Doubt is the lonely father of fear Not a clad caped hero Waiting to swoop in And save the day But a two faced killer clown Wearing ****** crocs With electric joy buzzer shocks Sending surges through your veins Sending urges that drive you insane It may be in reason It may be in season But the summer heat Can burn your feet Under the fire of fire Place you in stasis As you wait to find were your space is Letting others tell you were your place is While they race to chase A better life Doubt can be better than blind Adherence You just have to watch out For the dangerous side of doubt Turn detective to fix the defective And Steer clear of the fear That disparages hope and reason

The Batman Of Doubt
A Good Man Died A good man died and we say goodbye On earth he touched so many lives A guardian sent to protect and serve Now with Angels wings, much deserved A good man died and so we cry Friends and family salute his life A man of courage who protected all He stood his ground when duty called A good man died we ask not why For we know he serves on the other side With a heavy heart we bow our heads We pay respect for the life he lived A good man died and we say goodbye On earth he touched so many lives A guardian sent to protect and serve Now with Angels wings, much deserved A good man died In Honor and Respect For Detective, Ron Price 1940-2013 Columbus Ohio Division of Police

A Good Man Died
"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
dear chemistry, you are a detective you hold scientists in an enchantment of protons and neutrons you dissect me identifying the components that allow me to waltz across light and holy ground while you are bound to seek solace in what my atoms cannot give you i cannot give you motion or allow you speed past me that is my task my task is to entrance philosophers in the "whys" and "hows" of my force and energy and i'm sorry that you are bound to be prose when you seek to be poetry i'm sorry that if you were a musician you'd have all the words and i'd be the melody we'd be the song that could never meet i'll meet you in between the horizons when my masters speak to yours pondering on what allows the why to occur and how does the event happen i'll meet you in between question marks and white coats i'll meet you in the next life when maybe the future will allow us to be trees instead of branches my arms will spread to reach out to your matter past the artifices and your atoms will race towards me all force, energy and velocity and i will ask the "whats" and "hows" and maybe you will answer the why and maybe the answer will be a discovery a phenomena of sentences all questions already answered always yours, physics

A blank page waits for words that it will never see Created from the head of someone writing a story Characters, plot, setting, theme, are central to the tale Without them every narrative is simply guaranteed to fail Stakes and consequences must exist for someone to pursue Whether treacherous of heart, or noble, brave, and true And if these traits stand not alone but mixed in with the rest That simply adds more intrigue to the outcome of the test Will he get the girl?  Will she rise above her station? Can a rags-to-riches fable captivate the nation? Who done it, where and why?  Are three questions most effective But often ****** requires the help of a detective These may seem like idle, fragmented bits of a much larger whole But actually they’re not; every type plays a role For you see, “someone” mentioned above is not a professional writer But an individual on a journey, and we all must face it like a fighter Characters are those you know and love, plot is what you choose to do Setting is where you live, theme defines what is important to you So why a fighter you may ask, someone who faces pain and strife? Because we encounter both good and ill as we write our book of life

Earthquake Poem 3/5/2014 What do you suppose an earthquake does? Sure, there are the shakes and scares, Seismic shifts accompanied by tectonic tears. But ditch this global perspective, Figure out what rips those ripples, detective. Let’s see you pound at the ground. Hit it hard, ‘til you hear a heavy sound. Is that enough to fissure some asphalt? Tell me, could you bring this spinning planet to a sudden halt? I can’t say for sure, what an Earth-quake does. Though I’ve been a victim, Earth isn’t where my quake was. An Earth-less earthquake, On a planet whose name I’ve learned to forsake. Wynn’s world wandered ‘round someone else’s orbit: Drawn to its gravity like grapes grow on a vine; Brightened by its solar system’s shining smile, so divine; Emotional tides tugged in and out; Guided by its mysterious moon’s midnight meandering about. That’s right – an orbit with its own time flow. Time that could stomp its heels and steal a spotlight, Time that could manipulate a moment like jello, mayonnaise, or some other squishy substance, Time that could crash course, while standing still, Time that could reveal something you never knew. What do you suppose an earthquake does? A quake could be anything that makes you shake. Think of quaking in fear, as an unknown figure draws near. Think of a jittery heart, that’s been bit by a bullet. Internal tears, think of organs bleeding, Think of needing, solid ground, but falling and time keeps stalling. When a quiet little quiver promises to deliver, its slight shock signal straight through the middle. When a molten magma core fizzes its manic madness, like a shaken soda. When an epic eruption carries out its upward excelsior, Rejecting the spinning without a stop. Oh, the mountains will tumble, The hills and valleys, they’ll crumble, And gurgle in the raging rivers’ rumble, As volcanoes churn out violent bubbles, Stirring up all kinds of troubles, For one person’s personal planet. For one person’s personal planet, These violent forces of nature can’t compare to an Earth-quake, When the ground you stand on begins to break, When you realize your senseless stability is fake. When that little quake knocks your Earth awake, It’s reality coming alive to take, and take, and take, Because for love, you put everything at stake. What do you suppose an earthquake does? I’ll tell you – it leaves a wrecked world with a cracked core and scorched surroundings. Just because. Just because, love on Earth always comes with a quiet little quake.

What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whit- man, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon. In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations! What peaches and what penumbras! Whole fam- ilies shopping at night! Aisles full of husbands! Wives in the avocados, babies in the tomatoes!--and you, Garcнa Lorca, what were you doing down by the watermelons? I saw you, Walt Whitman, childless, lonely old grubber, poking among the meats in the refrigerator and eyeing the grocery boys. I heard you asking questions of each: Who killed the pork chops? What price bananas? Are you my Angel? I wandered in and out of the brilliant stacks of cans following you, and followed in my imagination by the store detective. We strode down the open corridors together in our solitary fancy tasting artichokes, possessing every frozen delicacy, and never passing the cashier. Where are we going, Walt Whitman? The doors close in an hour. Which way does your beard point tonight? (I touch your book and dream of our odyssey in the supermarket and feel absurd.) Will we walk all night through solitary streets? The trees add shade to shade, lights out in the houses, we'll both be lonely. Will we stroll dreaming ofthe lost America of love past blue automobiles in driveways, home to our silent cottage? Ah, dear father, graybeard, lonely old courage- teacher, what America did you have when Charon quit poling his ferry and you got out on a smoking bank and stood watching the boat disappear on the black waters of Lethe?

Why have two arms? If you're not willing to hug. People are quick to punch with two arms. Even with one arm. You can deliver a lovin' hug. It these limps that truly assist us. Sure there are others. But at the present. I'm not mentioning them. Altho' I'm sure the lips. Are a little jealous. Why have two hands? If you're not willing to use them. We use them to shake hands. Altho' we have those afraid to catch a germ. As if. They hadn't caught germs from other items in their life. This hug. Which can be given with kindness. Which can be deivered with softness. Well, in this case. The receiver might have a sun burn. Or some other type of injury. Plus, you can hug too tight. And be banned from trying that again. When requested to just shake hands. Of course. You have those that does the search and feel. Trying to be like a detective trying to pat you down. But for those that's truly sincere. You personally know those that's sincere. When giving a hug.

Dear Hot Straight Actresses, Stop playing perfect lesbian characters on TV that cause me to become wet on lonely Thursday nights. It’s the equivalent of waving double chocolate fudge cake in front of a menstruating woman who has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. To name a few, Jennifer Beals as Bette Porter on The L Word. Stop it! Naya Rivera as the sassy Santana Lopez on Glee. Stop it! Angie Harmon as butch goddess Detective Jane Rizzoli on Rizzoli & Isles. You may be in the closet but you are gay and stop! And Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw as the married ****** Dr. Cali Torrez and Dr. Arizona Robbins of Grey’s Anatomy. You…you keep going. You two give me hope. Hope that someday my insanely high expectations will be met when my hot art collecting, sassy mouthed Doctor with handcuffs in her back pocket jumps from the screen and onto my sweatpants covered lap. In this crazy assumption that I’ll end up falling out of an apple tree letting gravity push me into the arms of a woman who fixes my broken sense of reality with a amazing great hair and a wedding proposal. Missing out on the Hot barista who gives me an extra large when I ask for a small or the Budding **** artist who invites me to her galleries only to realize her muse has oddly the same hips as me. or the Best friend who is still stuck in the shadows of my closet. Nope…didn’t see any of those. I’m too busy watching the **** tube to see what low cut tops they can get away with before they leave the set and back to their husband and 2.5 kids. All I’m asking is… …when is it coming out on DVD?

Another morning in the life Of a P.T.D, I slurped my Juice back all  400 ml, then Stretched up, fingers Wiggling as mother picked Me up. Snuggles in the morning Nothing better, to show I'm Loved. But back to business, As I turned my dummy to The opposite side, the taste Is better every time its turned Soothing with each **** It was nearly breakfast time A belly is never wrong, MMmmm... Toast and jam, I smile At mummy with my Cheshire Jam smiled face. "Silly little man" As she wipes the smudges From all over my face. A case to solve, was my plan, The missing statue of SANDMAN BOB tm. It was here before, but now Gone, the prized possession Of hairy dog, as I pat his head And he licks my face Yuckkkk.... Doggy that was yuck, he wags His tail and then he is off. What a morning so much done, Time for a nap then detective Work to be done. I wake to Dads voice, "Morning little man" "How was your nap" As i give my answer with a Yawn and a smile, he gives A cuddle then off to work for Hours of fun and playing games. The clues to be seen the trail To be found, for I'm ***** Trained Detective"* And no case is to far, as Long as I can have a nap And a cuddle, maybe a Little sip and a gulp, here On look out of what is to Be found. Hairy dog is sleeping in his bed, I hear a noise I hear a Sound?? What a strange noise, "Snoring" "NO" "Bottom belches" "No funny smells" As I lift up his blanky Softly so not to wake doggy's sleep, And their he is safe and sound. "SANDMAN BOB" "Playing hide and go seek" Under hairy dogs nose and bottom, As he sleeps it does squeak, it Does beep, I lift it up and under His paw, to surprise him when He awakens. A tail shall wiggle And flop around, but the case was Solved and a happy smile found. ***** Trained Detective* does it Again, but for now it is nap time, A new case, a new thing to be Found. I will see you all again Soon, But now its snuggles Time with mummy in bed. As I close my eyes night, night I turn my dummy once more, As sheep float quietly over my head.

Folds, fur, creases and greases on your clothes Have you had a nice breakfast? No, no, it doesn't seem so. You've had a bad day since you've risen from your bed. Your hands are shaking and don't even notice it, Probably because of the nicotine hidden in the left pocket of your jacket. Ahh! Shut up! You were thinking! It's annoying! Get out! Get out! I need to go to my mind palace! Also, if you think that I'm a psychopath, I'm just a high-functioning sociopath. With your number! -smiles- Oh, John Watson? You've got a limp from your last war from Afghanistan. Your hand stays steady when you're suspicious or feel like you're being threatened. Hmm, you like the battlefield, don't you, John? Ahh, you can be my colleague! Come on, John! Wait, what? Who are you? The name's Sherlock Holmes and I live on 221B Baker Street. And, I'm a consulting detective who uses, The Science of Deductions

Sociopath, not psychopath.
OLD HOUSE They retain precious memories, intimate feelings of inhabitants passing through its sagging doors. Romantic are seekers of forgotten times memories encased in hard wood floors; as lath plastered walls ooze remnants of a history while we; when inclined listen. We don't go very often, to abandon houses, perhaps on a dare, or at Halloween. Are we passed enjoying extremes into this another world, musty energy a curious child. That was the yesterday which now waits behind musty, dusty, derelict halls. I stand I stand at paint chipped banister, a faded worn carpet once carried dancing feet, children playing before they sleep. The broken coat tree on the floor. From the third floor murmuring, a wind storm jars loose fears, of time once lost to dreams. Echos billow from each room, curtains hanging yellowed by a sun where dancing light through holes in damask lace. Mice gremlin's artful droppings, tracks of nature on dirt strewn floor. Broken shards from window panes, confetti after New Years day. Branches scratched etched paths, tracks like graffiti on sill its unread words, a glif eerily cast shadows trigger echos from the past. Jagged memories protrude from every corner mixing with new, enriching our fantasies bringing us closer renewed; these musty memories long forgotten. Like waves rushing back; flooding a mind like broken dikes they crash into our world, Rembrandt's paintings on canvas fading. Silent footsteps outside a door, we hear laughter from bedroom walls; a smell a whiff of hot butter *** silent conversation coming our way. Old Doc Masters listened at my chest, as I read all by candle light, Sherlock detective stories or the Tell Tale Heart of Poe or Othello; all masters in the past. A Grandfather clock stands silent, keeping time, lost its tick yet still striking, it stands tall, upon a clueless floor. Knowledge lost to a past in a house so worn, births, deaths, wars, wrapped forgotten, encased by neglect, I visited a house besotted, neglected waiting to be remodeled into another century moving it to present times.

The sly smoke lingering upon the room The door open, enclosing the broom Calmly I sat, on my wooden chair Reading the newspaper, under the sun's glare Yet the phone soundly rang A catchy tune it's speakers sang In my mind, who could it be? In the end of the line, a stranger greets me. And such reveals the mists of mystery He demands me to stay awake This uncalled feeling of stressful misery Is far worst than I could take

The detective
Hildegard of Bingen the most musical abbess of the year 1097 a.d. met with Jung the unconscious detective and Ginsberg the howling poet for lattes at some Starbucks in a vibrating city on a shimmering afternoon. Angelic minuets keep flowing, effervescing through my chakras like tonal champagne . . . the glowing femme declared. Beams of ethereal light infuse me, tsumanis of energy tempt me to dance right out of my habit. Ignoring the possibility of seeing a naked nun drink coffee in public, Alan mused behind his hornrims . . . I get what you mean like I have felt the same perfusion of joy watching cans of peas and ayahuasca dance with talking bananas at the A&P; Market near my pad in Brooklyn, can you dig it? Still suffering from his Freudian hangover, Carl reframed them both . . . Any conclusions or convictions drawn from such experiences may not self-verify because your introspective identifications attempt in vain to concretize the amorphicity of decentralized psychic sensations which reach conscious awareness only at the expense of extension. What did he just say? Hildegard asked Alan. I have absolutely no idea, the portly poet answered as he doodled an intricate mandala on his hemp napkin.

MANDALA SHMANDALA
You tried to pull a gun on me. I just pulled mine faster But what you don't know is Three days later I put my gun to my head. I couldn't live with the fact That I almost pulled the trigger on you That I was ready to stop your threat. What you don't know is one month later I still had nightmares That I overdosed on pills Hoping to never wake up. Six months later I still see your face I still think of the what ifs One year later I still wake up screaming Fighting your invisible threat. One year and six months later You voice still haunts me. You were eager to **** be because I wore a badge and gun. My coworkers ***** me. Two against me. What you two didnt see The detectives interrogated me. Told me I asked for it I should have fought back One day later the detective picks me up I tried over dosing minutes before they came They noticed the cuts but didn't notice That I was falling fast I couldn't keep my eyes open. My speech was slurring I walked like i was drunk I made it through the **** kit I got home and slept for three days straight One month later i quit my job. My body couldn't handle the stress I kept dissociating. Six months later I still couldn't have *** I started learning jujitsu I had bought a gun One year later I was more confident But i still feared *** I feared men I still had nightmares Two years later I'm still managing to struggle I still hear your voices Still see your faces Still feel you in my dreams Two years and six months later I'm more confident. I still have difficulty with men. But now I am well on my way to be a police officer An EMT I can't let you win! Ever!

I am often under the impression that old fashioned street lamps The ones with eight sided glass and black ornate poles Are strategically placed by the city planning commissioner's office To let me know the wardrobe is just a few dozen feet away And it will take me away from this Narnia If I just open the door My phobia of opening doors gets worse every time I think I've finally found it Only to walk right into the girls bathroom after lunch On five alarm chili day at the cosmetology school in Little Korea Town I don't like watering the plants It makes me wonder why mother nature fell asleep on the job But the plants are always telling me the rain can't get them inside my living room So I started the fire that the insurance won't pay for And the chemicals in the emergency sprinkler system killed the plants anyways It also killed the fish But the insurance adjuster wore gloves So he's still alive I would make a pretty ****** politician I get upset at people who don't make sense Though sometimes I don't make sense I also have a bad habit of doing the wrong things for the right reasons I have found Waldo three times He says hi Carmen Sandiego is in San Diego Which makes that trip to Cairo a really bad piece of detective work On a related note Al Gore is Captain Planet And every time I hear a bug zapper I think it is the bat from Fern Gully But it is not It's a bunch of dead moths in a box Monkeys in a barrel That's how my mind does things Every time someone say "it is" When "it's" would be acceptable I remember The Land Before Time "This is fun, it is, it is" You are welcome

people seem to think that when someone's anorexic, they'll know, because the person will never eat i find this funny because my best friend never ate a single day at lunch and when they accused her of being anorexic all i could think of -- as i was eating my lunch -- was how dizzy i got from just walking up the stairs.

stop playing detective
Venus cursed but well rehearsed Phoenix heart destined to burst Through cleansing flame I'm what remains Infinite energy that never drains Past..Forever regrets we sever Break the pattern release the teether Listen maybe you'll understand Our future is held in our hands Once upon a selfish mind Saw the light made me blind Search for answers that's what you'll find Cast I am I play a fool Manipulating every rule Two versions of me in a duel Both lay dead in a pool Procreate self reproduction Initiate new construction Find a purpose how to function Don't be a meal to feed corruption Oh my lord I feel a change Phasing as I rearrange Wisdom flowing like a sage Cursed I am with a life that's strange

Venus Cursed
with moonlight, he travels mostly at night, past snoring hikers and embers of fires that cooked their food, kept darkness at bay, and heard what they had to say if the coals could only speak, perhaps he would find the right circle of stones, a black heap of carbon that once glowed red and gold, and her tale would be told at least he would know the last words she spoke in this wilderness--whether she chose to vanish into the deep wood, fodder for the scavengers or was the prey of evil men, who lurk at every turn--in bustling city and quiet forest as well--vipers who strike without warning, without curse or cause when the moon's light wanes, he moves yet in darkness, feeling his way, a nocturnal detective, hoping to find what the others have given up for lost and registered among the dead: sign or scent of her--black coals or white bones, a piece of tattered clothing, the canvas backpack with her name, the hiking boots he laced for her which left tracks he forever yearns to find...

He finds the clues come to him like fireflies swarming around him in the air murderers all have long shadows & some were born with silver spoons in their mouths & others not He assembles collages of cases from newspapers to see which ones remind him of which & drinks too much as the night holds him close. He's got a Dame in town he knows she's bad news He knows his whole life is a case of Win or Lose A card trick played by a blind man he has too many regrets & yet none at all

The Detective
Take note examine close As I pour out drop by drop This unidentified substance Become the detective Be a Sherlock Holmes Pick through with a fine tip comb Use your imagination Your one step away from solving this mystery Maybe someday this will become history

Detective Poetry
i. An enthusiast of Japan With her love of detective conan; She loveth YouTube, and small thing's cute Her voice is uplifting, maketh a lame man start moving. ii. From the ancient province Of Misamis Occidental; In the northern Mindanao region Her birth was preordained, not accidental. iii. Her favorite color's yellow And looketh **** in yellow dress; Though I love her also in black And red she's a Filipino conqueress. iv. I knoweth all about her Inside and all out; She's a present wrapped in palm's She's mine soulmate, no doubt. ©Brandon Nagley ©Lonesome poet's poetry ©Earl jane Nagley dedication (soulmate)
