Long Injects Poems

“Blue Angels, Black Sheep, Monitors and The House of Random Penguins” 

The womb
is scooped like 
an over ripe melon
Time is the incorrigible felon,
the forgotten lost garden explored 
overturned and raked, 
neatly messed, 
in more ways...

It must have been the darkest, deepest fate time create,
People saw and forgot the impact when history intervened. 
We forgive and endure, but our minds will not forget
The Bizarre world trying to suppress our African...

Blood, , urine, in order; perfume and sweat, pleasure combined
Visually impaired by smog and darkness
I can sense bodies; I can smell life and excess
The taste is overpowering and I gav
I'm quiet as a mouse, fearful,...

What's going on?
My bank just went broke again,
Once West Georgia Bank
Then Bank of Georgia
Now they try another spin
And go by Community Bank.

This just proves
Greed which goes unchecked
Will destroy any enterprise,
My local bank,
A local joke which...

Her face pops up on the screen and she stared directly at me looking into her dream and, as the verdict is read, she grips tightly to her symbolic bed. 

Her eyes were motionless, her...

What obstacle can there be between a boy and infinity?
Behind the old brick house, among countless fig and persimmon trees, 
next to the concrete cistern and under a beautiful bright summer sky, 
the boy was...

You’ve maddened me to the core 
You singed me with your ferocious fire
We’re opposites… we’ll never integrate  
We can’t blend with each other…
Your love and I’m hate 
We’re contrary to each other…

So don’t even...

A lab mouse grumbles: 
“I’m so frustrated! I don’t know why 
I have to be confined in this narrow path with high walls on both sides. I’m forced to lick food scraps I find on...

Oh world, all swollen with pain,
The opulent smell emits an almost harsh refrain.
Languor fills the air as the sun still hides.
Behind a shroud of clouds, where it softly abides.

Every surface is damp...

He fills his syringe with poisoned words
pulling the letters one by one from his rusted spoon
They rise up through the needle in perfect order
"Disgusting"  "failure" "worthless" "loser"
There in the cylinder they mix together
until they...

Buried once beneath pressing voices, it is boiling up like a rising jealousy. This is 
placement. The ascendant. Beating, 
beating, beating. A steady flow of analytical pauses burning up through every extremity you 
never knew...

I saw tomorrow beckoning us just ahead, and it looks so unlike today.
I saw neither evil nor deception blocking our view and standing in the way.

I saw no race, no creed, no bad seed or...

I wake from the monster 
coming home from his usual 
rage
Looks like he is drunk again, 
like an animal escaping from 
his cage
The pian in his eyes shows as 
he lines up his poison
He puts...

LET GO…you have nothing left to hold
Except this piece of gold
From my heart to yours…
The predator scores…
You’re lost and failure injects bad luck into you
And you’re ashamed of your sores…it’s true
Isn’t it? 
But that was...

Resolute and prepared, yet dubious and unsure
As my feet make their way to the sight they so adore
You brush your hair aside, as the twinkle in your eyes
A charming smile and subtle flush, greet me...

Stuck on a hybrid labyrinth race track in undue course

Crash helmet cracked under the raw tempo of stagnation

Chequered flags waving but a motor running against the clock

In reverse and the traffic prohibits pit stops for...

Soul surrender, each reach opaque, gathered incomplete gain; all willingly given for millisecond sight of sky as was eons ago, day guide towards monolith riseth ten thousand kilometers.  Crowned temple as arches multiply and...

We lean in, like a sculptured work in progress,
enigmatic scent to kiss,
when suddenly,
the three inch wide orange rubber bands around our wrists,
pulled behind our backs,
spring us away from each other
at supersonic speed.
Hair flying in front...

You are yesterday's dream, 
And my only seamless thought today,
Can you Imagine as I, imagining, 
To kiss your gentle lips
In a smooth evening across the east wind, 
Under the rays of the falling sun,
And if...

Spongy brown fingers quenched by gentle tide
Eerie boardwalk creaks near the white sandy beach*
Lapping crystal mix of silt risen rush
Injects me with lovely imaginings
Purrballs scooping milk with ridgy cupped tongues

I'm zebra confined, house stripes shade...

Eyes that cry in anguish, 
Uncertain and alone. 
Seeking some solution 
And searching for a home. 

When we used to play as kids, 
In contentment’s warm embrace, 
Was the smile I saw each day 
But...

She was a lady of the night,

doing her drugs seemed somehow to make it right.

Just a clothed piece of meat that was for sale,

how did she ever get entangled in this living Hell?


Another needle filled...

A whispering word is a whispering void cantering over airspace. Clear but unclear. Oh the sheer detectable ideology of the fungal worm. Chitter chatter consume. Consumption is the eruption. And like a fine wine to...

She's in the cut, with a different kind of fabric 
She earns minimum wage, but her Instagram is lavish 
Trust me I don't know how she keeps the balance 
Probably got a married man who injects cash in...

Wicked Queen, Her Darkness Hidden Behind Her Veil

Vacancy of high upper air, rarified ghosted hearts too.
Of frosted heathens in place, none are wearing mad hatter shoes.

Yet in her beauty she held this fast, mirror never...
