"abcs" poems
I feel like a friend-- a true friend, is more than a profile on a website. And peace is more than a handshake agreement brought by the outcome of a gruesome fight. I know that self worth is more than someone's opinion, and in no other dominion but mine own to foster and care for.   And I can see that happiness is more than having money, sure, cause most of us laugh everyday here, and come on, we're dirt poor. And I pray the human soul is more than Casper's counterpart, somewhere between the heart and the pancreas. And God, faith is so much more than cryin' and dyin' over spilt milk between religions. And in case you were confused, "I love you", is more than pet names, bed games, and *** Music is more than pimps, hoes, and MTV Shows, and T-Pain singin through a computer. Believe that life is more than grades and degrees, or drugs and disease, or the 'ABCs' of success that some old man wrote a thousand years ago. This poem has to be more than words strewn together to voice my discontent at the status-quo.. Hell, the word "more" itself is more than a one-syllable statment that what we lack in the present is just a larger quantity of the **** "we already have", and no! The power of your silent agreement is more than that of my voice alone, so... What is "more"? In many ways, "more" is the friend you never had. More peace in the world would end all the mindless bloodshed. More respect and selfworth would bring beauty back to youth, especially to the women in the world, that sell their unique souls to look like the cover of Cosmo. More faith, that grants serenity in the times of hardship, will be the soothing hand of an Angel on our shoulders as we say, "I love you" to our enemies, martyrs for a better world. More positive music will inspire us, to be the change we want to see in the world, today, instead of, "Waitin' on the World to Change "♫ ♪ ♫♪ So ladies and gentlemen, make a decision: if you want to be critics and vipers, war mongers and hope-snipers, ignore my intention, and live with more division. But, if any of you are artists starving for meaning and inspiration, if you envision a world of more than... THIS... Then let a word change a feeling, change a thought, change a meaning, change your mind... And get more out of life.

Jeff Corwin Teaches Lindsay Lohan the ABCs
I've learned my ABCs at one, learned to read by four, constructed my paragraphs at six, a know-it-all reciting parts of speech by seven. Letters assembled themselves ready for scrabble. Rocks, paper, scissors, I never learned to let go of the paper. And grew up with dry fingers caressing books. Breathing in language and literature. They say you can only love something so much until it leaves you empty. But I've only ever truly loved a few things about life, and first was how words strung empathy. The way I wrote about tying yellow ribbons on trees for a hero at eleven, wrote about anything that won me passports to a passion I had to sacrifice a few years later after fourteen, wrote about the boy who broke my heart at seventeen, wrote about the monsters in my head at nineteen. I don't know how words always found me whenever I tried to run away from the world; how they kept my sanity along with melodies for as long as I can remember, and made countless others feel less alone. What I love is a weapon that has sparked revolutions, waged wars. What I love is art that built acropolises from embers and most the world's wonders. It rushes euphoriant through my veins as much as it does through yours, yet it is neither blood nor oxygen. It is all the words burning as we keep them hidden, dying for us to give them meaning.

The ABCs of PIE
Always saying I love you, baby. But they’ve only been together a day. Captivated by the way the Darkness of each other’s pupils grow Every time they touch. Forcing the kind of relationships, but more of the Groping, that they saw in the movies. Heated make out sessions in the church youth room, with Intensity that could make strippers blush. Juxtaposing every inch of their bodies. Knowing what to do only because of what they Learned in health class. Trying to Master the art of *** and what they call love, Not caring who knows. Living off each Other’s breaths. Fabricating Plans and stories for their parents when they’re caught Quietly sneaking back into their Rooms at four in the morning, Shutting their doors and their eyelids, Tracing remnant goose bumps. Until the sun shines into their windows, Violating their dreams of Cinderella and Prince Charming, Washing the night from their skin, and shoving their ****** memories to the back and hiding them in a drawer. Yearning to be touched again, by whom ever the next Zephyr can blow into their neighborhood.

Teen Love, Like Knowing the ABCs But Not Any Words: Listen to These Kids
See you our server farm that hums And serves HTTP? It's spun its disks and done its sums Ever since Berners-Lee. See you our mainframe spewing out The Towers of Hanoi? It's moved recursive discs about Since Babbage was a boy. See you our ZX81 That prints the ABCs? That very program used to run With Lovelace at the keys. Magnetic floppy disks and hard, And tape with patience torn, And eighty columns on a card, And so was England born! She is not any common thing, Water or Wood or Air, But Turing's Isle of Programming, Where you and I will fare.

Turing's sword
The clock smiled at us as if it knew we were lost. Unable to see the path, we continued along on the wrong side of the ones and zeroes. Tired of our aimless float; fumbling along in the vacuums of our ignorance. With all kinds of navigational aids to chart our journey we mostly relied upon the compass tattooed over our hearts While lost in the chasm of our indecision our bodies and minds listed. Our attempts to unpack the endless parcels of our unrest ... proved futile. So carefully, we re-learned the ABCs and re-interpreted the Western Canon, finding that it was only by closing our eyes that we were able to see; were able to feel. However, the rhythm was off which was immaterial  as our feathers were ruffled and the rhetoric was pluming. With the overture of the new day dawning we turned our back on the algorithms of our demise and shucked off self-imposed limitations. You see, it was thirty seconds to midnight and the world that never seemed to want us needed us now. So like anemic royalty, we took flight breathing down rarefied air and gulping the nuances of our resilience to swallow: our intergenerational trauma one more time.

I will work for food The sign he held in his hand As the cars drove by Giving nothing in his can Thinks of his children At school learning ABCs Wondering tonight What food will we have to eat A passer by yells Get a job you piece of crap Times used to be good Then economic mishap Tears well in his eyes Because he did think the same Now on the corner Wondering who is to blame It will be simple If the sign says I will work The pain is the same Makes him want to go berserk All day he holds it He tries to think how to change Things for his children Get things back to being plain Time to get the kids Tonight they have a burger Reaching the shelter He looks after their hunger Tomorrow looks bright He has money to start with Looking for a job Gone is his faith in the myth The myth that is told If you keep on working hard Life will be better Living without being marred No matter stature Could happen to anyone Have it all today Tomorrow it could be gone

Will Work For Food
Anytime you feel lonely Beckon for me to come into your arms Catch hold of my hand in the shadows, in the back row Don't let go. Every day is a new day Feeling good Good feeling Happy... Almost. I don't want you to leave as well Just stay, please... Keep your fingers crossed Love the way that your dark eyes shine so brightly My heart races in your presence No good can come from this Only few understand. Please hold on for a little longer Quit with the teasing already Ridiculous, our circumstances... Slow down, I want to know more Tell me your deepest secrets Under the light of the moon. Velvet blankets, picnic baskets What's next? Xoxo, your biggest fan You never did understand my jokes Zzzzzz, goodnight, day dreamer... *Now I know my ABCs, Next time won't you comfort me?*

My ABCs
Absolutely and without a doubt she is the Best thing that ever happened me. She strode Casually and awkwardly into my life, in the process Defining for me the until-then Ever-changing parameters of what I wanted. **** I can’t get out of my mind this blue eyed Goddess of a girl who is always Hoping for something more. I love her so much and yet I have a habit of playing practical Jokes to hide how much the distance is Killing me. Looking at us, you would never know we’ve spent More months apart than we had together. Never did I think that she would be The One; that love would be so easy; that she would be so Perfect. Questions ricochet around the mazes of her mind, she examines the world extensively, Riveting anyone who takes the time to listen to her discoveries. Sassy, **** and smart, she’s got everything and To me she is everything. Ubiquitous, there is nothing that doesn’t make me think of this girl, life itself serving as a constant Validation that she exists- that she is not too good to be true. While the earth rockets its way through space it’s as if Xanthan gum holds us together, no matter how far apart you Yank us, we’re stuck like glue. I could talk about her forever, literally Zillions of words could be said about this wonder of a woman who will never cease to be The alphabet spelling out the rhythm of my heart.

ABCs
There strolls another father, Scrolling while his daughter Rides her stroller as they stroll. He really oughtn't scroll, She's awake as they stroll; It's a stroller, not a scroller. The purpose of a stroll, Is to walk and talk the prattle, The speach that infants rattle While strolling in their stroller. Sing to your child, Stroll all the while, Hum or whistle, Mumble……..Grumble; But don't silently scroll on, While strolling with the stroller. Recall childhood rhymes, if you can, Say the ABCs or count to ten; Talk of little piggies and brazen toads, Meaningful memories, And yellow brick roads. Enjoy your strolling. Enjoy your scrolling.

Alone. By September until who knows when, that is how I will start and end my days. Calm mornings will no longer begin with the sound of your chatter. Dead silence will fill the air as I eat my dinner all alone. Every empty chair will be a reminder that you are not home. From spending almost every waking hour together, we will only exchange brief messages each day. Growing up has led us to this—one of you in Manila and the other one in Tokyo. I’ll feel stuck in the four corners of my little room while you’re both someplace else. Just the thought of not having both of you around makes me feel like a deer caught in the headlights. Kisses, embraces, and affectionate teasing only older sisters could ever give will become less frequent… Loneliness is something I have never known. Mom and Dad will still be here, but they will be busy too, and I would not want to bother them. Nothing will fill in the spaces of the house the way they’re occupied while you’re here— One of you painting in watercolor by the windowsill, the other one listening to music until the wee hours of the morning. Please always tell me about your day while you’re away, no matter how ordinary or great it may be. Q¬uiet the noises that will shout in the head of a younger sister who is all alone. Rise and live the way you have always wanted, but don’t forget about me. Shine to the world the way you shine in my eyes. Think of me as I think of you. Ultimately, all I will do will come down to waiting for you to come back home. Vinyls we share will rarely spin, the books we borrow from one another will be left to dust on the shelves. What was once a house filled to the brim with voices and love only sisters could have will feel spacious and empty. Xylophone clanging and the strumming of the guitar from the childhood we shared will seem so distant, but I will do all I can to make it feel like you are not far away— Your favorite song will come up on the radio on some nights and I will sing along as we would sing together: “Ziggy played guitar, jamming good with Weird and Gilly, and the spiders from Mars….”

Before I ever went to school I thought I knew it all I could count to ten and back again And bounce a rubber ball I could spell my name with no mistakes, Knew 1 and 1 is 2, Knew how to say the alphabet And how to tie my shoe. Then I went to school and found I didn’t know a lot. There was so much stuff I had to know I mostly just forgot. Music, art, and English, physics, bio, French, and math. Social studies, history, so much stuff it made me laugh. My younger self had no idea how much more there was to know The more I aged the more I knew the more I’d learn and grow. When I finished high school I was smarter than before I knew I didn’t know it all so I went back to learn some more.    This time when I went to school I wasn’t so naïve. I knew I’d have to hit the books in order to achieve. If grade school was confusing I figured college would be worse. If I was going to expand my mind I should expect a lot of work. There was a lot more subjects and they took a lot more time. I wondered how there could be room to store so much knowledge into just one mind. You know that feeling that you get when there’s so much knowledge you feel as though If they feed you any more of it your head just might explode? My mind was like a barrel that was filled up past the brim with rocks And when you tried to add one more, then two would trickle off. I thought that I would have to quit but there was still so much I didn’t know. But I chose to stay though doom seemed near because I didn’t want to go. With failure in my future I bit my lip and I pressed on. In time I noticed something odd, some of the rocks were gone. But the rocks had not been falling out as I tossed more in from my hand They simply had begun to change from rocks right into sand. All these things I knew Were now all becoming one Witch made more room for knowing more And knowing once more was fun It wasn’t like when I was small And thought I knew it all. But the ease of it was similar I felt more on the ball. I recalled before I went to school And 4 things that I knew: Spell my name, and 1+1, ABCs, and tie my shoe. The one main thing that I know now That I didn’t know before This list of things I knew is 2 It isn’t really 4. Because I know my adding It is very clear to see I tie with laces 1 and 2 Not laces 1 and 3. I spell my name with no mistakes Because I know my ABCs. It doesn’t mean that I know less I just know with much more ease. At first the more you know and know The bigger is the mess. But when it comes together The load becomes much less For when your barrel is so full You think it will explode The rocks will blend together And you’ll have more room to grow.

The Miss, Misters and Mrs., And the St. Joseph's Sisters, Made me a Bluejay, Jay- jaying and soaring Over Wrens and Robins Below in five rows. Teeth marks on Ticondarogas, Initialed pink rubbers, Toothpicks and fingers Solved all those problems. Sister Lucille showed me Sarnia On the Neilson Wall Map, With the Malted Milk, Crispy Crunch bars staring back. They looked too delicious, Her reprimand was contritious, I'm doing time during recess, Ninety minutes til lunch. We stood in a crooked line, Like a snake, to get marked, With her drawer a crack open We'd get a peek at her strap. Black or red, correctively cold; Sister Roseangela, we'd heard, Cried, Quid Pro Quo. We had football baseball, And hockey dreams, Volleyball, basketball, And funeral teams; Field Days, Holy Days, Days needed at home; Teachers were coaches, With little time to complain; But the kids back then Just weren't the same. There were skirmishes, fouls, Strike outs and time outs; We were sliced white bread, No rye or whole grain. We'd march double file Once a week to the Church, To genuflect and reflect At the Stations and Cross. To confess, get redress, Display penitent remorse, Though keeping a secret From the Confessional box, A comfort and curse. Their objective succeeded, The lessons went deep; Using the three Rs, The ABCs, 1, 2, 3s, To impart and ingraine How to carry one's cross. I remember by name The Miss,  Misters and Mrs. And St. Joseph's Sisters Who gave their all, Each day, and always. They've gone or retired, But recalled in tranquility For the life-lessons I admire.

Astro capsuls(car) warm delight Ballistic speeds to the extreme Catagorised on shape and style Detour from the mentor Elevated on pavement close to enslavement First to the mark forging through the dark Grounds down below like a rivers flow Highlighted with lines to guide you along I see the danger to react is no stranger Jerky action bad disaster Klinkity klink klink on a broken castor Left outta breath, DMT the chemical master Money leaves my pocket to fix my expensive little rocket Need all my wheels to feel, now its heel to heel Orange is the word that mixes well with porrage Porrage stays good in storage unlike an orange Question the suggestion of a new auto selection Running and walking without the radio theres more talking Service stations fuel the imagination Time slips by in the wink of an eye Under the weather convertables arnt better Vast spaces traced in the unknown race Watching life through layers of sand X-ray vision lights at hand Yellow dot marks the spot of caution Zenieth and zorrow were standing on the Yellow and thats how i crashed my ABCs next time wont you please GET THE **** OFF THE ROAD for me

Amber was an atheist, she thought the world was dumb as hell. Britney was a botanist, who had a fertilizer smell. Candice was a coroner, a scary passion for the stiffs. Diana was a drummer chick, that knew a few guitar riffs. Evelyn was evil, man, all leather suits and chains and whips. Farrah was a therapist, got in my brain with swinging hips. Greta was a gunslinger, she'd give most anything a shot. Hannah was a homebody- shy as hell, but twice as hot. Iris was an Ivy Leaguer, thought I was a total fool. Janice was a juggler, who liked to play with power tools. Kimmy taught karate, who dated me just for the kicks. Louise was a lyricist, who wrote about how guys were ***** Marilyn was mostly mean, she liked to fight and then make up. Nancy was so negative, I had no choice but to break up. Opal was an occultist, who liked to gossip with the dead. Paula was a ********** that made me pay to come to bed. Queenie was inquisitive, the questions were too much to bear. Rosie was a recluse who never shaved or brushed her hair. Sidney was a sinful sort, with toys and gadgets 'neath the bed. Tina was a twisted chick, with thirteen voices in her head. Ursula was uber-cool, always on the latest trends. Vicky was on Vicodin, and we all know how that one ends. Wanda was a wanderer, that left to join a circus troupe. Xena the exhibitionist liked to do it on the stoop. Yolanda was young and fine, and nearly cost me everything. Zoey was a Zombie fan, she got hot when he would sing. I'd like to say I've settled down, but since the alphabet is done, I'm gonna met an Ann or Anita, and give it all another run.

ABC
I live inside a little boy's head My birth day was the day he figured out he had an imagination Last night he had a nightmare His dream only lasted a few minutes But I lived inside that course of time for 10 months. He dreamed of suicide and manic depression. Upon awakening doused in sweat and tears His mother told him it was only a dream. He thought up the shape of my arms Because he loved how his daddy's looked. And then he curled my hair to look like the girl down the street. At age 3 he learned his ABCs and He dreamt me to be a writer. He couldn't spell any of the words That he pretended me to write. I sleep more often now Because he forgets to remember his dreams. The little boy is getting older And so am I. My life unfolds in REM My entire reality was built inside this little boy's head... I hope he sleeps well tonight Because it's been raining a lot And the weatherman said that it would be sunny. Someday when we're older I will meet the little boy who invented me But for now I only live inside a little boy's head Being forgotten as he falls in love.

Counting Backwards
And that's the way it is Before you even know it's too late Counting your blessings seems vain Doesn't it? Even the bad die young Forget everything I ever said ******* it Half-empty glasses don't tip over I can't prove that to you Just to make you happy Keep telling me I'm wrong Lust is just safer than love Make me want you only once Next, forget my name Only the lonely Pretend to be fine Questions only lead to things you don't want to hear Rational people keep it all to themselves Show me who I really am Then trade me in for something new Unwind yourself and Very carefully Wrap me in what bound you X marks the spot You'll use invisible ink and Zone in on your target
