dogs go crazy...

flutters in a bare tree --
the sound of geese...

Saved the World today
In the supermarket
All I had to do 
Was bring my own plastic bag
No special powers required
On this occasion...

A long-winded breeze
carry a blue plastic bag
toward the sky.
I look
at strength
in sun's heat.
Of the warmest season
of the year....

something grabs my leg

                          plastic bag churned by the tide

                                 ocean clings for life...

little mazes of prison,
a plastic bag dragged by wind,
the holes in that bag are my equal.

perished in circumstances,
pulled into oblivion rescued
by it's Henchmen layered in chains....

like a balloon
a wind blown
plastic bag
maddeningly
nomadically
crosses 
Saharan
sands

polymer
makes for
eternal 
travel
nothing
to stand
to stop

while
pyramids

slowly


erode...

A drug dealer, some wasted cash, a plastic bag,
a lighter, a glass tube, some foil, a syringe,
a glass pipe, toxic crystals, dilated eyes,
endorphins, paranoia, addiction,
a pandemic, Crystal Death; harsh poison!...

I took seven xanax
and just before retiring to bed
I secured a plastic bag around my head.
As you read this now, I'm most likely dead.
I most likely died very peacefully.
The best way to die is to die in your sleep....

A plastic bag appeared in my dream,
Polluting my thoughts of love
A sign or trickery it may seem
Sent from way above

I look outside and see the garden
My face begins to sag
Oh Lord, I beg your pardon
A rose in a plastic bag...

Brown paper package
New to the action
Grocery store plastic bag
Stack can goods and bottles
Customer broken sack
Fallen on floor broken bottle of ketchup
"clean-up in Asile 6"

PLASTIC     BAG     MEETS     TERMINATOR



I give the illusion of strength and security
But I’m only plastic-moulded and mostly empty of all thought,
Full of hot air and entirely transparent: 
And I’m afraid that I can’t act,

Said the bag to Arnie
Or said Arnie to the bag....

I was going to write you a poem
but my cat lay in the road.
I scraped up his remains with a shovel
paced them in a plastic bag,
dropped it into a dumpster.

I was going to write you a poem
but in my fridge is a half can of cat food,
with a cellophane lid,
useless and taking up space....

of paper unwrapping
that cloud wisp of wisping cloud
that turns to eagle talon
that acrobat plastic bag
flirting with the breeze
scampering ant trying to avoid the falling droplet
curled leaves that adorn
the face of tree forlorn
cursing clouds
as the splinter's emerge
written on back yard step...

Red Kite

We walked in the woods ,
There was a red kite 
Mobbed by crows .
Plastic bag 
Rattling
On the hawthorne
Dogshit on the 
Treads of 
A small pair of shoes .
But we walk on 
Into the sunlight 
Wash ourselves down
And don’t look back.
Another time will
Come 
We will make 
A different day....

You reside betwix 
The center point 
Where light no longer emanates 

Like Firework Rocket's thrust skyward into the ether 
Or Carnival Goldfish trapped inside a plastic bag
Swimming round and round

In search of a place called home
To take shelter from the impending thunderstorms 
Clouding the horizon...

the tree ensconce in ice will fare bravely today as always nature takes over for centuries
and the mere imagination of men nothing to compare to the force of the unknown
a sphinx guarding the pyramids just a mirage of the past
as a kite flying the sky for a minute is only a plastic bag encroaching its branches...

At the end of winter
the bare branches of
my trees
(that is, these ones which the window
can see)
hold up a little balloon
(that is, with a color of
sun for this season).
Most likely a little plastic bag with a color
actual or
(that is, today I am 
charmed)
at the end of winter 
thy footprints begin....

They brought me home in a plastic bag
The whiteness of it nearly made me gag.
I was optimistic when they took me out.
But then a woman began to shout.

Why would you bring me this kind of junk?
I got re-bagged and thrown in a trunk.
Trunk got hot and I melted so badly.
This is no way to treat milk chocolate candy!...

DOG AND PLASTIC BAG
 -  THE END

My dog went after a  plastic bag one day
Caught it in  mid-flight, I’d say
Stopped its ascent  to greater glory
But that’s not the  end of the story
Bag got caught on  the poor dog’s head
After a struggle the  dog was dead
Sorry, no more poems  about bag or dog
To amuse and hold  readers agog...

like the feel of wood swooning to seas touch
the scrape of knife on plate
slow mo clouds on breeze unsure
hushing trees
gargled chuckles of seagull pass
acetically addictive
glass alps projectile vomit
from misunderstood sand
sea murmurs of deeps untook
plastic bag schooners
seaweed popping pimples
and tears
i remember the tears...

September evening.

late September, the eve
is hot and windless
to warm for walking
as darkness descends 
dust on pavements and
fallen leaves bear witness
to nature's tiredness
the local shop saves light
ashen faces
optimistic summer tan
does not last long
a folded plastic bag
four bottles of beer, please 
and crisp

Everyone’s an artist,
snug inside their sheets.
Awakened by our sleeping minds,
subconscious finds its feet.

Dancing like a plastic bag
caught in a gust of wind,
expanding like a child’s balloon
unfolding from within.

Fragmented dreams
when you were young
still linger to this day.

Inside the mind
grand paintings hung
forgotten smiles you’ve saved....

The cashier guy was eyeing her
In ways enthusiastic.
She thought that he was cute as well;
His smile was just fantastic.

She took her ponytail apart,
Removing the elastic;
And struck a sexy pose, a move
A bit extreme and drastic.

Alas, it didn’t work because
He uttered, quite sarcastic.
“Calm down there, miss – and would you like
A paper bag or plastic?”...
