Beanie

When you see a 
cracked AD on 
your letters or 
on small parcels with no 
address that’s my 
beanie who did it.

Baby bakers with smoked trout
apple pig blankets
Parma ham goats cheese parcels
with falafel bites
Waldorf salad dip
And a Bucks

In England it is almost twelve o'clock 
I just saw Santa Claus in his red smock
He left parcels galore
Outside of my front door
Asked him in, but he said his lips were sore....

Short Trip
Dr. James E. Martin
©January, 2014

His body got ahead of his feet.
The ground and his head did meet.
It raised a huge bump,
His parcels he did drop,
This act he hoped he’d not repeat!...

Here's a tale of the future, it's 
Big, things from small parcels, bits
called Nanoparticles, new natural,
We'll dance their syncopation as normal,
Yes, "From little things big things grow!"
How far shall we with Nanos go?
Duty-free DIY helpful, it's 
Our future ahead, Nano bits!...

Presents


     Precious gifts a packing,

     Pretty christmas wrapping,

     Parents busy stacking,

     Presents piled by the tree.

     Parcels for family,

     Placed with love carefully.

     Putting one just for me!

We’re All Parcels 

Everyone is a precious parcel perfectly wrapped
There’s something hidden below the layers
Inside us all a gift that’s trapped.
Will your present for the world stay hidden?
Or will you accidentally discover it and let it out?
Look inside your heart and set it free.

Spendthrift...Skinflint

                              spendthrift
                       extravagant, wasteful
                  buying, shopping, squandering
               presents, parcels, deposits, interest, 
                    counting, banking, hoarding
                            tightfisted, miserly
                                    skinflint...

Great heights, great slopes
Uneven seems the road
Nothing can be seen beyond a point
What exists there?


Is it a beginning?
Or an end?
Of happiness or sorrow?
Success or failure?

Will it be a rum mystery?
Or the trodden steps of the marked destiny?
Hopes and despair
Turns and twists

All exist in the patterned parcels of life
And he has to delve out
The simple ways of happiness
In life....

We’re watching Saturday
Morning cookery
On TV; wide-eyed
Amateurs impressing
Mock-military judges
With parcels and fools
And baskets and coulis
And ganaches and jus.
My wife likes a recipe
And asks me to record
It for posterity and for dinner.
But I couldn’t care less
About eggs julienne
Because it’s coming up
To half past ten
And my head is screaming
“Run for the muffin!
Run for the muffin!”...

Thin black man
Yiou touched my heart,delivering my parcels
Thin black man from Trinidad
Not smug and conceited in a grey suit
Still polite because your ancestors were slaves
Who could be kicked or even killed
Yet in you it seems a virtue
Creating space for grace
Or for evil.
I’d like to hold your arm and talk
But you’re running off
More deliveries
Good you have a job
Hope all goes well for you
Smiling face like God on day release...

Cheer compels choice
Play parcels poise
Vouch vacuum voice


Sit simply still
Welcome wise will
Notice nice nil


Dream dance drills dose
Clever charms close
Play picture pose


Freeze-frame fluid feel
Dance dizzy deals
Hidden hope heals


Live love lively
Bear boom brightly
Trace touch tightly


Frame focus fine
Niche nurtures nine
See sacred signs


Mystic minds meet
Glory grace greets
Sweet-sour streets

Who is my neighbour after all?
The one who shares the boundary wall,

who lets his cat crap on my grass
and parks so badly I can’t pass.

Whose curtains twitch from morn till night
in making sure that we’re all right.

Puts out my bins when I’m away,
collects my parcels every day.

Good times or bad, through straights and bends; 
my neighbours are my closest friends.

Listen to poem:

Do not send parcels to... Parcels Island.
They will be sent right back.
No one's there, 'cept a man and his dog,
And they live in a shack.

Do not send money to... Money Island.
It will be sent right back.
No one's there 'cept a baby in a cradle.
She's missing mum so black.

Do not send love to... The Love Island,
But keep the whole lot to yourself.
Then you won't cry when you're not a bride
And left there on the shelf.
