Slung towards confrontation
Pins anxiously wait

Alter changes facing.

GOING TO DEFEAT THE DILEMMA


heaving sighs I grip my walker tighter  facing the tightrope ahead

The pugnacious primate up to know good.
Exhibiting face, so close, where we stood.
Full confrontation.
Exacerbation,
As he scoops up his poop, eats it as food.

A murderer was asked
by a father,
"When you killed my boy,
did you send him 
to heaven or hell?"
And the murderer replied,
"While he lived,
did you send him
to heaven or to hell?"...

The always amazing and unassuming
flight from confrontation fright
The rude avoidance of acquaintance
with life’s challenges with dances
How can these issues of man survive,
and still claims the balls?...

Our furious passions, like wild rams, 

in a fight within our hearts, engage

To a head-butting confrontation, 

Trying, one another to upstage!

He breaks your heart
  Tears you down and apart
Lip buttoned, your kid shuts you out
  Where to turn, How to start...

Extra patience is called for
   It's a waiting game
Confrontation only gets you
   More of the same...

flowers in conversation 
or
confrontation 
in white-bright light.
duet, leaning
as if elbowing the window
of an automobile,
glaring-blank stare.
the other with violet eyes -
the kind
that drives the point
home.

What happens after
This confrontation

Predator spies her
Sea’s delicacy
Tempting, alluring
Confrontation comes
Jaws open, eyes fixed
Girl missing at sea

Condemnation, confrontation
  Nasty, no-compromise nation

Protestors plentiful, a passel irruptive
  Ornery out-of-towners, so disruptive

Downtowns deflowered in
  Portland Chicago, Seattle
Lawless looters ~
  Time to skedaddle...

PASSIONS LIKE THE RAMS


Like the rams,  
Our passions each other up size, 
Before 
In endless fight, within our hearts, they
Engage 
To a head-butting confrontation,
Trying 
One-another to 
Upstage!

If you want harsh feelings
If you strive to miscommunicate
If you adore confrontation
If you want hatred to call you out
If your brain is disengaged
If you do not remember how harsh written words are
If you love to miscommunicate
Text someone...

Is your courage abandoned
  in the cold and lost

From a temporary crisis,
—an unplanned confrontation

Does it wait for reassurance
  as you run and hide

From a seconds indecision,
—a momentary denial

Deeply enriched by stimulating sensations.
Mind vs. body is a dangerous confrontation.
Exposed to desire, and uncontrollable urge.
Feeling an implosion as it begins to surge.
Bodily rushes to great to be scared.
When it all comes to an end,
Who's truly there to care?...

We have a Veep named Harris
  by her I am embarassed

Has she been to the southern border
  (You'd think the question was murder)

I haven't been to Europe, she replies
  She wiggles and squirms, but will not lie

As for her opinion on immigration
  I think I'll avoid a confrontation...

I ddddddd don’t like….con….fronnnnnntations
This is how I feel about them too
But it is funny to see myself on film
Biggest wimp ever 
Which shocked and horrified Marty
That is his dad after all!
It is not attractive.
I see that for myself now, yet I still
I ddddddd don’t like….con….fronnnnnntations...

Thomas,
Loving, memory, poetic, visual
Brother of Bobby
Lover of Joyce, Hanna, stars
Who feels love, closeness, joy
Who fears confrontation, violence, snakes
And not wild about blood and gore, the military, crass cultures
Who would like to see peace, harmony, acceptance
Resident of Portland, Oregon

a stain doused with bleach, 
     scrubbed with power grout brush
           yet stubbornly remains.
   confrontation with a mind made up...
                  a losing battle.

You and I have two ears and just one mouth
so we all should listen more than we shout
but with our ten fingers and our two eyes
a tendency to just lash out online

Yet we've one hundred billion brain cells
form the opinions we allow set sail
when our sense of confrontation sits blind
we raise all Hell toward people online...

Face Chewer



The reek of desperation

Exhaustion

Can barely speak

A ruinous confrontation

No sleep – over weeks

Violent situations

Arise – in they creep

Like vermin

Human varmint

You spent what’s reaped

You kill every moment

Reeling to Invent

A life of abscission

A world terminable and b...
