Strapped

strapped to a chair while wires
pierced my skin, tested my knowledge 
Will this ever end? Come forth not 
My tongue tells all lies, as it splits
down the middle towards your
demise.


My eyes turned black my skin crawling 
With fear,  as my speech comes out
I feel endless fear. strap me down as
The room shakes, come forth

Cash strapped despondent citizen banker

Cash strapped despondent citizen banker
in unrelenting deep purple Depeche Mode crisis...

the yeast you could do
for a crusty and crabby old man,
(who I know 
like the back of my clawed hand),
albeit well bred wordsmith doth wonder,
whose person analogously baited
courtesy being at the receiving end
of one after another phishing schemes
whereat identity thieves stole

Strapped Sticks

Strapped Sticks

Little things to 
get strapped sticks with iron tip for 
their birthday: onesies, steel cap hiking boots or 
shoes, thick shocks too, 
stickers to 
adorn or to 
simply make statements genuine and 
beautiful, Food World gift cards, tents thick 
blankets, pillows, and 
so forth.

Financially Strapped

An expensive strap is going to cost you
Your credit card a Lion
The chance to beat who pleasure counts
A token love for sign

Where credit keeps you occupied
for loving that means more
When snaps at night mean plots for flight
that points defile for

Strapped Ready To Go

Telling no one I dress for discreet
the air is balmy, a good day for a killing
I recognize the scent of lilacs
Grandma is here now

Your knife! My spirit guide reminds me.
No problem. I can do this and well.
My purse? No. It would be found right away.
They don’t pat you down there do they?

I am strapped now,

Strapped On My Mother's Back

Chatter of women fill the streets
Happy screams of children in perfect harmony
A beautiful world I see
A knot holds me steady 
My mother's back a safe haven for me
As my head rocks slightly from the rythm of her feet

She runs, my head rocking rapidly
children cry, their hands not held, abandoned
As their screams turn into cries of

The Saddle-Strapped Cattle

Behold, dear reader, a bit about a boy and his battle,
He fought for his family, his friends and all of Earth's cattle,
His world was straddled by what rattled atop some saddle,
Bound all beneath to bare all the brunt as do stone staddles.
A bishop, the boy saw these binds that (most) others could not,
And Earth's saddle-strapped

Strapped

Alan Aldrich was a sports reporter
some declared he was a news distorter.
He denied their gripes
and said by all rights
He was just an athletic supporter.

Strapped For Cash

The thing I used to worry before
when I was hard up, strapped for cash
were bills to pay and other concerns.

Indeed, they’re priorities that need attention.
Across the length of time I’ve survived,
I’ve learned to understand in some ways
I’ve opened the doors to other suggestions
that I should be wise whenever called for.

When urgent needs crop up and

Strapped By Hunger

Strapped by hunger fly my hands 
In airborne windmill mimicry, 
In shapes of gulls above the dunes 
Searching sands rapaciously; 
For morsels fit to slake the beak 
And quash the stomach agony, 
The gastric fire flutters, 
Burns alive with hurtful sanity. 
They burden full of emptiness, 
Denied of gruel or clemency, 
My love miscarried in
