A Freezer Mice adventure


When no-one was around they did the finger-clicking thing
And grew to human size in time for what the day might bring
Their guns were charged and ready and...

"Sliders"

500 clicks down, was code phrase for battle ships gone all depth charge. The deeper you go down that black-holed sink, the more you understand in your oxygen deprived brain, that there is a lesson...

that have been trained to solve your drug problem

that's how they do it you know
come into your community
into your loving arms
find a small part of your city to overtake
put up their businesses
take away yours

Plan to fail

the perfect human i am

If only you knew the satanism
I'm leading telepathicly
something none truly understand
groupings, games, how this list is a rock of dangerousness
into the future of paranoia, power, deception, and tricks

Losing the Light
	by Cheryl Higgins
 UNSUPPORTED CODE  - with a quote
from J.D.
McClatchy's
three-part poem
"Three Dreams of
Elizabeth
Bishop" UNSUPPORTED CODE 

What sold me on the
architect's clever
evening tour
besides designer
lighting and too
many vodka bitters
wasn't this
relentless dawn
scraping every
skylight in

Her weight color and eyes
Please tell me he cries

The day was brilliant--Sol spreading diamonds in the sky-- 
When Kathleen and her father faced the slope, 
He with trepidation, she with hope.

They scanned the rise and watched like country rubes
As sliders paused atop the...

No Extra Innings

Baseball games are won by keeping score,
But hold no interest for me any more.
I realized, when it became clear to me,
How like relationships the game can be.

The pitcher I knew threw devious curves,
Many...

Clear sharp, bright days brace the nerves, standing under mistletoe and holly,
A feeling of pleasure lives in our heart our lungs some go for...

We have Cousins Camp in Kansas City in the summer.
Any grandchildren who cannot come, says, “That’s a bummer!”

So Willy Wonka’s gone and now I’ve got
his factory. Though chocolate is great,
there’s something else to which I’ve given thought!
Because of Covid, livestock’s gone to waste.
Please, Farmers, do not throw your pigs away!
Although it’s getting...

Seathed Conflicts

Devastatingly ignited  fire of riot for a decade, 
A bundle of clean rags of thoughts catches,
Through a baptism by flames of accidental  occurrence ,
 In a certain place causing damage and stress,
A strong...

Leftover Willpower
David J Walker

I know
	I know
What I said last night 
After the last bite of 
Turkey and dressing and 
Cranberry sauce and 
Pumpkin pie	
That I
Would never eat again
At least, not this much
	So much
That it stretched...

Near death experience


Eager to meet my sweetheart,
Gave my scooter a kick start,
Railway crossing on my way, 
Was setting apprehensions at bay,

Sliders were down to stop the traffic,
time for train to pass, hue from attic,
Tilted my...

"Don't Quit Your Daydream,"
I heard muffled 
through the thick marshmallow.
Not quite awake,
I descended down the never sticky gummy ladder, 
Never sticky,
Always smooth and gleaming.
Sunflower Jackhouse was still 
Monitoring the monkey responses.
"Did someone call for me?"
I...

As happy swing-set riders 
join the skating board sliders 
the more affluent children 
rode on the Merry-Go-Round.
 
With scraped shins and scratched up knees 
we would climb the tallest trees 
and dirty our new sneakers...

Swing set riders
And sliding board sliders
And players
On the merry-go –round

Getting scratched up knees
From climbing up trees
Dirty sneakers
From the mud on the ground

Holding hands with his pal
Ignoring scratch from the fall
Shouting together
Playing on, calling all

Paying push...

male night shoes talk
man talk
daring to be stepped on
yet
soft, passionate
like blue music
patent leather, suede whispers
New York sliders
date night daddies nearing 500 bucks
purchased to impress
and say, “I am prized”

lady night shoes murder 
the feet and other...

To the Signalmen of the Watch

She is cool gray steel, slicing darkest sea.
Crewed by crazed youngsters, both man and woman.
Quiet and deadly, in following seas, free.
No light above, but the Moon and Orion.

Coffee, cigarette, red...
