Here's our memories, our moments, Our memes, our mothers

You can't save us

Mayhem maybe
Fair weather babies

You and me
Is be crazies

Amarti m'affatica

Here is what We see
Here is what We hear

No where is what We feel

Angst across age

Like teen spirit
Like a gut smell
Like burning rage

Like a time wheel
Like gripping fear
Like us in We

Just short of Five

The moment is passed
     Music from Mateo's hands
     Or a black guitar
The Hours echoing in a
     Jazz still in our earrings
     Or a clock in crocodile's tummy
Tab, tab, tabs
     Left open during our vacation
     Or climbing cliffs with other Id
Maps of Japan in Feudal fight
     During last light
     Or two hearts in a Goth night
Tabs on a browser; pointers in register
     Vectors measuring my life
     Our Life with magnitude and direction
Too many dimensions to feel right
     We reduce the multi-space
     We find the clustered features
     Or the missing tooth, hidden
I will find you
     Across time!
But will love you now
     In the moment

Before it passes

3D
Free Love           Talk with
Open Space        See thru
Three me            Feel me
Can't you             Five we
            See?                  Hear.
                      ­        Now
Set up                           Fear
Set yourself         Then
                               Free Fall
Smell me
            Old?
                               Felt Black
Velvety                 like Cheese
                               Smelt Green
Olive                     like Peace

Free Fall               Bond Over
Brown Beer         like Hips
                               Card Games
Pink Play              like Finger

Exploding             Glass
             We?

I can't remember your name
But that doesn't mean
I don't care

The coyote tricks and laughs
But always with fools

You and I are not fools
And clearly can not pick
The wine in front of us

The lynx sulks and licks
Nursing her kitten

You & I are not kitten
Cuz we fly
With the whole nine yard

My one Odin eye
Sits atop the Crystal Palace

A Black raven
Where the curtains
Match the carpet bombing

I gaze down
Sitting on our Ivory Tower

Love Peace and Baci
It's like mixing water oil
and a synthetic polymer
JoJo Nguyen Jun 25
And better than ever
From here to forever

Lyrical master
Spinning a teller

Yearning faster
With a blaster
Never master

Bait and haters
Flow with fevers

She gives
We takes

Vibes
and
Vapes
and
Vipers

and
We out
Don't pout

Shoot pool
Be cool

Breakfast for Mom
and I, then a garage sale

From the French garer
A shelter

We're selling or giving
away our old shelter

Stagg St is up for sale

This is a good thing
Cuz lately I'm down
whenever I'm there

A shelter
A garer
A garage

Mostly we store
accumulated shït
from Pigs on the Wing

Mostly I remember
us with nothing
but each other

And we were happy.
Or? Are my memories
gaslighting

Le mie zie
Two are gone
I miei zii
One is gone

It's 2025

April showers, a Sweet-season'd
"Come le dolci piogge alla terra"

The passing rain changes our Face
"Come alla terra le dolci piogge di primavera"

Are we becoming Literals?
Thus Poetry Month ends

"Cosi mi sazio o faccio penitenza
tutto divoro oppure resto senza"
My pronouns are he/him but maybe I write like a she/her?
Am I becoming us, or changing to them?
