Short Mandible Poems

Jaw
Biting
And chewing
Our skull hinges
Some people clench them
Masticating
Mandible
Yawning

Trump Polygamous

Horrible Trump prefers to be polygamous,
Resulting in him becoming some sourpuss;
Likes to handle;
Even mandible,
And when he has gone we will never miss.

Jim Horn

Why do people like putting up with
all of Trump's absurdities anyway?...

Pardon my parlay
but I haven't invested
or infested the time to
infiltrate or be a tart

only because 
sweet tarts are much
maligned
for tempo of mandible
treatment
and cavities of the 
soul

so when the schucking of skin
begins again
I'll wish for corn syrup
splashing all over
your wheat husk

I am diabetic....

Stupid ants
Wreck each other
Kill yourselves
As none other

Repeated cycle
All in vain
Teach another
Undue pain

Who will play
King of the hill
When one is never
Better still

Understand
The pretense being
He can never
Be all seeing

Wrest each mandible
From the other
Lay these weapons
Down asunder

Was the whole
All worth the end
Does the act
In worth amend?...

Adept in riling.
You cannot chew the thoughts.
There was no mandible.

This double-edged 
cutlass. The curvy contour

denude the trees.

Naivete.
Who was competent enough 
to disconnect the sparring 
bulls. Disingenuous, you
were not interested to –

design a stillness as a
requiem for the trailing dazzlers.

Monsters may not want blood,
and they may not have claws,
nor the mandible, drooping—
the smiling jaws;
without scales or hair,
even growling, I dare
say that monsters may lurk
deep inside you.

Still, without teeth
they may gnaw at your soul;
without mouths, they may take you
and swallow you whole,
or leave you in tact
save a broadening hole
that pulls you inside
and reminds you....
