***** The last time, I got an ******** gave the girl my ***** injection, now I have a bad infection. Never again did I get laid, it's going on the second decade, a new ***** I'd sure trade. One ball black, one ball blue, got no paddle for my canoe, my Horton doesn't hear a Who. ***** swollen, like a balloon, feeling like a rabid raccoon, looks like a character from a cartoon. My ***** hurts when I *** why did this have to happen to me, karma is on a laughing spree. Life will never be the same, swollen ***** man, is my nickname, got no fortune, but 15 minutes of fame. Was on a reality show with other freaks, it was called house of the rising creeps, I got booted off after only two weeks.

Many times I get asked what anime is. I wear anime t-shirts, I watch it with glee, I fantasize about it and have conversations about it as well. I go to conventions, I discuss it with my friends nitpicking at strong foes, and I even supported toonami coming back. Yet this question of what anime is always makes me pause. What is anime? I always think about it and I am always unsure of it. It's almost like theaters and movies, anime has many genres such as drama, romance, and even tragedy. Yet sometimes people argue that anime is nothing more than a cartoon. I could say that cartoons are only meant for kids but anime includes that as well. I could say anime has different art styles, but the same could be said for cartoons as well. I could say anime is more Japanese oriented but anime has no limitations. People question it however the same could be said of theater. Why do people love tragedy? Why do people wish to see a girl die from cancer? Why do people wish to see a couple being put through a lot? Why do people enjoy death? Anime has many genres like theater, anime has death, tragedy, and yes even **** Do not judge anime by it's differences, do not say it's simply a cartoon. Because to some people it is their theater, their muse, their life, and their dreams and inspirations.

Anime
seductive decay on summer days we rode down the river in our ripe age, careless if the rapids swept us into their deadly dustpans, the black hole of water, the possibility aroused us, perhaps because it seemed so far away. and next to the river, the appalachian townsfolk wandered the deep grass, they gathered here to see the circling folding-tables, buy the spread of goods, the goods are masks. the masks are of old folks’ faces, cartoon-like, goofy comic characters in the funny pages. masks of rubbered wrinkles, permanent, bulging eyes, whiskered ears that never stop growing, with an elastic band, you can become an elder. old age attracts the crowds, i have a fascination with it myself, picturing all the stories that have taken elders to the present, it’s hard to fake being wise when you’re forced to think for years.

seductive decay
little man by the bus stop with his tin organs, all replaced because his real ones failed him (jst like he failed his old wfe) squat top hat and fat wide smile and he’s almost a cartoon and he’s almost not a person.

fat controller
This poem was written after watching a few hours of slam poetry on Youtube. Let me know what you think...it's my first shot at slam poetry. There are so many words flowing around out there about the big girls. The thick girls, the curvy girls, the p-h-a-t phat girls. About their plush and soft exteriors, their abundant backsides, their willingness to accept themselves and their hopefulness that others will do the same. Their….thereness. They are beautiful, don’t get me wrong. They are beautiful. But what about the skinny girls? The small girls with petite builds and large hearts and an aversion to the word short. The size two and under girls, the drive thru can’t gain a pound girls, the I AM NOT ANNOREXIC OR BULLEMIC girls. The girls who will always be referred to as “pixie-like” or “waif-like” or “twig-like.” The perfect model body girls that all of the other girls hate…because of their lack of fat. Aren’t they beautiful? The girls with the size 32 bust line, the girls who, at 24, still shop in the junior sections of department stores. The girls who, regardless of their age, their strengths and weaknesses, their experiences, heartaches and joys, disappointments and triumphs, their want or need for life and love will always look like they missed a meal or gave it back purposefully with the intent of becoming even thinner. The girls who, no matter how ******* HARD they try, cannot even weigh 100 lbs soaking ******* wet. Aren’t they beautiful? The big girls have to search and search for cute and **** and attractive clothes because of their size. Guess what? So do the skinny girls. Do you know ******* hard it is to find a pair of pants with a size zero waist and a 34 inch leg? To finally find an extra small shirt that doesn’t have one of the top three cartoon characters of the time plastered across the front? All I’m saying is yes, the thick girls, the curvy girls, the p-h-a-t phat girls… They are beautiful. But ****** so am I.

I. The Mermaid I am six years old, and I am obsessed with Ariel from The Little Mermaid-- she is, by far, my favourite Disney Princess. I want to be exactly like her-- hair billowing in red swirls around a heart-shaped face and eyes so blue they put the very ocean to shame (my sister has blue eyes too, you know, and, to this day, I still envy her, for her eyes are the loveliest characteristic of her Beauty-- and believe me, there are many); purple clam shells vibrant against porcelain-doll skin and fully blossomed ******* (in three years from now, I will begin to grow ***** elementary-school style, over-ripe. B Cups going on C cups fated to become D Cups, plum-sized in comparison to the budding mosquito bites of my fellow classmates. Barely a child, womanhood threatens to sexualize my girlish body before I truly know what sexualization is); fins cutting through the water gracefully in all their green, iridescent glory (little did I know that, as I grew older, "cutting" would adopt a far more sinister meaning in the context of my life). But, despite my admiration for Ariel, I fail to understand her desire to abandon her under-sea rendezvous, sunken treasures, oceanic melodies to "be where the people are." This lack of approval I foster exists due to the fact that I am a firm believer of the magic the aquatic realm (and Disney) has to offer. To this day, I continue to maintain my stance-- that Ariel had been terribly wrong in the choices she made-- but I have become cognizant of different (and better) reasons to argue my position; after all, and as a cartoon crab had so wisely declared once, "The human world-- it's a mess."

I see the soft, charming ringlets bounce up, down, and around As my little cousin opens her gift. I hear the tinkling sound of her excited voice, but feel sick to my stomach when she tells Mommy and Daddy what it is. She squeals "Barbie!" And I want to scoop her up and run, Far, far, away from the little plastic doll, On, on, onward toward a safe view of beauty. Her ignorance is bliss, but I know better, And I pray with a heavy heart For that beautiful, creative mind underneath the ringlets. I desperately ask some higher power How we can protect her from that little doll. What were you thinking, I want to yell at the grown ups. Didn't you learn from us? Don't you know that Barbie cut open our hearts and sewed in her plastic ideal Before they had beaten long enough for us to walk? That she shoved sharp words in our head Before we could string together full sentences? That we never stood a chance, From the moment we tore open the shiny paper Dotted with cartoon Christmas trees? That the "must-have" gift for a little girl Would enslave our bodies and minds to a "must-have" torture for the rest of our lives, And teach our brothers and classmates to look for the woman With not enough calories in her body to sustain a simple memory, With not enough room in her waist to hold a kidney? Maybe it's not all your fault, you grown-ups. Maybe you've been chained to the unattainable images for so long That you've forgotten the shackles were even there. But does that not scare you? Maybe you'll remember the strain When you see a beautiful young woman's scars, When you hear a breaking voice speak about her friend's final breaths At her own fragile hands filled with little pills. But most of all, I pray to God that you won't have to remember too late, I hope you don't have to remember when you're chained to her hospital bed Because the insufficiency you gifted her in a shiny plastic box Started a cycle of sinister self-hate and destructive delusion That she cannot outrun. I won't let you forget, because you cannot remember that way. I won't let you forget, because she can't end up that way, like we did. You think you gave her a pretty little toy in a shiny little package. Didn't you learn from us? You gave her Pandora's box. You look at me funny, When I replace the impossibly-sized plastic "woman" in her hands With a toddler-sized plastic piano. You may not remember, but I always will, And I will dedicate my life to making sure These beautiful ringlets will never have to.

what were Walt Disney's nefarious purposes behind inventing a cartoon landscape where children are subjected to an intense media driven recapitulation of childhood; a technology-driven experience of childhood; does a child know what constitutes its own childhood & what is corporate psychological product placement; coming from Middle America how did Walt Disney not find Jesus? in the  Transcendentalist American religion, Hollywood is Heaven & Vegas is Hell; therefore Disneyland is Purgatory - - I totally get that; Forbidden Planet & The Ten Commandments both had their special effects done by Disney; that Disney owns Marvel Comics means that half of all super heroes are Disney characters    the protagonists  in each of  the above mentioned films are            respectively: the Id monster & God

For an hour and a half I sit on the floor holding a piece of shaped cardboard. I turn it round and round to show all side while holding a paper plate of paints. He holds the brush like he holds his pencils “wrong.” He pays attention to the cartoon at his lap and sporadically looks at the tip of the brush. Colors are scattered with no rhyme and reasons and brush strokes are seen without hesitation. He paints and paints and saps his little energy to make a Christmas present for his little sister.

#teamara As in the nub of the remains of crayola crayon that’s been used to color in so many smiling cartoon suns on a piece of paper- Her favorite color is yellow. And I don’t mean a wimpy *** pastel yellow or sometimes a pale yellow I mean her favorite color is bright *** yellow. Like Pikachu yellow. Like she’s almost nineteen but she’s still willing to play Gameboy Pokemon yellow. There’s something innocent yet corny kind of yellow about her. She’s beautiful like yellow jirasol petals She’s intricate as yellow thread woven in a Rasta Dom She’s yellow like gold and Africa She’s sweet like pineapples and delicate like daffodils I still don’t know why her favorite color is yellow Maybe it has to do with her fascination of Asian men… I mean! ...with the continent of Asia She thinks she’s more like pink Japanese cherry blossom trees in the summer But I know she’s truly yellow petals on Paolo Verde trees blowing in the wind spreading around Tucson A metaphor for her love She’s yellow like the color in the middle of my pride rainbow- She supports me She’s yellow like the big painted sun at the hospital with a big grin I wonder why nobody smiles at hospitals The place where life is easily given as taken Where we are reminded that our health is sometimes taken for granted Other than that great big yellow sun She is the only that radiates yellow and smiles In waiting rooms, she seems like she’s the calmest Even though she’s the only one going through surgery She’s so beautiful on the inside her body can’t even take it She doesn’t deserve scions or scalpels to even be considered touching her bronze skin I wish instead they would strip down the color yellow from my life And give it to her to make her smile so bright that even word “cancer” would cease to exist But still. Even through pain and hardships She still smiles. Not only is she yellow when she’s happy She tends to radiate yellow even when she’s gloomy When I’m upset, her aura has way of rubbing off on mine And I get insight to why her favorite color is yellow *** she’s the kind of yellow that represents strength She’s yellow like tall forts made from gold bars She’s yellow like flames that roll of her tongue when she spits fire She’s yellow like a crayola-crayon… except she can’t be broken From her, I’m learning That even when you’re hurting You can still shine bright like your favorite color.

In my pursuit of a higher education I am now starting to study the process of human decomposition And how strange we all rot away like road **** and plant vegetation. I see the word Casper and my memory takes me back to when I was a child Remembering he was a sad and lonely invisible cartoon character. I am now reading it is a proven scientific law, that after you pass And you give up your ghost, your body then becomes A breeding ground and you are the decaying host. Trying to hide the evidence you’re now digging a shallow grave Don’t do that because it takes eight times longer Thinking about submerging in water? Yes, it’s a little quicker But if someone did you seriously wrong and unfair The quickest way to decompose them is, Just leave them hiding under some brush and in the summer open air So then the flies, insects and bee's’ can make a home in their hair. Sir Isaac Newton told the world how gravity should behave And now a modern man proved it is no longer so I can see now, Newton is raging hard and deep inside his grave. I have not a single fear the only thing that scares me is, I know without any doubt now that I am insanely brave Trust me I’ll drag your corpse also and hide it in my make shift grave. I’m out on a night prowl to change Casper’s law And prove to you all that it was really only just a theory Reading books about death gives me a thrill, Better pray and hope I don’t someday become terminally ill Everything I do stems from my madness and with it, Premeditated thoughts and also a great conspiracy.  (SirCARSr. 3-2-2013)

MIST CREEPING SLOWLY The morning found only blood & feathers. The fox leaving only Death & its presence & the gossip of the frightened chickens. My uncle swearing ‘til the sky was blue (early morning clouds that the sun shone through) . An embarrassed **** like a mad alarm clock crying like a cartoon “cock-a-doodle-do! ” My uncle dispatching him with a quick kick. “Oh yeah, and where the hell were you? ” I take in the scene of the massacre & whisper: “I sure wouldn’t like to be    a chicken! ” *    *      * All that next week my uncle stalked the chicken coup waiting for the fox who was clever enough not to turn up until the eight day driven by his hunger & his nature she stared into my uncle’s cold metallic sight & the evil acrid smell of a cartridge caught in flight as both it & the fox(shot through the head)   fell dead at my uncle’s muddied boot. My gentle uncle delirious with Death the frosted air stained with his breath. His voice almost transformed into an animalistic hoot: “Hey boy, betcha didn’t know I could shoot! ” The good side of the fox’s face seemed to still laugh at the very idea of Death. I whimpered: “I sure wouldn’t like to be    a fox! ” The countryside brutal & Biblical demanding a life for a life Yet all I could see was Death...Death. Priest-like... I knelt & whispered a quick act of contrition to the fox’s carcase. My uncle probably thought I was barmy. That night in celebration my uncle wrung a chicken’s neck (the chicken’s name was Patricia)   & I declined the clean white breast still haunted by the chicken & the fox’s death.

You're only seventeen - the light seems to shine right through you, peach-furred skin dessicated drawn in upon itself - and old. Your moisture-dewed youth has evaporated. It’s been emptied ****** clean dried and drained. You reach out with snappable wrists Your brittle bones bulge and bow. Your ribs vibrate with every breath air thrills and ripples the whole chest cavity. Your hands and feet Minnie Mouse big too big for the fragile framed tiny dancer. Your hips have become pelvic bone butterflies that arch and flare out from your sunken abdomen concave and strangely hung with loose folds of skin. Your eyes like oases in the desert of you cartoon-cute big but sunken deep into your head as if drawing away from the sight of you. Just a few more Kilos and you’ll be gone. © M.L.Emmett

Anorexic Girl
Dear fifteen year old self, I know you have never met me. And you never will, for I took over... Grew from your essence. But I just wanted to let you know a few things. See that face of yours? The one you cry in front of in the mirror? You're beautiful. You're changing from a cute awkward little kid into a strong wonderful, inspiringly beautiful woman. Trust nature. Wipe your tears, and believe that it's okay. You're 15. Relax. You're pretty. Those big brown eyes will get you anything you wish for. Trust me. I know. Next, see that boy? The cute one who knows how to talk a little bit too smoothly... Who's a little bit too cheeky.... There's no point in me telling you to stay away because we both know that doesn't work. We are the same person after all... Just be careful...... And whatever you do, DO NOT sleep with him. You're too young. You're gonna have your first kiss, and he's gonna make you feel like you're flying and falling and being caught all at the one time.... But you're not. You're going to kiss people 1000 times better than that, you'll realise it was sloppy and kind of a waste of eight months. But the heartbreak. When he leaves you for your best friend.. When you're left without anyone beside you. That will honestly almost **** you. But you'll be okay. The fact that you feel this way makes you become the strong beautiful woman you are today. You can get through it, all of it, even the **** that's not about the guy. The **** that is going on inside your head, inside your home.... You'll survive. And you'll write. One last thing, I'm sure I'm missing a few things, maybe I'll realise them when I'm a little bit older...... But that musical talent you've got, it's there.... It's in your ears... And possibly your voice. That's a grey area at the moment. You're going to find your way. And musicians should come with warning signs..... danger sheer drop ahead like at the end of the road in a cartoon where the path turns into a cliff....... Because you'll fall, when you're around my age. And they are very good pretenders. Be careful sweetheart. It's never too late. You're growing up so beautifully. Be proud. And try not to be too sad........ Love, 18 year old you...

Love, it's isn't like the movies. And nothing like a Disney's cartoon. Yes, you might find your Prince Charming. And your Cinderella too. Just realize, love isn't like the movies. Or like one of those old religious drama. Where the King visualized his Queen? Or anything shown like the royals dramatized dreams. Once reality kicks in and you adjust. Then you come to the realization. Love only works when you put your hard work effort into it. You'll have disagreements. You'll have arguments too. Just remember, love isn't like the movies. And it shouldn't be. When it comes to you.

When It Comes To You(Love Isn't Like The Movies)
MONKEY IN A RED FEZ DANCING TO ABBA I watch the children play on a sunny Sunday in Rotterdam like a stereotypical alien studying humans. Their cries rise and fall like seagulls as they swing sea-sawing or blurring into one on a brightly coloured turnstile. A man looking like a badly drawn cartoon turns the handle slowly  of a broken down barrel ***** A monkey in a red fez dances on the end of a chain. The barrel ***** spews out everything from Abba to Franz Lehar. The decrepit old man and even more decrepit monkey appear as if they have stepped out of another century. I am far from home. The day is dying. I read from my battered book Hamsun's HUNGER. It's lurid cover torn half hanging on/off. The park deserted now as night steals its colours. The last words of of this the final chapter are lost to me swallowed by the dark. The barrel ***** peersists the soundtrack to some forgotten film The monkey red fez fallen at its feet. The monkey blissfully asleep. The music caught entangled in branches and  leaves. I watch the yellow lights blossom one by one a silhouette of houses like a stage set. Houses like cut-out silhouettes a stage set. The last lines revealed under a passing  lamp "...where the windows shone so brightly in every home..." I laugh at such a coincidence. Leave the book on the bench for some other me to discover when the sun comes up. And return to my space ship.

MONKEY IN A RED FEZ DANCING TO ABBA
The manufacturer must live in Disney land, what a god can do with a twisted hand, who makes mice and calls them a marching band? yes the manufacturer must live in Disney land. The men with plastic heads live in some dolls beds and the munchinkins, (no kin to the other 'kins), friends to Dorothy, see it all. In the Disney town when the sun goes down and the night turns pink, you'd think the bars would crawl with cartoon characters, but I've seen them all on a picture screen, they don't bother me, watching ITV, I feel like Dorothy, yellow brick and click, back to Disney quick. If a god could only be like mickey mouse, eat green cheese in a popeyed house or the rainbow girl could curl me round her hand, I'd like to live right here in this Disney land.

Goodbye Tommy
daffy duck is tired daffy duck is quacking tired of being drawn and being scripted and engineered into always being a cartoon character; daffy duck no longer wants to be daffy duck the cartoon character daffy duck wants to be a philosopher which is all quite quacking satisfying even just to think about and so daffy duck the philosopher thinks: *daffy duck thinks, therefore daffy duck is; but if I, daffy duck do not think I am daffy duck and renounce all the scripts and the words and the expectations and the roles; if I do not think I am daffy duck I am no longer daffy duck or, for that matter, any quacking duck* and so (much to the dismay of loyal fans who want always to be Daffy Duck Fans) daffy duck is no more the cartoon character and becomes daffy duck the philosopher; and daffy duck the philosopher thinks himself out of the quacking role of daffy duck as any quacking duck or anybody at all (much to the dismay of loyal fans who want always to be Daffy Duck Fans)

Beat a thousand beats, Crumble a thousand crumbles; But no single formula, nor restless colloquy Can mend the deafening black gravity nestled in this cage. May grow flowers, but disintegrates to ash. Soars to the highest peak, then jolted with a fatal blow. Comedy or tragedy, truth or dare, numbers or letters, fidelity or treachery; What does it choose? Courage, dear heart.
