Long Overheat Poems

In case you don’t remember them they came from outer space
They were to be the first beginnings of the human race
But when they crashed they came down in a stark and frigid place
Antarctic ice interred...

The first person shooter
did video confess:

no big deal ... wasn’t nothing major at all

Minor beef got some onions grilled,
cheap talk had turned dirt ill
And when the rumors started...

I'm a polar bear, just that.
          Don't ever call me bi-polar
      or I'll angrily maul you to death!

than in centuries. At first they seemed wondrous, a
miracle as they helped us in multiple ways and most
eased our lives to some degree or another.

Yet all...

I love the words you speak
For they reinforce the ideal in which hands speak.
A warmth that can't be heard, only felt.
A bonfire released in a cylinder.
The crackling of dopamine like wood.
Branches that provide warmth in...

Talking heads 
will give you their attached credentials
with solemn aplomb

And it’s plenty hyphen proof long

They’ll make unlearned eyes gasp
at their hyped expertise

Get simpler minds to hyperventilate,
as their lower rack thoughts 
common sense overheat

Everyday, mundane pondering

Listen when I tell you
its way too much
must I bleed for you to see the hurt in me
 
Pierced, burnt and scarred by needles
stained in your ink
an aggravated soar
your cruelty heightens more and more

Nausea overwhelming.
     Hands desperately grasping my pen.
     Body trembling trying not to overheat.
     Mind blaring, eye's burning from unshed tears.

Whether or not I ever find what I seek

You are what you eat

Bare foot or with shoes on your feet

Oh, it was a beautiful cloudless sunny day,
as I wandered a meadow to make a bouquet;
all about butterflies were dancing a ballet,
and I was dazzled by the song of a blue jay !

He quickly jumped into the driver’s seat.
Off he sped, there’d be no retreat.
With no place in particular to go,
He simply had a new truck to show.
	
Many months he had waited for this day
Now this work...

The Home of Sand and Lovebugs

By Elton Camp

Florida represents itself as a retiree’s paradise
Plenty of things, you will find, aren’t so nice

During the United States’ industrial revolution,
Eli Whitney invented interchangeable parts;
Identical components that could be substituted one for another.

This creation was made for machine— 
weapons
cars
and other mechanical mysteries.

Wind blowing in my hair
The breeze gently caresses my body
I feel as if I’m not here
My body feels weak
My knees are shaking
The intensity I feel
Is making
Me vulnerable
To uncontrollable
Movements
As my right leg goes up
No longer acquainted...

It's there.....
There .....in the sky
Looking like
A bowl of rhubarb and custard

The fiery glow it emits
Looking like a giant fireball.....
Ready...to descend to earth
the moon in all its glory.

What does it mean?
Denoting spring is on its way
Or...

Where’s my faith?
It seems to try is to let it go
Where’s my heart?
I let her leave and now there’s snow
The light I feel is lost in sin
The dark denied is trapped within

Where’s my mind?
To pull...

Everyone's got those ticklish spots
They seem to be everywhere
Some can stand it for little while
Till it's more than they can bear

They giggle, chuckle and flail about
And wind up on the floor
Yelling out “oh please, please,...

Why would I want to be in love?
It makes you sweat, overheat, 
And hyperventilate. 
It creates major heart issues 
That stay with you for years.
It costs too much money 
When you try to keep it...

Wrinkled shirt in the sink
  Cups in the bathtub -- clink, clink
Shoes in the freezer, under the meat
