I should not have blamed only my father, but, he was the first to introduce me to raw and stupid hatred. he was really best at it: anything and everything made him mad-things of the slightest consequence brought his hatred quickly to the surface and I seemed to be the main source of his irritation. I did not fear him but his rages made me ill at heart for he was most of my world then and it was a world of horror but I should not have blamed only my father for when I left that... home... I found his counterparts everywhere: my father was only a small part of the whole, though he was the best at hatred I was ever to meet. but others were very good at it too: some of the foremen, some of the street bums, some of the women I was to live with, most of the women, were gifted at hating-blaming my voice, my actions, my presence blaming me for what they, in retrospect, had failed at. I was simply the target of their discontent and in some real sense they blamed me for not being able to rouse them out of a failed past; what they didn't consider was that I had my troubles too-most of them caused by simply living with them. I am a dolt of a man, easily made happy or even stupidly happy almost without cause and left alone I am mostly content. but I've lived so often and so long with this hatred that my only freedom, my only peace is when I am away from them, when I am anywhere else, no matter where- some fat old waitress bringing me a cup of coffee is in comparison like a fresh wild wind blowing.

It's like a diamond stake pushed through the silence of my brain It's like a thunder of voices coming down like a hurricane It's like a forest of gunfire blowing past my bedroom door It's like the force of a god pushing down on my floor Whip smart, by all accounts, but lost beneath the sheets Forced out of a comfort zone and pushed out to the streets Spastic changing voices like a record out of line Just speak like you always do and don't **** with my mind I'm like a tidal wave that only gets halfway there No shore to erode with no Taiwan to even care I'm like a promise left on the kitchen table after dawn Someone will find it but it will be thrown out on the lawn Born without a spoon but there is silver in my teeth I'm made out of as much spirit as a plastic, clearance wreath Dust beneath the stars cancels out the dawning sun Shine on the bums, the prophets, everyone

Worn Out By A Hurricane:
between the concrete river & the park where the bums share a bottle wrapped in a brown paper sack, there is a cul-de-sac of plastic houses holding hands & sharing manicured lawns wooden cars that don't even make any smoke drive down gray asphalt streets. fathers that tell mothers they have jobs wear down street corners sharing beers with the bums, like they already are one. all these paper families rubbing shoulders until everyone has paper cuts. going home to dinner around a table full of paper love. suburbia is flimsy paper towns shining white smiling neighbors & shared lawns paper people slowly falling apart. couples with their tongues down each other's throats, midnight in supermarket parking lots dribbling beer in the backseat they bought off the bums.   they say, I love you, I love you, I love you. until she leaves for a paper husband & he leaves for a paper wife. now they live on two separate cul-de-sacs with the same cutout love, as the parents they despised. & when they have kids one day they will tell them *never kiss before driving, never befriend bums, or guzzle cheap beer in backseats, or on park swings. & never settle for a paper husband or a paper wife.* remembering the love that was flimsy, but never paper. 100,000 miles away from where they grew up & 3,000 miles away from each other 3 kids each & plastic houses rubbing shoulders & sharing lawns living in a paper thin suberbia chafing under their paper love.

paper thin
It lies in my skin, It makes me who I am, It makes me beautiful, You saw and see me as lesser, You look down at me with displeasure, My big lips and *** were seen as ugly, Now seen as a trend broadly, My natural beauty has fallen in the category of fake, My melanin aches, My blackness sheds tears as my sense of beauty once hated, Now brought into the public eye, now everyone all bums and lips inflated, Something once that was seen as characteristics of my people, Now a trend. So sorry if I don’t follow a trend that is sickening, But I won’t stop my smile from glistening, Cause there are things you can’t take from us, Our freedom, our pride, our melanin.

I am nature I am open and wild and free I am the wind rushing down canyons and the hollering in banyans I am a bird that sings I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am civilization. The trapped, fluorescent lighting in a library basement. The cake walks and small talks and forced conversation. I am the beeps and hums and dirt on bums. I’m the faraway cell phone that rings. I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things. I am exuberance A child giggling loud sounds of joy Puzzle completers and Christmas toys Smiles and laughs and leaves of grass The casino machine that dings I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am anger. Tears, scares, and not fighting fair. I am the red in your eyes as you cry. I am a ghoul that comes out in the night. I am the cut that won’t cease to sting. I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things. I am ideas Originality through and through Creations of my own evolve in my mind Great sinewy thoughts searching for actions to bind Mister Cleans and Daedalus wings I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am silence. Quiet. Tight. Composure. Open. Weary. Closure. I am the stillness of being. I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things.* I am alive I set Rube Goldberg machines into action I contemplate, gravitate, and try not to hate I breathe and I heave and I believe I use my eyes to see I am molecules upon cells upon bones against things I am dead. I’m a sideshow reflection of the man I could be. I am lazy cold and clammy. Hopefully I can get my heart beating again. Then I could be me, molecules upon cells upon bones against things

Making love in the sun, in the morning sun in a hotel room above the alley where poor men poke for bottles; making love in the sun making love by a carpet redder than our blood, making love while the boys sell headlines and Cadillacs, making love by a photograph of Paris and an open pack of Chesterfields, making love while other men- poor folks- work. That moment- to this. . . may be years in the way they measure, but it's only one sentence back in my mind- there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails. I pass the hotel at 8 and at 5; there are cats in the alleys and bottles and bums, and I look up at the window and think, I no longer know where you are, and I walk on and wonder where the living goes when it stops.

Nobody got anywhere in this life throttling bums, and robbing hotdog vendors, but a Saquatch eating a knish on top of a flipped bus is a sight that sticks to the roof of your minds eye. Let's eat caramel apples down by the seawall, trade tall tales, and lizard scales, run for the hills, but settle down in the shadow of the valley. Prickly pear and agave nectar, nopal cactus fruit, blended together, you can hardly taste the tequila. I'll boost you onto the roof, and hand up my guitar, and you'll help me climb up, singing and chanting till the sun knocks us off the room, we'll go pool hopping, with ski masks on, and steal lawn ornaments, and eat churros, and drink egg cream. and kiss under the Brooklyn bridge. I just gotta go throttle this *** and rob this hotdog vendor. If there isn't a sasquatch I'll be home by the apocalypse. Then we can get naked, and set off the sprinkler system, and dance in the halls. Until the sun explodes, and 2+2= 37.

Lust is a sin everyone will enjoy, from the bums in the courtyard, mingling and thrusting ***** privates, to the chaste; to you and me, and celibate, The celibate lust for self-recognition, for their gods, for a higher purpose, To strive is to lust and to lust, it is only human to lust for comfort, for control, for order. Goals of every sect are prized, Sought after are the lusts that guide us, that energize the batteries in our backs, tells us to do crazy things, some promote devastation.

A satisfied appetite is a simply joy Overlooked and simplified Like a growing urge, a salivating need That is entrancing and glorified. Everlasting for moments we call meals Forgotten in time, lingering above But the taste, the lonesome lover pushed aside Gazes afar and near wanting to be enjoyed again The young lady with a tongue of raspberry delight And the matured widow with darkened cacao lips Ripening nectar of a sliced peach center Halved and topped with mascarpone crème The man with a skin of caramel glaze Caressing and savoring With a fragrance and scent Of hazelnut coffee indulgence and sin In the pursuit of a brief love affair What oral sensation did my taste buds want? My odyssey of gustatory endeavors await Through the seas of lined people and waiting staff Generous portions and humble pies Decadent desserts so rich you’ll die Vine cherry tomatoes sliced and sauté Over al dente rigatoni in a roasted cashew sauce A robust aroma and savory appeal Basil leaves with garlic strips Olive oil to top the surreal Hubristic meatball aborigine Elysian cuisine or many dreams Teasing the senses, warming the pit Of flowing pleasures And tingling fingertips Without moral measures And succulent wines Rotisserie lamb falling of the bone Seasoned with Sicilian herbs And paired with broiled asparagus Drizzled with lemon juice And a glass of Merlot Spices I hardly know Lachrymose apologies beside a bottle of faded sorrows With love there is pain, passion endured through the names Thin soups, flavorless and dull, feeding street-thrown bums Breathing hard against the delicatessen glass Hickory smoked hams, pepper-seasoned pastrami Vinegar cultured pickles and hard dried salami Unpleasured, without measure, at one's leisure. Forever my endeavor Blackcurrant tea laced with slivers of gooping honey Layers of cinnamon hair atop olive skin red-painted doors with cedar trim crushed almonds mixed with hazelnut butter cream spread devilish rounds of crumbling rum-swirl bread Smells and wonders, tastes so ... oh god Divine and sublime.

The Creator looked at the elephant and said: I made you big so you could be gentle To the mouse he said: I made you small so you could walk tall But over millions of years you two could exchange places and one become the other. I know I shoved the lot of you in an Ark Because Noah was being a pesk asking for rain when his washing machine ran dry So I had to fill the oceans to stop that old man from complaining all the time. Besides I needed the bark from the trees of the Ark to make me a small tug boat to carry some DNA samples of my own, in case, the lion ate the cow, the tiger chewed on the cat and the fox tricked the rest with his cunning ways You see, my friends, there was no grass, or snakes or bird cages, or trees for the monkeys to swing on. I thought of many things before I gave the building plans to Noah and his sons. Only one was a builder the rest were bums, who never held a hammer or learned how to tie two bits of trees together, leave alone building an ark to hold the worlds whole creation.Thankfully there were no real estate agents pushing the price up or bankers charging interest. The mafia thought of charging an entrance fee for each pair, but before they could do that the rains came pelting down and the tickets got washed away in the storm. So you see the Ark was a joint venture between The Americans and Chinese and Indians because they were willing to multiply quicker than the rest once Mt Sinai rose up to meet the oak leviathan from underneath. And so my dear elephants and mouse and fox and snake and bird and lion and tiger. Noah and his wonderful Ark was a script written well ahead so that Russell Crowe could get a part playing Noah in a computer generated extravaganza where only the actors and actresses who could afford to pay a price to be in it - were involved.

Besides I needed the bark from the trees of the Ark to make me a small tug boat to carry some DNA samples of my own, in case, the lion ate the cow, the tiger chewed on the cat and the fox tricked the rest with his cunning ways You see, my friends, there was no grass, or snakes or bird cages, or trees for the monkeys to swing on. I thought of many things before I gave the building plans to Noah and his sons. Only one was a builder the rest were bums, who never held a hammer or learned how to tie two bits of trees together, leave alone building an ark to hold the worlds whole creation.Thankfully there were no real estate agents pushing the price up or bankers charging interest. The mafia thought of charging an entrance fee for each pair, but before they could do that the rains came pelting down and the tickets got washed away in the storm. So you see the Ark was a joint venture between The Americans and Chinese and Indians because they were willing to multiply quicker than the rest once Mt Sinai rose up to meet the oak leviathan from underneath. And so my dear elephants and mouse and fox and snake and bird and lion and tiger. Noah and his wonderful Ark was a script written well ahead so that Russell Crowe could get a part playing Noah in a computer generated extravaganza where only the actors and actresses who could afford to pay a price to be in it - were involved.

Arrrgggh Pirates, revisited
Burning bodies in salted seas. Pinching ***** along the dead beds. Wet winds carrying the sharp flavour, Of overcooked hot dogs and slutty beach bums.

I don’t want to perpetuate the produce – consume loop but when I don’t, I feel like such a lazy moocher Could I play guitar near after dark bars for $23 an hour? Victor and I did that once, for $11.50 each Untaxed, that’s better than my dour real job So, if I really made my place at a street corner, I’d be a smart earner But then I’d be a fixture, like the accordion man and the bums with PVC buckets The bar goers would soon hate me for chumping them out of their cash with three gritty “Heart of Gold” covers Then soon the mediocre bums would jump me and Riot, my guitar She’ll smash into the walk under a Irish flag in front of Murphy’s Law, while drinkers whoop and punch the air The bucket goes over my head and the accordion bellows squeeze round my neck

As Captain Jack kisses of the last roach Lavender's in the boathouse window shouting that she's grown wings that she's gonna fly over Old Casey's boat above the painted lake past where the music surrounds permeates with the pulse of noise Green Hat pulls me over says my name is Corey or Kelsey Kelly's a **** name I tell him back home people call me Blow Enter Tennessee the cinnamon sipping reds smoking sonofagun Are you Kevin? I ask the fingers that familiar flight of touch leading me down and down and down towards our game "Never have I ever" howls the young Indian chief, scarf draped in madness the fearless warrior Peepeeohpee Someone has trapped the moon behind the window the house on the hill someone has fed the fire with its secret light This stranger this enigma this Laura I am her cousin and everyone I touch is Kevin Then with the sun Tittas steps off the boat as Jesus sacred palms slashed from last night's ritual Bums a cig from Drew or Not Drew with the thousands out west and the lotus flower arms Floats on her back French exhales As I look at our feet stained red with ink all slow spirals soft wind ***** flowers then to the shore the fireflies still dancing through the dawn Flying high Secretly praying to each outshine the fade

Some say anger is a wasted emotion, Id argue that anger is why we are free from Hawaii to the Atlantic Ocean Some say anger only breed’s violence and hate, I disagree; anger is the reason for every revolution to date Some peoples anger burns hot and takes control, Mine kept chilled, a reptilian soul A warm blooded mammal with a cold reptilian soul, Trying to make sure anger is used correctly from the far east to the close to home west. Einstein dared to solve Mc squared. So I will teach y’all to be angry, sharpened teeth bared Then you will be taught, How to teach. For anger with out purpose is for naught I fight for change, Till I stand limp on the big bad mans firing range Some say anger is for those with nothing left I say anger is the beating behind this planets chest Some say anger is for outcasts and bums. Yes anger is for outcasts. The too short the too tall, the too smart the too dumb The too fat the too skinny, the too poor the too rich Anger is for outcasts and bums. Some say anger is a wasted emotion, yet for me, anger drives me when I write these poems
