"antarctica" poems
I'm a photographer, and I can't picture you and I together. If I were a stop light, I'd turn green everytime you passed by, just so I don't have to see you any longer. I thought happiness started with an HAPPI. Why does mine start with NOT U? Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I run and hide. Do you have a map? I need to figure out a way to get the hell away from you. Do you live in a corn field, cause I'm just gonna harvest you and sell you to someone else. Are you a parking ticket? 'Cause you've got Violation written all over you. You look cold. Good. Freeze to death. Can I have directions? [To where?] To get the hell away from you. I'm not drunk, I'm just intoxicated enough to tolerate talking to you. I was so disgusted by your face that I ran into that wall over there. But thank god I don't have insurance, so don't bother telling me your name and number. Is there an airport nearby, cause I'm gotta get on the next flight to Antarctica and get the hell away from you. You look so familiar… didn't we take a class together? I could've sworn we had physical education, where I was educated how to physically hurt you. If you are a steak, I'd say you are too meaty. Can I have a picture of you? So I can show Santa what I don't want for Christmas. There must be something wrong with my eyes, they've started bleeding at the sight of you.

Rejection lines (follow up to Pickup Lines)
Outside of a bar in a North Carolina strip mall, stone cold sober because I am scared to use my fake, I feel drunk as you sit next to me. Perhaps I am. I'd have to be to think maybe, maybe, maybe, when I know, I know, I know. Your hand brushes against mine, and you're saying the most beautiful words I've ever heard, and the fire in my heart spreads up, down, left, right. But it cannot spread just four inches outside of my body. It cannot set you on fire, too. We listen to each other and hear two very different things. You are birdsong outside of my window that I am eager to hear; I am traffic outside of your window you've learned to tune out at bedtime.   If there are nine million bicycles in Beijing, then Beijing is my insides and bicycles are your name, because it is written on my insides nine million times. But there are no bicycles on Antarctica. There is no use for them there, just as there's no use for my name to be perched on a straight girl's ribs. You tell me my weird hobby of listening to French rap music is awesome, that it's so cool that I'm teaching myself three languages, and that you want to be me when you grow up - I laugh, because you're several years older than me. Selfishly I catch every droplet of your praise.  I ruminate on it for hours, for days. It means more to me than it should. My name sounds like a compliment from your mouth. I try not to say yours too often, so you don't grow tired of me being around. If I can't set your insides on fire, I want you to want to be my friend. Even that feels like I ask for too much. In every scene, I see you in the foreground of the narrative. For me, it would be on honor to be one of your background characters. Narratives are richer with them anyway. I look at you and you are the Harry Potter movie marathon I wait months for. For you, I am the 2 am infomercial you fell asleep to. But I don't mind half as much as I should. Even white noise has its place in someone's life.

You have no idea What it's like, to be a woman Everyday is a baptism by fire As she walks on the street Hundred hands appear From nowhere, as if conjured By a deft flick Of a magician's wand A magician who sends chills Down the length of her spine Chills that surpass even those On a wintry night in Antarctica Leaving her frozen Till every bone stands still As she is stripped of her dignity Reduced to a shadow of her self She strains every sinew in her throat As she sends out a distress signal Which fails to be intercepted As the people look on Some with fear Some with sheer indifference Some with a perverse interest But none answer the call of duty The call which is as basic As the need for oxygen You have no idea What it's like, to be a woman As she heads home Seeking much needed solace She is instead upbraided For wearing a short skirt For walking alone in the night For not being a lady As she fails to get support From the family she holds dear As a shipwreck survivor Barely floating in freezing waters Clings on to that piece of wood Her self-esteem nosedives Like that fateful Air India flight That crashed at Mangalore And shifts the blame onto herself For not understanding the men Who've brought her to this state And succumbs to Stockholm Syndrome Completing a vicious circle Leaving men and the patriarchy winners Winners who deserve the title As much as a student Who clears his trimesters Using bits of paper Tucked neatly inside his shoes

If this poem had a life before I wrote it, this poem was a penguin. This poem waddled, not just because it was a penguin, also because this poem was fat. This poem was a fat penguin. And not just the black and white kind; this poem was an electric blue fat penguin who never really understood it was different until its parents let it out to play with the other little penguins and they started teasing it and calling it blue bird. Until that moment, this poem had no idea that it was a bird. All this poem knew was that its heartbeat was like a simile and it had metaphors for feet and they did not dance. This poem embraced its electric blue nature and never saw itself as the underdog because it was a penguin who lived in Antarctica and it had no concept of what a dog was or what it might be under. Penguins just don’t think like that. This poem smacked a seal with a couplet underwater. None of the other penguins believed it, but it did. This poem waddled with a lazy swag and leaned a little to the right so sometimes it walked in circles. This poem had 360 degrees of perspective and -50 degree wind chills. This poem had more than 50 words for snow and no words for poetry. It just lived and didn't even listen to what other people wrote about it because it's windy in Antarctica and you can't really hear much.

You give AWFUL HUGS
I lived my half dictionary life before I could comprehend compulsory compromises. Collectors arise, disguises and devices beeping, chastising my blindness. Gather geography from Afghanistan and Myanmar graciously growing gold gilded gift horses, gleefully gloating about floating far away. My hoof beats above concrete match my heart’s defeat across borders and mountains embroidering cardboard cut-outs calling deserts, decorating front covers. Exhaling handcrafted letters for my missing half, half demanding highest caliber commanders and half commanding completion. Jade jays joyfully lay arrays of bouquets fragile flowers decay faraway in jawbones and jail cells. Begging farewells in a hotel’s lobby began my hobby, early morning coffee and carbon copies concurringly cocky around his dead body. Gang ciphers for cartels are Christmas bells hissing at collars, half dollars embellishing bar crawlers godfathers hollering at car haulers. Atrocities across cities attack, attachable atrophies audibly ambush arthritic anthologies. Anomalies begin apologies between apostrophes, advancing autonomy arousing ancient animosities. All eluding Antarctica, giant frozen crests, multi-coloured ice hidden in my illustrations anxious for my distant half. Friday cassettes and cigarettes deliberately making bets following “M”. Breaking bindings and finding “beta” in alphabet, may feasibly end in debt.

The baby walrus shrimp
I was a traveler. She was a poet. l visited almost half of the world. She wrote about it. I loved to wonder. She was wanderlust. I've been from North to West, from Australia to Antarctica. She saw them from her computer screen. I loved her, as much as I loved to travel the world. She loved me as if I was the world.. or something. Though in my eyes, she didn't even compare to the Eiffel tower or the great wall of China. She was much more majestic. She said she could write about me all day. I said I could explore every inch of her, every day. And although I traveled everywhere and anywhere you could imagine, she was by far my favorite tourist attraction. She was my world. She was the whole world. In a day.

Attraction.
I'm just getting in the bath, Someone else wrote the letter, I don't want to make a. Mess. Draw me the water I point at the tap Burden no family Hold my head under icecaps. Merkel Cells, diluted sensation, The end of fingertips cant feel your Flesh. Shriveling in the cold, Shivering to stop freezing, But I cant. What am I doing? Can I want this now, errectores pilorum erected. Have I set motion to, Cogs in a watch I cant adjust. my lungs mark absolute zero this is me sitting in chemistry class english 10th grade asking sam to suffocate with me every alvioli is pinned by ****** as thick as knitting needles my chest is permafrost my sternum, antarctica the ribs hollow out capillary beds lose all the haem out of their erythrocytes I'm losing St. Elmo's Fire. The baths still panting out, Water roars, gushing spout. Proud the current sweeps me through, The porcelain lining this white hell bathroom. It's bone cannot hide from my blood, As if I'm isotope 226 of Radium. Heat seeking marrow. My serum is Hodgkins Lymphoma, Tearing through sheeting tile, Like a young cancer child, Afflicted, Leukemia, No chance, No good blood left, To let. Soon, it will all be gone, and the rivers that freeze in my arms, and the ribs that are icicles form, and the atrial canal is not like Venice, it is the Rhine in winter, the Volga during the solstice. Spring will never come again. Spring slipped its head into the bath water, like my own.

Winter. New York. North Pole. Antarctica. It's like entering a Winter Wonderland! Building a snowman is as fun as shoveling with dad. Sledding downhill is as exciting as going down a roller coaster. Printing snow angels is as gorgeous as the white snow falling down. Drinking hot chocolate gives my heart a hug. It's the season I love the best which is Winter.

Bi polar bear bouncing up and down on a summer high one year Got to walk the wall in China before I wore those shirts an excuse to use/not to wear When I was getting perks And reminding me to stay in line how lucky that it is to get all of this for nothing more than just a Kremlin kiss Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin Chatting after she had tea And we're hiding from the KGB Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin And I went up to Alaska, the final frontier Found a tent to defrost in Antarctica Sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor Where it is all lit up and I rode the Himalayan Sky Sold the pictures to the book with yellow trim and Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin Flying there again. Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin Kissing in the Kremlin Kissing in the Kremlin

Alice is being put back into the basket The last thing she saw were pelican wings She’s being shipped off to Africa, Alaska, Antarctica Where all her ideas won’t mean a thing Barrel of monkeys, household deities Ballerina idol figurines Empty harvest, ashen dreams Scapegoat of all mystery Send her to Babylon, Venus, New York Build her a temple for the deported Cause she’ll never be destroyed Just atrociously unemployed While everyone back home On their counterfeit thrones Saturate the seventh day Plagiarizing her decay So keep the lid on tight Say your prayers as you fight Off chaotic thoughts And warnings made in tears As Alice is being put back into the basket We continue bobbing for apples

Sad salty water trickles down your face, it plops down on the ground, and your head droops down. Your heart is slowing down, you feel blue. You feel as if you were in a world of sadness, alone in the world. It would have trees without leaves, and the ground as cold as Antarctica. Breathing slowly, soundlessly, as the wind goes whistling by.

i know, it's not exactly mesmerising such bounties with such curdling crudeness, but that's how it is, with eyes vectoring into the above, cobalt, the highest pinnacle of the depths, a shade like any other, and then seeking the horizon, the dilution of the formidable shade into Arctic... a near white, but not exactly white, not exactly worth metaphor that's a kindred of white & black as lack & lack... just the see-through colour for the allowance of possessing eyes, not near melted mirrors of mercury, but by day, the highest peak blue in hue of cobalt, and when walking from the mountain's peak, the eyes spot the Arctic and Adriatic mist hues outlining a bordering of all things elemantal... the transparency of the whole dynamo on being grounded from all elevations, before dipping into the seas' shrubbery... for indeed the sky makes use of the close-up, apparent green shades of the sea, or the Thames grey without an earl on a royal gondola worthy a parade, nearer then the grander colour scheme, but up from space, indeed, all is blue and all is green, and all is sandy suntanned bronze and seemingly serene; lest we forgot the dollops of skeletal, floating in cloud - those scouts of Antarctica; but from the elemental blue of the sky receding into the seas of mirrors via arctic into white if not seemingly see-through, there too i spot the antidote of white nearing the pristine state of claiming being see-through, a crow's bleak colour of being shrouded in celebratory mourning: the pupil of my eye, black, and all the world around me, the flattened earth of my iris, for no astronaut i am to imagine it otherwise, from a perspective of such heights reached by fellow man, if i am to be so humbly grounded, i'll imagine it counter-productively as thus.

(Commemoration of Earth-Day, 22nd-04-09) Earth hath Been Weeping! Nature lacerated & pleading? Extinct species beseeching; Antarctica mercilessly melting, Noxious gaseous emissions heating. Have you ever wondered? “Of the Greek mythology!” women warriors of Scythia astray burned off the Right ***** to try to habituate the bow and arrow in sly, arsenals of terror abound harsh shear ploy! Hitherto, the atrocious force upon Nature ne'er stops. Wherefore-now the lost leaf of the conifers? Searching for the nearest route to the Savannah Plains, Waiting pro the long anticipated cascades of the tropical rains. Babylon wrests & clinches intimately thy adored hanging gardens that black slaves tend no more hasten. Euphrates in the Persian Gulf wanders uncertain; Everest looks down in pitiful scorn… As it wobbly looses its molecular activity in pain. Humanity squirms in an enamored Trance to heave a foundation Of conscious Purpose That Earth day waits Upon us To elucidate a divine Hypothesis. ~~/|\~~ Namaste' ~~\|/~~

EARTH IS WEEPING : “A Divine Hypothesis”
I love my work, I love my dogs I love my wife, I love my life It's not that I don't want to stay But I'm looking for adventure So I have to go away. I'll never say I'm cold again Not after being here The stars will  never shine so bright The air will never seem so clear. Not many people witness this It's not a people place Where the sun stays up all day and night And the earth meets outer space. There's not much food down here, Just krill and fishy treats No vegetables will ever grow And you can't go out to eat. Some say this  place will drive you mad, Nothing but ice and snow Others that it gets to you Like nowhere else they know. Now I'm ready, soon I go To the cold round bottom of the globe. I will be busy, but there may be times In those quiet moments that I find To sit and reminisce About the other cold round bottom that I miss The one I left behind.

I will bite your tongue while you bite your words i miss writing like i miss your mouth soft,sweet,spicy do what you want you're not needed on this side of town just receding,slowly away and away and away up in the sky in a hot air balloon around the world in 100 days because we need the extra 20 to enjoy the sights and sounds yes darling, australia is beautiful but the coral reef is dying, and rotting away no more rainbow shores just an island in the middle of nowhere;somewhere i will find you even if 100 days later you are on a street corner smoking a ciggarette in each hand stuffing the world down your throat INHALE;EXHALE INHALE;EXHALE Antarctica is melting away.

Clegg was a pushy ****** who never locked his door pressed his friends forward for recognition of their efforts. Quietly in the background Without telling What he was doing for them never for himself and in his selfless style died poor he had little interest in material possessions gave most things away and was smart enough to spend his last dollar on his last day ©Gary Lewis 2009

Keith Oswald Clegg of Antarctica
Once in my Universe All the things were Missed I was Created By God's Will Forth intact Fulfiled with an innocent fleur I Created Playful Bountiful Place All the joys and sorrows Were Missed There was The Abundance There was a light laughter Of ignorance Of hardly recognizible indifference Of not knowing Poles are Axed Of vague rememberance Of   Which is          Arctica Which is          Antarctica And how to go there                                  Magic W. . . . Yet I had a technicue to reach a central core of Divinity Yet I've heard about Shangrila and Yeti & Yaks portruding with knited chimes With wide reasonable heads watching Extremly enchanting Dragons floating Effortelessly alluring to the beholder's Navigation By The Cloud By The Thunder By Resonance By Imagination        Coming True   The Child Butterflies were landing on my arms And I was a Mighty Director Of my Dreamland  Dying With every second Not knowing

All The Things Were Missed
This ship has set sail With a crew of fifty good men And twenty heavily coated dogs Over half the crew will be dead By the time we reach our destination On this secret government expedition Journey to the bottom of the world To find the Southern Pole The wind blows us where no life lives But the bitter cold From North America Past the southern tip of Argentina Harbored at the Falkland Islands For our last taste of civilization Six months Or maybe it was a year or more at sea To the icy shores of another planet Encased in endless days of darkness The ship became marooned In frozen oceanic tundra For many winter nights We the crew chiseled, shoveled And pick-axed our way to break free Of our prison made from solid crystal air Finally unyielding land ahead An unmovable iceberg We dock and unload Steady our sea legs to skis and sleds The dogs take off across this untraveled land Pulling us in tow Faster against the frigid wind Than our own frostbitten limbs would allow Ninety degrees south latitude lies somewhere ahead Blanketed in fresh snowfall and ice storms Supplies and moral run low as this weary travel continues on Shaded in zero visibility we set camp for the night Harbored against the soulless chill In a frozen crevice of ice mountain Our health deteriorated and the dogs drained Polar sleep sets in The arctic wind chills us to the bone And my cold eyes close
