He’s our Jehovah Jireh

54 years Anniversary 2020
I do not drive nor can I hear 
my anal vices I will bear
exhausted as I wake each day
to take a walk my mind will stray 
but you are here to fill out time
I love you at each day we age 
the loss of anger and of rage
to sit outside and watch the birds
my serene haven without words...

Here are your choices I tell my boss.
I can fill out paperwork and ask for that Friday off
Or I can call you that morning and pretend to be sick.
Which do you prefer?

I prefer to know ahead of time, she replies.
Good choice I think.
I think it guarantees she will grant the request.
But I am wrong.
So I have to call in sick that morning.
We both laugh....

For my son Omar  
  
Exterminated by the tree’s light  
it is not oppressed.  
The roots fill out and dry off.  
The faces evaporate beneath  
their masks.  
The birds adhere to the wind.  
The sky hits the floor  
like a lost echo.  
The fog is everything  
to man's harvest.  
The stars have neither light  
nor form.  
The world is illuminated when I pass....

Wife is helping her husband fill out the forms for labs.
It says doctor’s name she tells him.
I can read! He snaps.
So put it down, she says.
I don’t know the doctor’s name.
Davis, says she.
Then she leans in closer.
Put no there. Put yes there, check that box. Your blood type is B.
Where do I put that? He asks.
I feel sorry for his wife who has now also become his mother....

go get that
have a seat there
come over here
fill out that
 fill this up 
bring that back

stoop down low
bend your knees
use your back 
hold on to this
WAIT!!!! JUST A DOG GONE MINUTE 
I DON"T WANT TO SEEM TO BE MEAN
BUT I AM A MAN !!!
not a dam,n machine...

Turning slow and twisting deeper 
changes lurk and often seep 
holding litmus ever tighter 
lifting hope above the light 

crystal snifter's promise linger 
soft tip curls of comfort  lain 
precious hues  sifting yellow 
warming up  unto the pain 

wistful songs fill out the chasm 
drinking in dark shades of blue 
shifting winds drift off the boundary 
rampant bids the night adieu...

'Tis A Rear Find

Absent-minded Dr. Smythe Atherten,
about to fill out my prescription when
from his shirt pocket pulled out,
"My thermometer!", did shout,
He oddly said, "Someone's rear has my pen?!"

All of you out there 
    with pens in hand 
ready to write your poems 
   Here is another one 
   being sent out to you 
from the Lower East Side of 
     NYC 
Wars continue in the world 
   Abused animals and children 
fill out television screen 
Yet I am quite sure 
   all of you out there in the darkness 
are ready to put up a fight 
   with your pen and paper handy 
You, I am sure will struggle for something 
   better!...

For years the way goes north 
And turns away till its round
Thousand of hundreds it may take
For the right word to be found
It comes to a master piece 
And the world will cherish his memories 
The years may change so may the seasons
Leaves may die, get a new life, and fill out the naked trees
Yet he smiles his way in the white floor
With his dynamic thoughts and hands
For it may be just a while
Until again he joins his fellow sands...

Just to see the doc, you have to fill out a questionnaire. 
It's an N.I.H. mandate that really isn't fair.
You're required to cry your heart out, and list every secret, 
And hope the ones reading it will also quietly keep it.

How the N.I.H. uses data, no one knows for sure,
But ask them what they do and they'll quickly show you the door.
To get the Medicare benefits,  you have to follow rules.
It seems that the N.I.H. is making us look like fools....

Beware of Poets
Don`t trust a poet` s declaration of love 
it is the words he means, the turn of a phrase
you just happen to be there as he looks you in 
the eyes thinking; I have to write down that
before I forget it
Sometimes he finds a serviette borrow a pen
writes down words you thought was meant for you.
Drinking coffee with you, he appears restless
 because he wants to go home and
 fill out the poem he composed, alas he is not 
thinking of you but of a wider audience...
