Long Overkill Poems

En-trumped

There are many en-tities. Narrative psychologist speak of living and telling 
a story. Our lives should be as we en-live them and en-story them. We tell

The number of folks sitting
on the back porch
waiting
for peace to strike,
like waiting for my garden to grow
without yet having planted it.

The number of people
noticing that chronic victims
suffer from critical victimization events,
minus the number who also...

SAD Seasonally Affective Disorder

Some are prone to depression in winter when days get shorter when
less light enters the brain through the eyes and thoughts become darker

I am also affected and when news gets explosive when...

They say for every grain of sand on earth
there is a star somewhere in the universe 
But it’s not true 
there are more stars by far 
About ten thousand for every grain of sand

Carrying with me a
halfhearted smile for the
braver men than I.
The men holding tightly
to past perceptions,
live or die.
Suppose I whispered to 'em
what I've heard through
the metaphorical grapevines.
Suppose I lent a hand.
Would they take it as an...

tell them the one thing you might not say, the words you could hush, say it loud, quiet too, 
rhyme if you have to, skip a line, maybe two, a pattern of words, to see...

I’m mourning over my old mate Bill; the old codger’s no longer alive.
Yes, the old ‘bugger’s given up smoking and stumps are at eighty-five.
No more gambling and joking or swearing; he finished his long drinking...

Opps! must be dead,
looks like the pearly gates,
Rough guy levitates towards me,
think I know his face,
St Peter, I need some help 
trying to get into this place,
I’ll let you enter kiddo, 
but my identity you...

Long nosed earthy bookworm knows 'bout Angler Saxon

Shell yours truly share hook line
and sinker, regarding how I nearly
fell prey to off fish shill
doom for umpteenth time?

With the sanctity of ignorance
Flocks follow the wolf 
With truth caged 
The masses flow 
With allegiance to whims
People praise their foes

One day it will be remembered
As a turning point
Brought about by spin
A footnote of incredulity...

Much is seen above,
less is visible below

Celestial thoughts 
have elevated luminosity
Subterreanean feelings
possess a catacomb void glow

The sun shines with sparkling clarity,
as rainbow-coated        ephod epiphany branches 
bud more colorful...

Last weekend I scoured the earth for fun. I ran the race. 
I danced in the rain. I jumped hoops and ate holly-berry sandwiches.
Then I took my pet Yeti and went for a walk in...

Its bad enough with millions out of work
But many of those millions have loans
They struggle to make due to get out
With all they can gather together
Just to have enough for another day.

One job isn't enough
Two...

I am so wild, I carelessly run around
I am the last horse in a one horse town
I'm as wild as wild can be
I have zero guidance, so I live my life aimlessly
Do what you have...

I remember younger days
 when the bright sun's golden rays
melted those old blues away
 Bright and green when life was spring
hitching on the robin's wing
 so much to do so much to know
and now life...

In Neptune’s lair
she rests eternal.
The legacy of failure
chipped into her stone facade.
Plato knew her, as a child and 
depicted her visage in words.

Like the south, 
she will rise again 
or so said Cayce.
From a silvery...

Behold a land of monarchic decadence as celebrity status
of family values eroded in a smorgasbord
of half truths and bare-faced lies;
what life-model this,
one of toe-sucking chequebook journalism,
degradation and scandal, contempt for the public.
TV vendettas and cellulite...

What kind of crazy whimsicality is this?
I mouth to Trixie, my muse.
She is wearing a red tutu, and has on gray striped headphones.
Dancing to some kind of bee bop music I dare not listen to...

You know
There are times when I wonder
There are more times I blunder
In this grand stage, with tomorrow
I turn yesterdays page
And write another passage in my life
Another twisted attempt at sanity
Another stab at freedom
One more try...

See yourself the finished deal  no time for self reflections. 
Every word you speak is taken as the absolute decree.
Look the part project the image give it overkill. 
For self belief is what you...

And there will be no candled moon, 
No bones picked clean by virtue's rage 
Against all sins left un-forgiven. 
Lovers left in limbo-light at dawn 
Shall stand as statues stand, 
Alone, as broken martyrs 
Cast...

Time for celebration
Time to gather up the best in one location
Back where high school dress codes were your main struggle
And if your outfit was right then you could score a double
As in two phone numbers...
