"blender" poems
son spreads knee blood into ******* &/or sidewalk chalk. mixes reds to pinks with head cracking asphalt. of god & country. of soggy bread in a lunch-bag; snackpack readied. he skates. the concussed ****** of booming youth. omega he: to the wolf pack outers. breathing love of summer, he is the son drunk on hi-c & burping. watching teenaged supersoakers yodel on a bridge. florida. son sneaks out late to rationalize the city’s features under strange light & love of nightly people. boy sculpts body out of beast, turned dark corners. arrives swollen. his father erects a roofed flattop in the backyard slab with flood light electronics taught to worship the shred. mother rattles the blender on the kitchen outskirts, ***** breathed & nearing with hugs. blister-itched. glossed folds of scar tissue. those days on summer-beyond when the neighborhood pulsates. with satellite dishes tuneforking high-frequency vibrations from outerspace & pigeons explode. son’s ears bleed, & the television goes unwatched. he snaps plank & ankle protein, refurbishing his legs into iron-rods or wands of summer anthem. cold war. he empties sugar-sweat & toxins into the storm-drain. essence of wet heat, skin pinched, & friend of ghosts. a three legged dog lay in the shade leisurely watching the boy skate on endless.

*‘Twas the night before surgery, and all through the house, no one was stirring, not even my spouse. Suddenly I awoke with such a terrible fright “Oh, my! It’s 11:45, and I must eat before midnight!” So I ran for the kitchen with nay a moment to spare, because I cannot eat after midnight; No way! I wouldn’t dare! There I stood in the middle of the room, staring at the fridge wondering what to consume. Then it hit me; “I know what to make!” It’s fast and it’s tasty, a BIG chocolate milkshake! But when I turned on the blender it made such a loud noise, that it woke up my husband, and it woke up our boys. So they came in and stared at me, much to my demise They all looked so bewildered as they rubbed their sleepy eyes. Then they saw the blender and realized what was there, “You all might as well go back to bed, ‘cause I’m not about to share!” I poured it into a very large glass; I filled it to the top. Then I drank until it was gone, & I felt like I could pop. One by one, the hours crept by, as I laid awake counting sheep. That stupid milkshake made my stomach ache, and I couldn’t go back to sleep! ‘Twas the night before surgery, and there in my house; they all slept soundly, including my spouse.*

~ 'Twas The Night Before Surgery ~
Come put your lips near my lips. We don't need the Candy-Sweet-Candlelight, the Special-Slinky-Things, the Smooth Hum of Midnight Jazz. **** it. We'll make-out to the sound of a blender or a lawnmower, Or a pack of feral cats. Wearing what we wore to work And smelling of nothing more than mediocrity. Just come put your lips near my lips. It will be perfect.

Casual Friday
When I was eight I got very sick. I got to eat mac n cheese on the couch, and drink chocolate chip milkshakes. Today I felt sick. So I made some mac n cheese, and I sat down on the couch. I wanted the milkshake. I didn't have any chocolate chip ice cream, So I made strawberry. Then I sat at the counter and looked at my mess. The milk was out, The ice cream was uncovered and melting The blender was on its side. It looked very sad. Like it was a Roman village I had just conquered. I killed all the strawberry milkshake children. They had such bright futures until they drowned In a puddle of one percent milk. I discovered I don't like strawberry milkshakes that much. And now I have a mess in the kitchen, My car needs gas, And I smell like cigarettes and self deprivation. And everything is easier when you're eight and your mother cooks you your special sick person dinner.

Strawberry Milkshake
Happens every other day Feelings of guilt as a wasteful being Rearrange brain function Monopolizing firing synapses Recycle, reuse Regurgitating, dull whitted infomercials All wanting you to buy, buy, buy Sure you could use another sharp knife Maybe even a blender On special now buy one get one free A kitchen already full of utensils that you don't use Caught up in McMonsantoland's corporate sponsorship Frankenburgers all around Cancer is the cure Picking you off one by one Genocide Intelligence retardant children growing up in front of CIA bugged televisions They know your patterns, habits, what makes you tick Big Brother is watching all of you be enslaved In the end your box will be numbered Eight humans deep Stacked high along the streets of America Guiding the way to the ****** sunset of our existence

a bottle of scotch had bad dreams. bullets twitch, junk sick in 3 inch thick mustard **** toe nails clipped from yeti lay strewn about the **** stained corpse of a motel six dixie cup - root canal trophy, next to a black fez with scab tassel upended. down in it. belching apnea propaganda and belladonna waiting for curious george to find a shotgun and a yellow hat and a brick banana. blowflies inhale the rank damp of a fresh **** the odd dog whines like a clown in - a blender. [ the ] house wins with a marked card; jabbing fat fingers into acned rosacea bloated with sleep lack and mortgage back stab chasing twenty ****** with a hollow point pull from an acid flask while hailing a black cab. tinsel sutures stitch eyelids as a mercy shattered bone knit hand-grenade cozies old glory, at half mast half wasted fifty stars, no light dragging on the grounds of immunity to do a line of coke stock with a basset hounds' finesse. your taxes at work in columbia, hiding from a lost farm in Idaho your american dream turning tricks in shanghai for a counterfeit egga roll your meme, devoid like an ice cube tombstone your freedom, parking cars for italian escorts smoking skin flutes for ferraris and white teeth. your integrity, sold to a hedge fund for astroglide and a pez dispenser packed with prozac pressed by ' Jose the butcher' s abuela in a narco slum that ain't seen radio since cinder blocks had wings.

bottles of ***
Living in this yellow box filled with aging trinkets A lonely guy trying to get by just hasn't sealed the link yet Bout a cup of milk left in the fridge and God forbid I drink it A shaggy dog; that ***** hog, why can't they smell the stink yet? The junk comes barreling through the door so fast that you can blink it There's no more room for gloom and doom, but let's fit one more inkjet They just got rid of dinnerware,  a silver and a pink set So now to hoard an ancient sword, a blender and a mink set Five garbage bags of someone's clothes, the sixth one's in the sink, wet With lots of cans and pots and pans, we'll reach the jagged brink yet They're trying to let go, said there ain't no space to think yet They're workin hard to raise the bar, ain't  worked out all the kinks yet Pressed for time and low on space ****** I need to get out of this place...

The Yellow Box
Lying beneath the stars longing to feel your honest heart beet. Returning to the dirt we came from, I can feel your breath hot and sticky filling the gap between us. Scrupulously steaming us vegetables. I can't help but imagine biting into your savory peel. Some say the skin is the most nutritious part. I inhale the ripe droplets dewing across you, and wonder what we'd look like mashed together. Stuck in a blender. Ripped apart and delicately reassembled. And then I remember, That we already were.

I see you Sweet like candy But definitely a handful I don’t want to do anything to you I don’t want to do anything for you I would love to experience with you So the fave color is red There is beauty behind your eyes – in your head Brains built of action from your hands and happening in front of your eyes What a surprise when you spoke to me Simple yet impressive and something I did not see coming Love is where you find it Hot – sour – bitter – slightly messy Unconditional from the crown at the top of the head to bottom of the feet Now what ? I don’t want to do anything to you I don’t want to do anything for you I would love to experience with you Think of making love in a chair For this to work Both of us have to be willing and somewhat fair Are you really sure you want unconditional ? Can you actually accept my faults and failings ? I have never been to prison I believe in feelings I am an old man with ideas, designs and thoughts in a battle with the Universe I know how to trust you Can you hold the word commit when the sky falls ? I will never let you fall I promise I’ll never make you cry When you get scared I’ll hold you tighter You do not have to ask I am your fighter I would never question the Creator The thief of air has taken love from me Several times Was my heart being prepared for you ? Now what ? Can you accept my creative mess process ? Can you see the fun in how I get things done ? Are you willing and ready for the ride of a lifetime ? If your answer leans toward yes, double buckle – it going to be bumpy – but fun Our daughter will be divine Will you balk when I beg you to try for a son ? Your effect on another male can change the world and all humankind Spirit guides my life now I can’t explain it I know it when I see it Here are my jealousies Are you willing to grant me your T E A ? Time – Energy – Attention Let’s lock this energy in place I am willing to do – not try – do Bring me you I am better than I used to be Not as good as I will be Can you love a person like me ? I do not want your day I do not want your night I am a person of commitment I want your lifetime I will cherish those days you are mad at me I will cherish those days you don’t understand me No matter how sweet I promise to never cheat If I have to crawl thru broken glass I always come home Can your comfort zone let me share ? Right or wrong Will you be there ? Some things I do very strong Others start with tender Madness is not something I accept Yet, know that I stand And put all of life in a blender Here is the warning – the caveat : Are you a moth or a flame ?

Grime-caked fingers digging into An infant’s innocent eye sockets The chubby little **** shouldn’t be wearing that locket No tears run their course down its soft, pink epidermis But one could bottle up The slightly thinning blood Into a small Thermos I told that **** to get an abortion My ******* ***** deserves better than her I can’t stand the scent of baby lotion I’ll go fishing with its flesh as lure ‘Cause I’m pro-choice Yeah, I’m pro-choice ‘Cause I’m pro-choice Yeah, I’m pro-choice The wailing, ****** howl dies down When the child’s trachea is crushed By some hand-me-down, rusted hammer That turns its body to mush One could still see the baby’s frozen face Open-mouthed and purple-blue Spinning around the unwashed blender With the previous night’s food I told you to get a simple abortion My ******* ***** deserves better than you You better coat your putrid *** in baby lotion And have some mouthwash ready, too ‘Cause I’m pro-choice Yeah, I’m pro-choice ‘Cause I’m pro-choice Yeah, I’m pro-choice

Pro-Choice
I'm nervous. Like really nervous. Like shaking like a blender full of gravel nervous. Like atheist in a foxhole nervous. Why am I so nervous? Because I have a nagging thought that soon I might just be the last-next-best-thing that ever happened to you, Replaced by another, better next-best-thing that blows me out of the water. Because you might decide I don't have what you really REALLY want. Because at the end of the day, I'm still convinced that your attraction to me is the product of an elaborate facade. So yeah. I'm nervous. Like sweating fifty caliber bullets nervous. Like ******** cinderblocks nervous. Like chattering teeth cold sweats nervous. Like dying young nervous. Like being forgotten nervous. And it makes me nervous that you put me on a pedestal Because from where I stand, I didn't do anything to deserve this I got drunk at a party and picked up a guitar and here we are almost a year later. So I'm anxious I'm distressed I'm worried and jumpy But most of all I'm nervous Nervous because I think You might one day figure out what I already know: I'm not that great. I'm lanky and goofy and kinda dumb sometimes And I can be just as petty as everyone else And I'm still pretty convinced you're colossally out of my league So I'm nervous Like shake-you-to-your-fucking-core nervous Like really nervous.

I. I am the eye that floats on the wind. The third observer To your first person nonsense. I see all and say nothing. I am all and nothing. Simultaneously the end and the beginning. I hold your world together With a steady stare. If I blink you become a blur-- A quantum hurricane In the blender of nonexistence. II. Or maybe Somewhere in the multiverse A version of me Is drinking tea by a fireplace.

In gravest, gravels of untouched soil, Spearhead of purple, beyond the pale, One statue of siege upon a windy foil, What mires meek airs in all you survey? Like a frost of summers, you are lord, To hold that seed in your spiny face, Depressions of land your promontory, All up with arms, iron clad as a mace, Beneath you, the grown motley fields Are desolate, all flowers bled, blender, Spiders and birds know you unyielding The lost aleatory scent of no surrender.

Work is boring, I'd  Rather be home sleeping in A nice comfy bed  Work is boring, I'd  Rather be smoking a joint And watching TV Work is boring, I'd  Rather be drinking a beer And drunk barroom brawls Work is boring, I'd  Rather be out surfing the Gnarly ocean waves Work is boring, I'd  Rather stick my arm in a  Blender; cause some fun Work is boring, I'd  Rather be out banging some Coked up prostitutes  Work is boring, I'd Rather dig my brain out thru my My ears with a fork Work is boring, you  Can tell because I'm writing Too many haikus

If I could rip my heart out I would've done it already Put it in the blender and make it look like mushed spaghetti Then throw it in the air like if it was confetti Then walk out the house and say I'm ready To live a life with no pain No more love games After all that nothing would ever be the same I'd be heartless, careless No more stressing out till I'm hairless No more hoping that life was filled with fairness I'd have life held by its reins completely tamed And there would be no one that could drive me insane Playing life like a game Perfectly passing everything, put the high score next to my name I'd be as hot as the devil But instead I'm stuck here in the same level

Cause you arent all that ugly but you are kinda fat. No my last name isnt Knoxville but I sure had some fun in Tennessee. Met darlin that left a burnin feelin behind just for me. My life is like a tweenty four hour cartoon. A wreckless wonder. If ya wanna ride along theres always room. Gotta babydoll I often reffer to as Tinker. She's my favorite semi insane funsize drinker. Got a amigo or two. Some fake ID's cause some people just happen to be looking for me. I thought you already knew. Some people like to hate. Clive. Forrest. Ian. Dont be jelouse your still living togather in the same basement no hope ever having none inflatable date. Iv'e taken some pretty hard licks. Put my mind in a blender . Now all im left with is becon bits. Im the Jackass of poetry alone I hold the crown. Some might call me a village idoit. But I would say im most fun fella in town. And if ya read this work and still cant see. You can go to hell. And thats one thing apon me my imaginary friends and my little badass tinker agree.

I'm overwhelmed With the sky and the trees and my house and my family. But on top of all that I'm overwhelmed inside myself. I don't know if you can grasp that. Its similar to having a blender going on in your head all the time. I can't think straight. I can't eat. I can't sleep. My mom thinks I'm sick. I'm actually just overwhelmed.
