Long Rebate Poems

A former friend of mine

which typically continues
until...

speak most profoundly
of old growth economic
and political
environmental trauma?

A question I forgot to ask

Do you see anything to smile about?
Someone was on fire during the debate
He drank so much water he stuttered
That a sign the raft of hell is getting hotter

where my soul wades and waits
for my sinful traits 
to lay in the waste
of a bed i made
and destructively played

“I JUST WANT TO BE IN COMPLANCE” 

So you stroll up to your only connection and whisper, “yo, you straight?”
Which in an addicts parlance means “you got anything good or great?”
He shivers for the icy...

Strollin' thro' the park the other day I chanced upon to meet,
An old feller sittin' on a bench and he invited me to have a seat.

Hate is awarded by exposure. 
Love is punished by judgment. 
Why does society gravitate toward the negative? 

Darkened rooms and lit screens

Everyone loves violence,
With wide eyes they watch...

So look upon my line's rebate
not spoken with a narrow gate
