"blond" poems
there was a slice of chocolate cake in the fridge and my sister asked me if i wanted it. i didn't respond, stared off into space and continued to smoke my cigarette in the kitchen because mom was asleep already and it was 1 am on a saturday in july and it was hot and we were both braless and hoping the single fan on the counter would circulate the air enough to make us comfortable in the cottage that we called home that didn't have air conditioning in the middle of the woods. the three of us hadn't moved for three more hours, instead spent all of that time talking about nothing and everything the way sisters do because sisters eventually end up saying all the words that have to be said but each time it sounds new even though it never is. we're all different but the thing about sisters is that other people always see you as the same. we all eventually grew into having brown hair even though i had been born a redhead and she had been born blond and she had been born the same shade of brunette that still graced her scalp but was thinner than the rest of ours and fit in an elastic pony tail comfortably unlike mine, which broke those things immediately and she, who cut hers all off in hopes to cleanse herself and keep herself from being weighed down.

There are many different kinds of hairs Some are long and some are short Some look like spider strings falling off your head Some are thick and some are thin Some feel as soft as a baby's *** Nothing and nothing Some are colorful and some are not Some are furry, some are funny Some are blond, some are not Some go up and are wacky and stretched Blond is better than black Hairs are bears! If you want to see hairs, take a look at your dad's hairy chest! Some hairs look like cotton candy These are all different kinds of crazy hair

I like you because
First there is the prep. The roommate. Wearing salmon colored pants.   He has Shaggy from Scooby Doo On his left thigh. The alcoholic. She has a drinking problem. She is in denial of her drinking problem. She hangs out with the loners. The loners. Unkempt, unattractive and fat in all the wrong places. The blond looks like Tom Petty. The one with dark hair, glasses and braces They live next door. Living together but segregated.  Wild cards. All of us. ©Gambit '13

The Characters In This Film
A new start, something fresh. Friends look at you with wide eyes erasing all the previous times you had met with this new time, all from something simple. Something fresh. A haircut. Although going from long flowing wavy strawberry blond hair to dark pixie short brunette colored hair is quite the difference... but it's something fresh. Something new. Something great. Exhilarating. Exciting. Wonderful.

"Bring me the sunflower so I can transplant it to my earth scorched with salt, so it can display all day to the azure mirrors of sky the anxiety of its yellow face. Dark things stretch towards brightness, bodies exhaust themselves in a flow of colours: this in music. To vanish is thus the hazard of venturing. Bring me the plant that leads where blond transparencies rise where life dissolves like essence; bring me the sunflower crazy with light." Eugenio Montale

Bring Me the Sunflower by Eugenio Montale
there once was a young girl with green eyes who wore her soft blond hair in braided pigtails at the age of seven, she watched her older sister stand in front of the mirror before school and pinch her stomach with a disgusted face neither of them ate breakfast that morning at the age of nine, she watched her older brother make fun of a girl with glasses for reading on the bus she went home and hid all her books in the attic at the age of twelve, she watched the older girls at school with straight hair and short skirts put makeup on in the bathroom and discuss how boys would only like you if you looked perfect, like them the next day she arrived with red lips, short shorts, and no braided pigtails at the age of fourteen, she watched her father hit her mother for the first time her mother cried when she saw her standing in the doorway and told her daddy didn't mean it the next year, she told herself that her boyfriend didn't mean it, either at the age of sixteen, she was paper thin and empty with straight blond hair, red lips, purple flesh, and lifeless green eyes while staring at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, she thought to herself "at least i'm normal."

"normal"
We killed Hart Crane Though he leapt To his death A poet’s plan Or perhaps a whim We hold the blame We killed Freddie Mercury And stopped the music The callous political games Blocked possible gains In a needed cure We killed Harvey Milk We were the bullets And the metal frame Held the assassin’s hand We hold the shame We killed The blond burnt boy Encouraging The hate We killed the strung up Beautiful boys The hung up Beaten up Broken hearted Brothers and sons We are the progenitors Of the violence Through action And more often than not Through inaction Maybe a little more guilt Would serve us well

Killing The Gay
Skin blushed peach on snow white cheeks Luster and grandeur not seen by the meek Intrinsically dominant furnace of femininity Dither and hither be stricken for insincerity If you try to speak to her expect less then levity To your advances she implies depravity Blatantly ignorant vacuous blond ***** Tell me again how I hate you and want ***

feminist extremists or did you even know the equal rights movement was never ratified?
she stood there on the side blond curls bouncing with pride Get it! Get it! arms flung about announcing pink shoes and blue jeans worn with attitude of a more senior form Get it! Get it! before it’s too late Get it! Get it! the tide won’t wait orange ball floating being drawn in and out as she stood there ordering and starting to shout a small group are playing and arranging their roles for a future life being determined by personalities bold Get it! Get it! as blue shoes are soaked in salty water and laughter provoked all ends in happy joyfulness neat but some are more happy with their dry feet

Little Orange Ball
THERE is a wolf in me ... fangs pointed for tearing gashes ... a red tongue for raw meat ... and the hot lapping of blood-I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go. There is a fox in me ... a silver-gray fox ... I sniff and guess ... I pick things out of the wind and air ... I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers ... I circle and loop and double-cross. There is a hog in me ... a snout and a belly ... a machinery for eating and grunting ... a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun-I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go. There is a fish in me ... I know I came from saltblue water-gates ... I scurried with shoals of herring ... I blew waterspouts with porpoises ... before land was ... before the water went down ... before Noah ... before the first chapter of Genesis. There is a baboon in me ... clambering-clawed ... dog-faced ... yawping a galoot's hunger ... hairy under the armpits ... here are the hawk-eyed hankering men ... here are the blond and blue-eyed women ... here they hide curled asleep waiting ... ready to snarl and **** ... ready to sing and give milk ... waiting-I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so. There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird ... and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want ... and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes-And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness. O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart-and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where-For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and **** and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

He slowly assembles his rifle on the barren rooftop as the      wind blows through his light blond hair. His long overcoat ***** and wraps around his thin long     legs. He places his elbows upon the short wall in front of him,      firmly kneeling on both knees. Glancing into the rifle's sight, he focuses sharply through      its cross hairs; he sees hundreds passing through the sight,      men, women, children, and as he sees it, a maze      of mass hysteria. He thinks of his current desperate situation and with each      passing thought, his heart pumps more hateful      adrenaline through his expanding veins. What am I?....He wonders. "I am the orphan child too ugly to adopt! I am the spit in the street you step in and curse! I am the cockroach so many crush beneath their feet! I wish to love and beloved, for I am ever so lonely,      so empty. I wish to give my whole self to someone to make them      eternally happy! To sacrifice all I possess, including my life, for the one      I love, but I am thoughtlessly branded a stalker! I am the void in all broken hearts. As a child, I only wished to be loved and appreciated, but I was raised the invisible child. There's a painful sore in my throbbing brain, the lethal      virus of society'd disdain. I'm insane!....I'm insane!...Give me peace, God if you exist      Give me peace! He glances once again through the sight's cross hairs, catching sight of a young boy standing alone, mouth wide open     with tears rolling down his cheeks. He pauses.....envisioning himself, his blue eyes cloud      with tears. He pulls back back his loaded rifle placing it against the      short wall, realizing at the moment this wasn't the way to end his      unbearable pain. Reaching into his deep overcoat's pocket, his long fingers      catch grasp of the cool surface of a 9 mm. Pulling it slowly from his pocket, he raises it to his temple, slipping his finger upon its tight trigger he whispers once      again, "God....if you exist, Give me peace."

We had come to see him, the aging Tenor sing. He was as good as he had always been. But half way through, a woman appeared, Moving gracefully in bare feet upon the stage. Entering the ring of bright spot light near him. Long blond hair, falling loose around her neck, Held back both sides by Turtle Shell combs, Reflecting the light. Adorned in but a simple, low cut black dress, Her with a face beautiful as a new spring day. Held in her left hand an ebony hued violin, Touched fondly, like a well accustomed old friend. Her right hand holding a bow, ready and waiting. The Tenor’s and her eyes met and conveyed a message Only they understood.  Then starting slow and low, The full Orchestra commenced. The woman in black Brought instrument up to her chin, lovingly resting her face upon it, as if comforted by it's touch to skin. The fetching violinist, like a graceful reed, In summer breeze, began to gently sway, Laid Bow to strings and a transcended beauty, The voice of both her Instrument and from within she, Emerged through her fingers, completely filling the hall. With eyes closed, the slight movements of expression On her face registering the feelings the musical notes made, As if those gestures too, guided the bow's musical cords. Slender precise fingers lovingly caressing the strings. For nearly a minute, she and her violin played alone. Her actions of body, hands and head in concert, To her music, unavoidably hypnotic it could be said. The Tenor started to sing, and yet my eyes stayed Locked on her, as if no one else in the room was there. The blond woman in the black dress owned the stage. I have no idea how long that piece of music lasted, I could not attest to what contribution the Tenor made. Fully my attention and eventually my heart belonged To that lovely, evocative young woman in the backless, Little black dress. It’s true that I may never see or hear her play again, I know not, even her name. And yet, I’m sure that I will never forget those Few minutes mesmerized by her magical spell. Hopelessly caught in her enchanting web. With me sitting, third row, isle seat left, Worshiping as I did, at her so pretty, Slightly ***** naked feet, the striking Blond woman in the black dress.

In childhood, your father’s name is DAD Now grown, maybe with children of your own But his name is still DAD DAD, the teacher, the consoler, the advisor Admonishes: “Drive safe” and “Save your Money” Today he’s the bard “This is like prison,” DAD laments while rolling his eyes Tubes like thin plastic chains tether his deflated body to blinking panels; paintings (factory printed ones) pretend the hospital room is more than just a sterile space Today, DAD’s eyes cast a faraway gaze, projecting And I see the characters in his story I see the 10 year old boy he describes, who snuck to stash a set Of English Composition Texts in the boy’s bathroom To escape Mrs. McElroy’s Fourth Grade course in Morose Poetry I see the thin, sandy blond, 6 foot 2 high school rabblerouser Who broke into the Vice Principal’s old Fiat And buried Stilton cheese in the dashboard All done on a sweltering May school day The anecdote is punctuated with a smirk and a: “Who would do a thing like that?” Stories of when he spotted a shy brunette at the dance and knew Knew he was to marry her; Stories of when his own DAD grasped his infant grandson’s dimpled hand Before giving in to complications of a heart attack The bard stops and exhales a sigh He cringes in his crinkled skin Sunken eyes squeeze close “I’m sorry” the nausea interrupts his tale “These drugs are…” “It’s okay. Take your time” I console, trying to comfort the pain in the room Now I’m the consoler, taking on the job to ameliorate Now this man, vulnerable in his suffering, is no longer DAD Now mortal, a child, a brother, a lover, a patient A man chained by the body’s sickness He is distilled by chemo reduced to a soul, who, through affliction, Forgets As his children remember He is as helpless in this life as we are.

What is going on with this ****** up superiority? Discriminating because I am some kind of cultural minority Acting like you trust me when the two of us are together But when your friends come around you run off to something better To all of society you pretend you're not smoking your **** When you roll your joint you're high just like me Eating dinner with your parents you talk like a ****** On the weekends, though, you give in to teenage urging If only you would take off that mask and see, That when it comes down to it you're no different than me. We breathe the same air, though yours may cost more And when we go to school we walk through the same doors Maybe your hair is more blond And your nails are a little cleaner, Or you play fancy sports, So you look a little leaner I don't have a credit card, or hang out at the country club I work for what I want And am proud of my pay stubs So, have some consideration, it's not really that tough We all know your life is easy, but some people have it rough. If only we could learn that empathy is the goal Maybe you could act like you actually have a soul.

Clever Rhymes About Adversity
There was once two, that cared about each other. They were happily together so long, it was unimagined that anything could go wrong. When he saw her, with her beautiful blond hair, that coiled around his fingers anytime he felt it. Her sweet chocolate eyes that stared and pierced through what pumped his blood to keep him there. Her sweet voice attracted him like a honey bee to a flower, soft, like the ocean waves. A sound you could fall asleep to, but wouldn't because you'd never get bored. The taste of her lips unique, He loved to kiss her cheek. When they hugged and he bowed his head over her shoulder, he felt his cheek pressed against her clavicle, wondering if she felt the discomfort of bone against bone. He could smell her perfume, especially on dates. But nothing could smell better to him than her natural scent; Freshly showered every morning, coffee on the table waiting, setting the expectation that today will be a great day. He leaves to work, believing when he returns she'd be there. At the same time, nothing makes him more sad, than knowing she is allowed to leave forever. yet, more beautiful than a dove in a cage, is the one that is always free.

The Sense of Love
It's been a while. Since I wrote a poem. But not since I wrote about you. I write about you all the time. Every once in a while, I forget why. Then I remember why. I remember you, Or I see a picture. I see your blond hair. Your blue eyes. You're the reason I have a type. I think of your adventure, And your shyness, And your varying range of emotion. I think of all these Random memories, Floating around in my head. Like ping pong. And capture the flag. Like long flaring lights and computer bags. Like fire escapes, And hiding under tables, Like missing you in winter with eyelashes like a fable. Like long walks in the dark, And hidden dark handkerchiefs with white polka dots. Like plaid checkered jackets, even when it's hot. Like cargo shorts and a white fedora. Gathering under the arch like it's an agora. Hiding that handkerchief between the flora. God, I miss you more and more. Months til I see you, I'm down to only a few before. I almost can't wait, It makes me feel sad. The fact that I'd leave, Just like that. Just so I could see you again. It's Valentine's Day And I'm here without you. And I wish more than anything, For that to not be true.

Finally Down to Five
“Don’t consider my words the sick ecstasy of a sick mind, but you are for me perfection!” - Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot I remember I can taste blood on the roof of my mouth I remember her face the first time I asked her to coffee when it rippled in a minor hemorrhage of surprise like the request was unexpected but maybe I hoped hoped for holding fiery cider in her hand she was word and color transfused when she spoke she was celluloid and strawberry blond and her smile looked like water racing over rubies and the years that I had waited to meet someone like her her hair was tied back in a hurricane of dim gold her voice spun out veins of thought fluid and manic as magma but brilliant like serrated ice I remember the cardial whiplash when she said she would like to do this again the sanguine dreams that came after giddy toss and turning turned to sleep the saccharine thought that I might be with her suddenly washing away leaving only the clean sting from the bluelit photograph of her having coffee somewhere else my sheets grew thicker as I stared I did not blink I just drank in cold acceptance of the stranger staring back beside her as the palpitating hope stopped and the sunk aorta darkened there were no feelings save the ones that I remember I can still taste blood on the roof of my mouth

Haemal
Sung to the tune of The Lumberjack Song by Monty Python. Back-up Mounties optional. I never wanted to be Sandra Dee! I... I wanted to be... A LESBIAN! (piano vamp) Leaping from bush to bush! As they float down the mighty rivers of Finger and Thumbia! With my best girl by my side! The Blond! The Brunette! The Giant Snookie! The Natural Red! The Little Spinning Skinnamarink! We'd sing! Sing! Sing! Oh, I'm a lesbian, and I'm okay, I like to broadcast that I'm gay. Chorus: She's a lesbian, and she's okay, She likes to broadcast that she's gay. I see straight girls, they're not like me, But I think that can change. If they'd just let me kiss them. Their lives I'd re-arrange. Mounties: She sees straight girls, they're not like her, But she thinks that can change. If they'd just let her kiss them. Their lives she'd re-arrange. Chorus: She's a lesbian, and she's okay, She likes to broadcast that she's gay. I cut down guys, I wish and hope, That others would join in. I wish straight women would think, that *** with men was sin. Mounties: She cuts down guys, she wishes and hopes, That others would join in. She wishes straight women would think, that *** with men was sin. Chorus: She's a lesbian, and she's okay, She likes to broadcast that she's gay. Oh I'm a lesbian and I'm OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK K!

The Lesbian Song
A random provocation of amber light A blond redhead The cruelty in everything more complicated Like falling asleep alone Or Franz Kafka in an ally
