Long Restructured Poems

Dredging (9/24/19)

I’ve considered putting my hair
Into a ponytail when I’m sleeping
Because my hair not soft against my
Cheek and gets in my eyes and is
Hot. I’ve also considered getting
Another better-paying job. Both
Have ended with the same...

Some watching my ease
Of execution of the self
The latent anxiety unteased
Writes me off in simplicity.
Some denuding me of honor's wealth
Wait in turmoil 
For a scab to fall and unveil its pus
And if I do not...

Why do Presidents
work out better
safer
healthier
when they insist on remaining
persist in reclaiming
active grassrooted residents?

Cooperative property administration health values
are rooted 
in eco-cooperative wealth

PolyCultural Values
from regeneratively safe experience
with resilient
and resonant,
CoPassionate Left/Right
West/East 
Capital/EmBodied
Ego/EcoSystemic
bicamerally therapeutic
polyvagal EarthTribe 
neurosystemic balance

While recovering

I've encountered many battles, I'm currently at war

Giving up is something that I simply don't stand for

I'm a warrior, a viking, it's in my DNA

I've been PTSD and Depression free for the past two hundred...

Great  are the follies of  haughty   man   through  the  times ,
Imposing  his  will   on  fellows,  changing  the climes,
Playing   god   for   some   silver  , acceding  to   greed. 

Always   striving ...

With his go-go soul and sultry sound, he kicked out many lyrics and spat out many rhythmatic rhymes…they in the main stream at first rejected and disrespected his sound. They said it would corrupted the...

Recepticle:  One of a kind

It was a thoughtful gift
in the shape of her heart

Symbolic inscription-
"Love's Everlasting Hopes"
kept next to the front door
In shadow, in half-light.

She kept her car keys there.
Small change, new receipts
pins and...

On  daily  basis producing  their hyperactive  arms 
For their better-offs’ less automatic alms:
On lucky charity, therefore, badly dependent,
With things not looking quite resplendent.
The word ‘Pauper’ fitting their circumstance,
Year after year, not...

I saw her... Standing there.... Blinded by her own lies... She uttered words that
destroyed my pride... I stood there... Eyes filled with crocodile tears as I held back my
retaliation.... I believed her when she told...

The teal peels as it submits to gloaming,
and a round lucidity exposed abroad.
As the alien brilliance shines far away,
the maneuvered view is being cast.

'Tis dormancy that exacts dark period of tenure,
countdown from the zero hour.
Distant...

INDEPENDENT BROTHEL 

A nation like ours
Like a place restructured into a Brothel 
By responsible married men
Where voters are used like prostitutes
Some even do on credit 
Independently

Fancy leaders like ours
They are the most responsible married men
The...

Missing the days
When I was the craziest person I knew 
This mad world 
Has incredibly gotten madder
Radios TVs blaring panic
Humanity gobbling it up like candy
Social distancing 
Because society hadn't already 
Become distant enough 
Do you...

Wandering, lost in the turmoil of today
 I stood and paused, contemplative -
a struggled entourage of thoughts 
 mesmerized envelopings of my dream world
where tomorrows, the future would change
 all for the betterment
 the wise...

She dreads the trips to Shiloh.
Does God even hear?
Does He care?”

The man cares for her deeply.
“Is not my love more
than ten sons?”

Her rival pokes injury.
“Woman, what is wrong,
arms still bare?”

With zeal she reshapes...

The hurt -
All encompassing and consuming.
The pain -
Sharp, with deadly accuracy.
The fear -
So deep into the core of the soul.
The stress –
Simply mind bending.
The rage –
With animalistic aggression.
The anger – 
Always bitter and blinding.
The sentence...

The litter of chatter
On air pitter patter
Like the Galean on water:
The other one without the power
There is a desolateness here
Borders broken
By the commerce of men
Restructured by the twitter
Bringing anomie from the bitter
Knowing of self without...

Moving On

Those flitter-bits of memory
Still stab me in the eyes
Gritty bits of broken maybes
Floating where they cannot be denied
Like sponge, I soak them heedlessly
Broken spirit akin to broken skin
I wipe the tears with patience
I soak...

In Praise of the McRib Sandwich

By Elton Camp

I am as excited as can be
McRib is at a café near me

To order and eat one is fun
Pork & BBQ sauce atop a bun

Adding spice to this...

Grey mosaic skies, clouds burst into tears that flow, 
Sounds of blistering wind relentless continues to blow,
Seeking shelters, ignoring hierarchical food chain,
A glimmer of hope as a beam of sunlight shows in vain,
Piercing through darkness...

MY LIFE IS A SUCCESS 

My life is a success;
Carved out of many troubles
Iike gold, I was cooked
Fire went through me like crude. 

My life is a success;
A transition from many struggles
Through the shadows of...

A crow of excitement,
"This saw is divine!"
He examines each blade
one tine at a time.

Serrated and sharp,
The metal, it glistens.
"Look at this motor!
Babe, are ya listenin'?"

Then from his deep slumber,
The builder awakes.
Opening confused eyes,
His hands start...
