Short Full Scale Poems

Art must mount a full-scale attack on language itself,
by means of language and its surrogates, on behalf of the standard of silence.
Susan Sontag.




I talk too much.

The Things are:
a flower
a grain of sand
a spark.

And all together....

WE SAIL



                              We Sail
               No, Bail!
                                            Shark tail
                      Full scale

Ocean’s calm sea, we sail. No, bail! Splash!
Cruel, cold steel eyes.  Shark tail! Full scale slash!

My wife and I have a dream
to open a hair salon as a team

Some people think it will fail
going to start small then go full-scale

With a shampoo,haircut and blowdry
all we can is do give it a try

It wont be easy, but it wont be hard
I will be making a flyer and a business card

We have set the plan in action
waiting until we see their reaction

With all this red tape, you want to scream
but we can't give up,this is our dream...

Full scale sleep. 
Where is it? 
What is it? 
Can you buy it at a grocery?

Oh, wow, magic Matt.
You are selling it!
Today, but only to the first customer!

And this one is a worry-free pill?
It does sound wonderful. Will these two pills 
together give me a worry-free good night’s full scale sleep?

Will you take a check and 
promise to not try and
cash it until tomorrow?

Sure.
The full amount.
Right here.
Right now.

Escaping others reality
Which is not mine
Capturing a dream and happily rolling with her.

Nuances elaborating her continuity each night,
Dazzling in her love for me, 
Soul self throwing ideals at me in glorious ways

Designing a world of hope and optimism
That brings me to my full-scale angel self
In my dreams nightly

Allowing me to endure earthly's mundane daily existence
Knowing it is not my real world,
Carrying me gently until I reach home....

Pray Without Ceasing
Miracle Man
December 12, 2023 

The world has become filled, 
with hatred and division.
Many times we let pettiness,
impair our good vision.

Compromise is a word,
most no longer embrace.
Which leads us full scale,
in our effort to abase.

We find it hard to ask,
so instead, we demand.
Seeking an advantage, 
to gain the upper hand.

As a nation we’ve become,
morally bankrupt today.
Prayer changes things,
but too many don’t pray.
