Surgery Poems

final curtain

to simply not exist—
for a painless exit? 
he asked himself, uncertain.

then from behind
the hospital room curtain
a patient screamed—
"my life! "

I am a woman in a man's world drinking milk to prepare a mustache.

Love for my sis makes me like her own bolshevik

so, though I'd rather swallow a stranger's lipstick,

I sat her ground-dweller, her dog, named Limerick.

Once, outside while his wiz-biz defied arithmetic, 

I noticed he had one gross, fully plump black tick.

I’m here I’m there I’m everywhere
But I cannot  be seen 
I’m the bailiff when your skint
The traffic warden with pencil in hand
The ex-girlfriend with a new man
That cough, that ache 
I’m the empty shelf in the supermarket
The que in...Read More

Evil has evolved their hearts through surgery
concern for the people, displayed in absolute forgery
cutting common supply to show how ruthless
cold minds with parasitic heads so heartless
a large people carried by the small minded
welfare then restricted, only to their kindred
suffering, lashing...Read More

Bible readers, read but be careful.
Not all therein is beneficial
that is, should be taken too literally. 
Example: ‘turning the other cheek’ 
if done regularly will keep
the face deformed permanently.
So know the saying’s right intent
as it was originally meant.
And while many...Read More

Look amidst the glorious tray
To see the terrain our act has played
Whether for the love or fun of it
The future will tell of what is done

My heart pants 
For that which my eyes do see
Even less than that which is...Read More

Her behaviour...Read More

My morning quiet time, always conduces creativity,
This endeavor precludes, each day’s passivity.

Might help explain how fruit
full this harmless poetic brute,
(a Methacton School of hard knocks
grad), who sports astute
demeanor with ample
brew netted locks,
vaguely androgynously cute,

his trademark signature hirsute
unstyled wavy hair
tell tale characteristic,

gives rats ass and/or hoot
bummer attire...Read More

I got a hernia from laughing and was in constant pain,
and every time I'd laugh thereafter, the pain returned intensively again.
I've since had corrective surgery, but laughing is not the same.
I'm afraid that...Read More

And it is lonely not having friends around
The day before a serious surgery
We’ll not talk about illnesses’ and other
Subject related to hospitals.
Not talking in hushed voices but...Read More

Perhaps my mind is allowed to dance
Allowed to feel my emotions free
To laugh, to love, to feel and be
What I was before the curtain
That cancer drew and made uncertain
A future beyond near gone years
Days filled with...Read More

Insult Added To Injury and Perjury

Trump was an insult added to injury,
And person who  committed perjury;
A total insult,
Is final result,
And his imbecilic brain needs surgery.

Arthenia's life was saved...Read More
