A million tiny feet dropped from the sky, 
tap-danced on our handheld roof;
then your lips danced on mine....

It’s so easy to slip into the numbness,
of this handheld drug, scroll
myself away. 
Lately, I’ve slipped so far, so deep, 
into blissful emptiness, I’ve lost 
myself, my way....

While driving about 
One must think twice 
It really is not worth it 
To hold a handheld device 
Putting safety first 
One must pay close attention 
Always be cautious 
In order to prevent a sullen situation...

These handheld devices are out of control
Millions upon millions, could upset our inner soles
They've taken over our lives
Texting six days out of five
Is there a cure, nope, we're a doomed bunch of trolls...

Ageless Summery

a porch screen riddled
by fragmenting noon beacons
     ~~grandmas curtain hangs

chairs rock as handheld
fan waves midst squeaking floorboards
     ~~iced tea drinks glisten

Dented Aluminum 

once, kick the can was a lovely
game to play, but not nowadays

as shiny cellphones and prized
handheld games govern the day, 

what a heavy price we will pay,
dented aluminum decays away

our alumni cry out their tired eyes
as hourly the ozone melts, always

with the handheld electronic god leading
the people with heads tilted towards it's

dynamic of scurrying cockroaches,
oblivious to their surroundings,
marching ....over....around
and beside similar
species, questing

HOWLING OF HUMIDITY

No wind blows.
The sweat of a dandelion,
No seeds sold
To the gardener there.
No planting of pretty peacocks.
Umbrella wide above the sun,
Puddles gather but don’t sink
To the humid earth,
Dusty red and brown.
Flooded with handheld fans,
Flowers alive on origami paper,
Promises of windswept dreams
Of a lazy Southern sea and ice tea.

At once i can feel all those messy misgivings,
All the unanswered tears and the time consumed giving

Up higher and higer till we touch the sky,
to fall back down to Heaven's most nightmarish lie

It is not with or without that i find my deep purpose,
but handheld sweet kisses, joy end this or in this

My lover, my friend, my best critic no doubt,
I do love you completely, both inside and out...

the existence of known solubles
be they spiritual, molecular or imaginary
derivations, vain or divine

Protest
Implode
Disappear
Relinquish
Begrudge
Refuse
Rebel
Resist
Rebuke
Ignore
Mock
By chance, plot or plan

take maternity shops for example
pay phones
bill of rights?
alarm clocks
constitution?
looking up from our handheld
electronic god to greet passersbys

purge our souls
