Until one day, she came a cropper
She caught her stiletto in a drain
She screamed profanities to ease the pain
And punched a kindly, helpful copper...

They say I can't do anything 
Because I'm a girl.
I tell them bring on the challenge

They say It is improper behavior
For a women like myself
I say whats it to ya

For hundreds of generations
We have been known as the weaker sex
This year show them otherwise
Prove yourself proud to be a woman...

If we say something really sucks,
The meaning’s very clear,
For that expression, once improper,
Now’s a common smear.

But saying something sucks can be,
And I’ve not been imbibing,
A compliment – if it’s a vacuum
That one is describing.

So next time you hear someone say,
“Oh man, that really sucks!”
Make sure a Hoover’s not around
Before releasing clucks....

How to portray my heart?
On this limp sheet
How to tell you what I feel?
Express that you are my need

How to express my feelings?
Through these improper lines
How to make you understand that it is true?
Love is precious and not a bad sign

How to render my love?
Through this simple paper and pen
How to tell you that I love you?
And without you my world will darken...

Just wave goodbye again
and wheeze as you dance away
    in your bed head silly.
And I’ll wait here on the corner
in Pjs and your corduroy shirt
shamelessly improper in rush hour traffic.
And
     it came to me today
     in the bare soles of my feet
that no matter how many dreams I
filled with tulips and tears,
     wheezes and corduroy was the
only promise you ever made to me....

Still listening from lips,
a mute hearing with hands,
an improper metaphor.

  ……………………………………

In the frozen lake of eyes
a fish dies
in unread tears.

   ………………………………….

An upended
home of laments
in moon.

   ………………………………….

Imperfect proximity
of pillows.
sleep was distance apart.

     ……………………………..

Like poison ivy
a gnawing to itch
and an itch to gnaw.

No weapon formed
Against me 
Will prosper
Your behavior
Is improper
To God’s child
A showstopper.

God’s army
Is fighting
For me

I’m telling you
No weapon formed
Against me
Will prosper
Is improper
To God’s child
A showstopper.


No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in 
judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their 
vindication is from Me," declares the Lord.  Isaiah 54:17...
