I was born with the taste of her in my mouth.
We met amidst a bar brawl in old Dublin.
In the dawns gray light,
gutters would drain out
with beer, spew and blood.
At first knock, we knew each other.
She scratched me hard,
I mouthed her blood-bruised lips.
Later, tongues turned compliant,
as tender as sea anemone fronds.
Daybreak still found us
drinking from the pink froth
of our unquenched souls.
Blood of my blood.
surrounded by trees
a trailer lies in decay
the front door tugged by the wind
a home left behind
littered with animal waste
shadows seep from doors ajar

Most days we awoke feeling quite asinine,
choice wasn’t to get up or remain supine.
The bugle was telling us rise and shine,
fall in formation “cruits” and ditch the whine.
After a five mile hike you’ll be feeling fine,
with their way of thinking we wouldn’t align.
Our canteens contained water tasting like brine,
with spit shined boots each cleaned his carbine.
K.P. and cleaning grease traps is hard to define,
another duty intended to harass but was benign.
Just one lousy gig got us a barracks confine,
but finally after 9 weeks we were on cloud nine.
All this happened with purpose and by design,
to make men of boys that would toe the line.
A lunar cave sheilded them
from the horrors of radation
there the Moondogs
honed there skills and became
revered by the challenges of nature.
Martain Microbes and
Titan Sulfurnites
the Crystals of a space time Contentioum
filled the area were
the Magnif One
Duplicater wuld build
the first ever Home World vessel
to store the inhabitants of Earth.
Earth a World far, far away!
Earth, there a twinkle in the galaxy.
Earth a place destined t jear the tales
of these Astromic explorors.
Earth there beyond the
the hemishere of the Moon, Mars and the Earth like
moon of Saturn!
They were astronuants in space when
earth was conquered by 55 Cancri e a distant planet in Space!
frustrations and stressful events that gave way
to the spaceship docked above earth.
The camera show
were the astronauts on the moon, Mars and Titan
rallied to join together
and spearhead the
effects to reconcour earth.
The far, far planet earth home to these
earthings.

Watching the dark sky turn from night to day.
The sun that soon follows warms us with its rays.
There's nothing 'mo betta than another day of life.
Treat every second of it just like a prize fight.
Say something to someone that they've never heard.
Give them a hug, show love, and mean every word.
Within the simple things, there is nothing 'mo betta.
Then to actually be down and game for whatever.
Long strolls in the park with a jog on the beach.
Lobster for breakfast, a bagel and cream cheese.
There's nothing 'mo betta to leave once you're gone.
Enjoy the fruits of your labor, then pass them along.
When she spit, they run and scattered
Them their children stopped and listen
To the thunder roll roar matters
Mo’ Grand Ma Rudell
Everybody fell still
With voice of thunder roar
No bad children under
They all becoming
Obedient host
Scare of Ole Grand Ma voice
Discipline is her medicine
Ain’t na-body gonna be bad no way Mo’ Grand Ma Rudell Robinson

It is my turn on the swing the little kitty said.
She was irritated, shaking her little bitty head.
Maybe he was confused, the mother cat said.
But the female kitten was not easily led.
We tried to be fair, we did eeny meeny miney mo.
Dramatic and irritated, she gave us quite a show.
I think he should be off she said, shaking her pink bow.
It is not fair that Beau is on the swing. He was not at the mo!
So strange, it was dark in the white room
People pondered over marshmallow figures all stood in a straight line
That one at the end, it has eyes
So it has
Godlike, we bow in awe
Hundreds and thousands applaud in unison
Chocolate legions stand routed
The eyes have vanished
Death searches in the night
Jelly baby heads abandoned as mothers cry in colour
Candy fish lead the cortège as the night floats downstream
One jelly baby saved
Adopted Tobleronian
Something's brewing
Death in the afternoon
God speaks
Go forth to jelly mountain
Hundreds and thousands follow
Tobleronians in hot pursuit
Parting of the waves
Plague the Pharaohs army
He leaves the smarties
To climb jelly mountain
God gifts him tablet for the journey down
The smarties have built a chocolate idol
Furious, he breaks the tablet in two
With the Tobleronians on one side
Smarties on the other
He came to his only conclusion on jelly mountain
You just can't get the 'Staff.'
I
My first wife of 30 years married me
Gave me gifts of children, virginity ...
Not in that order ( ha ha, hee- her)
II
As a Christian my body obeyed
The rules of marriage, I prayed
I would not cheat, abuse, or hate
But my mind did cheat: FORGIVE ME
III
I learned as much about orga@m
To please my two (married) women
Not that; I married two (serial monogamy)
IV
On mother's day, I declare: let women lead
Our grandmother's may have never bled
Orgasmically. Because husbands are on top
Quite apart from Mo McGreaveys education
On word origins: cow C*NT is not all negation
With my good Hindu Ma, wonderful wives
Let men know your fantasies. End Sacrifice!
Bumpin' on Life's street's little surprises
leaves us too few---------------compromises
we filter our choices
through various voices my
Lightness of being harmonizing.
I
Insolent Rib is only so
Until you speak poetry
and daily fare
Philosophy
I miss her
when she's busy
universalizing charity
all and sundry
animal husbandry
in her way (with Nature)
II
Some days (my lady
here knows its some days)
I miss their comradarie
The earth seems oddly quiet
When they do not speak
So, without having met
They are family yet
My Family of Poetry
Write, Heal, Shine Bright
You are so fine,
I wish you were mine
And being a christian, I know you're not after fornication
Your eyes, speak of deep contemplation
I believe, you value of love, fidelity, & laughter
The same things, I'm after
So, why don't we just tie the knot
'Cause I love you, alot

Maureen discovered a poet
Who knew her but did not know it
Mo turned a page
There was her sage!
Now she has proof and can show it!
