And like to chatter

empty, drunken beer cans

clatter down a sober alley

under a drowsy neon halo

'neath a groggy full moon....

Could Hear the Clatter

could hear the clatter
black lives should always matter
have seem them scatter

tea refills splatter
noisy restaurant chatter…
dinner plates clatter

Hear the clatter
of the dark blue bowls

see how nicely
they infold inside each other

So much like you and I
my endless Latin lover....

Today is a bad day,
not by ailments
but that constant clatter
of negativity
In my ears.
But the negativity
Is not my own.
Tomorrow will bring
peace....

the
clatter
  and motion
and challenges,
awaken
   the impulse
to react;
    the interuptions
    convulse
    brow-beat
    the status-quo
to invite
a response...

Little mouse ran into
the closet, not
seeing the mouse trap,
such a clatter that
old trap made, poor
little mouse should
have stayed in
the basement.

Dilly Dally/Lin Lane/Dilly Dally/Unseeking Seeker

Energy seeks and energy finds
Those who are of like minds 
They may clatter and clash
But just like water its own level finds...

Empty, drunken beer cans
      clatter noisily down an empty, 
             sober alley

under a drowsy neon halo
      of a tipsy lamp post
             beneath a groggy moon!...

Cacophonous clatter cuts clicks pricks
the rustic rim of my auricular snare
playfully paradiddling my prefrontal cortex
into a state of fight or flight
during the wee hours of the night...

Five ghostly cats rose from the bowels of Jack
Appeared silently with no clatter or clack.
How did that jack-o-lantern create those ghoulish cats?
Wondered gargoyles, ghouls and ebony bats....

What Was Matter When We Shatter

What was the matter with the clatter,
Causing things to break and shatter,
After shaking,
And breaking,
Then finding surfaces become flatter.

Five hundred channels and nothing to watch
Remember back when, we'd watch diddly squat
Didn't really matter
If the language was a clatter
We'd watch foreign movies not knowing the plot...

He loved his God every day
Sending arrow prayers his way
Lifting his praise in simple patter
Amidst the kitchen noise and clatter
Not separating secular,from the latter.

Bell
peeled, wrung
out, a clean skin,
shiny, clear to ring true,
has piercing dings that penetrate
right through the chaotic din and clatter,
insistent with its message sung:
Chiming

We were talking and sharing drinks

Until the night pushed us to our brinks

Not enough energy left to muster chatter
 
Our words diminished to verbal clatter 

The rising sun decides the first who blinks

My life is a clatter
of things I'll never understand,
nomadic heart I hear you
like the leaves morning chatter.
Nowhere stands within me
like the figment of a bulb,
gracefully small to infinite matter,
I wonder....

Remember when we used to text all day and through the nights
All those fond moments, feel like a blurry distant dream now
Sweet memories clatter into pieces of tears and sighs
And I'm alone again nothing to cherish, nothing to prove....

sunlight crossing the horizon reave through stout limbs arc,
myriad leaves of the mighty oak tree.
swift rhythm clatter rat-a-tat-tat sound flee
of the Woodpecker's beak as it feeds beneath the bark

Sit and watch, and wait and see.
For one day you shall belong to me.

Whisper or yell, it does not matter.
I will always hear your voice above the clatter.

Walk or run, or drive away.
For you will be back with me someday.

He is not THE mad hatter, but rather the tea pouring mad hatter.
What is the difference? I asked. The ghosts made a clatter.
He’s crazy like the other, but he does not incessantly chatter.
And he pours tea into soups, sandwiches, and raw chocolate batter....

a registered owner
a name on a list
each time I take aim
or pop in the clip
I'm waiting for the clatter
as they break down my door
after circumventing 
our second amendment
surrender your firearm
your cache of ammo
decease and desist
this awesome pleasure...
