"alabama" poems
She introduced herself, as Sunset. Batted her lashes not to be flirtatious , But to hide that her eyes were wet. All around me were blurred, but beautiful faces. Yet, my eyes only focused on hers The first that I noticed. *When I bought my first camera, From that sales-man down in Alabama. And he taught me how to use it, He said, "see here son, if I was to take your picture I'd set this camera here on portrait. But if I took a picture of that pretty little girl 'cross the road" he said with a smirk "I'd have to set this here camera on Firework"* It's funny how memories work. I think of that man now, of his coffee colored skin and straw hat. I never thought I'd need to know any of that. but right here and now I set that camera to sunset. raise it to my eye And take a picture of Sunset. As if she were a colorful sky. and that's it. some people deserve more than a portrait. And I know, I'm going to take her to a dark room. And see what develops, of her negatives. But first, I want to hear all about her crazy relatives. Who gives her, her beauty? where's she take her dog to groom? The poodle on her leash is a cutie. and what does she doodle on her notebooks? stars or hearts or sugar skulls.... Does she know she's caught me on her fishin' hook? What's she think of me, I'm sure I look dull. Why are her teary eyes so full, About to overflow. There were so many things I wanted to know.... before I took her to a dark room. But it happened And all I found in the picture that developed was gloom. I realized I was her first. And the best night of my life became my worst. because I took something from her she didn't want to give. But I just didn't know that she wouldn't want to live. Keep reading, this ends beautifully. beautifully like a sunset ends a day. But, you have to believe me when I say that's not nearly as beautifully As Sunset ends my hopes and dreams. How she ended her own life With pretty little pink pills. One....Two....Three gripped in her hand they found a picture of me. And now I know, Sunsets are all about Beautiful Endings.

Tonights the night to party Not just because I say Tonights the night to party Because it ' s the ending of the day Throw up your hands and yell yee haw Grab a drink and hit the floor Dancing without caring That's what this party's for The band is slightly out of tune But, hey who gives a **** They sound better later on When you are really lit By two a.m you'd think that they Were Alabama and  George Jones While you're trying to record them on Your prissy little phones This place don't karaoke You're singing with the band You're singing country music It's the best in all the land No running shoes, just cowboy boots Will get you in the door If you come in with a cowboy hat Make sure it faces to the front All the dude's they wear them backwards And they look like a dumb c*** Tonights the night to party Not just because I say Tonights the night to party Because it ' s the ending of the day Throw up your hands and yell yee haw Grab a drink and hit the floor Dancing without caring That's what this party's for You can listen for the steel guitar It's there in every song Hey man, this here's a country bar And steel guitar , it just belongs There's always background fiddle Drums like Levon from The Band Piano played like Jerry Lee The floor's all blood and sand You've come on out to party Now show them how a redneck does Knock back a few and get up here And when you dance, you cuss The music here will rock you It's American through and through It's a good old country party It's all red white and blue

There once was a black man... Old at heart, he fought verbally and accordingly with bold words, which abbreviated and arbitrated great art! He spoke of activism. Not just racial, and economic racism. He fought against demonic injustices for you, yes, made me see. He stood for principles of non-violence. Acknowledged corrupt government mileage, European knowledge and college. A philosopher, teacher and preacher as well as a civil rights leader. When he spoke his words of fire indeed chiseled and inspired. Causing some to conspire and also perspire! Born January 15th 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. Named in honor of the German protestant Martin Luther. Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. Making a mark in doctoral studies, systematic theology. June 5th 1955 This King married Corretta Scott in Heiberger, Alabama for many to see. Proceeding with four children: Yolanda, Martin Luther the 3rd to be! Dexter Scott and Bernice to increase the peace. Despite the European police, the movements and stressed protests, the silence, ****** and racial violence. The segregation and interrogations in force, instead of integration of course. Black mishaps, lack of differences in relapse perhaps! Plagiarized and slandered, demised by some of the wise. Accused of communistic ties. Blinded by others’ eyes and of our world’s twisted lies. Montgomery, Georgia bus boycott, 1955 was the year. However, forever in disguise, our fear of tears was apparently adhered. From here to near, also all those dear. Mere letters he wrote, from Birmingham jail I quote! From the slums, some of sums, hail and prevail! A creation prevailing into a deriving and thriving nation. Mr. King’s vision of a dream, mission, opposition, optimism and truism, on our wars, welfare and more. I suppose this sounds honest and fair. Mr. King’s theories and worries in emotionalism, evangelism, humanitarianism, racism and socialism. Nobel Peace Prize won in 1964. Regretfully, you may have heard of this before. Government conspiracies and indecencies. Assassination and discrimination, allegedly, by James Earl Ray. On April 4th, I almost choke, because for him, his blood did soak. Some thought this **** was a thrill or forced by will. Others still procrastinate in hate! However, forever Martin Luther King was and still is one of the late greats.

We stood on the wood bridge over old Shoal Creek when you reached up and shook a handful of snowflakes out of the white winter stars. Just a handful, just a few cold crystals that tumbled down into the lazy loping water of old Shoal Creek. As we watched them come down, I grabbed your magic hand and held it until those falling flakes were swallowed up and swept downstream, thinking you were as rare as an Alabama snowfall and I needed to hold your hand to keep you from disappearing just as quick.

Rare
You grew up on the side of the road, between sidewalk cracks, in backyards full of tall bahia grass, pushing aside their stems so you could find the sky. You grew up beneath the sun and out in the rain and under every booming thunderstorm an Alabama summer could throw your way. Dogs ran through you. Men, too, trampled you but you sprung back up, rumpled, but still bright, unbowing, even when they said you were just a gangly **** that no one would find beautiful. (I found you beautiful, because your face was the sun, and I find it everywhere.) You grew up. You had to grow up, grew white and fragile and one day the wind came for you and carried you away. Fly far.

As a child, I used to cut apart maps of America, separate the states and put them back together in strange geographies: Kansas against Maine, fling the Dakotas as far away from each other as they could go, press New Mexico against the breast of South Carolina. I tucked tiny Rhode Island into the palm of Michigan, gave Nebraska a seaside. I realize now the folly in these stately migrations: I never thought I’d wish I could drive across the border of Alabama into Oregon’s deep woods.

Strange Geographies
Dust flowers up from the Chilton County dusk Rust is flaking off the pickup that has a skunk musk Bullet , the blue tick hound from your sleeve pulls it Could it be another hot day in August , would it ? Peaches have last month gone to fill the niches Beaches at the river are low , full of leeches Summertime in Alabama is a long ****** Funnier than that song , swing low number Gathering distant dark blue clouds that are a mattering Battering thunder rolling , lightning shattering Huge drops splattering on clay so Rouge Deluge now soaking , coming down like a luge Passing with one loud Crack blasting Massing clouds now are just in a fasting

Lost soles . . . . never free . . . Follow me . . . see . . . have no fear . But you have handed me . . . one left shoe and a-not- her . Come old lady who lives in the shoe . . . Where are your children ? ? ? . . . a little unsteady ? Lost soles to memory , like Kentucky lightning on a warm Alabama night . All hail the underdog . All hail . . . The first left one fits nicely But the right foot has disagreement . . . feeling he has been left out .

Two left shoes
It was the time of summer where every kid had silently realized that it was ending, No longer halfway through, no longer half full Leaking and spilling out, like the gas in my twenty two year old car We couldn’t stop it, And the moments of high school summertime The moments that supposedly turn into stories we tell forever Hadn’t seemed to have happened. Both of us on the swing lazily swung Dizzily from side to side. Climbing forward, falling in reverse Our combined bodyweight shifting back and forth Tanned legs kicking up in an attempt at unison on every backwards glide. Gravity hung us there, Pulling the swing toward the ground no matter the rotation. I sat on top. I wore bleached shorts and bleached hair. I worried that gravity or more so my value to it would crush him. At the same time, I felt unbelievably small. The air pressed in on me from all angles, it touched my bare legs it easily waffled my shirt. “Mel, if you were squishing me, I would let you know”, he assured with a cocky tone of his very own that somehow made me feel special. I couldn’t help but think he was only trying to be tough Attempting to let sheer willpower overweigh my well earned quads, My six foot frame. The awkward body I never quite grew into Never knew how to masterfully control Never knew how to fill. Though I secretly (wanted to) truly believe him On this humid night I felt like the ball was in my court, Like I could do anything and everything. That nothing could go wrong That the boy that I was sitting on was genuine And that I could simply drive off to wherever. (I had a full tank of gas and enough money to get me to Alabama). I felt small in this, in this infinity of possibility all around me. Like a weight was pushing into me Putting on pressure that couldn’t be ignored That shrunk me just enough. I felt powerless to fate Powerless to this planet To this grand, glorified hunk of earth which was so much greater than me (and surely my insignificant weight anxieties). I felt like the gas was leaking out faster than I could use it. I felt like my infinity was disappearing as I swung within it. Just like that, I let the ball drop and the gas leak out. We just kept swinging. Laughing, Wasting, Talking, Dying.

When I get to be a composer I'm gonna write me some music about Daybreak in Alabama And I'm gonna put the purtiest songs in it Rising out of the ground like a swamp mist And falling out of heaven like soft dew. I'm gonna put some tall tall trees in it And the scent of pine needles And the smell of red clay after rain And long red necks And poppy colored faces And big brown arms And the field daisy eyes Of black and white black white black people And I'm gonna put white hands And black hands and brown and yellow hands And red clay earth hands in it Touching everybody with kind fingers And touching each other natural as dew In that dawn of music when I Get to be a composer And write about daybreak In Alabama.

Daybreak In Alabama
Hey Harvey Wallbanger I’d like you to tie me to the bedpost, baby And press your fuzzy navel to my *slippery ****** Give me your white angel kiss and I’ll lie down like a brown cow While between the sheets you play the Italian stallion. Like a kamikaze pilot head for my pink squirrel Then give me your ol’ Alabama slammer And pack a *** punch* into that screwdriver of yours. I want a *screaming ****** That’ll send me to blue heaven. Wu Wu! So, don’t mention that ****** Mary* With her devil’s kiss, Or you’ll find I can give a snake bite that’s as deadly as a B-52. Instead let’s ride into the tequila sunset in our golden Cadillac For *** on the beach* And on the sea breeze we'll hear an old love song sung by a ‘salty dog’ with a Gibson And watch a tropical storm over Manhattan We'll go to Peppermint Patti’s café And order an Irish coffee and a large slice of cherry pie. Happy, after dark let’s drive home for a *sloe comfortable ***** with satin pillows* And fall into the sweet surrender of a summer dream.

At the Bernie Sanders rally on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in Alabama, a middle-aged woman in the crowd fell to the floor from illness. The entire rally silenced. All 7,000 attendees turned their focus to her welfare. When the medics arrived, the crowd erupted into cheers, a heroes’ welcome. The people then applauded the ill woman once she regained the ability to walk out of the event. Two weeks prior, at a rally for the authoritarian populist Donald Trump, three white men stomped a black man. He’d worn a t-shirt that read 'Black Lives Matter.'

Georgia. Three years under my feet sat Georgia. She wasn’t my mother, My sister, My aunt, Or my cousin’s best friend’s transgender brother. Georgia Was 59, 425 square miles of home. Family. A place for unconditional love to roam. Georgia Was familiar, Like the smell of my mother’s perfume, Or my oldest family heirloom. Georgia Stretched as wide as she could Until one hand met the ocean And the other held hands with Alabama, Their history together still slightly filled with tension. Georgia Bumped shoulders with South Carolina, Each unaware of the changes that were about to take place A fifteen year long path they could never retrace.

My Mamma cried When she'd heard what I'd done My Daddy went back inside And he grabbed his gun I'd met a girl on the other side of town Of course I am white and of course she is brown I don't rightly care cause we're both in love And I ain't gonna let her suffer none We's from Birmingham Down South Birmingham Alabama you see If'n you must know the year I'd say a shameful 1963 There was unrest amongst the people Which was bad enough But it was doubly troublesome On our taboo love Deep segregation kept our worlds apart Something the youth of the day couldn't see Outside color don't matter, it's what's in the heart That's the hold she has over me Not really sure things have changed all that much Though it's our nature to want to pretend I'm not much into caring what others might think Sometimes you gotta stand up like a man I'm telling this tale from my front porch swing As I listen to my Grandchildren's playful screams While holding hands rocking back and forth My lovely brown skinned beauty and me

Reunion Of The K.K.K. I jumped from the plane with a prayer and a dream, gonna hook up with my old Alabama team. Welcome to the land of red necks, a place filled with no excess. I got in the closest taxi cab, white robe I had to nab. This all seems so crazy, tired of being so **** lazy. Lots of pressure, getting kinda nervous, they say it's my civil service. Then the Eminem song came on, then the Eminem song came on, so I then twirled my white baton. With butterflies in my tummy, starting to feel like a dummy. Hands up while they play my song, time has come, it won't be long. It's a reunion of the k.k.k, it's a reunion of the k.k.k, it's a black person buffet. Get out in the hood, from the cab, my white hooded robe, I had to grab. Everyone looks at me now, I just wave and give a bow. They can tell I'm from out of town, hundreds of black people with a frown. It was sometime around noon, when they played my favorite tune. It's a song from the Insane Clown Posse, it's a song from the Insane Clown Posse, us ten members started to get bossy. It's a reunion of the k.k.k, it's a reunion of the k.k.k, some people are gonna die today. Burning crosses on the street, as we get our ***** beat. Throw my hands up, like in the sixties, we knew this would be a bit risky. It was a reunion of the k.k.k, it was a reunion of the k.k.k, now our heads are on display.

Reunion Of The K.K.K.
When I hear a concealed clock ticking, I think it's some shouldered past jello grenade ready to chastise my fletched thumbs. Like the last time Sandman drew supper with his knees, and decided to fling cherry cobbler at my nose, I realized this homeless perfume actually belonged to Mother. Her pearls redeem her complexion, milk marrow of silk against her nose-- three strikes dawdling their tongues from underneath tin necks. Steady, rinse, exfoliate: but those are difficult to do when your rib cage cracks like the last octave of a reddening audience. Brother thinks the tree skirt is soft, coddling his pats and rabbits below a ranch full o' pine scented apples. Sister wonders if she should bring new girl home, (met at 1:33 AM on 23rd Street. Apartment documented to smell like baby powder) but friends are friends are friends are friends, just friends as furrowed Daddy repeats to himself. Even "Hallowed be thy name..." confuses the CCD out of him. "Cancel Alabama's trip this year; the bees will be humming in their own candle wax. Besides, who wants to hug Nana when her breath doubles over in grilled salmon?"

O Christ!mas Tree
I left the dust and tumble weeds to be incomplete and moved back east to where I was born The trees crowded together There was a change in the weather I asked mom , "Is that rain?" The people were crowded With one thought and mind Everything was designated to be black or white We caught catfish from the Alabama River Swam in pristine streams full of soapstone Then we moved again Crossed Texas on our way west Crossed the continental devide Came to rest in Spokane I sang God Bless America while sitting on a fire hydrant Looking at the purple mountain's majesty Then off again back east Crossed Texas the third time To Panama City , Florida where we came to reside There I learned to abide by the tide And that some things you can't hide Two and a half years of bliss Then we moved once again And again and again and again and again and again , again again , again , again . . . . All my travels All my travails I have found home in the moment within me .

East Out Of Texas
Today for the first time I felt my own mortality. Before, I went through life deliberately ignoring death and its couriers absently aware but blind to the dangers of life. Today I realized that life is nothing but a quest to escape death neverending, never ending until that day when everything stops. Before today I never had to evaluate my life in a split second but today I had to remember anything and decide (not like I had a choice) if I was ready or not. Twelve more inches and who knows what I would be saying now.

Mack Meets Alabama
*in purple haze of reverie, the gentle visitor came beckoning kindly…come, come to our V I R I D I A N world* . . . 1. On our cerulean sphere You need have no query, nor fear We open our non-gravity planet to guests Even unlikely earthlings who pass the simplest flaxen-test. 2. Much less needed, we bedaub Our flavescent lava-vision, going beyond the orb Mild kaleidoscopic fandango-swirls is our mossy cyan-matter Triplet-hue colours felt only by the revered and well-known mad Hatter. 3. To let you in on the cosmic-latte ripple Our flowers range from acid-green to African purple Blast-off bronze flora dance-blaze in  burnt sienna fields Alabama crimson rocks and aureolin skies over anti-flash white seas. 4. We confabul8 with deer, breezes, plumes Such creatures roam free, for we do not consume As slumber befalls us not, you wonder how we spend time Frolic in universal peace; to welcome home stars as our rhyme. *you are so welcomed, celestial guest Vortexiamus awaits only you* S T, 28 july 2013

Strange, except true. Some folks refuses to face the real truth. Whenever asked, who profited more from racism? Since Civil War and probably before. We all within the real world know this answer. Using the politicians present and of the days of old. They craft legislature to hold back some. Just like laws created to banned throw from counters and selected water fountains. Where the water were the same color? So, who profited more from racism? Presently, we heard "Black Lives Matter" which isn't against any particular group. But as with any controversy some complains and miss the point. Which were addressing verdicts decided by juries in courts. Where some are dead on? And others completely wrong. Then like a Four Tops songs "It's The Same Old Song". The power that be always complains they being done wrong. Without addressing, who profited more from racism? Families with good connection. Where their child should be serving time? Instead on probation seeking some type treatment. Because the power of wealth works decisive in those decision. Facts, has been written and analyzed several times. That white often don't how to handle conflicts with others. Then when you bring this up. Many use the reverse racism tricks. Failing to comprehend many white judges courts decision that got off many. We seen this in Alabama and Mississippi during the sixties. And continue to in the present. If up for votes whites would revert back to segregation. Cause been on a competing level they finding out education truly matters. Then they had better schools in the past. And was the creator of white flight. But history has pointed out during days of old they terrorized blacks during the nights. So who profited off of racism? Of course this is just one person's question?

Please excuse my drivel of words as I ascertain my inexcusable lustless love life. However, humor me for a second… But I’m looking for Miss Alabama Worley. Mississippi Isabel, **** it, Lady Macbeth would do. That ***** knows crazy. Where is the incomprehensible insufferable beast? That will take my heart in one foul swipe and refuse Me rest till I’ve given her lust the spearing of a hungry tribesman. I want the lock and chain around my ***** because my naked vulnerability Is hers for the taking. Beat me, Oh monstrosity of the bedroom Let the blood drip as I lick your foot. Indulge me with the endless sweat and tears of the night. And **** me like a rock star Till I taste the rubber. Where is the whirlwind passion? Love at first sight. And not the giddy looks of something Michael Cera starred in. I am talking tattoos on the first date, Reckless marriage doomed by the 50 pound ring on her finger. Put me in a ****** east end flat, Let me starve because ******* is food for the brain, And her ***** tastes delectable when I’m high. **** my brother in our bed, I never liked him anyway. A best friend is a man who’s shared the same hole. And trust me, we’re closer than ever. You’ll be all I’ve got. I’ll sleep on the couch and crawl back to you, Because I'm wrong, I am always wrong. Laugh at the scars on my wrists Pity isn’t there for the taking. Leave me shaking in the corners of my mind, Let lust grow like anger and revenge Let anger and revenge grow When I go soft on you, Put those cigarettes out on my chest, And choke me; asphyxiate me from the inside out. I want to burn in the hellish rapture Betwixt your thighs. ******* fire in half an hour, God knows where you got it from. But those who care share, right? But then, Perhaps I’ll just end up like my parents, Settle down with a nice girl. A nice normal girl, Missionary position isn’t that bad I ‘spose.
