Long Profiled Poems

I have heard many moms repeat
"You never stop being a parent."

Sadly, I don't see or hear that quite so much from the dads,
although I know of remarkably nurturing exceptions.

I thought of this as my impossibly...

“By any means necessary”

To sit in at...

when we go to jail we get a legal aid lawyer
who  tells us to take a plea even when we are innocent.
when we go looking for a job, we're told nothing is available.

I am tired of seeing our mothers cry;
It’s painful to see their tears.
It’s been happening much too long,
Down through the years.

You don’t want us to chastise them,
Or beat them in our homes.
But you will chase...

Les C. Moore be virally,
virtual plea coming black enamel blu tooth

Tupac was a young revolutionary
Don't try to understand him
The visionary and child
Ahead of the game, while the game
Was making him into a paradox.
Do not put him in the collar
Of pop culture
To corner him in a...

Opinionated- And It’s Eyes---


I awoke and flung my mind soul in the heaven
What could there be more purely seven?
'It's that lordship,' I muttered;
And am I the nonbeliever never okaying;
I crave the divine, deponent denominationalism Why?

A maiden named Mary was pledged to be his wife

News that hurt and the community would deplore
Though they had...

I have typically had the experience
of riding comfortably
on a polycultural,
including multi-generational,
populated bus.

But,
I also have memories
of stepping onto a subway
and not feeling I am welcome
by my fellow-alien riders.
And sometimes this goes OK,
and somewhere the line keeps...

Remembering through the years,
A welcome to the country of Canada.

An invitation to the theatre,
Special days at a friend's house.

A school choir and "Long Time Ago in Bethlehem",
Days of leadership and honorary crests.

Graduation with classmates,
A beautiful...

	Never was a menace 
Walking the street is no crime
	If you can so can I 
I bear no grudge with you
	So why do you attack me so senselessly

3 polished oak fans,
Swirling in robotic unison

High maintenance socialites,
Sipping on Merlot fallacies

Lemon yellow coated walls,
Flat,
Like their smiles

Comparisons of dangling Porsche & Bentley keys
A glorified day care center,
Pacifiers included

The muted virtuosos speak softly in hymn dialects.

Race -
Did it start the big debate, in 2008?

He’s not my president 
Show me his papers.
Why don’t we impeach him 
Silence all the haters.

Take back our country 
Those thieves took it.
Yes we can!
Tea Partiers have...

I think on Sunday when it rains 
And the print stains on my fingers, 
Profiled whorls of black and pink 
Whilst the dishes fill the kitchen sink 
And the scent of burning lingers. 

An avalanche...

Over the going ons of this life

From my conception to my third ex wife
From the dumpster babies to a NorthWestern paradise 
From train traffic delays to buses blowing...

The sun shines brightly, the day is a vision of loveliness,
Blossoms on the trees that look beautiful.

The green grass is sprouting slowly to become a carpet of green,
The dandelions smile at you, their spheres of...

You called her unmarriable because she fought for her rights
You wanted her to stay home
And cook, clean, wash, iron and bear you children
It was okay with her, you both agreed on five of them
And she...

Seductively symetrical in form and presence
She calls it Eve, I call it sepia political
Aroused motherhood of nation, a glamorous sense
Of identity, modern and yet mystical
Naked as a morning, smooth as silk dreams
She looks back, not...
