Long Velcro Poems

I've fallen flat on my face 
And I can't get up
I wanna leave this place 
But I gotta pick my face up 1st
Looking in the mirror has become the worst
Cause I gotta look at this...

"It's all in the earlobe," I heard him say,
And I wondered where I went wrong.
For my ears were lobeless , and I was weak,
But this ear full of lobe man was strong.
As I eagerly listened...

I will start with using my hand as a guide
And in the end I will open my eyes that I will decide

I consider to do this with one thing in mind
I will close my eyes...

My green evenings and 
honey suckle sunset were
warmer than my kid fists
that wrapped like velcro
around those tall patches
of tiny yard onions
and my chalk-stained jean skort
packed with hand-picked acorns
that spilled from my pockets like
apple juice as...

and Stitched his mind up Tight
But the Needle Point, was coming
Pricking… with all its might! …

All is still and quiet on the drill pad.
Even night still sleeps at zero dark-thirty.
Celestial bodies lend their light, but sparingly.
Though their contribution will hardly be noticed once
she begins their day.
In her head she goes...

Quirks and eccentricities (I’ll show you mine if you show me yours)

I have my favorite fork and spoon
Also gotta drink from my favorite glass
Never fasten top button or tuck shirt in
Guess that shows a definite...

As luck would have it
I chanced upon the secret
of finding things not looked for,
to enlist serendipity on cue.

The more you look the less you see.
Stop looking for, and start looking about.
Expectation kills spontaneity.
So, stop planning...

I've got a story, that needs to be told,
about my mean ole granny, she's pushing "83" years old.
She came at me trippin, it was a Tuesday night,
griping up a storm bout her broken, bedroom nightlite.
She...

A lot of time has passed
since freedom was part of the daily routine
		Eat when you wanna eat,

No need to have to ask for permission,

She was the prettiest doll in the whole world,	
Elegant, stunning, waist-less, buxom,
Curves all over the place,
No straight lines.

Shocking for a child’s toy 
Shocking for 1959.
Mattel was by far
Ahead of their time.

Marilyn Monroe and
Jane Mansfield were
Our...

Warm light shone down 
from windows in separation, 
splashing yellow rainwater puddles 
about our feet of clay; 
  coarse sleet stings our faces, 
  hoarse vapour exhaled, 
  brute stabs in the...

They say Adam and Eve pranced around wearing nothing

But fig leafs and the biggest grins the world has ever seen

Imagine NO FREAKING RULES!!!

All they had to worry about were those thorny bushes

And the occasional lightning...

Angie’s blind eyes wander aimlessly in their sockets, 
one white as the belly of a snake, the other a pointless blue.
She has one dress she wears every day, and a cane that is

dear tall child,

your bones probably don't fit your frame yet;
   they shift awkwardly,
and your spine hunches and slopes.

your hands are likely to be dry and grimy,
   legs speckled with ant bites

i watch the sunrise
unbuttoning the stuffed pouches
of thunderclouds

soaking
imagination
with dry-drunk dewdrops
becoming bubbles
blown through
ringbarked
jewelry

worn 
by the roots 
of rhinestone rapids
growing in
spider
webs

trying to catch
a flying_fox

there has always 
been a silent 
soft echoed
beauty

dancing on the tides
from down

perfect pirouettes
showing ligneous...

Why do we need laces?
To tie up our shoes
Why make is so difficult?
To tie that annoying thread through

Mum makes me wear lace ups
I don’t know why she tries
For tying is the thing I hate
And have...

My canvas calls for blue today.
A light delicate pretty blue, not the ugly mean ones.
I mix the one I want, a sky blue on an October day.
When it dries I stare at where grass might...

a strobe of flashing lights and the 
smell of smoking cordite filled the
leaden night
the brush brush brush of silent velcro 
and cocking guns and their knobbled sons (grenades)
rolled like severed heads bouncing in the rain

It's prime time
And the difference is seperated by a fine line


Hello
All these fellows
Softer than marshmallows

Your girl keeps trying to stick to me like velcro
And continues shaking that booty like jello

This is just a demo
In case...

A teal twilight inks cobalt silhouettes
while distant stars unveil their twinkling lights.
And shadows slink forth, melding with the night,
as a setting Sun feigns a scarlet death.

Pink clouds cluster at the horizon's edge,
garnering shades of cerise...
