#talker
Girl, you so jive.
You can talk butter off bread
all sweet, whether the sun is shining or not.
I seen your type before,
wearing a dress, your purse matching
whatever printed accent
swaying in the wind.
I bet when it rains,
it doesn’t touch you
too busy moving,
too many things going on.
I bet you smile
even when no one is around.
Who needs company
when you got it going on like that?
Gone head, snap your fingers,
do your step
with your jive self.
You walk in like you own the place,
scratching off pieces of your heart
whether it’s the right place
or the wrong time.
One thing they can’t say
about you
is that you hold up the line.
Everybody gets a piece.
You ain’t fooling nobody
with your jive self.
Some things
are more important than money.
With your sweet,
jive self.

To me,
My words,
Are my thoughts.
Milk in a pan drifting,
Lazily in mexican waves,
On tiptoes with fingertips,
Stroking the three litre line.
to you
my words are
the time you blinked
and clots of milk swelled into pregnant pufferfishes
and a siren hissed incessant incantions you swore fate birthed to hex your mind
and a trident foamed at the mouth relishing the theft of nature's permission to shapeshift into a lightening bolt and to zap your stove a blistering white in three times ten to the eight metres per second

the owner operator
of the poetry
site
doesn't adhere to
his own guideline's
rite
it states that all members
must be
polite
yet he allowed slurs
from the Michigan
*****
one clearly recalls
what happened on that
day
a lowlife bloke used the term
***** in an offensive
way
whereupon the poetess who'd received
his nasty comment, left the site's
bay
she'd not be subject
to this derogatory
spray
no action taken against
the one in the
wrong
he still remains part
of the site's
throng
an injustice within
the owner's weak
song
the smell of it is unforgettable
of reeking
pong
would seem that the trash talker ****
does whatever he
likes
and the webmaster is complicit
in the words he
trikes

Sitting in a crowded room,
everybody has something to say,
i try to tell a story but
nobody would listen.
At that moment when i try to raise my voice,
i just realise that am blocked out.
I sit alone in a crowed room and i wonder what my purpose is.
Much of a helper thats all i am,
much of a planner thats what i am,
so much of a listener and a talker when something needs to be solved,
but less than that am blocked out,
less than that am invisible.
Thats what i am
just less than that
