From ISIS to J HORE totally 
unafraid of the JIHAD domestic 
threat arriving to end my

accompanying Rasta yago 
waving a 9MM driving a 
Tahoe parked next to her

Roaring Twenties

Nostalgia and age like bacon and eggs,
With buttered toast and jam on the side for breakfast;
And coffee, and a glass of orange juice to drink,
And a memory in-between to rethink.

The day begins with boring...

Cenotaph Memories

And silence fell around the stone buildings,
As thousands gathered to remember
And some to forget, friends and family lost,
No longer there to support,
Every heartbeat, a tear through time,
Every tear drop, a rip across the universe,
And...

thinking I’d buy a few items for the summer

she hadn’t realizedshe was asleep.

And she walks in, past all the mangled bodies,
not bothering to swat the flies away
Just hoping they...

Behold her in her passion
Could someone tell me who she is?
A woman from the east Pride of Barbados sent to entice men.
a Woman in her prime with a beautiful body.
So beautiful like the morning glory.

'Twas 
bit
of a joke
for most
of the folk
that had
rallied round
the town
'twas
the first
I heard
a bit absurd
so I
went and
asked around
'twas
up the
hill and
down again
until
I found
my friend
'twas
then I
learned
he too
not heard
what rallied
round the town
'twas 
curious
tad furious
that
neither
him nor I
heard not
a thing

The Big Ben chimes thrice
The chime letS go of its wings
and swallows a bee-sting--
it sprays its spine with spice. 

The printer reboots in haste
The fruits play hide-and-seek
and collide with a geek--
it munches them into paste.

Were
like 
a
short fuse

Leaving London

A thousand flickered lights
Beat out neon
Fantasies animation
Jerks its pseudo motion
Feet by fifty foot tall
On the south river board walk

Juke box gangsters one-armed bandit
Hang street corners
From the eyes red light
By cliché shop windows
Of a thousand...
