Long Voiding Poems

[Now ShallowMan is quite content
receiving FactoidMan’s consent
to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant
with fingers crossed and belfry bent

The flames of the furnace (well-travelled by wind
slowly glazing the rags of gray women chagrined

sometimes billow like waves flooding naves through the night,
when the lightning...

and who could natural spirits be

outside nature, unlike inside spirits, 
does not favor kindness.

passing chambers of an Heiress
(though no need to feel embarrassed)
through a magic mystic mirror hanging curtainless.

It is good to know what we resist,
but my best way of knowing
is by self and other showing
what we together
would more health wealthily
assist.

You might assume 
the only way to effectively resist patriarchalism
is to fight.

Turns out,

My mind is boggled. 
What is with the Coronavirus mania? 
Why is everyone going freaking nuts over this? 
From what this writer understands, 
It is much like the regular flu, 
Which is killing...

his harvest of melodies-in-parallel would become?

Scholars agonize

Was creation of counterpoint
musical destiny
a hybrid fruit of beauty
knowing no boundary
bewildering those of first look
given musical staffs
voicings and manuscripts
always conformed to traditional confinement?

The contents of my head empty into my stomach

She's Wet VII Continued

When she gives a cough or a sneeze 
Some wee trickles down past her knees 
Her knickers are damp 
She smells like a tramp 
Dashing home so nobody sees

Please persist
With poetry,
Though you stand accused
Of wasting precious time
On the silly art of rhyme.

You have a task,
You poets.
Of re-presenting life,
The essence to attain
Thus making real again.

You live for others,
Via poetry.
Watching with all senses,
Hearing with emotions
And...

With bartered pen and little remorse
Brandishing sharpened scalpel; tour de force

Enraged in anxiety’s malicious chains.
Accosting not only a nation but world,
Reaching the farthest, secluded parts,
Devilishly leaving no stone unturned.
Withholding grandpa from grandson,
Idly stripping people’s livelihoods,
Needlessly voiding human liberties,
Disabling...
