick of laughing at the same jokes
unable 
to appreciate anything, everything sucks
too tired and too lazy, can’t do much
chat is off, not...

For turning my eyes into shallow Pacific blues,
because nobody likes Chocolate. 

For transforming the freckled clusterbomb on my face,
into baby skin smoothness!

and I refuse to allow my self-confidence to...

Uneasy and queasy cos my TV set
Is showing another celebrity vet
My legs are crossed tight, just as tight as they get
Has that little dog lost his testicles yet

[The Candyman]

Who can take a hairball?
Blame it on the cat
Flush it down the tank
And you laugh a lot for that

It’s the handyman

I brush for fifteen minutes my kitty,
as she growls, wiggles and struggles and swats;
all I want to do is make her pretty,
I just need to get rid of a few knots.

Oh, all that shedding,...

I brush my cat for five minutes daily,
But she just wiggles and struggles and swats;
All I want is to enhance her beauty,
All I need is to get rid of those knots.

Oh darn the shedding, mating...

after months
many moons
taking to my
hairbrush

pulling out
the hair that
my brush had 
pulled out

from my head
and beard but
what to do
with it as it

seems a waste
to throw away
so pondering
thoughts thinking

recycle

so first i tried
to be a cat and
swallow then

Time is vertical in motels,
it travels red-eyed in elevators.
It’s an out of sequence conversation
you have with an ice bucket.
Barefoot hours drop their hairballs into air-ducts,
spindrifts of sweat drift unfiltered.

Morning lifts ears first,
they open eyes in...
