Get someone to share it with boy....

Water bubbles runs across
The stainless steel pan
Rinses the suds away
Memories remain though...

Stainless steel pot is bubbling
On top of the fire
Inside my tasty sour soup
Of onions, pork, yam
Tamarind and spice
A Pinoy
Treat!...

Wide
The path
Where your love
And stainless heart
Blooming with the rose
To wake as one
Existence
In our
Life

elevator's doors
silently close shut
mirrored stainless steel

immaculate woman
dabs tears in reflection ...

Sticky mammogram			
The dreaded breast biopsy
Little prick and burn.
Warm flesh on cold stainless steel
The breathless waiting begins....

Amtrak with equipment’s endowed
Each car comes with stainless steel shroud
Yet my quiet ride
Was sadly denied
By announcement volumes too loud...

With a plastic and stainless steel joint
Which was his very authentic point
A Viagra pill, he!
The erection up_glee
Then a plastic and stainless disjoint...

he sits so smug 
       and condescending there

in his ergonomic, black
       leather chair

behind a slab of tinted
       plexiglass

on stainless-steel, to him
       a touch of class....

I imagine a waltz
With John Goodman
Would be a little like
Zorbing,
only instead of rolling down a hill
you'd be rolling around a dance floor.
I'd make sure to wear some stainless
steel shoes, as well....

She taught me,
That life isn't about riding 
in a roller coaster
with straight stainless rails.

rather,
It is riding in a roller coaster 
precariously 
with 360 degree turns, 
ups and downs and rusty rails 
that can snap 
at any given moment....

Dead I Am

My body on the stainless steel.
They drain my blood out while
pumping life back into in me.
I'm dressed in the latest style.
They make me up like a whore.
I finally look best to please.
Friends never see the corpse.
They only see their memories....

Disassociation 
Am I fixable? 
Followed instructions 
Like a leaking faucet Resembling what remains broken 
Causing built up droplets to overflow
Drowning
Time is rusted 
Disintegrating 
Mold forms over what once sold as stainless steel 
Can someone fix me?...

you've got lined, leathery face,
astigmatic eyes well in place
behind what your generation
calls lennon bifocal sensation.

you still got a patch of dark hair,
but a closer, careful look there,
roots the tint of stainless spoon,
you need another dye job soon!...

KILLER

Saturnine sleeper of the night,
Soaring slowly, out of sight,
Sleekly shadowing the gloom,
Silent harbinger of doom,
Innocent assassin, surreptitious, sly,
Stainless scandal slipping by,
Scything swiftly through the dark,
Hark the herald warning: Shark....

You and your nameless vows
Shrouded in a fog
under a snowy cliff

Cut and dissolved
under the fog
shrouded in a blanket of snow

Stainless white 
Clothes of deceit
Wed to a hanging fruit

Cut and dissolved
under the weight of the wind
Shrouded in a blanket of lies....

Blades grate
chunks of cabbage
scattered on the counter like pallid moss.

Choose
a duck,
its flesh dry and red,
and seasoned,
its broken neck
rigid in the stainless noose.
It looks
so good 
in the window,
even better in broth,
on my spoon,
tender
and ready to chew....

I played well to-day.
Scored the goal, that saved the day.
The cup was cold.
Stainless steel, solid silver, or gold.
Fill it up, with champagne drink.
I'll drink and drink and drink.
No red or yellow cards for me.
I am a winner.
That all can see.

Your rejection
is a violent blow
to the face of my affection.
It stops the flow
of my compasssion's blood
and dries the flood
of my burning passsion.
But I will continue to feed 
this innocent attraction.
I will ontinue to breed 
this stainless love
until its muscles grow tough....

Riding, riding, high tail cowboy!
Dry mouth, sunken orbits squint in the sunshine
Rearview mirror, grinning silver toothed

Gently rocking,  singing in the trunk

Laugh, laugh! stainless eyes,  steel sharpened grin
Splitting for the hills, knuckles white on the wheel

A killer on the run, Big Ed...

Dry light sprinkled into grey clouds. Sweet air muffled the sounds. Tan raspberry leaves glisten in the breeze. Stainless golden fields come alive leaving breath behind. Blink a glimmer I started to cry. Dust left in the sand an endless cascade soon revealed  vasfade.
                                                              sky...

I wanted to write you
the same love poem today,
but I forgot the words.
As I began to
etch them onto paper,
my fingertips grew
heavy, and
nostalgia crept in
like a lonely cadaver
on a stainless steel platter.
I've been writing
the same poem for
too many years,
and the butterfly of my heart 
has finally folded 
in
on 
itself....

You've got deeply lined, leathery face,
   with blurred, astigmatic eyes well in place
      behind what your old generation
         calls lennon eyeglasses sensation;

and you still got shoulder-length, dark hair,
   ah, but a slower, closer look there,
      gray roots the hue of stainless steel spoon,
         you do need another dye job soon!...
