Short Mame Poems

The tight rope act fell from the wire
Afterwards they had to retire
All broke-up and Mame
Had no one to blame
But a shifty Beddie eye supplier...

Some things would be better unsaid.
Some fads never should have survived.
Some books would be better unread.
Some plays never should be revived.

I saw a production today
And this show failed my comatose test.
If the years aren’t kind to a play,
My advice is – just give it a rest!...

Wings to fly In minds why
Days gone by
Ponder thoughts 
Like air sending
Human courts 
Through way for release
Inner parts rising
Unable to let go
Soul yearn post
Concept cataloged
Turned inside out
Mame shout
Unheard beginnings
Wishing God would  hear 
That one day 
Wounds deep heal...

Once when a fresh faced young girl named Mame,
    Who had a face-lift, when seeking fame.
    But the mirror's refraction
    Gave her no satisfaction.
    For her visage, portrayed an old dame.

Who knew old bossy
crooned on the streets of Anatevka?
She fiddled around as a marine;
and a matchmaker on Broadway.
This Golden Girl, Auntie Mame,
Bea Arthur, served her country
then lent her husky voice to debunk
Archie, putting him in his place.
This Archibald served in the Big One
fictitiously, but wow, the one
who’d jump into Maude’s skin
was a World War II Marine.

Animal

no love, no compassion
no thought other than my own saitsfaction
nothing treads on my mind, nothing penetrates my concrete heart
acid fills my veins, uncontrollable anger fills my brain
overrun by these feelings to kill and mame
more than a feeling,  instinct.
I feel it in my bones, feel it in my soul
cant hide this beast anymore
**** you **** the world
no conscious, no worries
****, kill. Live my only feelings
vicious and wild. Unstoppable and untameable
all hope is lost.
im an animal....
