Long Reorganize Poems

My husband and I always enjoy visiting
GrandMother Eartha
on Mother's Day

She often shares
last night's dreams,
which too often follow rather disturbing peak experience themes

Because,
you know,
or maybe not because,
how would I know?

Dreams about Her Straight White AlphaMale trauma

A raw poem. Whoever would like to rearrange, reorganize it has the right. I'd like to thank them all. I promise I will never make a claim for that 

A husband knows, but he pretends...

Cuba…Mamma Mia…like most of the Caribbean; part of the 1492 slam…
Slavery, sugar plantations… invasions, upheaval, independence…
Then the American kisses; with a slight twist…who initiated the ’disses’…?
Was it Blaine…is he insane…?
Was it Marti…the heart of the...

Schiff: What a pack of pitiable goons! For their proper errand, merely a lick and a promise; And for unpaid pizzas, hundreds of licks and hundreds of smacks! Too sad.

Fall semester starts tomorrow. It’ll be exciting - for a few days - but it won’t be long before we’ll miss the tanned bodies of summer, the cool, clear lake-water or lounging carefree, on bright,...

Your actions are so cruel
So calculated and quick
Within an instant 
You take what you want
Because you feel entitled
You've destroyed trust 
In those you should be closest to
By coveting others 
Your needs outweigh 
Close relationships and...

Politics is an enterprise
Prediction must bow to intrigue and surprise
You could philosophize in detail but then have to summarize
You could appeal in entirety or locally polarize
You could seek to cause but things unfold to make...

Boys in school - I sympathise with them 
They must reorganize their brain stem
They are made to sit in rows
And try to see what each  one knows

We must...

We’re off to New Haven - hurry, hurry -
we’re jammin, crammin, slappin`
and slammin` everything into our bags.

Michael announced, “the chopper’s waiting.” 
with hugs all around we separated.

Our roommates too, are all catching...

I’ve been told there are five steps of grieving
Each one I walk for miles

Numbness is the first in the chain
And, shock is supposed to help ease the pain

You can pinch me, and I will not...

Let the breathing become tough
and the eyes quick shudder in rapping repetitions 

Metaphorically I'm fine
In reality I'm screaming
as an odd teaming
of pupils gather here
to bare witness
take notes
Chore up the damagers and skip past their throats

Never...

A Fierce Clarity

Conundrums of doubt
dumb, dumb, dumb
downers with an excuse
to gulp the pill
wash down chemical
sweetener for the bitter palate of sugar

Grains of possession
miserable addicts of this technological freedom
bar-code a ticket to emancipation
cold blooded despots
placed in...

oftentimes 
 in dead of night 
I lay awake 
 filled with fright 
throat-pinched giggles 
loud and clear 
cause my heart  
to quake with fear 
to most that sound, spontaneous 
puts at ease, incredulous!...

When the lies, the violence and the hate
  get to be too much
I am lost, come to the party far too late
 and truth and reality lay in a deceitful hush.

Tell me a truth,...

there are the pieces strewn about,
without a semblance of order, unless
viewed from the vantage of secret places,

then the pieces find automation as I am looking at them,
and they reorganize and retract and coalesce
into a novel...

Winter's sun,has reached it's crest
dark befalling,shortened breath
energy spent from seasons left
even the sun needs....a little rest

Time to reorganize all that matters
nature sleeps during frosted weather
cooling the engine of earthly tatters
which provide for all,in hopes we...

The nights are the worst,
as relentless tiring boredom sets in.
The days aren’t much better
the drudgery of dishes, cleaning the fridge
for the third time today.

I almost bathed the dog
but that seemed like taking things a bit...

the curious dream

toward darkness when the sun
	breaks down
do I dream of civility and rules
or does my brain    reorganize
the life fantastic validations of

and twisted monsters   giving

to that which never was...

She sang it high and she sang it low.
