(how he got there)
By Franklin Price
1/30/2019

Trump is now the President
Not the cause but the effect
Of  Republicans and Democrats
Refusing to connect

He's not from either party
Though Republicans have the claim
I  think he...

"Motherland"

The “Removed”,
Charlestons across the keyboard,

fingers have a personality and a mind 
of their own, don’t you agree?

the stalwart mind converses with the frivolous fingers 
its stark increduality, considers All above All

they’re incorrigible, those lithe fingers,
like...

"Alpha Mnemonic"



Word
Image
without the image
no word

Language
a disease
communicable 
by mouth

Alpha from brain
Omega passed 
on her tongue
to yours

Ancient codex
genetically kissed
dispersed with
music intonation

gutteral 
romantic
cerebral 
never rehearsed

language
a virus formed
Mnemonic
from where exactly,

Within? 

ad lib
ad lucem
ad libitum 

from somewhere
other birthed
codex ancient
Alpha alien

She smiles
and considers the crowd,
all backward somersaulting
detached vagabonds, all,
serious soft smalls revealed -
marshmallows imbued
with the glee of writing 
irregular poetry;
works of art thou art,  
thou art, thou art, all indeed -
and what did Dickinson...

"HAPPY PEOPLE NEED SUN"


it was supposed to rain today          
but it didn't.

God, I have a prayer for you today.
It’s just from me, but please hear what I have to say.

Millions are being abandoned, starved and soon alone, where some in Ukraine are still free to roam.

"Fly"




Enigma

Out of nowhere
his voices arrived

He thought he’d 
write a poem

Senryu
get the In to the Outside 

Simple magic
3 lines

Mind erect
his smalls itched

freeze 
dried

His mind CPTSD 
crying lied

Laughing outside
he watched his inside 

Hanging unwanted questions 
out on...

Mother Earth decided
To have a yard sale
From the sands on her beach
With all of its sea shells
Including all the forest green
And mountain tops as well
Even all the in-betweens
Along with everything else

Selling all her waters
The entire...

Fun In The Tub
In the bath tub, I relax from the day.
The hot water from the tap does evenly spray
I put in the bubbles and froth them all up
Light me some candles and get a...

A little Bird,
Flew every where in the space,
He was searching for a place,
Where he could make a safe rest.

He was willing for a family,
As he dreamt to have a partner,
When he chose one,
He flew with...

Go away! Go away! I'm never letting you in!
You're nothing but a walking, slimy, horny ball of sin

You let drugs use you up 'til you're bouncing off the walls
You're 21 years old! I'm 39 years...

A is for a**l
B is for balls
Share them or wear them
Tucked up in your smalls
C is for condoms 
Of all shapes and sizes
D is for dicks
Made of chocolate for prizes
E is for enlarging erections
Oh wow!

I left her womb with so much love.
And prayed that when you, from above,
came down to fill – where I ‘fore shared.
Her secret thoughts; her silent prayers –
Would find the same sweet comfort there.
This angel’s...

They prepared a squad to ambush
On hairy forests of a human head.
Things were well planned to push
The army on the murky skin-bed.

Army of Lice marched on warily
Towards the places assigned to all.
They had to peep...

Fred Astaire was king of tap
Biggie Smalls was huge in rap

if I could take this time 
stretch it a millennium 
make each second mine
with each more evident
if I commit my mind
absorb and assemble
after falls climb
actions that resemble
with always one eye
reminding me my aim
while the other...

Is it over, is it really now over,
Are we just dreaming or simply misled,
Can we resume the rest of our lives
Outside these four walls and the shade of our bed.

Can we now fill our lungs...

Just like a weasel living life as a scavenge

And with patrol shifts going out to all the giants and talls
They sure use...
