When a Continental 
Met an Oriental,.
He thought it detrimental 
To his mode of life.
But soon this Occidental,
Growing sentimental, 
Wed the Oriental,
And she became his wife....

My ambitions elitist
reality bourgeois
My palate continental
taste buds still raw
My ambition ennobled
vocation unhailed
My reality sordid
—future travailed

it's a thong
not a thing
something is on
both sides
of the continental
devide

not east or
west but north
and south
central in between
her house is 2,543 miles
away from mine as the crow flys...

I like the full English
When it comes to breakfast
Something substantial
For a satisfaction that will last
None of that continental rubbish
All foreign and nasty
And what’s the deal with a croissant
It’s nothing but an empty pasty...

The idea that our founding fathers intended anyone over 18 to possess enough firepower to destroy the entire continental army of 1776 is absurd, arrogate and dangerous.

Crop dusting now,
Endings inevitable.

And in this keyhole
I strain to see
your nostalgia.

Patty cake games
Untimely now
And your breath
so much slower
than before.

This closeness
will follow me
eternally so,
until it is my
time for 
Departure....

Listen to poem:

These green and isolate continents,
set apart by oceans slick as glass,
post signs on high escarpments
to warn ships, sailors -- and loves that pass --
of seeming permanence, often met:
though earth seem solid and free from rift,
please beware of continental drift....

Sedimentary and metamorphic rock
From earths mantle or crust
Host of tungsten granites and diorites

Intrusive extrusive and hypabyssal
Of batholths sills and dikes
Eruptions of subaerial volcanoes

Continental crust 
A pacific ring of fire
4030 million years old...

Business has been a little slow
But my wife really wanted to go out to eat,
wanted to go for a real treat,
Started to worry, become a little mental 
My wife wanted to go the club continental
Then I felt a little frustration 
So I took her out to the local bus station...

I’ve been so many people in this lifetime.
Each tethered to the last - a lifeline,
Connecting me to my selves
As I deftly delve
Deep, and wild,
Free
And beguiled.
Even fish themselves
Swimming continental shelves
Marvel at this little heart of mine.
I’ve been so many people in this lifetime....

Funny thing happened on the way to the bank
Crocodile joke to put you at ease
Bail out the traitors who ignored our rules
Made up some more to paper their ease
What's a continental dollar worth these days
In gold, in silver, in memories?
This Garden Path of freedom is not free
And without money backed by gold
We'll never be....

North American, South American and European,
Asian, African and Australian.
What do the ethnicities of all these continents share in common?
They are all homo sapiens, they are all human.
If we focused on that similarity and not the difference,
perhaps world peace would then truly begin.
Hmm, I wonder if there's an ethnicity known as Antarctican....

She was French
without being continental;
without language.

She was French
the Channel could not part us
our hands clasped often.

She was French
She'll ne'er be forgotten
she was all mine

for a while;

She was French
without being, well, y'know.
And she loved me...

She is French
still;
I love her
still;

She is French...

Think of elsewhere
where the day
has grown old
perhaps with a remembrance
of what has trespassed
concerning what now goes 
throughout these hours here.
Now what does it fit 
to cry by uprooting trees
or cry by wrong paintings
or cry by a wrong directives
or even cry by whims
and caprices of abyssimal
or in fact even wrongly cry
oh! later you may
swallow it a going....

silence on the seas
massive seismic surge follows
when continents shift

earth’s distinct contour 
erupts from out the ocean
forming Hartland Quay

layered, jagged cliffs
before time began for us
join in upheaval 

shipwrecks indicate
transition under the sea
earthquakes unnoticed

silence grandpas can't recall
pre-ancestral change at all

mountains bob like corks
adrift on liquid magma -
pond scum shelters life

Earth’s magnetic shield -
magma’s gift of moving charge
thwarts sun’s deadly winds

continental drift -
neighborhoods fenced by oceans
breed diversity

random mutations
offer death or advantage -
unearned consequence

life’s adaptation
to universe in motion -
the true face of God

I feel to have a long ride this weekend
Leave all this ing stressful work
Made like a rifle Goes like a bolt
Royal Enfield, the sound of a bullet
Could it take all my pressure out
Without delay in this murky dusk
With full of flash, went to my garage
Continental 650, a ton of fun
The perfect blend of attitude
That's the feel of full of ecstasy
Let the sorrow flew away
Like the good vibes of ocean tides....

our photo ripped in
the middle where
our hands held

hold us separately
as if the equator or
continental divide

has tried by trial
and tries us as
seen and been

guilty of being
once     to
gether

yet the parts we
play apart from
one a     nother

are still
on the
same

stage
and then
that's when

i see we haven't
been torn away
it's a crack in

the glass 
of the 
frame's

pane...

I am running low on love, Miss
Give me a hug here,
Give me a squeeze there
And oh, a good smacking kiss.

I’ll flip a burger, I’ll grill a fish
Or cook you a continental dish,
I’ll flip and twist, sing and dance
If only you give me a chance,

For I am running low on love, Miss
Give me a hug here
Give me a squeeze there
And yeah, a good smacking kiss!

Hampton Beach 

 The smell of fresh fry doe
 Time had elapsed playing at the casino
 Fresh lobster with a side order of fries
 Those spacious wonderful sky's
 Down at the shell the continental were playing
 A walk by the lady of a statue in waiting
 Flip flops and the sound of laughter
 A playground for kids in the middle
 The boardwalk with seagulls flocking over head
 Fire works in the midnight air with a cheer...

the UK is divided over the divide democracy provided
provided divide pride will in time die
the EU is sat divided too, denied their chance to divide,
whilst the UK will unite, continental anti-EU pride stays alive.

In the UK a want to rejoin will be, through freedom, 
in the EU cage, freewill will rise in presence passion violent,
so, now, while Brexit divide is clear to see,
their hidden divide will continue to be....
