Sandpaper Poems

Sandpaper Tongue

It was designed in order to break up their food,
 but could be used adversely according to mood,  
 most things I say are 'wrong,' know what I mean?
 I really start to wonder about heard and not seen.

 Remember Ogden said: 'Just say yes to everything,'
 we know that's not possible, peace it

Sandpaper and Phantom Rainbows

When I saw him last, 
He wore grey bananas on his feet 
He had a pirate’s hat between his teeth 
Long last the man from Oliver Kitten arrived on the shores of my head 
How was he to bring such a large basket of straws and ask me to bloom a white rose 
You have

Sandpaper Words


I hope my sandpaper words
rub you raw
Want ‘em to be abrasive,
stick in your craw
My prickly gruff words
will make your eyes bulge,
and jut your jaw
Baby, meet the ghetto Sandman,
he gon tell you ‘bout your sins
He gon give you bad dreams again
I hope my sandpaper words
really rub you raw
Make you wanna repent,
and follow God’s law
Do sincerely pray

Kisses of Sandpaper

Softly the pitter patter 
Peaceful melody of purrs,
filling your soul with laughter  
furry four legged treasures;

meowing their words of love
blinking 'Hello'  with their eyes,
punching  your heart like a glove 
staring at you from up high;

pouncing softly to your lap
a joy to watch each caper,
right before taking a nap
sweet kisses of sandpaper.

I didn't measure up.
Within your plans, I wasn't enough.
My life was sloughed.
Back to the pencil and I'm rebuffed.
Now I've been scuffed.

These are imperfect stains,
They're complicated and they're erased.
You've scraped against my grain.
I was replaced just to imitate,
a chosen face.

You had to finish me,
covered in sawdust of apathy.
You've

Sandpaper Dreaming

A little sandpaper smoothes the edges
The final touch that makes the job complete
You think of your angel yet to be born
This crib represents your loving protection

The final touch that makes the job complete
Is the love that was poured out each moment
The crib represents your loving protection 
You have been working and praying for days

Is the

Sandpaper and Blue Pearls

sandpaper hearts
take away the roads
dig a hole
fill your moat 
lifeless
gold

smooth texture from life
bleach the silver fom crosshair 
eyes
the color of blanks
a string 
of blue pearls
march along the plywood vein
tapping at this tired thing
tap-tap...tap-tap

singing produce =produce or starve
no time to act tired
count those aces... tight
another day-another race
don't make a mistake
tired thing snoring 
o'er
sandpapered casket
tap-tap

A Carpenter Without Sandpaper

A carpenter friend of mine is skilled and able.
This morning, he was building a new table.
He said, “I ran out of sandpaper.  I have to get some more.
I’m going to take a quick trip to the hardware store.”
I said to him, “If it’s time you want to save,
it just so happens this morning I

Sandpaper

let me start a * bid for the right
  to light the pyre of the bond;
  who would not believe, the benign bony fingers
  had written off the desires,

  from lips to hips
  may you go to find the sludge at the
  banks of fury at sunrise, I am

Sandpaper Blue Eyes

your sweet voice
trumpets through
the 
Celtic green air
but
where
to find 
Regina’s fresh eyes 
the wild scent of 
her maple brown hair
leads the curious heart  
to your  natural
sandpaper blues eyes
