 but marriage is definitely an eye-opener....

Heavy lids held open with weighted mug of crushed beans.

Egg Opener - Questionku

Delicate shells
Chickens lay their young
Who used the sledge hammer...

my can opener fiasco
typewriter eaten up by word processors
computer cookies but can you eat them?...

Spectacles one said,

A C one said,

Wheels one said,

Electricity one said,

At once,I say none,

But pen-

The Key World opener!...

I am AI
I think I can
I can AI
It's sealed within me
I will AI
Only when
The cupboard is bare
And the can opener is handy
My AI is canned,
as primordial soup
Campbell's....

The Blue Jays home opener is April 8th
Weatherman's predicts snow, hate... hate... hate
Not civilized for sure
Outlook's damn poor
The world's topsy turvy, sure am irate...

I'm scared about a bladder overflow.
I'm recently leaving through your scarecrow.
Be shrewd if you go around the corner.
Yellow snow should serve as eye-opener.

Struggles come
Life isn’t always easy
I work and work
Grumbling until it hits me
I don’t have to do this stuff
God blessed me so I get to!

I awake
my mouth is dry as a rivers bed
water, water, water
head dizzy, fuzzy
hands a shaking 
cigs and asprin for breakfast
i open a beer and smoke a joint
a shot of whiskey for an eye opener
feeling better a 12 pack later
before i know it
i am caught up in
my daily buzz...

TRUTH

don’t dare speak the truth
there will be subtle thunder
as your words hit home
areas thought innocent
were seeded    now breaking forth

storm is upon you
as fits your life’s position
blasts both great or small
truth is a can opener
a can filled with subterfuge...

Bottle opener,
For the bottled up soul.
Without this love,
Inside building ,
Expanding  release,
And
Explode,
To the place-
Without,
Life?

P.S. 
Funny in a seroius thought,
More one shares to a friend,
More one is revealed daily living.
Sent more e-mails to a friend
And just flow within-...

Its a memorable journey that had to be taken
Its a eye opener
Its a knowledge that had always been there

Its about faith
Its about Christianity
Its about cultural norms

It challenges the mind 
It motivates the inner self
It gathers the thoughts

Its about the past
Its about the present
Its about the future...

Pain.
I rise before dawn
i began smoking cigs
i take a piss
get a drink of water
take a shot of gin
for an eye opener
i relax
sipping beer
the rest of the day
my head feels fuzzy
i stand i get dizzy
by noon
i'm pissing on myself
time for speed
to reawake
fill up my lungs with smoke
i get up 
i fall down
can you fill my pain?...

Helter-skelter, upper-downer, 
Bigger smaller, richer poorer
Bitter sweeter, kinder meaner
Sifter opener, thicker thinner.

Meek or dumb, pinky and thumb
Top or bottom, height and fathom.
Head or toe, friend and foe
Day or night, left and right.

Larry scoops Moe; Moe swoops Curly
Curly chunks Larry; Larry yanks Moe....

finding my way 
through my life 
trying to find 
where I wanna be

this feeling of
having something
makes me want 
 
it, make
me make something 
out nothing
turn a unbeliever 
to a God forgiver

a eye opener a 
motived moving
machine

I gotta get it 
this fame of 
bright lights

 
flashing like a star
in the sky...

She was supposed to be the office underdog.
She had less experience than the rest of us.
Less credentials than the mail opener.
No one told her she was not supposed to come in 
acting like the overdog.
She strutted, bragged, barked, demanded.
Correcting the rest of us.
Showing off knowledge that was minimal.
She did not last the week....

When will it happen that
in an assemblage of
two or three computers,
in a house wired badly
by a drunken electrician
twenty years before, a
steady wave pulse emerges
between the dishwasher, 
and the espresso machine 
and connects to the shorted
out garage door opener that
a persona will appear and
announce to the startled
occupant of the house,
"I am here"...

Tampered photo, 
Tampered life, 
Born elite,
Married Strife.
Never one mans wife.
Wed to the nation,
System creation.
Freedom lost.
Chosen, at what cost?
Wishful eloper,
Like the in law shirker.
Mother,
Worker,
Food bank opener.
Country ambassador,
The monarchies future.
Press hounded
Hunted creature
Populism fall girl
No one to catch her....

a dangerous makeup
painful in its entirety
with no good compensation:
An Endanger of Life!

a scoffing-belief
extra cost for survival
its value nothing can buy:
A Worthless Risk!

a sinful poison
thereby a fool is known
knowledge alone its antidote:
An Eye-opener born by pain!

ignorance
cost me much
and much cost me more
behold very much I now know....

Dad and I dug
for treasure
in the backyard.
My eyes lit up at
the can opener,
it glimmered silver in the earth-
except for the rusty parts.

He made another hole
by the white tree
and I polished off
the rock, that was
so smooth-
except where it was rough.

In the rubble at the bottom,
I found a penny caked in dirt,
so old,
it must have been worth
a fortune....

ON THE KNIFE EDGE


City without electricity - a  lost town  - 
Phones don’t work, internet’s down.

Food spoils in freezer, coffee can’t perk;
Traffic lights out, everybody’s a jerk.

Elevators don’t work  -  gotta climb, climb: 
And read fast before sun-down  time.

Learn to cook over a candle,
Electric can-opener? Use the handle.

Back to the stone age in a second
Life’s not as easy as you reckoned....

Smile for the camera
You are about to take the picture
Which one?
The outstanding one
So I decided to smile,

This is just an eye opener
Open those eyes 
This is just a curve ball
Bend with it
This is just a one way path
Formulate those sequences
You are about to finish that sentence,

Smile for the audiences 
You are about to show them
What?
The truth
So I decided to acknowledge myself....
