Down to Georgia my sister and I went,
We heard the weather was heaven sent;
bought a ranch house on three acres,
was in foreclosure, but had no takers;
For two years we worked very hard,
fixing the driveway and the large yard;
cut the pine trees, they kill all my grass,
put up a tower with a big bell of brass;
put up a greenhouse to grow my plants,
poisoned the yard to kill the fire ants;
then one day my sister became ill,
the doctor said, better draw up a will;
for three weeks, she just stayed in bed,
then one gloomy day she was dead;
now a Connecticut yankee stuck alone,
looking for a good women to bring home.
the causes i have lost
ever think the clouds
are hiding something
unfelt from birth
bounced around by atoms
grounded to beneath the ground
down
beaten like a beg
with no
rested pecs
Hero to nuns
ashamed suns
ending just befor
be
gin in a gin ring
unnoticedly unnotice a
bubble
dying from time
denying the seconds
out
round 2
this er keeps getting up
how
looking right threw me
with a listing lisping lips lubricate lusciously less
than naught
no's brought
the anti existent uneffisent to
cause a fuss
Spitting pity like leaded aero plain
as the knows on your face
ends of the human
race you to the bottom
Stop dare any God
stop my wor
nope no takers
ok demons djinns
here my jutting chin
Nope no one
you belittle me humanity
devolving so i dont belong
hope nature kills you
well thats your natural
state the truth
no fear for me
i dont believe the
now i put the instead of thee
what does the mean how many
dont know the meaning of simple words
watching love sold on revolving
on a crystal shelf
marked priceless
for all to bid on
and on this poem goes
but listen how the lines doth flow
almost hear the whispered wishes of a wave
forever breaking
a storms applause
or throw money
Hotel... in the Song
I listen to the radio,
it is turned way down low,
but it is all that I care to hear, anymore.
The TV in the other room,
is going all the time,
but that is just fine.
Father comes home late,
from nowhere he works at all.
Mother stays home staring at the walls.
I go to school, until I do not.
Then I am grown without...
a place to be, you see.
Now, we live in one room,
my parents and myself.
Sometimes I get to sleep on a bed,
and sometimes the floor.
It is better than the door,
and the unknown outside.
We had a real home once,
but it is gone for now,
I doubt I will ever see it come back.
Instead, we pay each night,
or once each week,
to be allowed a place
among the many.
There is no privacy,
and everyone is starving.
No one has any money at all.
There is no reason to go, anywhere...
but the stair, to stare at the lost people,
as they set up camp in the parking lot
across the road.
A preacher man he comes by twice,
once to give a note, and then to give his coat.
There were no takers for his words.
They would rather eat the continental breakfast,
provided by the establishment.
Broken people living in a rut.
I declare today
That my body is my body.
No government entity, private citizen,
Or business public or private
Has any rights
Or permission to use,
Abuse,
Regulate,
Deregulate,
Confiscate
Obliterate,
My body.
Law makers and religious shakers
I petition no takers.
My appendages are mine
I choose their destiny
I choose their function
Their purpose
I choose.
I enter no contract
I obay no edict
My flesh is mine
I enter in consensual unions
Without compromise
Without permission
From the state
From the clergy
From any finger pointer or tongue wager.
I declare today
From a starting point of now
Until my end
That my body is my body
I will defend my flesh
My growth
My every carbon
From those who wish to dominate
Regulate
Seek to enlist the state
I am not a part of any collective thought
Nor am I unionized by fear
That wilfully drives to steer
Anything that can be bought
By sanction, or divinity, or code.
I declare today, all days
That my body is not yours
No one shall limit
My abuse or use or purpose
I will not obey
I so declare today.

Gray days, cobweb clouds, skeleton trees through my frosty window
Cold coffee, a piece of half-eaten toast, butter puddles frozen in place
Cat rubbing against my bare legs, half listening to the TV-babble
Wanting to stay in bed all day, make the half-frozen clock hands speed up
A pillow for rent - no takers, a heart for rent - heart breakers need not apply
I follow the taxicab’s tracks in the snow – the one you took to the airport
They turn the corner, but my life moves ahead making its own tracks
One door closes, another opens, or so they say – I think I’ve lost the key
Sunny days, puffy clouds, trees blooming through my open window
Coffee brewing, strawberry jam filled toast, dog in lap waiting for morsels
Cat rubbing against my bare legs, love songs filling the room
Leaping from bed, a new happy day, clock hands keeping time to my heart
I follow the tracks in the hallway runner to the kitchen to find you waiting
My permanent pillow renter, my heart taker, my forever lover
One door closed, another opened – and I threw the key away!
The water was
dark and brown,
two turtles rested on a nearby log
soaking in the sun.
A large grey heron swooped lazily down
landing effortlessly
while looking around for a tasty morsel treat.
Overhead a squawking jay served as sentinel
to warn of my intrusion into its domain.
All I wanted was to sit and dip a line
into the cool brown pool.
Perhaps an unsuspecting fish would seek
the dangling worm on the end of my line.
Even if there were no takers
I wouldn't mind.
It just was a chance to visit
the calm and quiet of that dark and cool
pool as it just drifted by.
Thoughts of nothingness clouded an
otherwise empty mind.
It was just a lazy day,
warm and friendly sitting by that
dark and brown pool
with a drifting line.
Cares drifted away
like the white fluffy clouds high above.
So why spoil a beautiful day.
On the flower petals of the blooming faces,
flutter the patina of chromatic luscious lips,
gracefully painted with alluring shades of lipstick,
the attraction amplified by the dazzling smile.
In the women’s winsome world of enticement
many things stay tediously the same unalterable,
but the colors of the lips is an option of change,
they all strive to try in various charming hues.
Realizing it’s a large fashion market worldwide,
I set up a modest factory rolling out array of lipsticks,
not competing with the products of L’Oreal or the like,
my business started booming, soaring to new heights.
But then comes the virulent corona virus from the blue,
making lipsticks for the masked lips rather redundant.
No takers, I have to close down my factory where now
I am making mask to survive in these difficult times.

Love is a joke. A joke that is found funny by everyone but me. I would say that I am unlucky in love but I am so often told luck does not exist, so therefore I must conclude that love is just not for me. Never shall I find a kindred who harbers the same emotions as me, never will I have that which I give. Only pain, hurt, ignored shall I receive. I have such a hole in my heart I have tried to let others fill but no takers have sincerely tried and never shall it be. Much to give I do, but none interested or want to receive. So alone in this hollow world I shall ever be. Draped in my sorrow for the tenderness that shall never be mine, but forever grateful for those that have accepted a pitiful soul like mine to exist in their bright and beautiful world I will forever be.

Bus stop sensations
Where's the bus?
Tardy connection
~~~~~~~~~
Old contact hearsay
Not much to say;
Silent confrontation
~~~~~~~~~
Frangipani sunrise
Pink, yellow, white --
Magical moments
~~~~~~~~~
Smoky stray wind
Grim echoes;
Stale air descends
~~~~~~~~~
Shoppes in decline
Ancient wares loiter;
No takers
~~~~~~~~~
Evening settles
Noisy commotions fade;
Mahjong excavations!
~~~~~~~~~
By this old quay
Modern face lifts greet;
New watering hole
~~~~~~~~~
New dreams stacked
On old faded sites;
Cool revolution
~~~~~~~~~
Play school toddlers
Exchange play things;
Rude awakenings
