Marital moods and signals

If green, go share-- the room and bed,
Yellow, pillow separated,
If signal shows orange,
The bed is what you change,
Red, change the very room
To save your soul from doom,
As signals you must learn to dread. 

Once counselled a marriage expert 
Advising me to be alert.
But I do rather feel,
That a man should just deal
With red that might

Afande She

She has a pretty face
She carries herself well
In uniform she is an iconic
Many so desire her moments

A detective she carries her gun well
When duty calls she flashes her smile
Its a smile i have see disarm many
She has no use for brute force
For her lovely essence nets all delinquents

I used to spy her long time ago

It is interesting how TV commercials,
are now more vacuous, more entertaining,
more unconvicting, more annoying than ever,
yet
he was often in-the-thrall of
their invasive noise
it was a background,
mid-ground,
and foreground,
unintelligible babble,
but
when he turned off the plasma visions
he realized
that they were a tonal band-aid
over his own mind-chatter;
now his self-talk had to turn up its volume
to compensate
for the dead-air space
that would

The signal 
The signs 
Directions 
How do you find it?
Find the right way 
Or continue going wrong 
You're  going down the path 
Alone 
Or maybe not 
You see, in the end, you forgot 
That lanes end 
Sometimes, other lanes begin 
STOP signs bring you to a stop 
Yielding helps you from being blocked

Mixed Signals

A terribly tired, trashed-out old truck,
lacking in luster, down on its luck,
longingly looked at a lithe little Lexus
there at the bar, fresh in from Texas.
Depressed, dejected, and driven to drink,
wipers not working, and too beat to blink,
he summoned his strength and shot her a smile;
seems ’twas the first she’d seen in a while.
Given a green

A Home

A body built on nerves and signals.

So many little paper airplanes,

they fly from head to toe.

Expect when they get stuck in my hands and rattle.

Uncontrollable. 

Flex and refocus, 

 they are gentle;

 fragile.

They understand me

they want to be stronger, longer

a creative ache, I think. 

 

My knees are weak,

they beg for sleep

but they are the

Signals and Signs

Rows of receptors positioned just so
     to capture signals from galaxies aglow
   Six decades, billions spent, not one signal yet
     not a peep of protest nor an ounce of fret... 

   Signs and wonders we all see every day
    

Signals

cars racing their voices


trafficking destinations


signals      breaking       rules

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

The connection's gone.
Check your cell signals.
No signal.
Something is up.
What?

Galactic spectacle, we name you
For a Greek mythic giant.
You exist in mythic realms of space
Dwarfing our Milky Way,
The largest yet known of your kind.
We behold your bygone light, 
Your radio signal artifacts now only just 
Arriving from what you were
Three billion years ago.
So humble our instruments for
Detecting you, 
so simple our data collection
about you.

Warning Signs

sharp sound of church bells
on a cold crystal clear night
warns heaven and hell
to try harder to do right
not give up on the good fight

strong gusts of north wind 
ominous clouds now hover
no good they portend
bad time to feel hung over
makes good sense to find cover
 
cannot seem to breathe
chest seems filled up with cement
just able

Novelty in feet

Missed Signals

(Ring.)

"Hello?"
"Can you hear me?"
…

"Hey there."
"How have you been?"
…
"I know, I know,
It's been a minute, hasn't it?"
…
"Yeah, I can't lie,
I don't know why.
After all this time,
I should stop with the tries."
…

"But I gotta ask you,
Do you care?"
…

"I really miss you."
…
"I miss the crappy jokes too.
I… uhm, really need you.
No, not like that.
Just... It's nothing, you know?
