Long Piranhas Poems

Explain your historical evolution radically, inclusively, expansively, good-humoredly; 
not carefully, deductively, reductively, sarcastically.

"Piranhas"



Piranhas
thrashing tales
to the feeding frenzy
de rigueur

someone’s torn
they can smell the blood

pointing fingers in a mirror

craggy oysters
peppered salty
grey and green 
furry mouthed

blunt, stunted minds
lacking wisdom

scattering envy 
curling vitriol
like iron...

IV.
Fronds whipped their faces, they dashed through the trees,
more shrill, raspy growls rose behind them,
creatures crashed through forest, giving them chase,
they weren’t that fast, but came relentlessly.

Like piranhas swarming, they just appeared,
in Zack’s peripheral vision...

Our Supreme Court
Just allowed corporations free rein,
Unlimited power to effect our popular elections.
This regardless of,
Where stockholders may live or stay,
Corrupting the whole process of our Reps selections.

What this means to you,
Is the next Representative you'll...

I struck out on my own around a year old
life was so full of fun, so many things with
which to play, a leaf scuttling by, a rustle
in the undergrowth. I was enthralled.

I stood on a...

yet back in the day
rolling in hay worm

frolicked, and idealized

My friends I’ve had a great idea,
I have to let you in on,

Tempest is brewing the bridge overhead,
sways the strands of titanium on pillars of stone,
dusted in my fists like onyx beneath gold.

Crows circle the lonely woman in the desert,
as she crumbles they make quick like piranhas,
cadaver...

I see your tough nature,
Your coarse rough exterior.
I see the unbreachable wall, 
Never to be penetrated again,
Fortified against the most dubious of foes,
Built of the hardest granite from the walls of your heart,
Guarded by spears...

The traffic was strident, lanes straight
the cars lined the street and froze rigid.

for that man who
cleansed his addictions
for the sake of your eyes,
made of chocolate fantasies.

Fishing for attention at Loneliness Lake,
searching for more piranhas
to gnaw on...

Struggling to keep it together,
In a relationship that wont...

We are all like fishes
Swimming up and down 
Following each other
Around and around
Turning direction
Once in a while
Following fickle fashion in style
Some of us are piranhas
Others trout
We can swim alone 
But often better in pairs
Or groups...

They do have a boiling lake....

Trapped within this cage of flesh, a sparrow

A soul, always longing to flee its confines, to soar so free

Born, tied to its walls of mephitic truths; but unwilling

These eyes that burn, until they succumb unto...

But stars could swoop through the obscurity,

The crowd that packed the county court all shared a common creed,
With eagerness to point to where the evidence did lead.
They’d gathered like piranhas; their intention was to feed.
