Who told you they’d be out
because the blacktop is hot?

Whose light was used
to find it slithering
where you swore
it would be not?

Who sacrificed
their personal belongings
to catch
then release?

Who talks and talks,
knowing not true facts,
wielding data that is
incomplete?

Who listens to redrum music?
Who’s the one doing The Shining?
Ooooh… that’s me.
I caught the baby Mojave,
rattling green.

Who?
Michael A. Pettigrew
took a rod,
wrapped the poisonous rattler,
and made it stare
terror in the face.

That old serpent
he deserves
to live in fear
with grace.

And on the Sabbath day,
these events
took place.
Wether it is a simulation,
the matrix
or spiritual realm.
With AI in the See
who is at the helm?
Different dimension
Like fish in the sea
Can you see the air around me?
I view the creatures in the water
An alternate atmosphere
Inverted sky bowl
blue & clear.
Perception in question
Man wrote this & that
Forever guessing what is facts.
Can a fish comprehend
the water that it is in?
I am right back to the end.
I can hear without sound
Visualize with no eyes
The body drops off
The soul never dies!
Oh, look how beautifully vibrant in color
from the forest to the jungle
to the garden in the front yard.

It dances through blossoms,
socializing with all the flowers,
while people gaze in awe,
knowing it once hid in a cocoon
before taking on its majestic form.

The butterfly loved to be seen
flashing its splendor to everyone,
which made it hard,for any one soul
to fully love & fully trust at the same time.

As stunning as its fluttering flight,
it was heartbreaking that no bond could hold it
no heart could claim it for long.

Long live the butterfly, for the purest romance
is love that never lets itself be caught.
The ultimate evil is social boredom, but I am not.
Born to die
Live to cry
Life is a river
Go with the flow

Current through the middle
You can bank on me
I’m on each side
Emotional support I provide

Beneath the surface
Tears still run
But I keep flowing
Towards the sun
Two Sun out shine each other
Two Moons always dimming the mood
One of each, true contrast
Which brings harmony to you & me
Out of the blue
The statements above are no facts
But resonate genuinely true.
I wrote this poem based off a relationship. I have with a woman where we both seem to be the sun at the same time or the moon. Maybe we should take turns
Images of Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface scenes,
An Amy Winehouse in rehab shedding past dreams.
Eyes sharp as glass, mingling with her a blast
Soft spoken lightning, a whisper with heat
Chanel scented poetry walking the street.
A layer of glamour & classic beauty
A cat woman on the prowl another Michelle Pfeiffer movie
Never trust a cutie with the *****
Could star in her own production movie
Strong and mysterious
Getting to know her & not be too serious.
Like Eminem’s Hailie
Purchase her a mockingbird maybe.
Powerful cinematic Theme  Baylee’s persona rings
She’s the Mockingbird that sings beautifully in her own dreams.
Written for Baylee who I met at the Tarzana Treatment Center.
