Long Inoperable Poems

Science can’t save you, neither can religion,
at least Popper and Niebuhr, philosophers and poets,
are entertainers, which is why actors and athletes
are paid so much. Thanks for the summaries.
I was teaching Shakespeare’s 92nd ridiculous sonnet

My mom was a strong woman, and stubborn too,
Yet she had a soft side, between me and you.

But let me tell you, she was well respected.

Mom was...

Affliction fiercely force foreigners out of the nation ..
Citizen set sight to the sovereign one above..
The ones on earth becomes earthworms eating our happiness and paying it with extreme hardship..
Their heart is ganished with fallacy..

A train door closes packed with passengers.

Destinations being most different than others.

Typical light touches, embarrassing rubbing,
Lastly, the ever so bothersome nudging.

Unfinished conversations, from platform
Carries on within the overcrowded train.

Yapping and gabbing, defined as gossiping,
Amidst disgruntled...

Most of my life
my left shoulder sheltered it
while my right shoulder threw darts its way.
Sometimes it shivered in the cold of my eyes.

Often I would take it for night-walks
just the body it dwelt in
a restless...

For once this is not fiction

Can you change the past?
I yearn to,
But on condition I carry with me
All that I have learned.
But you cannot change the past.

Still, I yearn for a bottle 
Of chilled white...

You thought you had a hold on me?
You thought right, you did have a hold on me
You thought letting you go would break me?
You thought right, it did break me
You made me miserable
It was always...

And I walk
across numerical figments
speaking hyperbole dialect to their imaginations.

Numb, blocky gaps
whisper invitation to secret club.

Enticing my stature
to belong
to become exponent’s side-kick.

So they can welcome me with open arms.

Coating my digits with inoperable tumors
double-knotted in...

Mesmerized by phantasmagorical flames 
brandishing cerise, fuchsia
and crimson-colored
tongues of fire;
I marvel at the beauty of the beast. 
I see the chard smoldering underbelly
of the flames, cloaked
in bellowing blankets of thick smoke;
its flames lapping at the...

As our love grew you became my everything 
We were inseparable and all was...

there is this vendor on the corner
where the girl with the inoperable brain tumor used to sit
she loved to tell her stories about the characters in the room of her mind
she would read to the...

O Sweet poem 
Wielder of undisclosed tales
Conqueror of unyielding hearts
Comforter of inoperable minds
Consoler of inconsolable souls
Utterer of the most unutterable dictions,
You have kept secrets for poets
In the deepest corners of your heart
I implore you, 
Keep...

Take care of yesterday 
Packed in suitcases
As brick by brick 
Simultaneously the world rises and falls 
I'm all unpacked
Picking over bits 
Locks unpicked 
Heaviness stripped out
As comparison drives a devil through 
Screeching incomprehensible sentences ending...

It’s only a Guinea pig, people eat them,
the cattle don’t complain.
Peruvian mountain folk do not have to starve,
there’s no dearth.
Many are bred for their special coats of course:
the Slinky, the Peruvian, the Abyssinian,
the American; the...

How should I describe this empty?
So that you may wake from this slumber
With my words, 
As some magic kiss. 
It is far more deep, and tender 
then any other wound.
You
Who had stretched tenderness,
The ability to...

the sun plays hide and seek with the clouds
sometimes it shines with full brightness then
like a lightbulb that has expired
loses it's brilliance...
insects,create their own brand of music

all around is quiteness-
you can even hear your own...

It is said that when you pass,
if but one person remembers you
then you will live two lives; one in the hereafter,
and the other in a rented mind,
but when you are totally forgotten,
what then?

Perhaps someone will...
