Premium Member Interrupting Two Black Panthers

I had never interrupted a black panther conversation before.
I stopped in my tracks, barely breathing.
Hoping neither of them had noticed me.
One of them had a sniffer high in the air.
I ducked behind a vine.
My heart was beating like a hummingbird’s wings.
I waited.


Premium Member I Love Smells

I love smells
Vicks and lemon comforts me
Cinnamon roll and pine cone 
Remind me of Christmas

Smells seduce me, entice me, delight me.
I use my sniffer to figure out the world.
Old Spice. Hello Daddy.
Sweet Honesty. My days of being young and cute.

Fresh paint. A new beginning.
Varnish. The one dresser I refinished.
Gasoline. Vanilla. Caramel. All with their own memories.
Parading around in my head, reminding me of days I thought I had lost.

Premium Member I Refuse to Teach Macbeth When It's Forty Degrees Outside

King Duncan wouldn't allow it
Chin sweat and air conditioning 
Sending me into a linguistic shaming spiral

Flavoursome mints and sparkling water
Won't fix this wet nightmare
Telling the steps to SHUT UP

Sock sniffer
Chemical bomb leather shoes
Armpits oceaning

Give me Nigeria 
Or the jungle
Where the birds don't sing

My wife has been reading The Return of the Native for ten years
But does owning an AK-47 count as knowledge?

To the bat cave

A Cautionary Nursery Rhyme

Solomon Grundy, Solomon Grundy, sniffer of glue, when offered, on Monday. The Tuesday was hash, a whopping great spliff; on Wednesday took coke, a generous sniff. For Thursday some crack, the dodgiest brand, and Friday’s dope needle was quite second-hand. When Saturday came, a massive OD; on Sunday it ended, this hedonist spree. In spite of the blurb you find on a packet, right up to the end, he thought he could hack it! ~
