Sister
A friend—
not a good one, but a close one;
one that I couldn’t let go
If I could see you now, I don’t know what I would say…
there were always things I didn’t know
but I loved you...

On Resilient Health
I am reading my Resilience Systems Manual,
avidly,
like an underfed developer
hoping to strike gold
while laying healthy habitat foundations.
Today I see Community Resilience mention
Tipping Points,
dipolar appositional,
when exceeded
on a WayTooMuch Yang OverInvested
Western dualistic
nature ain't spirit
so divine couldn't...

Oliver, a Boy Part 2
Welcome back my weary friends
I promise you this story ends
But not before your time flies through
A tale with a horse or two...
On streets of cobblestone and gray
Where beggars sleep and orphans play
The aged, sick and...

Hustlers Life Part 1
Moms wondering when her son will come home
She don’t realize he now belong to the road
Chose his own destiny, a hustler’s life
Married the game, she’s a demanding young wife
He’s lost sight
Throat tight
No longer can tell...

The Morning of the Hurricanes Part 1
The Bishops bathe in Babylon
while Princes, prancing on the lawn,
watch Queen deflowered, pale and wan.
The King dares not defend her.
The Horsemen, holding broken...

Misfortune of a Poor
Hey blokes…do you really know what life is…?
Like living in the ghetto…any memories of Soweto…?
Maybe you can’t…make me a chant…
Yes…I know…because I grow…
In the streets…where my feet…
Would meet…the dead…and the underfed…
Where food variety was scarcity…like...

Modi of India
You were not born of ivory halls,
nor cradled in the velvet silence of empire.
You were fireborn—
from the coal-scented dusk of a railway station,
where teacups bore the dreams of the underfed.
We remember, because you were once...

The Shocking Christmas Parade
He heard commotion, "Well Land O'Goshen!! Whatever could it be?
It stirred his notions, and came invading, to wake his fading dreams
As he raised his head, the dreaded clock had invaded peace instead
He dreaded rising, was...

The Train Tramps
Bedraggled and grimy they hike from the tracks,
Fleeing the urban centers to the south.
Unsteady gaits and sun worn skin glow.
A young couple with a thin mutt,
Ramble towards a local store.
The lively grin of the underfed...

Simple Poverty
Simple Poverty
I think that I was maybe three
When memories started following me
They called us poor and, I guess, we were -
These things will tell if you concur.
Birthday cakes with not enough candles –
Coffee cups with...

A Response To My First Poem
My first poem posted at Soup (it truly is one of my first poems
since I enjoyed doing parodies of Christmas lyrics long before
I began writing other kinds of poetry)

I Hate this World
I hate this world I'm living in
I hate it to the core
I hate this world I'm living in
Can't take it anymore
The hate that sparks a genocide
Does anybody care?
The theft, the lies, the cover up
Is there...

Ghost Town Trains
By a rotted down shack
Near an old railroad track,
The trains rattled past and sometimes came back;
There’s a thin plume of smoke
From the old chimney stack,
An underfed scar on a night painted black.
Hangs a dead...

This prose, a shipwreck...
Barnacled and long forgot
at the bottom of a lonely sea.
This song, a rusted railcar...

From Now On
“From now on, I’ll be good, Mom,” my son said.
This came after not too few tears for him I'd shed.
It used to be once he got out of bed,
my boy would get in trouble! He...

Don't Serve Me Anything Old and Cheesy
I've been served lots of unappetizing things
that simply did not please my palette.
Being force fed with bitter or insincere words
is unappealing presented as a crisp green salad.
I would rather be underfed and malnourished...

I Can'T Help Myself, So How Can I Help You
shot down and abused
misled and used
shed blood and felt pain

turned mad green and so sad blue
i can't help myself, so how can i help you
malnourished and underfed
followed blindly and been misled

Dress Revolution
The dress Revolution
Sometimes the longing for the past is like a constant

I was the first to wear shorts and sandals in town;

My Chick
You’re skin and bones, chick.
Compassion commands me stop,
stare, on my path, where you sleep.
I see dryness, hear stillness, feel silence.
You’re skin and bones, chick.
Were your chirps for worms
silenced in unsound Mother’s ears?
Your wings, too...

Naked God
God's organic clothes are coming unglued,
seasonal seams tearing apart,
emerging alarmingly chaotic
whatever, dissonance?
Supremely straight white noise?
Next time,
I'll recover your naked monolithic culture
in clothes of hard rooted wood
and yet how would you wear them?
Who could?
Perhaps we did

Dimples
Sit still, XXri Brook
Dimples, smile, light
Too much for the heavy flight
Of a daydream, happening
Across from my mother’s anxious look
Is my reason in a book?
Maybe another book
Buried in my room
Me, no doors, nor nook
Dimples overstretched,...

The Nature of Man
The ocean now looks the rain in the eye
Swelling with ego and pride
Humming and Hissing flows with the tide
Wrestling the ships and the boats
And laying claim to some of our lands.
Even Adagun adorns himself like...

Dreams
Overwhelmed! It’s so easy to be
In this world of made-up history.
As the price of all we say and do
Comes crashing down around our ears
And the ghosts of what we thought were true
Are smothered in all...
