Look at all these wannabe gangsters Terrorising our streets That one's wearing camouflage trousers Just wait till you hear him speak 'Dems bear skills mate' 'Can you lend me fifty bar?' He sounds like he's from Los Angeles Doing time in the yard But he's not He still lives at home with his mum And his pregnant girlfriend And he's under the thumb You see them outside Tesco But they're not shopping for pesto Let's go They've seen the old bill He's known around this town For selling dodgy pills Guns, knives and slang That's what you need If you wanna be in their gang No education Just a stolen Playstation And don't forget the **** Even on a school night They're out doing speed You'll see 'em in the park With a bottle of cider Then they'll start On a poor old-timer Tracky bottoms And a Burberry hat Chav fashion Cause they think they're all that But the funny thing is They don't have a clue They don't think like Me or you They think that they're rap stars Dreaming of fast cars But they're just wankers More like 'wannabe gangsters'

Wannabe Gangsters
I’m often asked why I don’t like to wear shoes. My usual reply is that when I am barefoot I feel more grounded. Now when I say that people take it one of two ways; they either think it is a joke, or they think it has some really profound meaning. Maybe I don’t like shoes because maybe I never learned my lesson when I would cut the bottoms of my feet on sharp rocks. Maybe I should have realized that shoes are a good idea when I burned my feet on hot pavement not once, but twice. Maybe it’s because I like the feeling of cold mud in the spring and hot sand in the summer. Or I just don’t like wearing any god **** shoes. Maybe the it is way that stepping grass reminds me of home, and stepping in snow also reminds me of home because I grew up in Maine, where 2 ft of snow is just your average wednesday. Or possibly it’s how I can tell which room of my house I am in by the way the floor feels. Maybe it’s how when I climb tree’s barefoot I end up with scratches all over me, but being so high reminds me of how hard the climb is but how beautiful the view is once you get there. Shoe may just be too mainstream for me... Maybe I want to feel more connected to my ancestors who didn’t wear shoes. It may be that wish to a tree, that I wish that my bare feet would become roots tying me to the one place where I belong. It may be that I wish I was a dog because they don’t have to wear shoes. I might not like feeling confined. Maybe it’s a symbol for how I wish to be free, when I don’t wear shoes it’s a call for help. Maybe I am brave, putting my feet in danger. Or maybe I am just really frickin stupid, and I am starting to think it’s the latter. Especially when I end up breaking my toes, or cutting my feet, or burning them on the roads because I was too lazy or too dumb to put any shoes on. Or maybe I am just cracking a joke about bare feet and the ground (and people over analyze the smallest things)...

A supine position upon my bed and a slow turning of my head I look out through my window and by chance LISTEN!! Hearing the howling and chilling desultory gusts of wind Noticing seemingly deceptive immutable muffled grey-white low hanging clouds enveloping everything in its heavenly path with coinciding feelings of being enclosed, a slight hint, the oncoming winter A sunless sky also matches the early November mood as virtually motionless elongated pearl-grey-clouds having distinct wind-kissed topsy-turvy-wavy-ruffled bottoms that travel and permeate onward across the heavens These eerie vapors s t r e t c h from north to south east to west casting Buddism's grey colored shadows upon the earth below while not permitting any sky blue to peek through A distant howl and barking of a dog, my inner volcano snuffed out, the tranquilization of Hercules... Time seemingly stops altogether and hangs... ... heated feelings dissipate    into      cool nothingness...

November Mood
I might've been an only child but I was never the favourite. you trailed behind us at every social event, pulling on my hair and stepping on the backs of my shoes. the bottoms of them were so worn out from years of me trying to run away that I could feel every footstep in my lungs. at christmas none of my presents could be wrapped, because we'd learned the first year that it wasn't a good idea. she made me spend hours tearing it off in a straight line, using a ruler as guidance. I was too young to read the numbers on it. this year, I bought her a necklace. I knew I had to give her something even though I wanted to take. she never mentioned it on our Christmas cards, but it was there, it was there in the spacing of our names and the negative space between our warm bodies; we weren't allowed to touch. she hates you so much that she could never bear leaving you. vacuums became my lullaby and my father quickly grew used to never getting kissed on the mouth. I hate you. you were a thorn stuck into the centrepiece of our perfect family, and my psychotherapist says you're the reason I still let myself bleed.

(a letter to my mother's ocd)
what is more gentle, than this pillow of the light? a life narrowing, in a bright feather dance that sweeps across the sea or covers our faces in shadows. where do you go when you leave me? now I am nocturnal, a bliss bandit, cooing at stars one thousand miles high. shaking like a tea kettle, I am the black *** black, shaking, shivering. Swallowing pieces of your light, in the back-room jungle where I sew, tears to the bottoms of my eyes, where no one ever goes. I know days, hours, one minute where I gambled time and stood behind you with my fingers on your shoulders and my mouth on your neck. What it takes to be apart, split in half, shucked from birth; it takes every thing I ever owned, every note I ever sang, each breath that I will make- some thought I stand up on, my knees quivering below me. five kinds of drugs just to see straight, to hold my hands steady or sleep at night. your lavender flavor is still in me. you in me. one. two. soaking in this forgotten city, Earth's heroes drifting away. I could never eat again, or cast a spell, or touch the same. while burning I may never stand on these same two feet again. four years, a photograph. one voice, softening into my skin, that I never may forget. that this beard is of an old man, should I never count again blessings or songs. I dive into the flame and study this journey backwards. so I should never forget, everything so serious as this as you, in me.

Looks like you need a drink... What'll it be, let me think... One thing you should know, Little Miss, I'm not a bartender... I'm just winging this... Hmm... Arc in a cocktail shaker Filled halfway up Throw Melz in the mix Just a dollop Let's see now... Spoonful of rhymes Make that a table Few drops of Conor If he's up and able Almost ready... A touch of Tea Maybe a tad more A dose of Frank In a little pour Just about done... Cap it up Shake that shaker Pour it out Top with Silver Ahh... In a cocktail glass Now sprinkle with Dani Let's not stinge Sprinkle aplenty There you go, Hon... Take a full swig When you see the bottom, your pain wouldn't seem so big...

Bottoms Up!
Black cabs and ab-dabs. Dashing through London streets, High heels and crippled feet. Back street bars, wealthy sheiks, ever running, Hide and seek. Black panther's in lippy, Colourful hippies. Turbans and tunics, Kiddies in cotton, with mud on their bottoms. Big Whigs and stiff prigs. Market stalls and rubber ***** Undergrounds and all around. City beats, it's hopping on. On and off off of buses and train. London love life, kicking pain. Picks up his drink and thinks like a fish. A couple more beers, three seconds of fun. Slipped into his glass. Glass one, two three, Freedom four. Needs more. (c) LIVVI

It's a trap
Once, I read about a theme park The roller coasters reached the bottoms of the clouds and the speeds broke the sound barrier Children went there daily They laughed and they screamed and they smiled from dawn until dusk They won prizes and they were very much alive I went to look up that theme park last month The rides had all shut down And they were completely still Nobody had touched it in years The streets of this city that were once full of life Were dull and motionless The windows were broken The prizes were gone The bright lights of all colors were now empty shattered bulbs The only emotion was empty All of the happiness and joy And the laughter and life Was completely gone I think of this often How one place can hold such life one day and the next be as good as dead? I saw myself in this corpse My body, decaying The joy I would feel and the dancing and laughter has now all turned to a blank slate of gray My mind had shut it all away and I am nothing I once held better days But now I am a broken roller coaster Abandoned and corroded Because I once got so high And I once moved so fast But now I am frozen in my place, hidden away Forgotten like an erased word off a paper Once, I read about a theme park And all I learned was I am empty too

Theme Park
THE BALLOONS hang on wires in the Marigold Gardens. They spot their yellow and gold, they juggle their blue and red, they float their faces on the face of the sky. Balloon face eaters sit by hundreds reading the eat cards, asking, "What shall we eat?"-and the waiters, "Have you ordered?" they are sixty ballon faces sifting white over the tuxedoes. Poets, lawyers, ad men, mason contractors, smartalecks discussing "educated ********* here they put ***** into their balloon faces. Here sit the heavy balloon face women lifting crimson lobsters into their crimson faces, lobsters out of Sargossa sea bottoms. Here sits a man cross-examining a woman, "Where were you last night? What do you do with all your money? Who's buying your shoes now, anyhow?" So they sit eating whitefish, two balloon faces swept on God's night wind. And all the time the balloon spots on the wires, a little mile of festoons, they play their own silence play of film yellow and film gold, bubble blue and bubble red. The wind crosses the town, the wind from the west side comes to the banks of marigolds boxed in the Marigold Gardens. Night moths fly and fix their feet in the leaves and eat and are seen by the eaters. The jazz outfit sweats and the drums and the saxophones reach for the ears of the eaters. The chorus brought from Broadway works at the fun and the slouch of their shoulders, the kick of their ankles, reach for the eyes of the eaters. These girls from Kokomo and Peoria, these hungry girls, since they are paid-for, let us look on and listen, let us get their number. Why do I go again to the balloons on the wires, something for nothing, kin women of the half-moon, dream women? And the half-moon swinging on the wind crossing the town-these two, the half-moon and the wind-this will be about all, this will be about all. Eaters, go to it; your mazuma pays for it all; it's a knockout, a classy knockout-and payday always comes. The moths in the marigolds will do for me, the half-moon, the wishing wind and the little mile of balloon spots on wires-this will be about all, this will be about all.

It’s early Friday afternoon and, over plates of greasy spoon dinner, the musician and the businessman repeat their weekly ritual. The businessman has his problems at home and spills his guts to his musician friend. “It’s been a real long time coming, but she’s still been such a bitter ***** They’ve met this way since their college days and nights spent studying the bottoms of whiskey bottles. And, as usual, the businessman’s hair sits sprawled on his head like a rag, and his tie is loosened. The musician doesn’t understand divorce: “You look like hell. You know, if you need a place to stay, Helen and I and the boy can always make some room for you.” They light a pair of cigarettes and wait for a waitress to kick them out. Into the haze of a Lower East Side crowd the musician and his band play his newest pieces, riffs on the happy swagger of the Duke. His critics— and he has many— write that his jazz sings the inescapable *********** of suffering through the life of every oblivious body, which makes the musician’s music sound more like the blues than jazz. But it’s jazz all the same and perhaps it was the intensity of the growling bass that shot spirits down the throats in the audience, reeling drunk in time to the beat of the musical suffering. The weekdays die and it is Friday again. He has a big view of midtown, the businessman, and though the window the falling sun horizons over his socked toes, parked on his desk in triumph over all those stockholders. It’s a pain to lose your family, but the businessman puts on a good face, and drinks. This Friday, the musician and the businessman are not in the mood for talking. But a scotch thrown down, and the two are tighter than thieves. The businessman complains of life at home and the musician’s eyes cross. That night, the musician skips his performance. His wife cries in their bed, shuddering with worry and asking him what makes him so distant? she asks— it’s a mystery even to himself. He is sweating whiskey— which suits him fine— and he spends his night on the bridge. One week later and it is Friday, finally. Today, the businessman will see his children at his former home for the last time for a handful of months at best. The musician has not been home for three days. He stays at a friend’s apartment, puts on his ***** blazer and a record of the Duke’s before he throws himself down the airshaft. The businessman jumps on the 5:44 out of town and calls his friend the musician to cancel their usual Friday meeting, but his phone keeps ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing, ringing.

Fiddly bits and Mismatched shapes; Come into my house, Shut off the drapes. I'll piece them together This one and that. But you don't believe in board games So it's bound to fall flat. So let us start from the beginning, The corners and the bottoms; Work inwards. But do not be surprised If you are not that missing piece, But just a part of another's Puzzle.

Why Men Like to Load the Dishwasher We are the artists of shape and configuration, puzzle masters solving riddles of physics, worshipers at the altar of labor saving devices, this is a love poem of sorts, a Bazinga salutation, to men and their undying love for **** machines. were it in my power all cups would be handle-less, the dishwasher time-space continuum would be non-interrupted by black holes where handles pointlessly protrude, requiring endless rearrangement, a soul destroying exercise. bowls of any sort should have bottoms that retract. indeed, the capacity increase, a visible fact, is so enviro-friendly, eminently sensible, that the loading for mechanical scrubbing is deserved of a wing in the Smithsonian. perhaps the budgeteers of Congress should be tutored in this artistry, how to make any limited resource, better used. the rub, as the bard would have writ, is that this roaring tempest-tost, our love for hard labor lost, secret sacrificed behind a locked door, of a Sanctum ******** is entirely due, all glory to, the secret society of fairies who hide-reside inside, freeing us to write more poetry. in so many ways that I cannot reveal, less the other gender members squeal, men live to love to load the dishwasher, for the ingenuity challenge, and of course, the side benefit of the excusing coverup, "I helped clean up," a relationship saver, proof positively that the dishwasher inventor, was surely a brilliant woman

Why Men Like to Load the Dishwasher (You Didn't Know?)
Soft shapes touch a child's finger, Memories of their sweetness linger-- Helping grandma roll the dough In her kitchen long ago. I like the shape your cookies take When they spread out as they bake, Like the changing shapes of crowds, Melting snow or summer clouds. Oven-hot and placed on racks, Lined up , lying on their backs, Coming from a single batch, But none of them a perfect match. Toll house cookies, soft, convex, Each perfection, like the next: Chocolate chips their surface grace-- Freckles on a child's face. Pecan ball aren't perfect spheres, But they're gentle little dears: Bottoms flat, sides dented slightly, With white sugar sprinkled lightly. Sugar cookies cold days cheer, Shaped like angles and reindeer Glazed with frosting sweet and white, Decked with sprinkles all delight.   Santa's Whiskers, coconut rolled, Long fat logs of sugared dough, Cut in portions smooth and round, Pecan bits, cherries abound.   Molasses crinkles' faces lined Like old men's--the friendly kind-- With lines like back roads on a map, Dunked in milk before a nap. Oatmeal cookies, shapes amorphous Juicy raisins budge enormous, Semi-blobs, their texture rough, Sometimes packed with nuts and stuff. So many cookies through our life, Since we became husband and wife, In their sweet aroma and taste Years rushed by like cars in a race. Looking at their shapes diverse Reminds me of our love at first: We weren't sure just where we'd go And all we had was cookie dough.

Waves taller than I was cool atlantic ocean grainy sand between my fingers burying my toes. Hot sunburns and salty hair the beach bars where we used to eat off the kids meal going back to your condo sitting on your couch. Thrown over his shoulders covered in sand, the warm weight used to be fun but now it just scares me you scare me. My shoulders were kissed sunscreen on my back the lukewarm pools and marco polo races holding my breath until i thought my lungs would explode. The water would rush back with the pull of the ocean our sundresses damp around our ankles, bruises over our mouths where you held them shut The porch light was on to the condo my towel draped over your balcony, bathing suit bottoms in your bedroom. Forgotten toys and to pairs of arm floaties because i was never good at swimming, you left your watch on the shoreline. Crying because of the pain and the hatred and love Never knowing if I would be cuddled or touched but knowing i would be cuddled after being touched those sunburnt spots caressed by you. White caps peak as the sun rises, we’re cold with fevers and abuse, shaking as our feet are wet again with salty water and your watch pulled out to the sea, lost forever.

Opposites and Equals
To the freshman sitting alone on the bus Counting the scars on your wrists like train tracks Creating a laundry list of the socially acceptable ways To **** yourself. Wondering if you'll jump off a bridge this year Or bleed out in your bathtub next summer, They'll be watching you. You wish you could tell them they're wrong You're different than all the depressed emo kids in the bad movies Plastered to the television set like gum on the bottoms of desks You're popular But you're not pretty Or happy. To the freshman can I just tell you In four years, you'll be happy. To the freshman can I just tell you You are pretty, you are beautiful, they all love you. To the freshman can I just tell you That the amount of likes you have on your profile picture Equates to dust dissipating in the distance To the freshman can I just tell you The earth's curved wall will keep you grounded as you go through Hell To the freshman can I just tell you You don't know what *** feels like right now But it is both amazing, like birthday balloons racing through your stomach And overrated. To the freshman can I just tell you That a friend's overdose, two grandfathers' deaths, and one suicide later You're still here. To the freshman can I just tell you Losing friends is the only way you know you can rely on yourself It hurts like crazy, but the bleeding heals And you find your own skin was the agent. To the freshman can I just tell you You'll go through horrific fashion trends (Though none worse than the skeletons of middle school) And still come out looking **** To the freshman can I just tell you Graduation is not far away. To the freshman can I just tell you You're going to be ******* fantastic. To the freshman can I just tell you How ******* fantastic it is To grow up to be me.

To the Freshman
To the freshman sitting alone on the bus Counting the scars on your wrists like train tracks Creating a laundry list of the socially acceptable ways To **** yourself. Wondering if you'll jump off a bridge this year Or bleed out in your bathtub next summer, They'll be watching you. You wish you could tell them they're wrong You're different than all the depressed emo kids in the bad movies Plastered to the television set like gum on the bottoms of desks You're popular But you're not pretty Or happy. To the freshman can I just tell you In four years, you'll be happy. To the freshman can I just tell you You are pretty, you are beautiful, they all love you. To the freshman can I just tell you That the amount of likes you have on your profile picture Equates to dust dissipating in the distance To the freshman can I just tell you The earth's curved wall will keep you grounded as you go through Hell To the freshman can I just tell you You don't know what *** feels like right now But it is both amazing, like birthday balloons racing through your stomach And overrated. To the freshman can I just tell you That a friend's overdose, two grandfathers' deaths, and one suicide later You're still here. To the freshman can I just tell you Losing friends is the only way you know you can rely on yourself It hurts like crazy, but the bleeding heals And you find your own skin was the agent. To the freshman can I just tell you You'll go through horrific fashion trends (Though none worse than the skeletons of middle school) And still come out looking **** To the freshman can I just tell you Graduation is not far away. To the freshman can I just tell you You're going to be ******* fantastic. To the freshman can I just tell you How ******* fantastic it is To grow up to be me.

*Superimposing marks On red, swollen lips Bit and bled from chattering teeth That tolls nervous as a cuckoo clock chirps. A bumpy road with Spidered cracks Like a well dried jerky strip Wrinkled, and tough. Bit and chewed With no bones underneath And no guts to go forward. Warning skies Of red in the morning. And thunderstorming nights That flash with lighting so intense You'd think an old-age photo party was commenced way up high. And rain so furious You'd think the clouds were tearing themselves to pieces.* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a cloud, I think I should add That we aren't all fluffy and white Nor scary and dark. Our seasons do not come easily For we undergo much To make it "rain." And even more to keep it calm. Thunder is not a weathering crash, It is yelling from another room. And the lightning flash, rage, That leads to liquid pain. The hard pressed wind that tosses your hair Are witheld screams until tolerance level reaches maximum, And snaps. Like that old willow's trunk, Wrenched from the earth, Because the sky is powerful And we are only along for the ride. But, there is sunshine that warms our tops While the bottoms are in shadow, wrought in darkness that writhe along uneven surfaces. But, there is moonlight that makes us gleam, Like silver was sewn into sides. But she is not always there, And as her light fades So Do We.
