Growth of Man—like Growth of Nature
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.

"Hello this is the Plum Wood Police Department.  How may I help you?" "I'm calling because there is a dead woman in the woods by highway 77.  She has no face or eyes." "Who am I'm speaking with?" "This is the killer.  I cut off her face and removed her eyes and took them with me.  That way I can always look her in the face.  **** the world everybody killer." "Sir can you tell me why you did this?  **** he ended his call." Plum Wood was a small city with a low crime rate.  When officer Daniel received a call from a killer telling him there was a dead woman in the woods by highway 77 it was surprising.  Officer Daniel placed the phone back on receiver and took a deep breath. He slowly exhaled and then called all aviable officers and Detective Thomas. "Hello Detective Thomas this is officer Daniel.  I just got a call from a man telling me there was a dead body in the woods by highway 77.  He said he was the killer and that he cut off her face and removed her eyes and took them with him.  That way he can always look her in the face.  I tried to get his name and to tell me why he did this but he ended his call.  I think he was using a cellphone."

Plum Wood Chapter One
It's hard to talk on the phone Can't quite focus on what they're saying Stuttering and stammering for words At loss for what to say Then you have the words again You say the words you mean to say They come out sounding weak and jagged, Meek and lame And you feel useless in the department of speaking Your heart beats and jumps wildly at the attention you never wanted, the attention that seems to put an untold amount of pressure and judgement upon you You never feel like talking again, except to maybe voice an opinion someone might actually care about You panic when someone new talks to you Heart thumping madly to get out of your chest, telling you to get out of this situation This is not a cold, not the flu Not something you can get over too

Department Of Kind Intelligence
When the world turns upside down Because of a computer virus Who ya gonna call? The magical IT department. On horses of cabled veins They charge to vanquish The evil that lurks inside The internet. White flags blowing in the breeze Always on hand and Well educated But miserable in their own way.

Songster, not as sinister as they say, she's no monster, just admittedly a bit lost in her way. she caves as I'm walking down the hall. I pick her up, off of that flooring, the rubbery kind, whatever it is, I guess it's rubber, but the kind that squeaks when you walk on it after coming in from the rain; to hell with poetry. And so anyways I pick her up and sit her on this bench next to me and give her about five minutes to come to terms with breathing and pick shimmering auburn hair out of the tears smeared across her face, two, mesmerizing, perfectly blue wells the source of the streams. And then I ask her what that was all about and she blurts out that she belongs in the Fine Arts Department, and her car broke down months ago but her father doesn't give a **** about it, because she can't lay up the basketball or steal the base and so he honorably lump summed her entire tuition and sent her to another state and how ****** she would be if she had to get a job for the first time at the age of twenty three so she wouldn't have to be dependent on her family and that she was sick of wondering why not a single guy had ever given her a ******* flower and that if she ever did end up liking one two weeks later she would find out that he was exactly the same as the others and she had a broken look in her eyes when she said she wondered why we were all here in the first place, and how we were made this way, and if people were actually ever meant to fit together or not; *what if there was nothing as certain as two halves making a whole?* She wanted to know how everyone's mind had a different game to play, she wanted to know why Jupiter had to be so far away and everything in between. We had strolled off of the school grounds by this time but I still looked twice before pulling out my flask. I  unscrewed the cap, handed it to her and said *follow me to Deadbeat Hollow, where we've already thrown our problems out of the window* and she said lets go.

Walk by numbers in the Parisian palette , spreading the paint around in a long line of lip red scarlet. Pipette sized width following you as you tread on stone, you’re new. Sit with the trains and listen to walls and notice small change, loose change on the floors. Passenger’s stare moves you from carriage to carriage, regardless of UK, American baggage. Surface again, the longest breath you’ve ever held has escaped again into winter’s cold. Steps climb and feet follow, Anubis with a rifle watching over- graffiti crowd control for the younger; sad face, a smile face, Sacre Coeur white face. Sink down along the track, railway men hanging large and fat. Tea for two with warm milk, tea for two without the milk, no tea- up and leave, tip with guilt. **** kicker Paris scruffs her shoes amongst the paint, the blues, the museum’s closed. Again, we have to wait for the universe to align before we get to see her smile. Wait, keep waiting, Mars is coming, revolving towards us. Doors unlock and we enter a tide of tourist and artist and the modernist futurist- lost in this department. She sits there still, not smiling Paris, without you no coffee would ever be deemed good. Without you, I’d be lost and artless and heartless and broke. Even when you take the covers from under me- I’m still warm.

Paris In Winter Is How I See Paris In My Head
Maybe you're the colosseum. The code to get through the glass doors is actually just '1954'. You could put up the painting of me at auction, or I could take a cruise from London to the Islands North of Siberia, a stop in a department store in Northern Greece. I stop and take a ride in the middle front-third seat of a older friend's younger brother's car, and force all of them to come outside and see the spider's eggs at Bob-o-Link. Massive cornucopias of cotton walls entwined with silk. In the department store I ask to be introduced to someone who can take me by the hand and recognize me by my number, show me everything I'll need to shoot a full-length feature, even how I can get to Prague so I can do a little shopping. But the horror of seeing is so frightening, and the girl that I came with wants to do nothing. I find a little shop selling Czech candies, music, and newspapers, so I try to buy everything but the horror is getting closer. I'm in a lazy Susan, how often does that happen? One more turn and I'll lose my stomach contents and then I won't need anything. I take a climb up a street that says "Smrzlinu Ahead," but the houses on the street are all either empty or boarded up. I drift in the soccer field, watching my legs, looking over my shoulder. I fall for a pile of clothes that can hide me but are also very soft to lay in. Another cruise- tropical, perhaps? Somewhere for coy adults, who shed their skin in Winter when their eyes start molting off. Someday I will place both hands into the ocean, I'll dream huge, and go swimming until I start to laugh. One day I'll sink to the floor of the bourn, maybe the same day I wake up and I'm not swimming alone.

Health department signs litter the grass areas, "Do not make contact with the water; Swimming forbidden". Less than twenty years ago I learnt to swim here And fish too, once i even drowned! Sometimes my friends and I would Catch Eels then sell them To the local Chinese restaurant. I treasure those memories of my childhood. This fresh water lake surrounded By trees taller than buildings My beautiful haven from the city, hidden Between main roads and highways that only the locals know. Sitting on sandstone rocks I see my reflection amongst the lily pads. Beyond the depths an entanglement of Roots, seaweed and ******* Natural mandalas made by tadpoles Ripple across the murky brown surface Whilst a rather large water dragon Sun bakes on the riverbank And ducks glide by reminding me Of the canoes we used to capsize And I appreciate how simple life Used to be.

The Lake
Tail turned to red sunset on a juniper crown a lone magpie cawks. Mad at Oryoki in the shrine-room -- Thistles blossomed late afternoon. Put on my shirt and took it off in the sun walking the path to lunch. A dandelion seed floats above the marsh grass with the mosquitos. At 4 A.M. the two middleaged men sleeping together holding hands. In the half-light of dawn a few birds warble under the Pleiades. Sky reddens behind fir trees, larks twitter, sparrows cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep. July 1983 Caught shoplifting ran out the department store at sunrise and woke up. August 1983

136 Syllables At Rocky Mountain Dharma Center
I used to believe in Santa Claus So jolly and red and so fat. I was a big fan of Christmas No holiday was as great as that. Not Easter with those funny eggs Not even Halloween with candy. No, that thing about tons of presents To me, that was fine and dandy. And we even got two weeks off Nobody had to go to school. Then coming back with new clothes That made me look so cool. Nothing compared to Santa Claus The flying reindeer, ** ** guy. I used to try to stay awake So I could see him flying by. It was such a great reality To know that dude was up there In the frozen north pole air Making stuff for kids everywhere. That was the world I reveled in, Where everyone celebrated. I knew I was not the only one Who sat by the tree and waited. I don’t remember being confused By the Santas in department stores. Santa had lots of helpers, I knew, And this guy was just one more. I did have a problem with chimneys And a bag that he could lift That carried things for all us kids; Every size and type of gift. But kids have a way of helping folks To maintain a pretty fantasy. We just ignored things that didn’t fit. We went about it very easily. But one day, and I remember when I got let in on the confidence game And Santa Claus was quickly gone, Never to come to our house again. The sad thing is nothing can ever Replace the joy I once felt. Santa was not supposed to be Like Frosty and too quickly melt. So, I have to make do with having The grownup toys I buy myself. Oh, how I could use a flying sled And the help of a brace of elf.

Last nite I dreamed of T.S. Eliot welcoming me to the land of dream Sofas couches fog in England Tea in his digs Chelsea rainbows curtains on his windows, fog seeping in the chimney but a nice warm house and an incredibly sweet hooknosed Eliot he loved me, put me up, gave me a couch to sleep on, conversed kindly, took me serious asked my opinion on Mayakovsky I read him Corso Creeley Kerouac advised Burroughs Olson Huncke the bearded lady in the Zoo, the intelligent puma in Mexico City 6 chorus boys from Zanzibar who chanted in wornout polygot Swahili, and the rippling rythyms of Ma Rainey and Vachel Lindsay. On the Isle of the Queen we had a long evening's conversation Then he tucked me in my long red underwear under a silken blanket by the fire on the sofa gave me English Hottie and went off sadly to his bed, Saying ah Ginsberg I am glad to have met a fine young man like you. At last, I woke ashamed of myself. Is he that good and kind? Am I that great? What's my motive dreaming his manna? What English Department would that impress? What failure to be perfect prophet's made up here? I dream of my kindness to T.S. Eliot wanting to be a historical poet and share in his finance of Imagery- overambitious dream of eccentric boy. God forbid my evil dreams come true. Last nite I dreamed of Allen Ginsberg. T.S. Eliot would've been ashamed of me.

Dar Al-Hekma University hosted its second fashion show on Sunday that featured the work of its second batch of fashion design undergraduates. The event, titled “Luminosity” was held under the auspices of Princess Reem **** Muhammad Al-Faisal. President of the university Dr. Suhair Hassan Al-Qurashi said: “Providing such events to our students before graduation exposes them to industry leaders of their prospective industries and gives them a head start in their careers. “Dar Al-Hekma University’s students stand out because of the combination of their high caliber and the opportunities the university provides for them.” Along with industry leaders, families of participating students attended. The event started with an opening speech by the department chair for the fashion design program Dina Kattan, who then introduced the sophomore and junior students’ work. Afterward, models wearing three-piece collection garments designed by senior students scheduled to graduate this year took the stage and were graded by four judges. Kattan said: “I am so proud of the work my students presented today; they worked really hard and they deserve a big hand. “Everyone was impressed with the level of creativity and attention to detail they demonstrated.” The judges were Batool Jamjoom, businesswoman in the fashion industry and manager and owner of Jamjoom Fashion House; Amra Alabdalilsharif, director of the innovation and visual merchandising department at Rubaiyyat; Dalal Al-Hasan, a fashion designer; and Aram Kabbani, Dar Al-Hekma alumna and fashion stylist. The grades students received during the fashion show will form part of their final grade. One of the students whose designs were featured at the show, Zahar Algain, said her collection was inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. “Studying fashion has altered my perspective. I view fashion, in the same way that I view life; it’s a matter of balance and proportions. “My interest in avant-garde fashion has led me to believe in using creativity to solve difficult situations. Algain’s collection was meant to blur the line between art and fashion. “It is inspired by Frida Kahlo but with a fictional twist. “The story behind my collection is a daydream, a magical love story, an artwork; it is splattered with Frida’s colorful soul and spirit.” Following this women only event, Dar Al-Hekma is organizing a one-day fashion design exhibition on Tuesday, which is open to all. The event starts from 7 p.m.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide | www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses

President of the university Dr. Suhair Hassan Al-Qurashi said: “Providing such events to our students before graduation exposes them to industry leaders of their prospective industries and gives them a head start in their careers. “Dar Al-Hekma University’s students stand out because of the combination of their high caliber and the opportunities the university provides for them.” Along with industry leaders, families of participating students attended. The event started with an opening speech by the department chair for the fashion design program Dina Kattan, who then introduced the sophomore and junior students’ work. Afterward, models wearing three-piece collection garments designed by senior students scheduled to graduate this year took the stage and were graded by four judges. Kattan said: “I am so proud of the work my students presented today; they worked really hard and they deserve a big hand. “Everyone was impressed with the level of creativity and attention to detail they demonstrated.” The judges were Batool Jamjoom, businesswoman in the fashion industry and manager and owner of Jamjoom Fashion House; Amra Alabdalilsharif, director of the innovation and visual merchandising department at Rubaiyyat; Dalal Al-Hasan, a fashion designer; and Aram Kabbani, Dar Al-Hekma alumna and fashion stylist. The grades students received during the fashion show will form part of their final grade. One of the students whose designs were featured at the show, Zahar Algain, said her collection was inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. “Studying fashion has altered my perspective. I view fashion, in the same way that I view life; it’s a matter of balance and proportions. “My interest in avant-garde fashion has led me to believe in using creativity to solve difficult situations. Algain’s collection was meant to blur the line between art and fashion. “It is inspired by Frida Kahlo but with a fictional twist. “The story behind my collection is a daydream, a magical love story, an artwork; it is splattered with Frida’s colorful soul and spirit.” Following this women only event, Dar Al-Hekma is organizing a one-day fashion design exhibition on Tuesday, which is open to all. The event starts from 7 p.m.Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-adelaide | www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses

The Holy Ones I want to shove socks in my pants, so it looks like I have one of those Italian-line painting ***** I want to do it when I go to the grocery store so fourteen-year olds and thirty-year olds alike stare at my junk as it fills the stitches of my pelvic arena, I want to make eye contact with mothers and grandmothers, brothers and dads as they shift uncomfortably in those handicap battery powered carts that are reserved for the handicapped but are often only used by the near-morbidly obese, near because they’re not quite dead yet, morbid because they can’t help but imagining my **** sliding past their tongue and what it feels like as the tip pushes past their uvula and they gasp for air through their nose because they’ve never had a **** like this in their mouth before. This would be my **** **** This would have me making lists of adult film star names for film star jobs I’d never take because I’d be busy making lists of phone numbers, the college girls I’d have my pick of ******* and the mothers and grandmothers who I’d be happily turning away from while I select my own organic radishes from the produce department at the specialty market on Vine. This **** is better than a rolled up wrapped stack of hundreds or the leather jacket I had in high school, it’d be better than when I walked down Michigan Ave in Umbro Valentino donning a Parisian accent, I can see me having to buy new briefs just to make room for this **** And my own **** getting jealous of the girth I’d be faking it’d swell up, and in the middle of ordering my four-pump Vanilla Almond milk Latte from Starbucks my gray wool socks would fall to the floor, and up from the band of my Acne Jeans would bulge the tip, just the tip, like she said when I was in college, or just the tip like I said when I just needed to feel something other than how emotionally wrecked you made me feel when you told me not to touch you anymore. You ****** me up righteously. And still, 380 women later, I’m ****** up and I don’t have a single pair of socks to wear

We walk along the beach at night, Arms entwined and hearts entwined, Waves lapping 'gainst our feet, Pebbles scurrying like sand ***** 'twixt our toes. Talking about ***** we are both A little tickly in the naughty bits department, As the gentle summer breeze Wafts through our matted ***** hairs. Just a brief hour or two ago, We were strangers at the Pier disco, And now our histories are to be Inextricably linked by fate. I do not know that, in a month or so, I shall need to send you A little yellow contact slip From the Margate Hospital special clinic Informing that you have been exposed to A most unpleasant social disease Which, with a bit of rotten luck, Could easily rot your insides. But, for now, our thoughts are far away As we laugh and joke together In our new found post-coital, Youthful lovers' camaraderie, Not wanting to speak too loudly or disturb The copulating pair by the nearby breakwater (Not that they'd be put off by a thunderclap Seeing as how he's on the short strokes by now).

A Seaside Idyll
In department store foyers, free samples sprayed, A collision of cosmetics muddle the air. The olfactory overpowered by such obvious odours, Why do natural notes disconcert you? Not the gym heavy sodden or overworked, Recognition of an individual, whilst eyes remain shut. Faint trace of the familiar or frenzied pheromones, A headiness misplaced by the cologne wearing clones Preference for the perfumed, the artificial sweetener. Marketed meticulously Musk manufactured yet not made by man Of flowers dear, of oils and compounds. Fresh, fruity, citrus or spiced Artificial aromas keep your own scent disguised Society simulates this sophistication of the senses, Masking yourself from me as you are wooed, Accustomed to this attraction, till you let down your defences How shall I know you when you are ****

“Would you like to try our new fragrance?!”
He worked at the War Department, in the Munitions Ministry, for the Bureau of Cannon Fodder on the Condolence Committee. “On behalf of George, our king, and the grieving British nation We regret to have to share with you the following information….” Passchendaele was at its height, he’d written letters by the score. On the Altars of Incompetence, what’s a hundred thousand more? It was the sort of sinecure in which he took a certain pride: Informing British parents that their darling boys had died. His department heads approved of his selfless dedication, recording for posterity each man’s final destination. Thus it was they failed to notice when he received a telegram. That day he went back to his flat a changed and broken man.. When next day, his chair was empty, and they received a telegram, they were grieved to be informed: He’d died by his own hand. “On behalf of George, our king, and the grieving British nation I regret to have to share with you the following information….”
