Gone and Hopefully Permanently ForgottenBy Stanley Collymore
Never speak ill of the dead we’re constantly and solemnly
exhorted regardless of who they are or the life that

Regressive ProgressIn Shaker Heights, Ohio,
founding fathers co-invested in:

by unexpected weather transitions,

on a highly complex day,
despite feeble farming
in narrowing spaces
between floods and famine,
Despite...

Arduous JourneyTwo hundred and forty seconds or more,
Laying, fetal position in Mother’s fluids,

Foreshadowing his existence.
Birthed, alone
Taken from one home of solitude to
One of solitary confinement.
To us, a tragedy, to him; life.

The Ladies RoomCloistered within the restroom stall
eavesdropping on my peers
soft whispers echo off tiled walls
revealing secrets, hidden tears
Somehow this restroom has become
a sordid confessional booth
a place of refuge, safe for some
to air their inner truth
Co-workers cluster, confiding...

It's a patriarchal practice built from sadism and male strife,
A hedonistic ritual to keep us all under control,
The birthright of masculinity bestowed upon all men young...
