Slowing Down 

Electricity runs through my veins. 
It courses in waves,
from my head to my feet, 
and back. 
Why? 
Because I am ever, 
waiting for the other shoe to drop. 
I heard the first one,...

Zombies dwell in the halls of justice of this country
joining other dead brained imposters
with their eye on the throne of Democracy

Whatever happens when days counted as weeks?

And years counted as astrological countdowns

What ever happened to disco rap battling drums?

On streets filled graffiti and sand castles

Whatever happens to shoes with no laces?

And bras with no straps

Find out who clogged the shower drain
and stopped up...

stopped up 
knotted
but not afraid
look where I’ve landed
in this short
charade
sidesteps 
widesteps
and 
serenades
I’ve been
depending upon
promises
that were
never made
moving up
slowing down
tired of wearing
this heavy
crown
what’s that you’re
saying
is that a 
question
or a 
lifeless sound
limp
lost and 
longing
for a way
to be seen
wondering...

How do I hate thee?  Let me count the ways.
I hate thee to the depth and breath and height
my plunger can reach, when reaching out of sight.
to the ends of a stopped-up toilet bowl.

Over and over he tried again.

Love obscured and vague
What is it?
Is it like an Icon sitting in the corner
of a computer screen,

This love needed so much...

Morning Weather
By: Miracle Man
11-7-2019

I awoke this morning, 
To the sound of heavy rain.
Leaves are now matted, 
And yards a stopped up drain.

This morning the air is chilled,
So near the fireplace I huddle.
Then upon peeking outside,
I...
