Lice Attack

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 everywhere slyly
Lest they are knocked by Fingernail.

The Larger ones are the commanders
Of this momentous Guerrilla attack.
Smalls will follow forgetting Slanders
And battle with guts, work in Pack.

They furrow the skin to make Trench
So that they can fight and stay secure.
Some would plunge in them to drench
Themselves in the blood for adventure.

These Lice have a Mission to fulfill.
They make slices of nice hair with
Their teeth of Vice like stinging Eel
Or Mice, with ruthless urge beneath.

They have attacked on the Two-footed,
Some would hide and ambush at once,
Some hang by hair until it’s uprooted.
All they do is sip, sting, cling, flounce.

AKA Turbo

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 old! You're killing me, Smalls!

Go fvck with people of your own minuscule age
You still have to play with baby witches - I'm a fvcking Mage

You're barely older than my own son
I'm way too far out of your league, hon

Didn't you get it the first 50x when I didn't answer for you?
You're creeping on me - being a proper stalker, dude

Seriously though, I haven't notified law enforcement yet
How about my entire existence you just magically forget?

I even paid you $25 to fvck off, once!
Go sit in that corner, child, wear that hat - DUNCE!!

I have no bloody use to ever see your pathetic face again
No, "AKA. Turbo," I don't want to be your friend

You're the kind of little boy who screws his friends' moms
Gross - "AKA. Turbo," everything about your existence is wrong

No wonder why you're homeless without a home
'Cause you won't respectfully leave people the fvck alone!
boy

An Alphabet of Talent

Fred Astaire was king of tap
Biggie Smalls was huge in rap
Carson (Johnny)ruled TV
Dylan’s songs are poetry
Elvis made the girls all swoon
Frank Sinatra loved to croon
Greta Garbo hid from sight
Hitchcock gave us all a fright
Isaac Hayes’ voice dips low
Johnny Depp steals every show
Kenny G can blow that sax
Larry David can’t relax
Michael Jackson changed his face
Norah Jones embodies grace
Oscar Wilde wrote books and plays
Peter Falk had piercing gaze
Quincy Jones finds music stars
Raitt (That's Bonnie) rocks guitars
Sally Field lights up the screen
Tony Kushner nails each scene
Uma Thurman makes men drool
Viggo’s talented and cool
William Shatner’s still around
Xin Xin Xiong in films is found
Yoko Ono married John
Zach Braff’s big on Amazon

All this talent, A to Z
Keeps us entertained, agree?

Fly

"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 the literary clothes line

snapped tight then closed
by all the wooden clothes pegs

crying 
no colour in their lines

bingo

POTD delivered
applied

He’s dressed in 
Gold Lamé 

Sacrificial 
bright 

But they spit him out
he’s too Blue dyed

Easy 
release

he came for a while
he cried

They nodded knowingly
they smiled

He was an Anomaly
Not part of their mouse-clicking pride

They all wanted
a pretty reliable Relatable

just like them
Tie-Dyed

He was an annoying
buzzing fly

Less than equal
they ignored his 

Soul 
Sigh

He was a treasure box of pearls
spilling before swine

International Suicide Hotlines:

Fun In the Tub

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 romantic book.

I slip in the bubbles and they cling everywhere
All soft on my skin all waiting to share
Every inch of my body all covered in bubbly froth
The steam in the room if it were smoke I would cough.

I lay and relax all sensuous lying in bath tub heaven.
When someone shouts up the stairs
“Get a move on will you, its way after seven,
 I want some food and a drink and I need to use the loo
 Unless I come up and get in with you?”

My heavenly bath is over, I ascend rather quick
I know what he’s after, I know every trick.
I’m out and I’m dressed before he ascends the stairs
“Oh I thought you were in the tub I was after your wares.”

My wares are all gone covered up like a nun
I’m not in the mood for any of his fun,
I watch him strip off down to his smalls
He slips in the baths where I have used some bath balls
I scrub his back gently as he likes me too
And yes you have guessed it I’m now in there too.

I Can See Clearly Now

there was these woods as a kid that always gave me chills
                        full of trees and rocks,ponds and hills
                        there were more things lurking that in the forest 
                       snakes hanging from trees ,wolves howling in chores
                        
                        i couldn't help thinking that those were unholy grounds
                         always feared entering due to frighting sounds
                         then there was always this bonechillin breeze
                         constantly have you thinking that someone was hiding behind the trees
             
                       at night you could hear the different monsters as they creep
                        listen closely you'll hear the pounding sounds of giant feet's
                        just the dreary darkness gave me quite the scare 
                       so i never cared to know what was really out there
                       
                       but here i am i'm back now 
                       and i must overcome my fear of those woods somehow
                        just one more fear , i know i can kick it 
                      and i found out those woods were just some thickets
 
                      alot of tall grass and a few smalls trees 
                     and those snakes hanging were just funny looking leaves
                      i geuss i imagine all those creepy sounds
                      for there was nothing but coons and dogs running around
                      
                     there were pine cones falling and the flapping wings of birds
                  and  that small creek cant be all the water i heard
                      well i guess those woods don't scare me like they did 
                 cause i see much clearer now than when i was a kid!!!!!!!!

Premium Member Right This Wrong

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.
Children are becoming hungry, helpless and alone. 

Give them bravery, messengers of God,
imaginary staffs and protective rods.
(Psalm 23)

Our leader’s horrible disdain has caused many to join The Hopeless Train.
Beg your angels to collect their pain. 
 

Smalls tears are turning into puddles of fears.

Guardian angels, Ukraine needs protection, guidance and love,
hope, reassurance and your spiritual hugs, 
from all your celestial beings above. 

To my Deedoosh and my Babusys hold each other tight.
Hnhely, we pray for you today and tonight.

To Germany, Danke 
Great Britain, Much obliged
Sweden, Tack
France, Merci
New York City, Thank you
And The United Kingdom.... our freedom.  

Keep Ukraine’s enemies away.
From those on TV and those who are evil, far away.

President Zelensky my hope for you,

End the war for Ukrainian’s families,
Stand strong, 
believe the world will right this wrong. 

"Keep rising, keep moving, your silence is the loudest response"

Help Ukrainians to be brave in the face of fear. 
People are trying to support you far and near.

Unite us together 
and please now forever.

God, you listened to my prayer today, thank you for hearing what I had to say.

Premium Member Is It Over Yet

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 with fresh air
Breathing no longer through layers of cloth,
Or must we endure that little while longer
Protected indoors, cocooned like a moth.

Exhausted from watching show after show,
Tidying closets, climbing the walls,
Snacking in boredom, growing in girth,
Constantly texting, washing our smalls.

Hair growing longer, nails more like claws,
Roots ever greyer, solutions too few,
Pampered and spoiled, lost in a haze
Reliant on others, but whoever knew.

So tell us it's over, we pray and beseech,
Bring back the life we knew and adore,
Life's little pleasures all gone in a flash,
Staying cooped up is now such a chore.

Alpha Mnemonic

"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

genetic
hive driven
we are observed
writhing in our smalls

amphibian brained
we are still
loud embryos
clashing and clinging

unjust 
we are

just learning exotic 
movements 
within our
blue pitri plate

circular in motion 
we are agitated
not calm, chasing long versed
pre-recorded, re-rehearsed tales

a breath blown over us
language divides us
in love and belief
a disease 

we are
we think
we speak
we spread 

our languages

communicable 
by eyes that 
envision dreams 
of others within 

we are not knowing
with clandestined
futures and 
over-ripe mouths

to succour
we simulate

ad lib
ad lucem
ad libitum

sensual 
cold
science
hot and feverish

we lie 
in bed 
with irreverent
romantic fate

Omega
ohm resistant 
high voltage
across the conductor

Always equal
Metaphors of unity
become 
the Sequel

Blissfully ignorant

Ripe Red currents
juiced up and
Blue buries itself 
warm palmed 
on a soft beating breast

Ideology and 
Romance
arrive 
late

Memory
lost in the
Alpha  
Mnemonic

Stuck in 
the warm
and sticky 
we grow cold

Mother Earth's Yard Sale

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 lot
Ponds, lakes, and winding streams 
What's clean and what's not
Even comes with the fish
All ready to be caught
Puddles go for 50 cents
If that's all you've got

Feel's she's getting way too old
To take care of it all
From the largest that there is
To the smallest of the smalls
With the creatures that can walk
And those that slither and crawl
Trying her best to get full price
Before she has to discount it all

She'll pay the price for adds up front
Advertising in the almanac
Get it in early enough
So she's not stuck in the back
Make it all day Fri
And half a day on Sat
With a chance to buy it all
Wherever you are at

As Mother Earth delegently
Sets up her yard sale
All must go as you can see
Take it home for yourself
Once it's all sold and gone
She has yet to figure out
Just knows that she desperatly needs 
Some time alone to herself
