The Buzzard

Within the common (all purpose room)
     at highland manor apartments aye
daily encounter, one bewitchingly dreaded
     fiendishly horrible, jeeringly loopy,

     nap noopy, pugnaciously ravenous, talon
     viciously wizened, xenophobic yeti, zapping
     zeroing zillion zippers,
     zoned Zuckerman alley bye

barred doors fate helplessly jury-rigged
     sealed with with plaintive cry
no escape known to this man caught
     in a deadly voodoo clutch,

     thus doomed to die
ugly cannibalistic, frightful,
     heathen rumors myopic eyes espy
alarmed at feeling trapped

     akin to a wingless fly
tapping reserves of scape goat
     coping techniques ingenuity,
     which earned me moniker "fall guy"

where accursed cruel destined exit
     from getting husked, issued
     jagged lance like mandibles "hi
there unknown weekly reader", I

pray for super leftist
     write hand man/woman to extricate
     (via whipping up literary poetic fabrication),
     then joining me to sing jai

(let victory prevail against killer odds)
     perhaps summoning division
     of British shiver rights phalanx,
     hood reply with Hackneyed "oh kai"

springing surprise rescue,
     sans swooping inside
     this hermetically faux prison,
     where Matthew Scott Harris doth lie,
yet realistic to accept my
demise without putting up

     a good fight well nigh
but... if luck finds thee plucking this bard
     (out maws of death) be treated to custom
     ye will be rewarded with pie
ala mode enjoying a Quai
yet moment...yeah...fading hope...sigh!


Premium Member Sensorial Myopia

Speak if you must in wild card fling,
Each surge now shows how harsh pun cites;
Note crude blind trust as flashback springs,
Streaks of vain flow greet fragile bites;
Obsess the grain of hollow mood,
Rush of fire then swallows all;
Ignite the strain that burns dry wood,
Attest just when strange crackles call;
Life myopic is but a choice.
Meet vague etchings in fate most vain,
Yield dystopic worn jaded poise;
Old line sketching forfeits complaint,
Pique of pride swells an empty mind;
Ink stains now tell of heart most blind,
Apt flavours dwell in moments kind.

Rejoice At the Gift of Restored Health

Just a poetic (souper) side note courtesy chief
wordsmith brother unaware ye experienced grief
diagnosed as walking pneumonia please bull lief
yours me, he doth care and breathes sigh of relief.

Gratis the miracle of modern medicine wife
of Richard McGeehan, he offered succor
during serious bout when ye suffered strife
lovingly tendering lifelong counterpart
spelling finis regarding any galavanting nightlife
nurturing mother of their grown son (Brendan),
who immersed her whole self as housewife.

How aware ill luck of the draw
found thee inexplicably stricken
with serious malady against the law
nearly necessitating travois
(maneuvered by Kit Carson)
to transport thee to medical center.

The above stanza unbeknownst to you
analogous to current reading material
myopic eyes of mine view
historical fiction titled
"A Most Desperate Situation"
authored by Walter Cooper,
I just might maintain as keepsake
among various and sundry other books
lined up like soldiers upon shelved queue.

Courtesy perusing selective material
not so much to become boastful
self pedagogical ace,
but merely to expand knowledge base,
whereby latest erudition
preoccupies mindscape with displace
called realm of imagination
allowing, enabling, and providing me

to travel into hyperspace
only welcoming family members
like thee dear sister into myspace
a beloved sibling
thirteen plus months older
glad ye got begat December 1st, 1959
whereby ye got fifty two plus weeks headstart
to join (chance throw of genetic dice)
entrance into human race.

Though Amelie Beth Harris-McGeehan born
more than three score and three years ago
if series of unfortunate events would befall thee,
this sole brother would certainly mourn
and with futility emasculate and scorn
himself until... his own plaque
designating his buried cremains
in lieu of tombstone worn.

Now That You're Free

We could have been friends
but you chose to hate
The damage is done
and now it's too late

I can forgive
but I cannot forget
how you made me feel
such fear and regret

How could you believe
those lies you were told?
You gave me no chance
Your blood is so cold

You doubted my word
You painted me black
and launched from afar
a vicious attack

Your bandwagon ride
provides all the tools
to spread your destruction
with liars and fools

You don't even know me
and yet you conclude
that I am a monster
a madman unglued

This land is awash
with hatred and fear
foundations are shaky
our future unclear

And all this insanity
you helped to spread
are manifestations
of what's in your head

To reason you're blinded
To truth you're opposed
and no light can enter
a mind that is closed

You project onto others
from deep down inside
the ugliness in you
that you try to hide

Your actions, more flighty
than a great many birds,
make lies of your lofty
and high-minded words

You're quick to condemn
and fast to accuse
all the poor people
you carelessly use

to advance your agenda
with myopic sight
completely convinced
that you're in the right

And all of the while
you're failing to see
that you are the cause
of your own misery

And if you CAN see it
your pride is too great
to surrender your tantrum
of anger and hate

And so, in the end
when you look around
at all of the carnage
and blood on the ground

Take comfort in thinking
that your cause was just
though your only motives
were power and lust

How will you survive
in a world all your own
with no one to hate
so empty, alone?

No one to accuse
not one you can see
Just what is your purpose
now that you're free?

Cut To the Chase After Tan Hat Man

Cut to the chase after tan hat man!

Though reading horror stories 
gearing up as strawberry spring fest
full throttle danse (macabre),
an only every now and again predilection
genre crazy wave
washing over me like
a killer tsunami,
harboring pier rill less night surf
(subsequently fueling figurative
hair razing close shave 

critical desperation) to save
thine scrawny ****,
(a derriere laughing stock,
and hence cheeky of me to rave),
what you put
in a Margarita,
those rare occasions satiated, when
hung over insomnia heavily bulging,
rheumy myopic blood shot eyes
nonetheless lock into

vital opening sentence determining,
whether adroit kingly author
nimbly setting the stage and pave
ving what thenceforth, pro
misses tubby a cell out ace
in the hole captive audience
skeleton crew exhuming a grave
grim reaper they crave 
(me, this apt pupil), doth brace
himself by all counts once

a bad little kid deserving, well...now...
just a bag of bones,
who fiendishly cackles
analogous to screeching 
linkedin deafening banshee
when leaning in (Sheryl Sandberg like),
whereat after opening sentence, 
an instantaneous big bang
possessive gnarly hand
forcibly grabs my attention

presaging and frightening
yours truly (juiced in case
ye did not know),
where within the bazaar
of bad dreams epic,
which seems like forever,
when I finally erase
and exorcise the bogeyman who,
regally, masterfully, immediately,
dramatically got woven 

lady chattery teeth and all
withering wicked warp and woof
establishing (proof positive),
an excellently crafted
Chiral Mad heavily shades
of night are falling
gussying haunting place,
where the color of evil permeates
every cerebral space
with darkness, said

sub rosa prime evil punctuates
the mind of this dream catcher,
whence after four past midnight
the reaper's image appears
sending adrenaline rush,
surreal augmented moving pictures,
viz flight or fight 
courtesy third eye blind
did, when firestarter alarm didst grind
passage of time manifesting dark forces

blaze zing atavistic fear itself lined
up battleground formation
from the borderlands of my mind
this even before turning
the first page where the eyes
of drag'n my afterlife 
glowed with radiant shining
where suspense didst wind.

The Way

I'm happy to have found the way;
I'm joyful for it's born the day
In which all jubilation is mine
And its attached to the truest vine
This meek branch of a prospered womb;
And though they unnerve the beckons of the tomb,
It shall happen the Savior's will;
As was on the green and far away hill,
Where for the chief of sinners He died.
And all angels of doom heaved and sighed
For without appeal salvation had been born;
For the wretched and wrecked and torn!


I've found the sweet way
And its faithful tread must pay,
It depends not upon the crooked its great reward,
Nor should it be loved by the myopic of this world!

??v ?? ?? ?? ?  I Love You.............!! ?? v ?? ?? ?? ?

•.?*... ...*?.• •*.

these myopic ocular orbs pine 
   for an attractive gal to be adored
far eye got the near rest insight 
   per a magic bullet if jew r bored
undue flattering praises 

   might induce her 2 c come floored
perhaps without any family, friends, relatives...
   or if religious ye kin pray to da lord
unless ya r moored

den let dis senor you ken ease 
   (doll ling) any troubles 
   like egg nog gently poured
and unable to move, 
   or...mebbe trapped by 

   a white striped tiger who roared
cornered in a spit of jumbled 
   feeble woodland where 
   a retinue of wild animals stored
analogously tube he ying 
   closeted in a mental ward.

not that ye care one whit
boot ta many approximately 
   72.57 cheesy full moons ago   
when me younger days alive
i lived at pennfield manor 

where the stern rebuke from robin kratz
   faulted disgusting messiness
   and angered water bugs 
   who marched against getting evicted

(where spouse twas 
   one chaotic rabid follower of entropy
   and adherent of utter disorderliness
   if  such band name of aforementioned 
   the audience would wave meat cleavers 
   and as tokens of appreciation,

Upon Espying Aesthetically Pleasing Females

I admit tubby distracted by a modeling
female physique when attempting to write,
an aching agony rips thru this son,
gripping with hard on – tight -
by Dickens constricting sensation,

who orbited the sun LX times
coon sitters himself heterosexual male,
where slumbering testosterone forces unite,
no matter my libido feels
deadened, this despite

the above mentioned
asthma ordinary devoid sexual drive,
when these eyes (brown and myopic) sight
even just a picture
oven an attractive gal fanciful flight

evokes dormant longings
crashing thru concentration
without any invite
sparring dueling animal urge,
I know ain't right

since being married,
and all (witches nothing to celibate)
boot even if aye hapt tubby
dim witted with cerebral blight
prurient predilections, would

nonetheless prevail causing affright,
whereby the photographed lovely lady
dashes out like shuttered image,
though only so few inches in height,
would make a bee line into an

unreachable cubbyhole,
 not totally airtight
just enough breathing room
to await darkening hour of night
than with lightspeed akin to meteorite

off into the farther reaches with a blink quite
invisible this quasi
holographic like pseudo sprite
leaves yours truly in the lurch ignite
ting a supposed sexual propensity gone cold

nay, no can do, cuz 
untethered high as a kite
electrifying animal desire forced to bite
the dust, though thankfully concupiscent pang
ordinarily not the least bit aroused, aye attest

nope, not lascivious provocative
Barenaked Ladies can NOT excite
an older fellow, whose adolescent body
seethed with hormonal secretion,
and any pretty young thang did alight

a stick up between still skinny legs,
hence people watching
(particularly gals), a birthright
even migrant and/or
teenage mutant ninja turtle doth delight

tool hook, but NOT touch
most times an effortless fight,
yet every once in a while atavistic
pulsations, asper call 
of the wild bobwhite

overrides instagramming, snapchatting,
and twittering uber with such might
even erupting sexless interludes of eunuch
or "FAKE" shining knight

chess moonlighting also  as “FAKE” playwright,
hence if perchance a beauty catches me sight
lack of youth in your favor
from my penitent penile plight!

Hedged In

They are under the hedge, the elderly,
the silver whiskered. Threadbare possums,
frail chipmunks. The feeble,
squeezed into narrow parts of the day.

Her apartment is hedged in.
Her telephone is black, silent and Bakelite.

A groundhog comes out to gaze at the sunset,
some myopic sniffing, then shuffles back
with that stout rolling gait of his.

She forages in her living space.
From a window she blinks at the moon,
only yesterday it slipped from her purse.

Once she bought tickets, visited the young.
Once relatives parked new automobiles
under her sparkling windows.

They are settled, tucked into socks and pockets
seeking foods
unprepared for the present.

Paws hang soft.
Pills pend under bedroom lamps.

Some of them are under the hedgerow,
some unsnarl the threads of bundled quilts,
together they gum at a nub-end of twilight.

They will stay here knitting hours together
until the long forgetting finds them.

A Plethora of America Online Screen Names

(alternately titled:
why yours truly crafted six electronic aliases).

No rhyme nor reason beatle browed
beastie boy long ago
created INXS of half dozen
email addresses gallivanting
feigning himself a most sought after

singular modest beau
courtesy crass brazen duplicity
eventually forced to eat crow
campy bonehead devoured carrion
(blech) property extinct dodo.

Egregious discreet escapades
sneeze silly explains at chew
(albeit lamely) philandering,
foolish extramarital dalliances,
I now regret and genuinely eschew

interesting complete one hundred eighty
sobering perspective regarding grandview
emotional shell shocked fallout experienced
courtesy this wanderlust myopic
quite reformed practicing Jew
whose doubting thomas belief, credo, dogma...

closely aligned with Unitarianism milieu
dirty deeds done dirt cheap willingly crafted
previous poems offering adulterated preview
years after, the missus
got told deux gals I did hammer, nail and screw

at present juncture within space time continuum,
yours truly maintains critical view
bespeaking polygamous antics,
now reviled when garden variety
generic primate initially acted cagey
while going bananas within human zoo.

I sought amorous affections
(think verboten fruit) cuz marriage went askew
(daily altercations transpired
between me and the missus),

thus as iterated above
unhappy husband stealthily finagled bravado
(dreamt up one after another digital pseudonyms
blithely cavorting debauchery ejaculating

unsuspecting self incrimination) cyber sex debut
successfully launched prurient hitherto
novel short lived role as Casanova
starring me... Matthew

Scott Harris whose hubris
coursed thru mine every sinew
until... worst fate than being caught
by cannibalistic Zulu.
