"contestants" poems
We enter the church and immediately have to push through two dozen sobbing Italian women dabbing dry eyes; their tissues only show black and multi-colored smears. Amid the echoing “Oh my Goawd”s, they lean down and kiss my sister’s cheeks, but even in my best black cap sleeves, I am the taboo to my cousin Janet, a woman as barren as the stone lot in between her husband’s restaurant and Deihl’s Autoshop. We find an empty pew, and watch as the men stride down the aisle, contestants in a cultural Miss America pageant where the wrong answer gets you whacked. Their heavy brows sink in condolence as they hand over stacks of bills, every hundred becoming a pity penny for all the moments Janet lost in her luxury-life made shiny by diamonds and cars and fur coats which can’t be cashed in for a second chance at a family. The men have paid for the food, the china, the band in the corner meant to fill the space of sadness— a reminder that we live a lavish life. My sister shifts in her seat and as a man walks by she touches his jacket, and gasps. He’s a god.

The Funeral for My Cousin's Husband
Somewhere, there is a labyrinth, where people wander around and around, suffering, Unwilling contestants of a cruel game, where the Winner doesn't live to tell the tale—to claim the prize. It is Wicked and unrelenting. The wardens of this Prison are ruthless, indiscriminately casting their victims into the labyrinth, Just to see what they're made of. Around and around they go, trying to get out of This endless ring of suffering, Trying to regain control of their lives from this Monstrous power. They search to find out where the end is, Around and around, bewildered marionettes, hugging the Walls, as cold as death. But they cannot find the exit to this labyrinth. They cry out and curse this labyrinth Of suffering. They don't want to know what they're made of. They want to stop the agony and the suffering. "Around and around is not the answer to this," They finally cry like hungry animals, "Straight and fast is." And so they go, straight and fast, to break away from the Horrors they're frantically attempting to escape. The Frigid walls, stretching endlessly upward, collapse as they blast through the labyrinth Like siege engines. Around and around their heads, like drunken birds, images of Their lives whirl by. Desperate to put an end to their sweat and suffering, These prisoners blindly race toward the light in the distance. But this Solution does not completely end the suffering. That's not how the labyrinth is. Look around you. What you see is Filled with raging fists, starving mouths, and the Cries of those drowning in their own suffering. This world is a world of Recurring pain, winding around and around like a labyrinth. Look around you and answer me: What is this? This Is The Labyrinth Of Suffering. We all are stuck suffering, flies in a web. We imagine ourselves escaping, hiding this Bleak present under a fabricated future, but the labyrinth does not begin or end. It just is. So around and around we go. Welcome to the labyrinth. Let's see what you're made of.

_While most beauty pageants are strictly for girls_, there are a growing number that include boys as well;                        [often, age divisions                        for boys run through age 6                        with very few going beyond that due to lack     of mutual participation in the rampant molestation];                                       Age divisions will often have names such as Baby Miss, Petite Miss, Little Miss &c. Age divisions broken     down   as follows: 0–11 months, 12–23 months, 1-3 years, 4–6 years, 7–9 years, 10–12 years, 13–15 years, and 16–18 years; For boys,         sometimes two age divisions would be merged such as 0–3 years, 4–6 years, etc. Depending on which type of pageant system is entered, contestants will spend about two hours or less in the actual competition. Typically, pageants have a guideline of no more than one and a half minutes on stage per child for beauty or formal evening wear; talent usually limited                        to two minutes or less;         with the exceptional allowance         of two and a half to three minutes; In glitz pageants, it is expected that girls have different routines for every segment of competition composed of different movements sometimes described as sassy walks and pretty feet among other names. ****** expressions can include liberal amounts of duck face; often referred to as "pro-am modeling". Big hair (including fake hair), flawless makeup, spray tans, flippers [fake teeth], and nail extensions are also expected of contestants;                    Glitz pageants may best be described as anything goes; groping, molestation, **** group molestation,          forced oral & ********* virginity checks are routine; any hyperactive child & also the parent subject                               to a thorough, prolonged cavity search; In contrast, natural pageants have fairly strict guidelines regarding clothing, makeup, hair extensions, etc. Programs such as _National American Miss_               forbid any makeup other than non-shiny lip gloss & mascara;               for girls on stage. This modeling style is referred to as Miss America style [Some pageants have a prescribed set of movements while others                    allow more latitude in how girls will use the stage or runway] Miss Tanguita translated _Miss Child Bikini,_ is held in Barbosa, Santader, Colombia as part of the annual del Rio Suarez Festival

leave it to fate to bring the two they hadn't known what to do strangers at a concert yet they couldn't collide but still, fate was there and all it took was time x-factor as single contestants made it hard for fate to work soon the two met in the bathroom the tall one had a smirk an 'accident' occurred but it was no problem oops and hi was all it took simple words, really but infatuated, their hearts shook band mates of a popular group they fought through management made it harder it wasn't a secret - everyone knew as lovers, they knew how to love yet every single day, it had to be hidden there was nothing they could do for it had been forbidden fate couldn't finish her job it was left to the two they had to fight and fight but that was how green met blue

Black widow, waiting for a strike, Crouching small, behind your mike. You love to see contestants cringing, This is a quiz; it’s not a lynching. Face ******* up behind her glasses. I’ve seen better bums on lasses. Centre spot on stage she poses, A jagged thorn on jet-black roses. She’d like us to believe, I think. She’d never be the weakest link. Superior look upon her face, Shame about the old boat race. What’s this I see? You have a degree? Still, you’ll never be as good as me. Who chose that dress? Don’t like the shirt! She loves to dig and throw the dirt. Oh! And you belong to Mensa. I’ve never met anyone who’s denser. This is a quiz, I hope you know? You’re the weakest link; you’ll have to go. She earns more money than the Queen. She’ll never be an old has been. Was she born or just invented? Let’s hope the moulds been lost or dented. Where do you come from? No don’t know it. Still you’re common and you show it. I’m from Liverpool; I’m a Scouse, You ought to see my big fine house. It’s easy when you have the answers; see! Too believe you are much cleverer than we. But you’re not that clever, Ann we think. Oh and one more thing, I Hate That Wink!

BANK OR PASS I HATE THAT LASS
No woman Is worth what you put me through, Girls talk about men and the bad **** he'd do, But that's nothing compared, To the emotional despair, From terrorist attacks, from a woman's lair, **** I'd wonder why I'd care, Sayin' it isn't fair, Ya disappointment's perpetual and you were never there, Should have not got ****** now my heart need repair, And through all the pain and agony you weren't even aware, I tried to shrug my love, Pretend I didn't give a **** Hoping it didn't come back round like bad karma, ****** luck, Hard truths, Cold facts, It's all through, What's the point of part one if there's never part two? Heart's glued, Still trying to put back broken pieces, It's all you, And I'm thinkin' over thesis, Go back to observation, Evidence of perpetration, Hold you accountable for all ya allegations, It all supports my theory, If I'm superman your kryptonite when you're near me, I fear thee, Cryin' when you week and weary, Sayin' "Jared, I need a friend so please hear me" 'Cause that's the nicotine I try not to let get near me, Askin', "Are you listening?" Through self imposed misery Treatin' me like a figurine, So I play you like a tennis team, And make sure you get no love, back to my history! Because you never deserved my presence, Men try to win ya heart just a part of contestants, Just to win a section, Of your empty affection, Compulsion, and expections, Of giving that's one way in direction, Taker Take her, Come meet you maker, The distance you created like the comet did the crater, Don't ask me for no favors, Cause i savor the flavor, Of live with out you compared, To a life with you despaired, And everyday your name slips me, Is like a little victory, Because you name is to me, A bad taste in my mouth, and amnesia is my listerine, Forgetting things, Now relationships are hard, because, of what you did to me, Left me with scars, half dead like chivalry, But it still lives through me, If I ever see you again, I'll pretend, it didn't get to me, Stop talking, and start listening, Vapid actress, When will you stop actin'? You can fake love but you can't fake passion, Vapid actress, When will you stop actin'? You can fake love but you can't fake passion.

CHAOS
Beginning with the frost and snow, anticipation extended its tedious reach again, but it was not right to suffer as the season swept around the sun. A member of the fall, like a tender leaf felt inured, by thought, a humble intellect to serve the usual course in words and weather, the pride of a recurring sort. Weary blades of grass were striving, even so, to grow against the warmth in the few weeks, and, as the skirts were purchased in the stores, investment ruled to favor amiable, cold breezes. The house grew quiet as the fans were stilled for a suspense until the furnace roared. The issue was patterns in layers from the top, and the claim to the design belonged only to the way the ice expanded as crystals of moisture, crazy, having forgotten how to caress the blossoms of the shrubs; thus, a pleasure had gone to sleep, its circulation numbed by inevitable force, and conditions hibernated beneath the indelible clarity of the air. The splendid gyrations of the course became obstacles harder on tightened joints, while contestants moved from the warm climate to the chilling, northern forests. It remained possible to survive, because there were other members of the team such as split sticks of wood and cradles for sprained elbows. It could not be suitable to grow tired of such a challenge. When the door was secured, the roots could relax and spread out like the tentacles of a squid, beside the glowing hearth, to read a book or watch a show. Above, there was nothing left alive between the earth and the birds, scratched into the sky and dashed along the lines of wire. Birds sagged and were swaying while the gusts played with their bony feet clutched around the cylinders made of copper and coated with insulation. Warm currents and feathers made a thatch for a roof that favored the roots and left them insulated while around them slumbering creatures had been forgotten. No memory existed to claim the cycle of the warm days when the humming in space reflected the ripples in the shaded pools. The endless days were the realm of vacant threads of branches in the chilly trees.

I've been coming home, feeling kinda lazy Just art, just music nothing really amazing What I think is average others think is blazing I don't want to be stuck in a fuse about what was written I don't want to be stuck making ******** discussion I don't want to be the one to judge what is or what isn't Stuck in this fiction of making a living Ethan hunt on the hunt This passion is my mission I'm so passive aggressive I say **** my contestants All the hate, I digest it Check my inner intestines They are coated with steel What is the pursuit of happiness? Is happiness even real? False media & markets items bought for apartments ***** clothes on my carpet feeling down an exhausted Emotions are quite toxic All is a thought process Rolling over in bed I feel the dark on my eyes Then feel the light on my head Get up and do it again This cycle just never ends Penny pinching, and quarter quivering, dollar dribbling.... this Average life is for a simpleton

I've Been Coming Home
I feel sorry for the homeless man by the dumpster He must get so cold during the winter I feel sorry for the single mother with her two children She must want the best for her kids but will never have the chance I feel sorry for the starving child on the television I wonder if he will understand why he has to be hungry I feel sorry for the people who hurt others Almost as badly as the people they mistreat I feel sorry for those who live their lives only by God Will they ever get the chance to live their own lives I feel sorry for those chroniclers of the lives of celebrities They would give their life to have that attention I feel sorry for the narrow-minded bigot Where will their place be when acceptance takes root I feel sorry for the children pageant contestants Mothers living through their child what they could never be I feel sorry for those who judge others at first glance Even though I do the same thing I feel sorry for the suicidal They can’t see what beauty is left in the world I feel sorry for the unwanted old man He never wanted to be a burden to his children I feel sorry for the handicapped Even if they don’t need our help I feel sorry for the crying alcoholic I hope they have good reasons I feel sorry But I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me

Sorry
Joey and the gang invited me for some bowling after our shift. I was just about to put on my teal shirt when suddenly I heard two titans exchanging blows beyond a field made of cotton. This was the most action I've seen in a while. In a matter of seconds the land was engulfed with familiar shadows. Audiences were enthralled, sweating, setting each other on fire. The armies of heaven are coming soon, I shouldn't go to work And besides, traffic will go from worse to worst at best. Looking like machines dry ******* each other. Elves start tiptoeing on my roof when titan A landed a right hook on titan B Caught a glimpse of my feline companion bolting towards the couch. I started heating water and mixed it with my teabag afterwards. I let this paper made of mom's warm hugs throw themselves around me. I sat beside the window and watched the contestants race each other to the finish line. I find peace in their chaos. I find comfort in their pain. Watching the Earth get rejuvenated also heals my rusted body. This is God's best creation for a weary traveller like me.

My Favorite Season
Hear the motions of the engines, Speed South to North, As well North to South, Care not they, the sounds they make. It is a confession. They speed in the land of **** It increases, then decreases, As they travel past, the open window, Winterless blast, a confession, It feels close to spring. Care not a bit that sounds, rude, to those who tomorrow, Will wake up to snow, while the blizzard sounds here, Are the rush of thoughtless trucks and cars, Which are driven at speeds above the posted limit, Even if they don't have to travel so far, To get home in the drizzle, to their green grass. Maybe snow would slow them down, Or keep them off the road entirely, No, no, not them, they are rude, They have this attitude, Drive like this, no matter what the weather, They are better than the conditions, they drive in. Another confession, they are in it to win, and no one else knows there is a contest and contestants. What a surPrize! Hand him a sextant as he drives at night, after all he has to navigate, Through Facebook and Likes and texts and bytes of downloads from YouTube...would not want to be fashionably late in reply otherwise Your social life, and status, may die. Trafficking bad habits, Instead of "look out for the other guy or gal" The phone and the life it holds, can be dropped, "worse than a dropped call", is all the sirens wail as they go by, Life in the balance, ghosts White knuckling it with one hand, While eyes are fixed, to a deathly white screen And fingers dance solo in some sexless act, The result is the same a distracted fact, The mind is no longer in the car, It has left the body already, Waiting for it to die, Watching from above and reaching to all Who have fingers and a phone Wanting to be ghosts and sticking to the life, Which will make it happen.....by accident. Drive defensively, Leave your phone in the trunk.

I hear dead people driving cars and they don't know it...

~ *Dressed for purgatory But early to the party So many bodies in the house next door A living dance upon dead minds A grocery store sunset Thru the windshield of an SUV Gets you distorted colors in Gasoline rainbows From those precise lines Of the turning lane Love ends at a traffic light We do this to ourselves All in the pursuit of happiness Church of questionable things Descending like vultures Where idols once stood For individual suffering A pageantry of jackals Quiet like sirens Picking at parts of bad contestants Playing a game called 'poisoned trees' Fallen soldiers in strange negotiations With meantime brides Riding on the train of irresponsibility For no apparent reason We do this to ourselves All in the pursuit of happiness* ~

Gasoline Rainbows
An expanded meaning, referring variously to literal bodies and to the vegetative nervous system which controls vital functions. She has been made a constellation and is destined to outlast the contestants. The germs develop first in seven segments, some people may actually fall from their beds. When I was casting in these works the term took on suggestion of how one might view the work, gestures but also the placement and movement. It might have been a drag queen – Some well-formed whole constructed from something in you that is no longer functioning. When you dream about an accidental death of any person, that person’s death symbolizes Macrophobia.

Cut-up #2 (Placentals)
Swift winds run through the park, at dusk Carried on legs of leaves Temporary, as they blow from the path Onto the verdant sheet of blades Laid beside the pavement. The contestants occasionally collide, And tiny whirlwinds Untether their foliage feet from the terrain As they fall onto the track Whistling merrily as they bounce upon the ground And rebounce into their lane To commence the runnings again. No pace is kept And each man is one moment a sprinter And the next a marathon chaser The disciplines remain inexorably tangled In their fleeting eyes.

Races
they always told me, your family will be all you have left, when your trust is in theft, when you've fallen and waiting for the best when your fading in the darkness and everyone is up in the falseness but I've come to a rare conclusion in the end, we live alone, and we'll die alone, everything else is merely an illusion lost in confusion false fairy tales made up in your mind, your pulse is racing, time is wasting were being tested in a world that's infested the contestants are waiting in line, so divine, this life of mine so prepare for the end of time.
