Randomling 1: Matthew Macfadyen
I believe I'm in love with Matthew Macfadyen
He inspires in me a terribly bad yen
But as poetry goes
His name 'spires woes
Cause nothing rhymes with "Macfadyen”.

Although I was married and lived hours away with a family of my own.

The Paradiddle of Being - Book Two: The Becoming
VI.
We are all metric modulations
of our former selves—changing time signatures
mid-measure, learning to count
in odd meters when life refuses
to conform to 4/4 expectations
finding beauty in 7/8 existence—
the off-kilter cadence
of becoming.
The teenager tattoos pain across her skin
in...

A Grand American Tradition
Voting day at long last has arrived.
Scrambling through closet,
a cavernous space in accumulation.
In the deepest darkest corner,
purpose achieved,
garnering my three by five inch American flag,
glorious yet demure.
This my opportunity to come out of...

I Am Not Your Daughter
I am not your daughter
I will wear pink and red together
Just because they don’t match
I will dye my hair black
Not only just because you said not to
But because I know I’m not a blonde...

Final Reckoning
3/23/21
On a decline or on the rise
Food left out, quickly will oxidize
Experienced a lot of negative, but am putting out positive vibes
When needed, turning into Optimus Prime
Even during Ominous times
Others so quick to drop a...

The House That Jack Built 1
The House That Jack Built (Part 1)
Fatigued from years of gleaning storms of snow, sleet, and rain,
I was yet an innocent and therefore unashamed.
Her smothered walls creaked and her shingled roof leaked,
The...

Assuming we Survive
Bricks through windshields,
Darts through hanging pictures of me
And cracks in the photos, framed on the shelf
But they're not there physically
My trust makes a run for the hills

Consequence of a Certain Demise
I.
One week to the day,
His beloved was taken away.
Within the confines of their edifice
He told himself, I can’t go on like this.
Numbly, at his sides, he clenched his fists;
While contemplating, at that very moment,...

The Worst of Midnight Snacks
In the middle of the night
With sleep still in my eyes
I stepped into my kitchen
And received quite a surprise
As I reached out my hand
And flicked the light on
There were balloons, confetti, party...

Always toking strong
A continual breeze blowing on
Meanwhile a lot kept going wrong
Over petty things they were so fond
Forming such a close bond
Among all these neutrons and protons
A lot done in a week
Answers found where rivers...

Way Out Over Copland's Appalachian Springs
We dragged the slopes to our feet.
On the summit, we burnt our clothes
for wood and there shuffled our feet
in the hush of the falling snow.
We had come out of the scuffed grass.

Welcome To City Estate
Somewhere in the dungeon of my soul
was a memory I supressed,

reignited the place and time long forgot.
And I remember leaving the cocoon we called home
I remember moving...

made a miniature Model T Ford

He could cradle it in his palm
the size of a small teapot,
half globe used like...
