Short Styrofoam Poems

They snickered and laughed
As you set sail on your raft
It seems you are daft...

Sarah started walking my tiger home
after I drank a few and went to roam,
and while she was fuming mad
she called me a jacka** cad...
Damn! She's wrapped my tiger in Styrofoam!!...

lending firm yet gentle support

containing
the White Strangeness…

summer gentle wind
wrong hot looks, an excessive
near the Styrofoam

hot outside boiling
melting man burns within him
boiling inside out

In the indecision--
the sidewalk's cracked masses,
always greener the upside,
screaming horns and Styrofoam cup lipstick stains--
the Second Hand grows sluggishly Dopesick;
Tick tock Time vomits itself to a hault
and the environment produces
Me....

false teeth
prosthetic arms and legs

expired passports and licenses
human skull

papers by the ton

Styrofoam that never disintegrates
food scraps
filling up landfills one item at a time...

Strong Foundation 
Limerick
Tom
7/8/2018

There once was a man, who built a new home,
It had beautiful archways and a golden dome.
The foundation was on sand,
Meaning it wouldn’t stand, 
Instead of wood he should have used Styrofoam?

77 Feels Like, 
Going From Fine China 
To Styrofoam Cups and Paper Plates;

The gourmet meals, life formerly volunteered,
Have vanished from the menu, leaving unexhausted items 
I’m found without appetency for.

upon

opening
popping
a bottle

of champagne

and then

celebrated
again by
popping

the bubble
wrap that
she was

packed in

what if

tapioca balls
swirling across the pavement ~ 
graupel has fallen


We are experiencing inclement weather and have had ‘snow’ in a form I had never seen before, it is like tiny Styrofoam balls or tapioca grains, I googled and discovered it is called graupel, hence the poem

Rainy Days

On rainy days celery sticks make 
pillow forts, cookies eat 
packs of 
cards, test tubes learn 
how to 
draw, vases lip 
sync Gloria Estefan songs, paper airplanes look at 
old pictures of 
their recycled relatives, Styrofoam cups break 
down, ladders bend and 
stretch, and
lunch boxes grow 
long shiny 
silky hair.

barren
i pour life into your carcass
three minute companion
join me for an afternoon busied by the flusters of the world

endless noodle sucked through an indifferent orifice
brown abyss
what lies beneath the surface?
floating buoys aptly distract my visual analysis
yellow, orange, green

styrofoam smirk!
allow me to revel in your sweat
for my lack of toil...

One afternoon in April,
behind the wheel of my beat-up and broken car,
sweating a little, 
my best friend in the passenger seat,
two large Styrofoam cups between us,
ice and juice and hopefulness:
and I cried and cried
and considered banging my head
against the steering wheel,
the windshield, the dashboard
(for dramatic effect),
all the hot plastic dusty with rage....

I envy the stylish model
her styrofoam perfect breasts
those legs that never need shaving
the sweet smile that needs no rest
the hair that’s always behaving
the pose that teasingly arrests
she’s a icon of current fashion
a flower neatly pressed
but no love will ever find her
no one cares if she’s undressed
she’ll never accomplish anything
never mind - I’m not impressed...

The Seder meal approaches;
A shank bone is required.
In years gone by, the butcher smiled
Whenever I inquired.

I hardly know him, but these bones
Are tossed when meat is cut
And so he’d give me one for free;
Today I got one – but…

It’s nestled now in Styrofoam
And shrink-wrapped – very nice,
Until I noticed something else – 
A ticket with a price!

It cost $1.23.
That’s not a lot of cash,
But it’s so weird to pay for what’s
Intended for the trash!...

What if Heaven….
is HELL….
The ultimate
gated
retirement community.
No “crazy” old neighbors
talking to their cats,
feeding their plastic flamingoes
styrofoam packing peanuts.
No music
unless downloaded
from a select play list,
no flags, no bumper stickers,
(unreadable wrinkled tattoos – OK).
No churches
if you’re here
you should know why.
Just forever smiling
angelic faces
aching
to drop a cannonball
into the pool.

choreography by de sade
lurid in glass cages
masturbating strobe lit neon
orbit decaying speed.

wholesale supplication
self abusing gratification
starving heroin chic
naked jazz gloss pages

clinical execution
seductive as scalpels
warm as polar ice floes
passionate as styrofoam

loveless bloodless corpses
cold animated fever
acid battery jerks
common denominator appeal

promises to be broken
dreams exsanguinated
lives to be killed
flesh...be...mine...
