Long Middleman Poems

I had a long argument today...
Whilst sitting by the 
surcharging charging airport port,
shouldertoshoulder with this pastor.

Delayed flight and low juice
kept us there, squared off;
shoulder to shoulder.

He with his Righteousness,
me with my Right View.
He with all...

Goodnight to our Rome with all your garrisons
and your streets that have become
as loveless as empty barracks.
For you I will never weep.
After all,
your Senators
Who made the deals
To keep the last
Last
And the first bored
and lost in...

Mandy, am I right in thinking you wear a brassiere.

We just call them bra’s, Paul, cuts out the middleman, and as you can see, yes.

Right, is there any chance I could borrow one of your...

Those who today loudly voice their complaints
   Might do well to study a people most quaint
The Jewish People for 3,332 years has survived
   Despite pogroms and holocausts, still quite alive

Simple Simon

Simple Simon the blessed pieman,
Woke up fresh as the day began,
Busy cooking, his wife named Anne,
Made his breakfast in a saucepan,

Enjoyed eating his plate of flan,
Simple Simon the...

Made in God’s image, we are living light
We affirm since we’ve been, seen and so known
We have seen God face to face, in plain sight
All was revealed when we chose to atone

Recognising the transience of...

In Birmingham I tried a scam,
involving some velvet and ham.
It appears I am damned.
Wound up in the slam.

I tried a hustle one night in Brussels.
But all I could rustle,
was just enough muscle,
to muster a bustle.

I...

Man was born to make things happen
the universe finally had enough 
After expanding and exploding for eons 
was time to get answers about some stuff
With no end in sight a resolution was needed 
as the...

Sins that I gave 
on behalf of a broken heart
I gave them to you
So they would tear you apart

Not intentionally
I didn't intend to fuel this fire
I couldn't care less
I've burned out of my desire

For me,...

Fall, fall, and fall again.
You want me to fall and break my bones.
All while I bleed and play your middleman.
Sticks and stones don't hurt my bones.

Darling, you're just a fool.
You think I'm as weak as...

Don't drag me into this fight
That your attitudes ignite
Every time you are together
Being apart would be better
So I'm not the middleman
Just on time you thin there can
Be a civil conversation
Without all the aggravation
That builds up...

"On the turn,

in the market !
I've heard .......

in some selected installments. ........
Some has filled with reasons.
Some has...

Faith, belief in the unknown,
Hope in the unfathomable
Reliance on the uncertain 
Fleeting blessing, sexy mercy
Sweet contempt, I hold you.


The missing line in the rows of 
corn
The implementation raven
The middleman hovering nigh 
and up
Oh knot tightener.


Why do...

The Rabbit lay dead on the highway,
All his Easter Eggs scattered and crushed.
His poor bunny ears were tattered and torn,
And his bunny brain squished into mush.

Not one person there would accept the blame,
they said it...

Protecting and strengthening as house poles
Arrangements made and broken
Neighbor's hair to be my token
Weekend is near and the hair is new
Neighbors gather to curl it as a crew
Shame is gone and...

we witness in dismay
the fall of many a sage
preying on those yet weak

when the false falls away 
why then do they love upstage
taking money from those who seek

the path is clear as day
silence in mind-body...
