Long Sm Poems

[Now ShallowMan is quite content
receiving FactoidMan’s consent
to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant
with fingers crossed and belfry bent
when viewing Facts in sealed cement:]

those ‘truths’ your chuckles supplement;

[Well, ShallowMan’s ne’er at a loss
for voicing shallow thoughts that gloss.
With trenchant wit he reaps the dross
when seeking sense in applesauce.

But to his aid flies FactoidMan
who always has a Fact at hand;
with him, who needs...

owing to your mind’s addictions

Sputnik Scare

The beep-beep-beep signal scare,
From the Sputnik artificial satellite
Orbiting the earth; broadcast through air
Continued for twenty-two minutes
Until the batteries ran out.

The Russians are first in space!
And America is on edge:
Perceptions of a missile gap and...

THE MAIDEN:
My little Juliette,
my hand floating over her back;
and her tiny hand with mine.
Now, we all sing songs to Capulet.
And they all pause;
they are enthralled.

Younger lads know their remedy;
no, not strong drink -
whatever you think.
But,...

Absolute is her adorable attitude,
blessed and bestowed with a burning benignity,
city girl caught within life’s calamitousness,
darling to all that dare dote upon her. Naked!

Economize, be efficient, enthuse she must,
Fight! For her felicity. Feel! For those...

Behold, how horribly the hungry Fire gapes at us
like a python, like a ravenous whale
and like the Bermuda Triangle.
How terribly the maddened Fire devours bricks and stones,
and drinks all the snow-hills like a tasty wine!

FEAST OF BEAUTY

I thought humans don't eat humans
and bands don't break bands

But your beauty is eating me up - Cannibalism.

Not empathic and absolutely no sympathy,
Emotions running high for your posh of...

She hated men

Hated everything about them

Bordering on the pathological

Hated the way they touched her

Hated the way they used her

She even hated taking their dirty money

She did like killing them though

Watching their power slowly ebb away

Should i worry for her
if She holds a knife
but with crimson intent?
if She spreads velvet
of thick consistency
unto her loaf of bread,
but pauses with a shaking hand
tightening gripe around the butter
“harmless” silver?

Goodmorning.
i saw her words fall...

Breezy mind
And sparkling eyes

For the all times
Led a night prayer in the...

What do you call a place
that gives the respite your
soul needs?
But this home moves and 
disappears,
And it’s grounds forbid your
