Short Nozzle Poems

First, the lead,
Next, the nozzle,
Then, the tube of an ink....

Often dream of making unending love
Then wake up wanting a hug, even an old fossils
Any port in a pinch
Just need to clinch
To feel a warm body up against my nozzle...

Intend to kill yourself from
inside...?
cultivate
ignorance
 allow time to
arrogance ...
Wanna be
adult
nozzle
and demented ...?
 put silent
 the child
who lives in you
... abort it ...!...

Down by the pond,
you know, the one behind the bare hedgerow,
a pond dug out as a feature,
for condominiums to surround,
as if they just had to have,
a basic single nozzle fountain,
and an ornamental plastic swan
just to off-set the isolation
and disassociation
that comes with
the last urban hold-out
you will ever own or know....

The chaotic sounds of 
a conflicted emerging thought
pushed and pulled 
Impending anguish is wrought
Words jigsaw a
jagged puzzle
Likened a bursting hose with 
A busted nozzle
Firing out in a rushed frenzy
No time for sorting beginning from ending
Hoping to re-ingest 
as it spews out a flurried mess
Too late as it flows past cheeks
Knowing instantly the havoc it reeks ......

There was no “magic”
in the markers
only wax crayons
melting on a sidewalk

A bottle of LePage’s glue
soft rubber nozzle
clogged and stiff

Sticky fingers experimenting 
eight color “what if”  mixings
rainbow hues

Coloring books
lined challenges
attempting to contain
youthful exuberance
in artistic awakening

Color freed
childhood boxes
fading footprints
haunting city sidewalks

OBSCURE LIFE CHARACTERS

Hero
Your terror is palid..
fear is your greatest gesture!


Soldier
your loneliness
is greater than death...
smaller than an enigma,
a data..!

COMMANDED
The bigger the well
from the horror,
more exposed to
subordinate...

THIEF
eternal processor
of other people's gestures..
overeacting prophylaxis
poorly provided,
usurper of
compromising crumbs,,,

NOZZLE
verbose word
among deaf...
brilliant gesticulator
among blinds...!...
