I laugh my *** off
just thinking about
ripping a hole
in your fat sweat pants
until I got a hair caught in my throat. (I'm choking.)

   You OK?

well.. I'm having a coughing fit.
(I'm turning all red.)

    Can I help?

I'm drinking a cup of water.    
(running to the kitchen, choking wildly fumbling
through the cabinets, looking for your cups)

    Come back to me, lover.

I'm washing the cup now?

It will not break free

With a string

    Higher­ still,
a balloon’s great lift
pulls the same thread
in an upward cloudless drift

Cool morning hours: Air is denser and less turbulent as in
Clear skies

The rope appears like a glowing wire
it vibrates slightly in the hour
of light as
defying nature's usual paths.


Vibrations hum through the string,
like a long, single harp note.

It carries even distant footsteps or balloon-tugging winds

Cool in the morning, warm by noon  .Curios path that doesn’t fall.

Slight quivers beneath my feet, are enough for us to hang on to

Whose ***** is she,
someone stands on the corner,
influencing the planets with her sign
did **** take a hit?

pain. take care
sweet heart
deliver to me inside me hurts

The names of plants are plenty -
incant and hope in chemicals
the ground to rise or give up.

Messages are soon delivered on trains
We are the World
her horrible tragedy is over,
And what minerals selling
points to the plot,
In comedy.


The scene photograph
peirces me in these pictures
wheels white and soundless
A good show in goldleaf
, and know little else-
for i am alone in her theater
without her,
Just me and my pipe,
now, simply existing;
a heaven on earths i do not care for.

Time in Doses too little
Love my libel on his word,
just asked in my bible.

I'll be someone's lesser,
now, firmly believe in pain
wandering begger
and blindly pulling off
all that I've gathered inside
A hypodermic needle.

So long ago and far away
to the frosty night
I traveled on that pipe
so far to or from
When it will begin

carry a tune,
caligraphy,
darned socks
we're all aboard and
A Northern wind
Spirit gifts us.

Horrors
were just time spent quilting
A train pulses
its pillow smoke
as she hushs the neighbors to sleep
along the tracks
Erased the last few yards.

her beautifully closed eyelids
meets next to each stop
Steam rises up to my nostrils
as pulsing dreams
I was
Loved once in traveling
in those pillows that gather up on the down thrusts.

We are the world as theives
to old pipers music,
notes inside the body
of these discordant tunes.

the young shun me
I think of movies might be showing on cable
a day later, they appear,
I know it is not me but I point
to  the  body snatchers
the 7th sign
Signs
no matter how futile my order in a long line
at Chipotle
and the cooks eating  my order
creates caos in me.

I'm going to eat those... words

when living-to-eat them
meant we were dying inside, to them,
as was our famous last ones

     -inside
whose true colors did show everyone
how we could climb very fast to reach them
every day I failed,
I became very hard to have found them;

I spent my last days, choking
just because my mind was shot
drinking-in all the picturesque views
or the abyss of your last cutting remarks;

and because I had nothing better to do
and buying more words
was just to buy you;

and the dictionary was your favorite book
   we were surrounding ourselves, with rebuttles
of your anchor's chair
pointing to the shocking tele-promter, telling us how to tell the news
   they viewed our faces upon the break up
and leaving the audience to decide how it happened;

so by just saying what's the point saying, ... to love
to be living another day with or without you
dying alone, without a word
is my every night.

and
nothing is ever funnier than
whatever words you chose
to be... just as or like your last girlfriend.

Every few years, I forget who or what I'm doing
4-5 hours lost, to trans global amnesia,
I wake up, haven flew around in circles
      and at a road stop, in semi trailer traction
       no doctor can determine the cause
of why I can't remember,
of what am I suppressing;

how I wished in dreams, THEY would go away,
the describable things they've done
that makes being human.

Every few years, I forget I'm a saint
4-5 hours of acute pressure,
a signal,

         I wake up crucifix-
       my dark roots, i don't blame you
for it, I came along
    I can't end this
or dismiss it to places and win.
ZOO Dec 2016
Shooting it up, the frosted black
   I once had you, young root,
   And my veins still lay there trapped

I am to grow down to your garden, and talk to the flowers
and I pretend I was succulent and we grow back but never tired.

cut me into three pieces
you work the land by quarters
watching me,
perhaps you whose arms felt like lead.
I gave you rotten things when I grew up
but terribly feeling that I was being laughed at.

So below, I sew with these branches to you
grow back and intertwine. We are the behaviors of the briars
and we are familiar.

you had secular laughs.

I Think It's Going to Rain Today
Song
by
Randy Newman
1968,
Song was
covered by many artists, Norah Jones is this one.

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today
Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend
Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today.

24 hour dance with wolves
war makes our crimes criminals
downs us of our  ways tastes ta tonka ;millions starved while whites rebuild
embarrassed, holding fingers to head as in horns you kicked US
we are free from each others louses America
whatever walking shadows need
We can survive on such rations
I lived in the hostile grasses where
in the hills you could buy luxury.
ZOO Nov 2016
Once upon a time, we lived trapped, here-
Inside by our skins
And we were free to like them
Or leave them.

But then, i might miss
When, I first felt my tongue
on the first kiss.

where, I rolled your eyes
remembering you on my way home

whose toes rolled back up inside her shoes
loved me to be pulling her hair

to be liked like this …
to  be inside these sheets.”
to loved just once,
to leaving her
to leaving them
to resist this kind of living!

so I snuck into
your room, To your sleeping, whisper
kiss and leave
And by this way, it will only work

"And If it is true that:
You are only resting
But if you love this
Then it will awaken
As this kiss was meant to do.”

And by this, we are to find
if love is true can love them and leave them
So they can live.

And it was.

And so she did.
ah lobes for lobe love for lobes and globes
