Short Iron Out Poems

Listen to poem:

Let the kinks and oddities remain esoteric
to herald that special uniqueness
that makes you, just you, as you are.
Resist the shapers and conformity grinders
that would smooth out the crumples,
iron out the creases and wrinkles.
Your texture becomes you when gripped,
Your spikes and bumps adorn, when worn displayed...

Sunday did not pan out,
an iron faith faltered.
It was a wane wobble.
it was cellular rust,
it was not enough iron.

Iron pills rattle in me like BB pellets,
my stools are obsidian artifacts.
More red wine, less whine.

The day got no better,
anemic confusions swirled.
I sucked upon nuts and bolts,
listened to Metallica,
had to iron-out yet more
non-ferrous unpleasantness....

Feeling ripped from the inside out
           numb angry feelings,thats no doubt
             but we will over come all the steam
              `cos me and skinbob are a team

                    Sleepness nights,we do have a conscience
                       til we can iron out on our confrontance
                         things will never again be the same
                           sadness and bitterness is the game ....

The dress that you gave me
My favourite one, hangs in my closet
Next to none, I have outgrown the colours
Hanging on to the memories hidden in its folds.

The smell of you and me
Washing out the blotches of the past
Trying to Iron out the creases 
From each and every line.

How easy life would have been
Had relationships been like clothes
If we could change them each day
Wiping out all you said and never understood.
