So sit silently...

Girl with the
porcelain skin
Girl who's striving
to win
Constantly holding
her head in shame
Snapping her
supposedly petite
frame...

hieroglyphics 
depictions of
the supposedly 
good old days
when all was 
well within the 
land of falsehood
of a land that never 
truly ever existed...

Simple faerie laughed with wide loud teeth
Joke made by her angry comrade
Supposedly to hurt her
Making him really mad
She smiled widely
To show no care
Or respect
For his
Mad...

I have missed you! She said.
Squealing with excitement
Recognizing her alive self
the second she supposedly died.
Her soul laughed, glad she remembered
this time without prompting...

Just think you should know after all of these years I'm still into you.
I still know, I'll never get in... Fortunately for you, 
Not interested in what girls are supposedly meant to do....

Women are supposedly very good at multitasking
Men are not, which allegedly is our biggest crime
But if women are truly capable of multitasking
Why can’t they have a headache and sex at the same time?...

I am constantly stressed
So I see my shrink

My psychiatrist, too, of course
And, oh yeah, this group –

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
A “Life Skills” group

Supposedly,
They teach me life skills...

envious people...miss

ever sad lives... they just

even when safe at home

STIFF  STUFF



Old age in men  
is when 
joint parts supposedly flexible 
just aren’t any longer, 
but are stiff instead;
and parts supposedly stiff
just aren’t any longer,
and certainly no longer any longer.

To read some poems
is to read a foreign language
only it is supposedly English
just better English than I have ever used
I would have to look up the meaning of ten words per line
To make sense of it, so I don’t bother
Skipping these gladly…....

We fished close to where he supposedly drowned.
Tossing lures into the black heart of the bay.
Tring to fool coho and chinook but only attracting a soul.

The sun retreated as old fishermen must do.
Orange lanterns glowing rising to the chalk heart of dusk....

I wouldn’t do that if I were you.
The woman ignored me, 
not realizing that I speak "squirrel".
She had no idea when she threw that snowball
at the small, quiet, supposedly unassuming squirrel
an army of squirrels would be fighting back with snowballs from the trees...

Are the sordid stories about the surreal, 
sharp, stoney Greek isles known as Sirenum Scopuli,
supposedly inhabited by sexy, sultry, sirens, 
who salaciously seduced stupefied shipwrecked sailors 
by simply singing lascivious songs, 
surely mythologic or surprisingly true?...

Being honest is creating enmity, those dishonest people would appreciate if you were one among them with same mindsets! then you would have been the perfect and right person to be! how strange it is! God supposedly created good and kind people! Well we have to live to make others live.....

Good Lord, Mama Mantis creeps
up behind and takes a nip
that stings sharp before I fall,
supposedly dead.

Fakeout! I still have my teeth
and I hear the words, "Bite me!
Wanting to give her a nip,
Alexa B.'s bit!

Mrs. Z, can you?
Yes! She shrieks with delight, not caring what it is.
We need you to….
OKAY! She agrees, wanting to please.
Do you need to….
No, she says, interrupting her boss once again.
The rest of us stare in amazement.
Marveling that she is supposedly a therapist.
Don’t they have to listen?...

Time! Those minute and 
Angular grains...
Wherein,  subscribed to 
Each hypothesized increment
Forever,
All supposedly contain
A singular ticking second from yet 
Just another incumbent 
Universe:-
Man's futile attempt to try and 
Feebly explain
That which only the 
Great Unmovable-Mover
Can truly measure!...

With Problems Was Surround

With problems were surrounded
Hopefully we will have rebounded
Back to life returned and came
Regardless of who was to blame
Hope correct this all sounded.

I just can't stop writing
since Hillary lost. Guess
writing poetry is supposedly 
comforting. What do you think?...

The woman that I am makes me by position supposedly into a man. 

The hand that I take is male.

Sport is for the doing of it, not for the fastest times. 

Born a male means being born with the need to think and accept, whereas being born female means being born with the need to act. 

Carers are far too often female....

The thrust of most religions
is focused on the hereafter
rather than the here-and-now.
As for the unspeakable blessings
that supposedly await the dead,
would those blessings not benefit
far more the living instead?
But, if the dead are really dead, 
can they be concerned with anything
here-and-now, let alone hereafter?...

Jack and Jill,
Got very ill,
When they went up the hill,
And found Uncle Lester's
Moonshine still,
'Cause stupidly, they had their fill.

Make of this, what you will.
Gotta' go now,
Time for me to take a pill,
And wash it down,
With this unGodly swill
From my faucet,
Supposedly water, seemingly...
With the ability to kill...

not taken into account 
years spent together 
creating supposedly 
unbreakable bounds 
that were supposed to 
last 
not taken into account 
years of unconditional positive
regard shown 
negativity outweighs 
positivity 
this should not 
be the case 
but unfortunately
this is the reality 
in which we find 
ourselves living in...
