Sitting On a Toilet

Unable to relax

Unable to release

Crushing capitalism enveloping me

Feeling tight

If I release will they come after me?

your song we still sing
as we escape twinned clutches

A cigarette burn hole
with floating memories
crushing the ashy edges.

God, please quit smoking by

A moldering past
Alas—a day to die for

Street Eats of Sizzling Meat

Following the food truck trend,
Peruvian fare:
Beef, chorizo, hot dog, eggs
crushing the limp bun—
one “superburger,”
carne clogged.
Split.

Shook up shaking
the bigot tree

they them me

Too Heavy For the Levee

There once was a girl on the levee
Who by anyone's judgment was heavy
She tried to get here
By crossing the pier
But ended up crushing the Chevy

Blind Date

Thus crushing on her blind date
Causes her to knock over the plate
The food crashes to the floor
Her date runs out the door
So, she tries to determine her fate

crushing all the love and all the passion

You talk with condensing tones
Crushing down on shaken bones.
You whisper secrets in my ears
That you say I had no right to hear
Your claws dig deeper year by year.

The sun rises each day
even though I am experiencing
crushing grief, I can see it and
cling to the hope that one day
seeing a new day begin

Chad coats Carla
Carla crazily cries
Cars crash crushing carts

Blinding

My dream has to wait.
For another night,
another world.

For a blow 
that will get rid of the dirt 
crushing innocence 
of those who dream.

Meanwhile...
Pick up the fight.

Sour Grapes

You gave gifts of sour grapes, crushing spirit underfoot. 

Transforming bitterness to fine sweet wine, I bade you dine with me, 

Yet, I feast alone, at the banqueting table tonight.

whirlpool 
swirling 
round 
sucking the 
passing ships 
down into the 
dark deeps of the 
angry sea 
crushing the little
boat underneath of
it's massive murky 
waters of despair
