Movement issues
Occupy Parkinson’s
We are the 99% of the muscles
That don’t ******* work right.
I watched a video on Parkinson's disease. Interesting stuff.
I don't know what put me on the Occupy Movement, though.

Gas station, masked man
   Save tolls for the gas can
Clean feet, ***** dozen
   Remedies for the cousin

   Sweat shops, floor mops
Save the blood for the dance floor
   Bewitched, leg twitched
Good Aiming Rednecks

Saving gay couples from the ***
I'm reading Michael Robbins, at the moment, and I find his style similar to what I wish I could write. Stuff that's open, a little ******, but honest and witty. Maybe that's what I already write; I'm not sure, but this is an offspring of mimicry.

I was once a great tree
My circumference wide
My branches long
I reached to the heavens
I yearned for water
and drank heartily
And the sun,
the sun greeted me daily

There were days
Us trees
We would lounge about
Being trees
After a time; however,
I saw so many leave
So quickly
Cut down at such ripe ages

The teeth
The teeth
The teeth they gnashed
They tore into the flesh
To the bark
I was a tree
And there were many with me
But slowly, we disappeared

The teeth
You brought
The teeth
They gnashed
You held nothing back
And ripped apart my flesh
Just like the many before me

Strap me up to an I.V.
And let the words flow deep into my blood stream

As everything seems to leave
I cleave to words
Words, words, words

I sit on islands
There are multiple
For multiple deserters
The sand an
Aggravating reminder
That one's loneliness is
One's own issue

Truly, if one were to realize
We are sand
That person would realize the multitude of people around
Instead, individually,
We fall through the hourglass
In a pile of loners
Some, reaching towards others
Others, just proud to be at the top for a bit
Still others are left at the bottom
Remembering what it tasted like
To be at the top,
For everyone to look at you.

The hourglass sits beside me
On the newest island
That I swore never to visit again
M Clement Mar 2013
Trying to turn off
Lights that were never on
Fear

He sat, completely repentant
He had hurt her before, he knew
There was defeat in his shoulders

"I would like to pray about this," he said, searching for change in a greater aspect.

Beratement
Scolding
She needs a husband who's going to be around
Better around beating than away?
He had put that past behind him
She felt reason to bring it up
Over
And
Over
She needs a husband
He's there, but apparently,
Not enough
Miscommunication
Frustration
Defeat in his being

She keeps talking and talking
Saying the same things over and over
Beating him with the same verbal stick
He feels awful
He knows his wrongs
He lacks self forgiveness
He fears himself
He fears losing her due to his own actions

He desires to pray
He wants, and is seeking change
She's stuck
Stick in hand
Ready,
On the attack

Prayer
She's stuck in a
Loop
No forgiveness in the
Hardened heart
He's defeated,
Wanting so badly for change
I watched this scene unfold before my eyes. I'm not sure why I was a bystander, and I wanted to speak; however, it was not my war; it was not my place.

Why, in God's name, are you so beautiful?
Can I buy you a drink?
Can I talk to you a bit?
No, I swear, if I was trying to get into your pants
I'd already be there.
****-y
(Insert jokes about *****, Caulks and the like)

Really, though,
I'm here to listen
I am hear
I want to be here
Like a fisherman
Your face the bait
I had to take it
The chance
Now I'm here
And I want to listen
Now I'm hear
Just pay me the same respects
I'm really trying
Just for you
****, you're beautiful
