Rubber band burning
Sandpaper against my teeth
Bagpipes warming up

Divinity

Divine footprints in the sand.
Divinity within your hands.
Sacredly encompassing where you stand.
Holding it all together like a rubber band....

Stripping the fingertips off your hand
Snaps quickly, just like a rubber band
You type so fast
Words that will last
Flying speed, it’s nothing like quicksand

STRETCH



I'M STRETCHING TIME LIKE A RUBBER-BAND
THAT REFUSES TO BREAK
TO THE END OF UNKNOWN BOUNDARIES
UNTIL THE CRACK THAT ENDS IT ALL
I FEEL

After stretching it a bit 
If any one of you, two 
Release the end you hold 
Will hit the other like a rubber band 
As love’s two ends 
Ended, one in yours 
And the other in your partner’s hand....

The quality of
The tape itself
May vary,
But the 1812 Overture
On an off-brand is better
Than ‘Mary had a little lamb’
On Maxell

The size of the rubber band
Is limiting
But six inches stretched to seven
Is wasted,
When four can be stretched to eleven
Quite well....

Epigram 3

 If the universe has a limit, will the limitation 
Be a wall, made of elastic a rubber band that
Can be overextended to the breaking point 
A balloon that can be pierced at will, or like
The horizon, you see it, but it can`t be reached.
And what is beyond the boundary?...

I wake up like a cat;
you know how a cat is. The way it
opens its eyes, not seeing anything
but looking into its muscle and bones,
then how it blinks slowly---so slow
that its eyelids wash its mind
of anything but satisfaction.
I even arch my back
just to stretch
that rubber band of pleasure....

"I have spent a lifetime separating,"
like the spaces between his fingers,

or the breaths between our lips-
his taut, 
like pulling back a rubber-band that snaps on mine
and hangs loose

or the riverbed of crimson sheets
between our lying figures-

turned away from our closed hearts
and open eyes...

There is a realm of consciousness
That occurs daily
This is something that tends to be relentless
, but if so maybe 
If I would cry twice 
My God from heaven will 
Offer his hand
Strapped to a rubber band
There is no way out of death 
Except through execution 
And anamoyous tips
Kissing words with no lips...

Caravan

You don’t pick radishes. 
You pull radishes, bent over
Workin’ backwards, ten hours. 

Rubber band ‘em by the dozen
Bushel full, boss pays eight bits. 
Twenty bushel good day. 
Band 99 cents at the Kroger.

Make it to America, land 
Of opportunity. Walk for 
Your children, pull for your
Grandchildren.

Army of flies
Waste away in lies

Chase away tomorrow
To feed on sorrow

The world fades to black
Love is what we lack

Green leaves turn gold
As the chaos begins to unfold

Army of flies find
Their swords to grind

No place to call home
So ever they roam

Rubber band belief
They'll never know relief

Army of flies
Waste away in lies

On the edge of the universe that’s rapidly expanding
 I see it all
Nebulas form 
Black holes consume
I see angels fall
Oceans violently crash 
Satellites orbit
A yellow dwarf gamma ray blast
Energy incredible
Radiation inevitable
Solar wave’s receivable
Speed of light inconceivable
The universe continues to expand
But one day will snap back like a rubber band...

.

      The morning's bright 
       lit the once black in 
             mine eyne

     The tips of mine digits 
on my hands and on mine feet 
pulled me like the rubber band
       in a mighty stretch

               mine thus
                yawned

       And after my wake
   nature had me reach for
                the you
           
              yesss you...

it burns
my punishment
for
speaking out
my leg thigh
feels the pain
my teeth throb
my eyes feel scratchy

heaven help me
because
Justice never will 

it feels like
a rubber band
around my
head

why?
won't they come and
stop crime

money stocks

Success is a strange definition:
Larger in the mind of an onlooker –
Smaller in the hands of a heritor –
In truth – without a measurement.

It can be exaggerated like a rubber band.
It can be dragged through the mud –
Rescued – cleaned and whitened up.
It can be far to sight or close at hand –

Pleasant to the eye on a resumé –
On a statement or ring like a melody
To the hearer of such rhapsody
Or with a shrug – be explained away....

Why do I have these twisted thoughts?
That leave me stretched out like a used rubber band.
So I must beware the voice inside my head,
My instincts tell me to act fast…
But I'm too scared to move,
Can't you help me?

The voice echoes within my skull,
Steering me into madness,
Every word and every action controlled by it.

Even though I want to try,
Should I just give up to this madness? 

Searching for an answer until it forces me to surrender....

Personal and spiritual growth
is like a rubber band ...

Stretched beyond our limits, 
or so we think .... we'll snap

We need only to remember .... 
Who is doing the stretching

For He will not take us farther
beyond what we are able to endure

It hurts, its uncomfortable, we may even cry
but we come out stronger for it

We grow in wisdom, we grow in love
as to what others are going through

Yes, that rubber band may stretch
but it will never break in His loving Hands...
