big lie

Re-Born Father

These urgent strangers dressed up in green gowns
Snip rip strip
My dad’s red pants underwear and shirt
From his ancient body

A de-frocked clown not funny anymore

“Oh Bobby, don’t look.” He cries
Mocks
Wonders if I get the joke

But rather than some skinny sagging
90 year old man

His skin is taut
Pulled round his plumpness
Knees bent to hide his hairy tangled groin
Head proportionally squat

Eyes darting with shock

Skin greased with sweat and blood
Like a wet canvas
Of the water colors he loves on walls

Hands panned under his flop
Skootching him up the gurney

My old man
As fresh and upset
As a new born

Helpless like us all.

Let Me Count the Ways

Let me count the ways:

1. He makes me feel as pink as the colors on a cherry blossom tree
2. He sees me without ever having met me
3. He hears me and understands my silent pain. Its like we have danced in the rain before but separately
4. I can be naked with him with my clothes on, two differences not common in today's morality
5. We are the same sign...what a common rhyme
6. I like his eyes, slanted and piercing like an eagle watching it's prey
7. I like his lips, proportionally palpable by mine, when I close my eyes at night
8. His skin mirrors  mine, not too light, not too dark, perfect mix of honey and bourbon
9. His beard, colored like the night, makes him seem so right
10. I heard him … his voices has humility, with some notes of honesty and some tones of slight positive swaggery…

These are the ways I think of him...

Phi

she asked
please undress
me and i did but

i did so
slowly that
she asked again

please
undress me
so i did taking

her wig
eyelashes
false fingernails

just a shell
of her perfection
i cunningly guessed

her golden 
ratio by the sum
total proportionally

to her
asking once
again to please

undress me
but i digress trying 
to redress her position

knowing
she will follow
the curves that make

up though
she wears no make
up of her forever universe

Neoliberal Elections

Actually my hyperbolic suggestion is not that new
apart from the vote casting honesty it might pursue
as it is known to democracy with all its respect due
no more veils from rich over poor to give you a clue

We have cell phones and finger prints for transactions
iris photos and soon microchips for regular satisfaction
in commerce we trust so there might be some traction
to link consumer sales with how we vote in elections

How many ballots we have to establish who is the winner
must tie to overall purchases what we spend on our dinner
and luxuries cars perfume Democracy 101 for the beginner 
proportionally less say when our wallets are much thinner

The big spenders will directly determine who’s in charge 
they can simply make more crosses so no change at large
far fewer concerns no hoodwinking for those on the marge
only truthfulness in that some do not rule as they are ‘savage’

Proportionality


Was I projected when you inversed my motion?
Like gravity you pulled me down to earth
I became relative to your perspective
Prevented denial of my proportional thoughts
Internally bleeding directly from the source 
Proportion of blood to water I was saturated

Procrastination decreased my functionality
Proportional to thee
Thy remained stationery like Newton the first
I repelled electrostatic forces
living in denial like Inertia
As generators,the rotation is alternating

The relationship reversed like AC current
The direct proportionality is somehow altered 
Anti nor cyclonic the Coriolis forces deflects
Proportionally direct will reach the destination
For bipedalism sapiens composition
Mass reduces motion

Paradigm Shift

You are the created One who created everything
Who gave us creativity
You are the one who had the date when I would be born
A pin portioned
Just right were I am Now
Wow
You did that just for me
You are the one who released unto me thoughts to be
Wisdom instructions and clarity
You did that just for me
To be
All of the time space with me
Instructions read answers fed problems solved they were suppose to be
For me
I tapped in found intimacy
Laid down back sided responsibility
Favor fixed the game blue streak
Peeked
Before the contact was made
Misbehaved
Had times of insecurities
With thee
Measures the right time to reveal to me
To be
Catching rhythms rehearsed ripples raved risky
Tripped see
Over misunderstanding why things happened to me
Growth see part is a process property
Belong to release
Part of a designated timed prophesy
Who me 
Yes greet 
Those set aside for my destiny
Set in motion just like me
Grown from a little seed
To be
Proportionally realigned rejected many of times trust me
Now I see
Life matters really matters quickly
To catch up with time thought lost was not time to see 
The outcome of a Father's masterpiece!

Description

Quickly
Open suggestively
Thought take accusations
Anomalies

Bench faking
Distorted trees
Open baskets
Caskets

Deeply seed
Close proportionally
Who to be
Watched washed criminally

Minded law orders
Gavel pounding heart beat
Engaging ceremonies streets
Blue red purple stories

Back lash freaks
Bullet scraping 
Rimmed concrete
Who to be

Soaked tears adolescence
Skipping detention
Rattle thieves
Bees were is at straight

Con-formalities
Body counting
Recognition
Who that
Be

All That I Know

Of Beauty, 
All I know is that it varies proportionally to the label on your jeans.

Of Physics, 
All I know is I get up in the morning and fall down at night.

Of History, 
All I know is what I can't see anymore is past, and what I'm afraid to see is future.

Of Music, 
All I know is one man's Bach is another man's Zeppelin.

Of Stability, 
All I know is that it's unstable.

Of Humor, 
All I know is that it makes us realize what idiots we really are.

Of Economy, 
All I know is that it's like a lobotomy.

Of Adolescence, 
All I know is that it caused my parents to lose all of their brains.

Of Maturity, 
All I know is that somehow my parents found them again, probably under the loveseat or something.

Of Cars, 
All I know is that my stereo works.

Of Marriage, 
All I know is that it's something my friends do occasionally.

Of Divorce, 
All I know is that I could lose more than everything.

Please Peace

Fighting for peace - dying for his Petra
No pen – No power
Try play despite the plight
Parties partition.
People partition.
People with no petition.
Places persist proportionally. 
People pass to a new place.
Peace!
Please Peace – O’Israel, Palestine.
