Possum Trash
This sandy shore is mine, I am its vassal;
building my fort, I was much too facile.
Just as I finished, here came a passel,
a passel of beach possums, razzle-dazzle.
I'm not quittin', though it be a hassle;
possum trash'l be an awesome castle.

Ode To The Bin That Betrayed Me
In moonlight's hush, beneath the elm,
A masked marauder stalks his realm.
With paws like whispers, eyes like coal,
He seeks the prize that fills his soul.
But lo! The bin—his ancient foe—
Stands smug, unyielding, sealed in woe.
Its lid, a tyrant, cold and tight,
Dares mock his hunger

Memento On The Moon
A tsunami of black ash blankets half a world
Trash toadstool hoodoos, wastelandic pillage
and pollutant mucus ravishes lava villages
Draining is the amalgam mass at the end of the spectrum
Stone environs shock, unnatural landscapes
Polyethylene islands flushing the canvas
Carbon contaminant fumes flair in mid drift air
Virtually no place on Earth is free of the polymer fog
Foaming magma

Trash
to sew eyes shut, and turn away
from the face I see each day
a temptation stronger than reason
unyielding as the passing seasons
my voice is tame, common refrain
a quiet whimper, uttered in shame?
yet if I form rhyme with which to speak
does seeking the truth not set you free?
twisting verse into line
against the clock's cruel designs
an upheaval with

Wealth Is Trash
Sorrow will wipe away your sacrifice,
treasures of the world will unlock and give blind fortune
nothing you get will test your patience and your greed
but suffer and tears in times of need.
Let go, stop the torture it is not about the fortune!!
Spear my love and rule my jealousy just because its cheap,
but not awake yet somewhere

Hot Trash
The queen of rubbish raised her man’s ire
By not calling the king of trash, sire
She just refused
His ‘Royal Refuse’
So he raged into a dumpster fire
For Dumpster Fire Contest

Humanity - Gravity - Newton's Law
Gravity makes things go down,
to the ground like a funny clown.
Missing the trash can,
now on the floor plan.
Gravity will always be around.

The Message In the Trash Can
I cannot find words to speak, I am full up to my cheek; my chest is swelling with heat and I can hardly breathe, and as the morning drags on I can feel the tension moving in my feet and my muscles suddenly gets stiff and daylight speaks to my longing soul.
It is the

TRASH
You treat me like a trashcan with a touch-top lid
Giving me your unwanted garbage
Used carcass of hurtful words
Empty containers of your so called opinions
Balled up paper of your dirty attitudes
Smelly tin cans of your hate
Your unwanted leftovers of vengeance
But I am strong, I can be washed,
I have a strong purpose
I am doing my part
