Long Odorless Poems

I relished being hungry for Thanksgiving pop slop gloppy grub

whereby the missus didst potchke
created whirling dervish hubbub
after enjoying repast, 
(fit for a tarnished king),
yours truly able, eager, and ready
to soak my ego freezing carcass in...

I relished being hungry for leftover Thanksgiving pop slop gloppy grub

(a poetic partial fiction 
blended, diced, fricaseed, 
marinated, mixed, pureed, sautéed, 
stewed... with fact)

Hmm... on second thought
lemme join anorexic club
until rib cage protrudes taut and...

Sacrifice made when selecting abode
Unit not ideal, but affordable close to City
With a three year old daughter, I worried
About noise transference below and above

Three level town house style was unique 
Huge unit fronted four smaller...

LOSER


my parents
taught me to walk and they made me crawl
taught me to talk and they said be quiet
they tormented my mind to slay my imagination

their vociferations of scrawny advice
a fragmentation of a thought hospitalized
getting ready
for...

Centuries have rolled,
The generations don’t connect anymore.
They grow as trees in isolation
And don’t make a garden anymore.
They are stories divided in incongruent chapters
But don’t make a readable book anymore
For I don’t understand your language
Nor do...

Hmm... on second thought
lemme join anorexic club
until rib cage protrudes taut and visible
doubling as drum to drub
synchronized within heart of darkness,
especially when electrocardiogram exhibits
absolute zero vital sign,
cardiac arrest translates
as cessation to lub dub,
hence yours truly

The gale of time has snapped the bonds
The generations don’t connect anymore
They grow as shadeless trees in isolation
And don’t make a cool garden anymore.
They are stories divided in incongruent chapters
But don’t make a readable book...

The Enmity

Sweat

Salt taste's good
In a very dry mouth

But

It's sickening

It teases with a start of reassurance

But then
It trails down
With less tiles to run on
It's starts tip-toeing moisture out
In the middle of your tongue

I'm older than your dad and your grandpa too!
I've been around ever since day two.
God said, "Noah, go forth, cypress wood to chop",
Because of me - Raindrop. 
 
I'm a tasteless, odorless, colorless, stud.
You mix me with water,...

School was a mile and a half
walk from home,
across roadways, busy streets
and railway lines and through
parklands patrolled
by swooping magpies in spring.
We thought nothing of it
when it was pouring with rain 
or hot as hell. Six...

Eutectic water ice with a time-extending elixir,
Casting a trivial covering of aqueous freezing.
In the puncture spirits of an exquisite spritzer,
The Esophagus of a beat glass, sublimating. 

Casting a trivial covering of aqueous freezing,
Wadded ash fills...

Two Scavengers in a Truck,
Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes

Wind


It’s evident that this element has been here before time
Is it all mine?
Just for me, this spring breeze seeping through my window
Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t
What is it?
Composed of Oxygen
That feels so good when...

LOTUS FOR SLOPING KNEES

sitting on shoulders of humming trees,
the sunlight wafting shades on meshed nets---

I am the muteness behind naivete
Born as the duplication of despair, flunked

Sad the heart 
sick the mind
from world 
of commotion
retiring
past reliving
motionless drifting
to wall mind
hanging museum
odorless images
soundless captions
spirit of senses
still pricking
heart 
joy seeking
switching from 
dreaming
to present of
gadgets unhealing
blowing away walls  
breathing out
relics
dropping its shoes 
of backward...

Life is a chess game,
Where fools eat your black or white pawns,
Where liars replace shiny pawns
To confiscate them in your loving heart,

A chess game, where riders pass 
Without seeing you in the barren deserts,
Where horses...

In the depth of night 
Glassy eyes staring
Into the emptiness
Of blurred space
Spread in front
Of the backdrop
Of cold infinity 
This is the end 
And the beginning
At least for me
My eyes do not see
The colors of the...
