multivitamins
for breakfast in the morning
gives me gas like mad!
parmesean shrimp pasta and loaded cheese grits
southern chicken tenders and rice pilaf
hot buttered cornbread and butterscotch pudding for dessert
two bottles of water, some multivitamins, and an alluring oceanfront view
a unique collection of music i made similar to an 8 track i had in the early 80s
let me see....morning sunrise-weldon irvine....lovely day-bill withers....
moonlight feels right-starbuck....kiss you all over-exile....the tide is high-the paragons
....simple things-minnie riperton....look around-sergio mendes and brazil '66....
a little stan getz, a taste of michael franks, and an alluring oceanfront view
i sit here now in complete silence
a few people with flashlights are having a good time like i am
race, color, and presentation does not matter here in this vibe
i fall asleep with a smile of pure contentment on my face
i do not worry about the inevitable departure
i do not worry about what is waiting for me when i get home
i do not even worry about time or place
i just amass myself in the heavenly bliss of the moment....thank the Lord....and rejoice
I
I take multivitamins and diet pills
Not to die
Just enough to feel sick
to not eat
I
I stick my fingers down my throat
And nothing comes up but coughs and the remnants of last life’s self esteem
And I
I scratch and cut
But now only faint scars remain
I want more
And I
I walk alone at night
Tempting someone to kill me
But only loose some money and air
And I
I walk through life staring at my feet
Or that girl’s thighs that don’t touch
Or that one who looks like she’ll blow away in the wind
Or that one coming back from the gym
And I
I don’t have the self-discipline
And I
I don’t deserve you
And I
I sit in tear less sobs
Because I
I can’t even cry right
salt can bleed the heart
out of its natural helium state.
in the meantime i will age gradually.
i am in need of scripture and multivitamins.
single sylable i sitting on the couch
drinking tap water from a masson jar.
monotheistic i body..
three parts water one part salt.
In my bag of tricks
there are multivitamins
jokes,fun,smile,humour
love to see smiling faces
all around heart warming smile
a sense of humour
I carry with me always
want a smiling world
dazzling faces everywhere
even brighter world for all
