Don’t forget the insect repellent
Mosquitoes can cause such discontent
These bugs make me itch
Watch me swat and twitch
The cost of “Off” is money well spent
Written April 3, 2014
on a soapbox
constantly yelling
black and white
statements concerning
what one should do
to be considered normal
became an unhealthy
ritual among the two
repellent souls brought
together by chance long
ago in a land far far away
indonesian beaches and
days of infinite hunger
drunk and repellent
I am again
there’s no time for fishy flattery
'cause god called a horseman
flogging a dead horse
outlaw of the oscillation nation
playing with matches
by the gas-works
and I have this foreboding
of foreign foods
and fishmonger hooks
A squirrel with an acorn clenched
Between his tiny teeth
Ran past me to some shrubbery
And hid himself beneath.
He looked so cute it made me think
Suppose he was a rat;
I wouldn’t like it half as much
In nearby habitat.
Though both are rodents, in this case
Some prejudice prevails,
For charming or repellent seems
To rest upon their tails!
I'm just a girl
Broken and tainted
Survived by art
Beauty and language
One in the crowd
A face in the bunch
If I don't find my voice
They'll have me for lunch
Surviving in shadows
Of the in between
A repellent of light
Tucked in my regime
The sun being strength
And rays a clear path
My skin, a pure white
The clouds, how they laugh
Three performers enter the room.
Two children.
One adult.
The children stand like two scarecrows in a rice field.
The adult takes a can and sprays the children;
careful not to miss a spot.
The children put their hands down and prepare to exit,
The adult whispers,
“they’re everywhere”.

Look in a mirror and see who you are
Left on your skin is one big scar
Meant to remind you of the day
You tried to put yourself away
Showing others of your sins
Making you look like an ungodly trash bin
Acting as a repellent to your happiness
Surrounded by people and their plentifulness
An ugly thing you wear like a crown
Look in the mirror, it's called a frown
??
If birds of a feather flock together
altho' it's a fact
how do opposites
like you and I attract?
North and south two similar poles
on opposing sides of the street
repel and push each other away
and so the twain shall never meet.
If there's a magnetic attraction
between you and me
then opposite poles be we
and as I recall you're not repellent at all
in truth quite the magnetic personality.
What I enjoy might very well be
Something you despise.
The things that light me up may be
Unpleasant to your eyes.
But that’s what makes the world go round;
Variety’s the spice.
What you find unappealing
Could, to me, be paradise.
There are no rights or wrongs when you
Account for someone’s taste.
Endeavors at persuasion,
In most cases, are a waste.
It’s best for all to nod our heads,
Accepting as a fact
That what one finds repellent
May another thus attract.
