Styrofoam, mans’ cool invention

Tiger By the Tail

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!!

Tick Tock

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.

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?

in a box 

shipped
to me
upon

opening
popping
a bottle

of champagne
i celebrated
and then

celebrated
again by
popping

the bubble
wrap that
she was

packed in
and then
i thought

what if
it were
styrofoam

what do
they pack
styrofoam

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 02/09/21

Rainy Days

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.

Beef Flavored Ramen

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

In the Drive-Thru

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.

Premium Member Mannequin

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

Shank Bone

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!

Premium Member What If Heaven

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.

Touch Quartet 3: Flesh

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
