Short Incapacitated Poems

I didn’t hear any murmuring.
Thank God Vivek had to do it for me
We were “functionally incapacitated” as they say
In the medicinal terminology
One thing I’m never gonna be...

Short memory, what was I trying to remember
This is getting serious, don't remember my gender
In the ladies washroom
They all screamed and fumed
Saw some sights but incapacitated I was rendered...

A very short memory, what was I trying to remember
This is getting serious, don't remember my gender
In the ladies washroom
They all screamed and fumed
Saw some sights but incapacitated I was rendered...

Yawning makes you look like an absolute goof
We can see what you had for breakfast and your missing tooth
You're incapacitated
Visions of the first girl you dated
And all the naughtiness you were guilty of during your youth...

To be further complete
it is dramatically necessary
captivating essence,
present hope,
adaptive ethics,
constant criticism,
coherent strength,
superconscious love,
wise life...
without that we are
practically incapacitated
to live joyfully...!...

The tombstone carves itself
When you are ready to embark
On an underground journey
Where your body fades
But your soul survives
Your name is being spelled out
In charming calligraphy
And as the gravestone crafts 2005
You are incapacitated with fatality...

In the caverns of mountains pathos fathom
Pronominal passages of perils pleasures
In a serene valley in the mountain sides
Collides while window shopping incapacitated boulders
About to fall measured alluring valleys sunbrite
Creases craving lines vertical I recoup regroupings
Of polarized statically referenced duty
I RECOUP REGROUPING OF POLARIZED STATIS

I got caught unaware
In an attempt to escape
The ground was so slippery
I could not run smoothly
Because I was falling quickly
Now I am have been rendered incapacitated
Locked up in the prison of your heart
With no lawyer to advocate
Or plead on my behalf
I have been sent to life imprisonment
To forever remain in your heart
Because I am now a prisoner of your  love

Explain yourself
Justify your actions

She begins shutting down
She can hear her inside voices whimpering

I want an answer, you idiot.
What is wrong with you, you moron?

She is in a fetal position now.
Incapacitated and fearful.

All he sees is her silence 
He is disgusted by it.

When they met she was a light.
She had a joy.

She has lost all of that.
He is angry now.

What is wrong with her?...

                                                lost, incapacitated

                                      faltering, immobilizing, forfeiting

                                            trap, maze, tunnel, race

                                         enduring, trusting, expecting

                                             empowered, confident

                                                          hope...

Africa My Homeland

I am the face 
fixed on a map
A space
with boundary, leaving no gap
I am a homeland
desecrated when I was abducted from my rightful nation
A brand
with a name which precedes my reputation
I am a continent
incapacitated not to live up to his flair
A dissident
doors shut daily to his face unless I straightened my hair
I am  a riddle
narrated to my kids stuck in Britain, France and America
A bridle
used only by Africans for Africa...

Experiencing the dreaded silent scream again.
Doing my best to holler out my anxiety.
I may have a heart attack I think.
My heart is racing like it just lost the Triple Crown.
Fear has me incapacitated.
This nightmare is perpetually long. 
I cannot handle much more of it.
I have a stern talk to my imagination upon awakening.
You are going to kill me for real!  I warn her.
She smirks, gloats, and flits away, ignoring my requests.
Reminding me of my children....
