Long Interjecting Poems

“Strange Ways, Here We Come”




the devil’s advocate
came waltzing 
through my doors

“I had no choice”
the supercilious harbinger said,
“to intervene, to parlay away

something 
not 
mine

now 
you're 
doing time 

not the criminal recidivist
nor usurping interloper
and their profound lies

The sun shines through my window though dulled somewhat by a glossy barrier. A barrier of slight ocean blue meant to bring a coolness to this room. A coolness and a sense of privacy. Privacy...

Don't you love me anymore,
is it the way I look...
On the inside, I still read the same
even though, there's a different cover on my book.


Have I really changed that much,
more then you can stand

After wishing upon a star
to garner a handsome windfall
as a positive fated birthday gift
lo and behold, these ears didn't deceive me,
cuz I discerned a partial telephone message
hinting at word winnings to good to...

People never seem to listen to what i have to say
Just brush it off their shoulder interrupting all the way      
In a disagreement everyone is guilty of pride
You say what...

they come to you
as if honey-glazed & tip-toeing on
lilac petals

always smiling
always politely congratulating
for acts that anyone could really
do

squeaky clean with
sparkling white teeth that outshine
those found on toothpaste 
commercials

always agreeing with you
always going out of their...

A fried chicken burp can be akin to gargling a pear juice by a slip stream. But do not slip. Or wave with both hands whilst drinking. Dangerous deadly dares derive during demonic demonstrations. And...

An annual muster   
Of black and yellow honey-eaters 
Chattering and tweeting 
Brought in the dawn this morning 
Against the backdrop 
Of a grey wet blanket sky lightly sun lit 
Heavy with the promise...

Whispers through the tea leafs
burning strong 
mellow moments hanging
out on the tip of temptation
strung along

found with the inhibitions
down yonder
where the long grass grows
where we missed  
opportunities and sensitivities

to be kissed

moist mist mingles
electricity tingles
human touch not enough
where...

She won’t appreciate it. Don’t tell her.
But what if she is grateful.
Don’t be silly.
Some people might want me to tell them.
Not her. You know her.

I do not know her well, but my naysayer is in...

Places were information crowds ear.
Places were eyes sights situation.
In the ‘bar,’ mouths runs over tongues.
A mixture of false and facts.
A mixture of hot and cool.

Some stumble to the ‘bar’,
some rumbles in the ‘bar’,
coming home in...

Laying here upon the 
damp grass
Looking about at the 
cattails
On a breeze the weeping 
willow 
trees musky sweet,
spicey smells

Silver threads weave through 
the nights skies 
while reflecting
off the turquoise colored
lake with misquotes
buzz interjecting

The moon a...
