Beyond all the abilities

Black boys block the breaks
But normally life nominates living....

    Bowl of oatmeal
      squirt of honey
      spoon of jelly
         fills the belly

    Just the basics

         It will fix

is not what you should seek.
It's the understanding of the basics
nothing more.
Advancing to the next level

many of us
should look for....

These monsoon clouds, these rolling verdant hills
These gushing streams meandering through at will
These canopies of magnificent towering tall trees
swaying with the whimsical winds joyfully free
Beckoning me back where serenity reigns still.

look at the wall of of reality
obseving the circumferance
the pro`s and the cons
with your feet firmly grounded,embracing loved ones
walk through life with a skip and a song

Civilization didn't just all at once upon humanity burst,
It had to be thought up, and practiced, refined, and rehearsed.
And just when folks finally got the basics down,
They pulled up stakes and moved to town
Because living in caves was the absolute worst.

Love breathes,on everyday life
...extinguishing anger's strife

Love awaits another's call
...lies patient in us all

Love creates a whispered word
...as romance's voice is heard

Love kisses emotion's tide
...hearts opening wide

Love ignites passion's fire
...releasing mutual desire...

Cows of the Month, we're here!
This is a badge of honor, my dears,
Trophy of the year, hear, hear,
Once we were 'good little girls',
Now Cows of the Month do twirl,
Excuse me, what did you call me?
The basics, good manners for tea!
Cows of the Month, hear, hear,
It's trophy of the year, my dears!...

Back to black coffee
back to ryo cigarettes
back to the grindstone
the wheel
the rat race
to nowhere

back to it
back on track
back to basics
the spinning wheels
the hampster cage
the invisible prison

back on the regimine
back to the doctor
back in the gym
the vitamins
the cardio
the end...

A familiar sunshine
Fragile grins and warm hugs
Wilting trees
A shifting decade

It starts to rain
Strange conversations unnecessary
Youth decayed and childhood dismantled
A slow shadow play towards the end

Crippling wind
Monotonous basics
My Truth is an anomaly
In the end, we are all a dying story....

I
watched
attentively as
each fold was
creased so carefully and precisely,
and then tested with great care to exact the chosen form.
It was made worthy
of long, sustained
flight to compete
with the other
boys, whose
fathers also
taught them the basics of
aerodynamics from the
kitchen
table....

Flea on my dug.
Digging the flip out.
It was ought the sweat.
Caught around my face.

How can I regret it.
The taste felt on my ears.
My eyes wept to hear.
Can't oppose my senses.
Insanity is alive.

Count the days.
Months passed
Basics common in court.
Dart of doubt is adapt.
Adopt what is real.
Let a rapper join me....

NEVER MIND.

Nurses know best,
Better than the rest,
Nurses do the basics,
Drugs for all,
Including Lasix,
Never mind, they'll say,
Better tomorrow than today,
You'll improve each day,
Never mind, be home soon,
That's their daily tune,
Never mind, never mind,
Words fixed firmly in time,
Better than the rest----
Nurses know best....
