Approximately Three Plus Days Elapsed
Approximately three plus days elapsed...
without yours truly experiencing urge to defecate
Neither bloating nor constipation

ingested three Dulcolax tablets

Lovingly lauded.. they marauded.. rightly applauded
Saffa gaffers did thrill
Willow wielding wizards of Oz

Yearning of Temba Bavuma
Kept his sense of humour
Despite being the victim of flimsy...

Traumatizing Wrenching Psychological Vicissitudes
Affliction with comprehension,
now plain as day
predisposition to experience

posits me to suspect mental
deficiency within gray

academic track record lay
in abyssal ruins, and

Alas Ample Alliteration Available
Alas ample alliteration available?!
True (terrific) title: Trump's truckling tutored troopers...;
wily word wizard worried,
where world wide web wickedly wends.
Triumphantly tenaciously (try to) trample treacly
traffickers target timid testifiers traducing,
their traitorous tractable toxic troglodyte:
today transition toward
totalitarianism tidily trends.

Tory Envy
I wish I was a Tory,
It would be another story,
So much simpler not to care
Or have to be aware
Of how other folks must strive
To make a crust to stay alive.
I could keep my privileged indifference
Surrounded...

Hundreds of helpless patrons shocked and awed
An eon of murderous rage until

City Jump
Black girls mollycoddle,
dandle cranky babies;
some cradled on arm and hip,
some hustled along
on low-riding wheels.
Brown men lounge outside bodega’s,
some soft-soap, play imaginary guitars,
some flash smiles at the slackening sun,
dare it to glitz elsewhere.
White girls sit on...

Beside Myself
Jumbled and distractedly jarred,
I awoke beside myself like a wraith,
a spectator to my primal confusion,
hamstrung by the goddess Chaos,
psychotic and frightfully broken.
Drifting through scrambled shrapnel,
a witness to my scrappy scrabble salads
chasing my fleeting thoughts.
I was...

Whom Do We Trust

Facing days that become gloomy, often despairing.
We only check our compass for direction of travel,
When it appears that life is just...

The reflex of ego is to go toe to toe with evil
the more mental bloodshed the better...
But ego is a sloppy plodder with ill-conceived plans.

It was a strong opponent,
it fought against us very well.
Many of us were slaughtered
before it finally went down.
Again and again it tried to run,
but we chased it down each time.
We will never give up the...
