I'm only human
with plenty of emotions
with working tear duct...

Silence is golden,
And to help enforce this fact,
Duct tape is silver!...

When you’re eat up with stupid,
Duct tape can’t keep you muted.
It won’t fix senseless quips,
But it will muffle your lips.
So, there’s no hope for the dim-witted....

I once had full hips which were ship shape
and bosoms which rose without duct tape
but now those who see me
pray God no bikini!
Having nightmares of what will escape....

Tend to forget things before leaving home
my brain fog even affecting my poems
just needed some sole
and a duct tape roll
on my head is now some memory foam.

dog ears I have
loud sounds are hell
heating duct blowers distract me
Ouch! Is that the sound of a bell?
music piped in puts me over the edge.
I am barely hanging onto insanity’s ledge....

tears melt like flowing lava
tumultuous heart silent 
skipping beats
tightened throat vacant mind
blood drained
tears froze in duct blinded soul

super glue isn't super enough
masking tape just won't mask
duct tape isn't strong enough
for the quake that caused these cracks

nothing can hold it together
the crevices are too deep
no wonders of modern science
a miracle adhesive is what I need...

Numby Dumby splat on a wall,
Numby Dumby had a hard fall.

All the bond mighty, 
and all the tape duct
couldn't fix Numby Dumby
and this truly sucks




* I know 
this isn't 
ABC poetry 
but 
somehow, 
I can't 
seem to 
change it. 
Oh well...

my heart
doesn't attack
but a crack
creates
a cause
to break

trying 
applying
super glue
duct tape too
but to mend
in the end

to fix
the fissure
needs not
tape nor glue
to hold my heart
together

simply
to  
forever
hold
and hug
you...

I have seen dreams before i was even born
I come to live them, joyful or forlorn
Looking through the mirror of the eyes
What kind of tear i am is no surprise
Taking refuge in the darkness of the duct
                         I wait
                    
               To be Continued...

There is a giant piece of duct tape around my finger today,
To remind me to do something.
Probably important.
I used to keep a piece of string to do the same thing,
But it frazzled and frizzled and fell off after two days.
I know it must be insanely important. I wish I knew what it was....

Only the things we have lost,
and misplaced still matter.

Hoarders know how the future
looks like an empty room.

Tomorrow is hung together
on old key rings,
our words duct-taped
to a garage microwave oven.

A god you can imagine
adds you as a future thought
to whatever comes next....

I had the neurosurgeon do a little utility work in my head.
The electricity in there had somewhat gone dead.
And the duct that dripped a driblet of water on my brain ~
she was able to fixed with great industry and pain.
But as to how that foul gas smell got there ~
she was at odds to explain....

Haunting pink cloud wisp afloat
cause for green earth souls to gloat 
sun-drenched valley’s red throat whine 
tear duct sheds a moist turf pine 
blue sky fountain, airborne stream
yellow grass whets spring well dream 
haunting pink cloud wisp afloat

The greenery surrounds...
Like a tint of nature 
Blue moon floating in pure white clouds 
Invasion of the black hole 
A tear duct so deep...so sexy 
Lashes long, spread perfectly so 
Framed of peachy skin 
Half winked and gorgeously shaped...
With a mild soft wind above the brow 
Fascinated...I am...

“Necessity is the mother of invention,”
Making the case for improvisation,
Seafarers would say, “jerry-rigging,”
Results can often create a sensation.
Using what’s at hand to get a job done
Sometimes new and better ways ensue
I’ve been known to fix it with duct tape
As a last resort, I’ve used Elmer’s glue.

only the things we have lost
and misplaced still matter
tomorrow is hung on old key rings
unused words duct-taped
to a gathering silence
rubber bands perish in sunlight
allow blooms to weep
their blessings
in the defunct circuitry
of a garage microwave oven
the god you can imagine

pins you to a future thought
of whatever comes next...

Kreepy Crawley sprung a hole
Without suction it won't roll
To the shop it did go and stood (I had already thought about duct tape)
PVC pipe, glue, just like new very good...(And cheap)

Sometimes the men in our lives
Grate, irritate, and annoy
But all in all it is great just to 
Have a man about the house


(Haven't the foggiest what this is)...

Tattered Grey -
  It bends against an unkind wind;
  An ugly thing so commonplace,
    Against a  leaky corner.
A thing so grand has never been
  So thin -
And yet it hangs;
Against the heavens weathered attempts
   To prove it wrong.
      It lasts so long -
Holds tightly, oh so tightly;
   Not squandering it’s mighty will -
 Duct tape on a windowsill....
