Long Put a lid on it Poems

Stricken with turbulence at about seventy two inches

Yours truly issuing a deafening rebel yell
bursting forth with such might
courtesy cooking under pressure
analogous to volcanic upswell,
forcing me quickly to flap vestigial wings
(at the speed of sound)
while simultaneously...

Prevalence of my tenure and my decision.
What's the explanation for your heartache?
Oh, soul, how did you let follow the passion?
People who love you have had heartbreak.
While I feel doubt and nervous tension.

What type of strength evokes...

Scientists are telling you, 
that as the world gets hotter,
the damage to the earth,
will gets worse, 

Fossil fuel is destroying,
the ozone layer,
and yet like an ostrich,
we bury our heads in the sand.

and...

Poised to dive into the drink below
the deodorant on the shelf above put on a show
while the toothbrushes looked on with a big grin
the deodorant dove like a champ and took a swim,

The toothbrushes held...

It's with decision that I put the lid on time
Sitting with all my might
Calling you over with heavy appliances,
washing machines, refrigerators, 
piling them up on my lap as time bumps upward and threatens to throw...

I do this each year, usually November
The box is heavier than I remember
I lift off the lid, inhale the odour
First it's the Yardley my Dad used to wear
A giant birthday card, a 21st treat
Hides the...

Many of us have pondered
The true meaning of life
I finally found the answer
According to my wife

A man is supposed to get married
As the woman becomes his queen
He's supposed to nod in agreement
But never be heard...

But smelled my own disappointment
For I reeked with it; an acid smell.

When there was none in the house
And had not been for years
An unfamiliar voice told...

Spoon-fed by
Manifestations of
Truth-like truths
Partial particles
We have stopped 
The pursuit of search
Sense of
Subtle satisfaction
Has put a lid

The mere rhythm 
Of the half-filled
Half-empty pitcher…

Thoughts –
Picked like fallen...

The meeting of the minds
It conquered the world
The entanglement of the souls
It emphasised the word
The endurance of the pain
It lead to freedom
Roll out that red carpet

Put a lid on, on top of it
Indulge what is...

Will I ever see you again?
hear your voice, see you smile.

Feeling so alone all the while.

They put the lid upon the coffin

Feeling so alone all the while.

Anger, despair, fear and...
