Premium MemberA Game Of Telephone

Let's play a game of telephone...

crepitant tongues converse

overly dramatic tendencies 

incoherently  concrete

awakening preoccupation 

a train flying off the tracks

chaotic clumps crust up

dissonance distended 

indecorous reception

viral instigator

I dont want to sift

sterilize rhetoric

abrasive to the ear.

A game of telephone...let's play.

Premium MemberMrs M a Fastidiously Fussy Teacher

Mrs M was a teacher with a clean desk
there was only one pencil in there
it was always sharpened
and a pink eraser that looked brand new
I never saw an ink pen

the top of her desk had a small plaque
with her name starting with Mrs. of course
Even though she was divorced
She never wanted the students to know about it
We all did

She was fastidiously neat and fussy
staying late to sterilize desks and seats
she inadvertently taught me one big lesson
I never wanted to be like her
She was too punctilious; cleanliness was her world.
Students were probably twenty-six on her priority list.

Premium MemberLies

The past is not but nuisance
When a lie is laid to bear.
They weed our sacred garden
As they pop up everywhere.

I double down on their existence
Knowing repetition is the key.
Sterilize a lie one hundred times...
Feeble minds will soon believe.

             The End

Do Good People Kill Spiders

Liquor license for my rubbing alcohol
Fumes and vapors have me squinting like a mole
Open my window, let the wind blow through
A bunch of spiders came and crawled right to me

Shouting and stomping like a maniac
I squashed them all, covered in goo
of black 
Looked through myself, right at the mirror
Who should really be the fearer?

Do good people kill spiders?

Mop up the viscera left on the floor 
Some rubbing alcohol make the stink no more 
I left it there for over a week 
The time has come to be a clean freak 

Lock the door, sit on the floor, and breathe in
Sterilize my mind and sanitize my skin
Guilt is a feeling, shames a disorder
But chemicals, they are my warder 

Do bad people realize it?

Hymn To An Art-O-Matic Laundromat

Hymn to an Art-o-matic Laundromat
by Michael R. Burch

after Richard Thomas Moore’s “Hymn to an Automatic Washer”

O, terrible-immaculate
ALL-cleansing godly Laundromat,
where cleanliness is next to Art
—a bright Kinkade (bought at K-Mart),
a Persian rug (made in Taiwan),
a Royal Bonn Clock (time zone Guam)—
embrace my ass in cushioned vinyl,	
erase all marks: ****, v-g-nal,
penile, inkspot, red wine, dirt.
O, sterilize her skirt, my shirt,
my skidmarked briefs, her padded bra;
suds-away in your white maw
all filth, the day’s accumulation.
Make us pure by INUNDATION.

Published by The Oldie, where it was the winner of a poetry contest. Keywords/Tags: hymn, art, America, laundry, laundromat, washer, dryer, appliances, clean, cleaning, cleanliness, clothes, clothing, underwear, god, godly, godliness, water, baptism, inundation, sonnet, analogy

This poem was inspired by the incongruence of discovering "works of art" while doing laundry at a laundromat with coin-operated washers and dryers. I was reminded of the experience while reading Richard Moore’s “Hymn to an Automatic Washer.”

Premium MemberLove Your Neighbor

How can you say that you love God when you hate your neighbor,
In whom you see every day?
Love makes your dreams come truth
When nobody else may be able to see,
Let your dreams be seen
Let it not die with doubt
That is not what it’s all about.

The broken-winged of an eagle
Keep it down to the ground
Not able to fly at a high level,
Never able to see what is ahead
Where it will be able to avoid trouble.

Without love, your dreams will never come true
Like a plant in a desert field without water
No true grow will last 
It will wither away
For lack of water to stay.

Water in a river without an outlet
Is like being in a bottle not sterilize
Not a fit drank to consume
A dream without fulfilling in not
Fit to be thought of
Goes to the grave unused.
Then how can I say I love God when I hate my neighbor,
In whom I see every day?

Premium MemberGlobally In Limbo

Still is the night and dark is the day.
Marked are the chosen to show you the way.
Evil unleashed on the world a game..
Survival of the fittest the virus to blame.

Like dodging a bullet but no where to run..
Secluding yourself and trusting no one.
Lock your doors and stay inside..
To protect your life you must wait and hide.

Cleanse your body and sterilize your home..
Don't let anyone in for the virus to roam.
Always looking for its next victim to host..
It will cross the country from coast to coast!

Be strong, stay healthy, there is no set date..
All you can do is be patient and wait.
It's a Pandemic, its Global and its looking for you..
Keep your distance, stay safe, it's all you can do!

Premium MemberChurch

I sat in the parking lot of a red brick Baptist church, and read the words typed in small Arial font. Pondering my path from a past of battle torn want. But these were not the words of God, nor of a missionary’s calling of good deeds, spreading the word of some chosen deity. Though I needed hands to be laid on me, and prayed over for the salvation of my soul, because the words I read shred me to pieces from a whole. I wondered if I could be as strong as the building before me, and what it stood to symbolize; possibly sterilize my fragile state of mind. No, I didn't come here in search of God, to confess my sins, or hoping to find the light within. I only pulled over to read the words you sent to me, asking for forgiveness, begging to be freed from all the hurt. Then I thought, maybe it should be you sitting here, in the parking lot of this red brick Baptist church.

Premium MemberCraziness In Heart's Mind

Truly there is a bit of craziness in my heart’s mind
As she colors people beautiful
Even when they are mean
Fierce
And 
Unrealistically
Angry
At me, but will not tell me why.

Feeling unsafe, and insecure
Painting people ahead in my thought’s brains
Expecting something that is insanely
Fantastical
And
Maniacally
Combative
Seeing a
Horrible ending
Due to lack of
Communication.


Able to methodically
Sterilize and homogenize
Other’s irrational ugly 
Self-defeating thoughts
Yet stubbornly holding
On to my own,
Making myself nuts.

Freck

Sterilize the enterprise...

Pro-rate your eloquence,

state sorrowfully,
then engage-
every page,

wondrous rapturous,
bashful captures,

slanty' cases and raging races...


Be hotter than road modern!

Beget the racers in the Stallium!

I am raving the major,

they take away the meed and complacent-

I am the smasher and head Caser! 

Take me to the ancient hollow that was never endangered!

Premium MemberDemonize Or Energize

Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
  Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise

Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
  Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise

Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
  Westernized pols, their constituents balkanize and polarize

Trivialize and miniaturize, standardize and sterilize
  Thought-police priesthoods evangelize and moralize

Why can't they fraternize and socialize?
  Why don't they harmonize and compromise?

White Is White

There can be only one color, white
Others would cause confusion 
Light beams have certain properties
To move this process along
To burn the soul completely
To sterilize the imperfections
Being perfect has advantages too
Humans once were white 
Extermination was inevitable
Androids found them to be not quite white enough
Termination was the obvious solution
Pure white machines walk the night with eighteen feet
Melt the imperfections with enlightenment
Nature must be reclaimed, returned        
For no other reason than to keep the peace
There can only be white once and for all
Being white is the law
The law is right
Order is the only reason
White is white for a reason

Popular Demand

I plead the fifth!
Rhymes with no sniff
Nosed clogged Ben Gay spade with no shifts
Pace makers tripped wires

Remit
Remake takes patents to skin drifts
Power ranged a game with low lifts
Tires rims shine made drift

Blinds closed with long sticks
Brick houses with no bricks
Framed same found day shun with steel trip
Wires hang dancers give

Beauty baked lashes give rip
Maybeline lined lip
Color shadow followed him
Made created a land with give gifts

Transparent pulled out of bounds balls bounce do drifts
Out strike title stripped
Sterilize steroids with no stick
Big boned with mild tones sounds

Without Biz
Bone Thug great hit
Smashed charts with no 
Ozzie remake with slick

Hiding lights with strike back
Big rims Cadillac
Heavy Chevy comes back
Nova stars mobilized

Ride click tight riding high
Bean pies French fries
Filled with no lies
Mouth covered 

Say nothing 
Snitch out 
Been made!

Premium MemberPaying Attention To Safety

Here are a few safety tips that will help keep you & your family ssafe
When in doubt, throw it out: Throw out foods with danger-signaling odors. But be aware that most food poisoning bacteria are odorless, colorless and tasteless. Do not even waste a food that is suspect.

Use separate cutting boards for meat and poultry: Don’t use wooden cutting boards. Bacteria can live in the grooves. Sterilize cutting boards in the dishwasher. Consider buying separate colors for meat and fresh foods like veggis and bread.

Wash and disinfect sponges and towels regularly: Launder in a bleach solution.

Avoid cross-combination by washing all surfaces (including your hands) that have been in contact with raw meats, poultry or eggs.

Thaw meats or poultry in the refrigerator, not in the kitchen counter:  If you must thaw foods quickly, use cool running water or the microwave

Do not put food on a plate that was used for raw meat or poultry: If you bring your raw steaks, chicken, or burgers to the grill on a platter, get a fresh platter for a final product

Mix foods with utensils, not your hands: Keep hands and utensils away from your mouth, nose and hair
