Short Zippers Poems

Cracked smile
red eyes
a tatoo on your chin
zippers made for your ears
your image is deceiving...

Pronounce me lightened,
ethereal wind in wings~
Blow my feathers thus
with slippery zippers closed
to lift me above the sky...

Today I tried on some pants,
the zippers shouted, "I cant's!"
So I sucked in my gut,
bellybutton's a rut...
Damn, fill the hole with some plants!...

You can unzip all my zippers
Until only one is left
In my body bag
Coming back from some kind of war
Ordered by my government
It’s a zippy world
Don’t expect more from a government...

Who's  the power behind the throne?
Renewed zipper in the zone,
Look out, gals in the ACT,
Yet more sprogs for Barnaby?
Who shall his next wife be?
is he ScoMo's majority?
Voting in our future, you see!...

Reduced to a piece of luggage 
with memories of hanging gardens
zippers split open with grinning, yellow teeth
I surrender my neatly folded heart 
to be confiscated, devoured, and cemented...
by a patrol who cannot border my tears......

Zippers and Velcro and snaps and straps
nylon loops are found everywhere
pockets there are of every size
pockets in pockets can be found

flags of black hang upside down
holding meanings that are not found
over shoulders diagonally hung
made to fit over either one

covered with tools of every kind
stuck in loops and on Velcro  hung
swinging on straps as they walk
ringing softly with tinkling sounds...

Here I sit, one year later;
no more smoking, lungs are clear.

I have more new habits now;
one is lots of good, cold beer.

Food is now my sacred cow;
what's for dinner, here and now.

Am I happy ? Well, heck no ;
all my flesh has turned to dough.

Clothes don't fit; way too small ;
buttons popping ; zippers stall.

Trading one vice for another;
is truly just one great, big bother.

Do I smell food in the kitchen ?
Now my nose is really twitchin'....

The teachers are teaching,
The principal- preaching.

The halls buzz with whispers,
The gym with bag zippers.

The children are sleeping- in the middle of class,
Hoping the day will breeze by real fast.

The printers are hummin',
The homework keeps comin'!

The clocks ticks by slow,
We all gotta go...

The lectures wont end,
Nobody's listening- it's just pretend!

The final bell sounds- cheers all around,
And at last the day has found its bound....

Shake all those weights off of your form,
Exerting your power of will.
Xenobiotic fabrics fill
Unseen voids that should be the norm.
Activity creates a storm,
Leaving you all wet from the spill
Inside out, because of the thrill
Zippers create within your dorm.
Acting on operating parts,
These movements define the pleasure,
Increasing the beating of hearts.
On my voyage to your treasure,
Natural motions strike like darts,
Sending you strokes in all measures....
