Avid Bookworms On the Loose

The American Library Association
      implores cognoscenti tubby alert
impersonators, who
     call themselves Ernie and Bert

     took a page from Sesame Street Playbook
oft times accompanied
     by a Soundcloud of dirt,
boot none other then Pigpen,

     (who worked for Peanuts),
     and pay-dirt, though
     dismissed, cuz he did not exert
true grit, plus more seriously scandalous

     sordid details suppressed kept from press,
     (which scurrilous breach of conduct
     involved said scallywag
     violating more than flirt

discovered in prurient compromised activity,
     where his skin flute encircled,
     with an ambrosia girt
transgressions possibly affected

     public television station benefactors,
     and sterling reputation of bottom line, nor hurt
locker talk (albeit via exaggerated mainly 
     to make a profit sounding proper

     sanctimonious Cliff (hanging) notes,
     asper faux expected by
     a "FAKE" trumping prophet,
     sans motley crue comic
     stripped of more'n
     motion picture PG ratings,

hence future lurid, graphic,
     banal, ampersand
(&) dressing room banter
     muted, disallowed, and banned

so storied characters birthed by Charles Shulz,
     (who passed away prior to near canned
aforementioned indiscretion debacle)
     returning amidst fanfare hoopla

     much as possible grand
jour "Making Peanuts Great Again" hand
diddly restoring full metal paperback jacketed
     glory and apple pie order land

ding rebirth of cherished popular iconic
     easy to digest bookworm feed
which unexpectedly, inadvertently,
     and horrifyingly

     brewed ferocious breed
on par with the Alaskan Bull Worm,
     whereat armed guards
     strategically stationed

     at libraries entrances indeed
aware voracious young readers,
     would pay no heed
to any obstacle, and such unstoppable

     ravishing knowledge
     hungry kids did exceed
capacity security details dashed away,
     faster then Clifford
     the big red dog speed!

whose cashiered spigot flows

Premium Member Liquid Shelter

I toss fire down your throat
pour you your bullet, goblet to gullet

glass-jacketed explosions 
line my wall like church organ flues
ablution for absolution from desperation 
libation-liberations for exaggerated exhilarations
bottled fevers for believers

kneel your mind
choose your raptures

you’ve come to my altar
now your blood I’ll alter

shaken, stirred, swirled, singed with little bonfires
as potent a potion as you like
each percent speeds your ascent or descent 
your thirst it’ll wet and abet

I have spirits to lift yours 
a cure in every liqueur
bubbly for the lively 
painkillers for loners

oh, I’ll hear your confessions too
earshot with your liquor shot, on the house
no judgement nor penance 
just a warped sense of time to let you unparch your soul 
salvage the day
and get ready to face the next one

I’m your friendly mercenary-priest 
enforcing a restraining order against reality

one more?

Lesson Learned

I learned to let people have a convo 
With their self, on the road to riches so to speak leave em alone in their own vault, our with their own thoughts so when things crumble before them it can be their own fault. There's an art form to communicate efficiently that most people over 25 still haven't learned evidently. Don't mind me I'm just calling it how I see it, seeing is believing and best believe I seen it so I believe it, but everything isn't what it seems so I guess I too have been deceived. 

I learned most of what I learned was a misconception, I know now in amerikkka an educated black man is a deadly weapon and not many have been able to withstand the recoil of that hammer, the truth is a hard pill to swallow especially because in that chamber it's filled with jacketed hallows...

Premium Member Gold Nugget

Gold- looks like drops of yellow sunshine,
         that mesmerize the eye.
Gold- sounds like high healed celebrities,
         tinkling down a red carpet.
Gold- smells of money and power,
         mingled with the odor of white diamonds.
Gold- tastes metallic, yet unlike brass,
         doesn’t linger on the tongue.
Gold- feels smooth and cool to the touch,
         not as unyielding as bronze.


A gold nugget looks like a pebble of sunshine,
jacketed in the purest yellow.
And resonates with the accompanying subtle sounds,
of emeralds and blood red rubies.
A symbol of wealth, a gold nugget smells of success,
and is as indulgent as the finest white wine.
Without the tangy taste of brass,
gold feels as tactile as bronze, 
with the added resplendent glitter of gilt.

Three truant scholars spending our sabbaticals
in crisp Colorado, we all re-read Walden,
dared to drink from streams so icy clear
the fish seemed suspended in mid-air.
Our flimsy nylon shelters shielded us
from what weather there was to worry on,
as summer slipped to autumn 
and autumn waned winterward.
Four full years past we trekked those trails
through stands of timber frequented by fox,
by birds, by deer -- and by growling grizzlies.
We walked well-wooded hillsides
of mixed conifers and broadleaf.
In deep drafts we breathed the earthy air.
Now, when my son hugs his honey bear,
red-jacketed, black-button eyed,
I see the hellish maw, the bloodied claw,
of the darkish-brown raging beast
that tore off my arm and maimed
two sages, amid the yellow quaking aspen
where, yet, that gory grizzly ages.

Premium Member Sick Humour

Living death ,hotel for hypochondriacs?
Where there are rarely empty beds
But some bodies may soon be.
Bright curtains are there for all
To screen their shame and pain,
Though the final curtain will surely
On some soon fall..

Blue-jacketed staff breezily
Glide about their tasks 
Smoothly and swiftly
Until becalmed by a lull
At the nursing station
Before a maelstrom erupts.

Suddenly a sour smell wrinkles noses
 And the team sweeps into action.
Soothing and rancourless,
"You're a terrible man!"we hear them say
As they set about erasing
The evidence of soiled humanity.

Yet we see their neurosis 
Over death-defiling bugs
In the continued wiping 
Of bed rails and curtains of grime
And then there is peace 
In our time.

There will be other flurries,
Punctuating regular routine
But, respite gained,they relax.
A question about the time ,
Is met with,"Ten past s***e!"
Cathartic laughter refreshes 
Them for the long ,long night .

Lined In Discipline

Regalia awakens upon nightfall 
Roused within rules proudly signified
Routine of midnight procedural
Robe wearer draped solemn dignified


Voracious moon grey devil face
Oak double doors crosses engraved
Vestibule commands reverence
Flung open so mortals can be saved


Behaviour carefully monitored
Moonshine in aisle to alter pointing
Father's guidance Penultimate 
Spotlight slides jacketed anointing 


Pulpit a pillar of scripture's page
Builds focus for lamp stuck fly byers 
Formality chapters archaic sage
Impales twisted gargoyles on spires


Stitched into sleeves invisibly
Satin lining sheen hot cardinal flame
Shape of garment disciplining
Secure bounds by pockets contained

Premium Member Under the Dreadlocked Trees

His hair is alive,  
serpents writhing, a man Medusa of the tropics, 
as if he wore the demons 
of colonialism and injustice on his head, 
unforgetting,
a dung-brown-and-black hologram of 
the ganja-fueled reveries inside, 
the broken record of fight and redemption in his ears 
masked by an ancient face, all taut leather, 
placid with a sheen of absorbed light. 

Bloodshot eyes, not insomniac,  
but from the weight of things that, once seen,
cannot be unseen, 
scleras color-coding history, 
the blood of dead slaves on white.  

Yet the heat-chilled island calls a daily truce.   
In the shade of the commodious palm tree, 
the bleach of sun cordoned by a shower of shadows,   
even the gluttony of Babylon 
and the promise of Zion can share a siesta. 

Looking out to the silvering sea beyond the beach, 
exchanging a patois-scented greeting 
with two passing brethren whose hair hang like roots,
he puts fire to a fat, white-jacketed spliff, 
herb smoke curling up, 
rising,
rising,
a slow exodus up into the dusty fronds above, 
hung with the fruits 
of a tender mantra as, 
ever,
the spirit of Marley 
sings.

Autumn Equinox 2018

I riff flecked about thee august
     Autumn Equinox 2018,
     this polymath learned why,
September Equinox
     will be at 9:54 PM,
     which spoiler alert thy
learned (courtesy Google),
     when Or Sun Wells

     crosses celestial equator
     i.e. (imaginary line in sky
above Earth's Equator
     from north to south), a quiet rye
hit moment occurs
     Saturday September 22nd, 2018
     (at 9:54 PM Eastern
     Time) marks onset

     of apple cider
     and pumpkin pie
a distinct golden jacketed
     matted palette well nigh
paints arboreal swath, sans
     quiet riot of brilliant
     color, that doth belie
rampant terrestrial, unreal,

     and venal degradation aye
temporarily turning a (third)
     blind eye apathetically, blithely,
     and conveniently shunting aside
eyesore fissured gash - wide
cleft wound, where hide
ding away from
     global abuse decried

as feeble effort
     ignoring doth decide
fate i.e. as does wrecking,
     where precious resources espied
snubbing, and thumbing nose
     (figuratively) asper dead
     serious portentous desperate
     (falling on deaf ears) plea chide

dismissively mocking (bird
     den some) prophesying,
     whence creator cried
alarming, blaring, and clanging
     sounding Doomsday Clock,
     where ambivalence unheeded
     scathing tragic miss guide
did exploitative testament,

     where survival of fittest tried
to the max, viz (courtesy
     of *****sapiens)
     as Mother Nature dost allied
flora and fauna espied
     comprising vibrant biosphere
     each betrothed nsync, and guide
ding generic hominids shrugging

     (Atlas sized fountain head) 
     off beholden hide
bound wedded bliss
     to the other,
     this observer awestruck,
     sans whirled, wide webbed biota
     adorns terra firmae analogous,
     qua expectant wedded bride

named Gaia – resplendent
     raiment adorned playfully chide,
when (dark and Stormy Dan
yells) Armageddon 
     legatee - time ran
out for *****sapiens meaning...

     salvation to late for human
knit tee, cuz field day, sans
     grim reaper will
     glory in field day
whar cross bones
     numb skull pay fealty.
