Www Invitation

WWW    INVITATION 



It’s a net  like a spider  web  
A scary world of almost nothing
Floating in the ether
And poor unsuspecting airy creatures
Get trapped in the stickiness of its lines
Victims  of an unseen enemy
Unwillingly invited to lunch
Stilled with drug and bound
For future  use and disposal


Humidity

Humidity’s validity
Is limited to plants
‘Cause people would avoid it
If they only had the chance.

For mugginess, like bugginess,
Does nothing but annoy.
It’s not the type of weather
That I ever could enjoy.

The ickiness of stickiness
Just brings me to my knees.
I’m sure I’m not the only one
Who’d much prefer to freeze!

All Day the Sky

All day the sky
Ejaculating
Brings brown to green
Sea and river embracing
Shudders 
Salt spray like sweat
On the eyes
Crumpled sheet of innocense
All day have I
Endured the streaming stickiness
Of dreams
That cannot rise
Like a kite 
In such a malicious wind
All day the sky
Set limits
No mortal can reach
Nor did I
Ever breach the sanctuary of love.

Gum In a N.Y Subway

Retired sweetness paints
a tiled mosaic of
unpredictable patterns.

Black, brown shapes
spatter the 
grey concrete of 
an underground kingdom.

The fresh ones burn
pink and seafoam 
green against
this steely blue 
and yellow lined world.

The stickiness clings
onto shining 
out of spectrum, 
before becoming
another dot
in dark masses.

I Should Have Let It Go

I should have let it go,
   theunkind words they spoke
the phrases unjustly, hurtfully said
   but you know me...
My mind thinks and mulls the words
   over and over again.
They churn like whipped shakes and malts
   until they begin to overflow.
Before realized, they spill over
   onto counter tops and make a mess.
Cleanup doesn't serve me well
   as the disliked stickiness is spread
Soon, everyone around sees and knows
   that thing they said  -
I should have let it go,
