Long Retake Poems

Dear people, 
    (Am i?) Mad it’s a conformist state?
A status that perpetuates people to pair, to compare, to prepare,

What could become of the dream she got?
Keeps coming back to hunting eyes' jot
Viewing afar her possible lot
Maybe or not would be as plot
Or probably weird off frank...

awash with intermittent amnesia.

Scant number of minutes elapsed...

ingested as a palliative prescription
medication addressing the issue of
palmar hyperhidrosis -- excessive
perspiration of...

After the Vietnams and the Me Leis
Steel skull
Stone eye
Blooming jungle rot
Itching on the crotch
Jack scratches the trigger of his M14
Kisses the golden egg
And throws like the Babe.
Jack is now back from hell and trying to...

FIRST STANZA
Boadicea!
Oh Boadicea!
I mourn for you!
Since the day you left us
Our lives has been blue
To defend Britain from the Romans
You laid down your life
And saved your people from the Butcher’s knife
Liberty and justice was all...

had to somehow get Gorge Washington
out of the looming Hudson Highlands,
and then force the war to a final ending.

Youth lets us find it in order to keep and hand it on a generation,...

I've found land again, the darkest land that I have seen,
And I can't see a single thing.

"I'm staying in sick again",
Huhh these lies...

When I sticked with my last
So embraced with the maid
In the middle of the light

That moons can't get z's

Who are you to take ones life?

From any and all who can see 
as I see,
From most definitely me; my 
furthest, darkest recesses 
buried deep. 
To they who worship at the 
high places of the Valley;
To the bright cultists from the...

Already deeply...

There comes a time
when partisan
and pious positions
are set not aside
but explicitly within
both/and dialogue frames

private principles
and public EarthJust policies
for healthcare practice
meditation
medication
consciousness
conscientiousness
compassion
passion stories
redemptively co-invested
cooperative journeys
re-ligioning

There comes a multicultural space
re-connecting who Red Republicans hate diseased the...

Dew drops fell on my eyelids,

as I lay upon dampened ground

I sighed and looked heavens up astound,

wishing for the pain to cease

I wiped my brow of all crease

with dismay my mind wonders

If it really is...

No worries no fear, just a carefree life
Mother’s lap seemed the treasure of world
Rejoicing each day with heartfelt joy
Happiness needed no reason, it was inside
Talking the heart away while spreading smile

First loves seldom last into the future 
I advice you shouldn't cling on to that picture 
Before everything goes south, 
And your heart ends up with a fracture

I'm speaking from experience, 
I could give you...

He took his morning seat
to hear the Sage's sonnet,
"On Punishment":

"The people are not afraid of death;
Why threaten them with death?
Supposing that the people are afraid of death,
and we can seize and kill the unruly,
Who would...

We await her arrival
Our maiden of secrecy
Cherished by the stars
Whored by the moon
We wait for her day and night
Our hearts flutter into specs of cherished dust
As they escape from us in every cherished breath
As they...

If i could retake my life to bake again, 
I’d say exactly where, what and when, 
To my family and fundamentalist church, 
To those with importance as a crutch. 

I’d take that offer of life...

Leaking sides of a filth I abandoned

Sheathing myself to my fortress garrisoned

Waste snaking through what's left of my good will

On and off I rode away from the wasteland off the distant hill

 

Encountering the ghosts...
