"drainage" poems
We, the voice of the most oppressed, Work in the profession remaining the most humble, Throughout histories, as slaves our lives still remain tumble, With our strangled necks, we are deliberately suppressed For the centuries, our voices remain unheard, Like a weeping fish at the sea, We are treated zombies at the rush of a blood, Collecting by hand, the human society’s poops & pea Things for us got intensely worse, We work as a group with an isolated curse, For our livelihood, go into manholes as bare-bodies Mostly get out as dead-bodies From pathology to oncology, We are treated untouchables, even by the modern technology We are the oxygen-offering trees that remain green Hurting ourselves, collecting excreta making this world neat &clean With our hand-cuffs we shout and fight, Rulers remain drunken-deafs to our plight, Hell with your knowledge, to those who go to college And keep pushing us to the drainage, We remain living dead and frustrated, to get our right When asked about work, we remain dumb and blind, Fearing the responses to our ***** revelations, Because humans are unemphathetic and unkind To get our life some elevations. Our mind said us “Please think! Please Think!” When we revolt not to work, societies stink, We warn, Witness your locality ***** To our sufferings, if you keep blank & empty. We are a collective voice, Representing inhuman humanity, That keeps the society on a poise, So raise your voice, with a clarity of choice To get us work with the utmost dignity!

A Deadly cry of a manual scavenger
We, the voice of the most oppressed, Work in the profession remaining the most humble, Throughout histories, as slaves our lives still remain tumble, With our strangled necks, we are deliberately suppressed For the centuries, our voices remain unheard, Like a weeping fish at the sea, We are treated zombies at the rush of a blood, Collecting by hand, the human society’s poops & pea Things for us got intensely worse, We work as a group with an isolated curse, For our livelihood, go into manholes as bare-bodies Mostly get out as dead-bodies From pathology to oncology, We are treated untouchables, even by the modern technology We are the oxygen-offering trees that remain green Hurting ourselves, collecting excreta making this world neat &clean With our hand-cuffs we shout and fight, Rulers remain drunken-deafs to our plight, Hell with your knowledge, to those who go to college And keep pushing us to the drainage, We remain living dead and frustrated, to get our right When asked about work, we remain dumb and blind, Fearing the responses to our ***** revelations, Because humans are unemphathetic and unkind To get our life some elevations.

Inside the drainage basin Bounding my soul Fluid dynamics Condense Phases of water Gather in the Mountain towers Over time Gravity plus precipitation Converts Into snow pack Come spring That snow pack Braids it's way down the mountain Co-mingling with groundwater Bubbling up in springs Gathering momentum In mountain streams A constant conversion from Potential to kinematic Energy Streams make their Way into prairie rivers Meandering along Through riparian pockets Of biodiversity Reaching a levee Then breaching Local, national, and international boundaries Are no match As my soul Finds it's way to base level In the ocean of your love

Base Level
They said there was a drought water was short not enough for domestic use. At first declaring it was nobody's fault it had not rained for a long time! Committing an offence by using a hose pipe truthfully was a load of tripe. Water companies are making a financial killing everyone encouraged not to waste water. More fancy gadgets the public would be willing to buy water use multiplied. As the buzz was building more on any land telling us there was a demand! Thousands of houses built was there a big need statistics only the government held. Groups tried protesting for it not to proceed but fields were still built on. Heavy rains came with more depleted drainage so did the despair and rage. A state of increasing taxes with nothing to show more became classed as poor. Communication with voters becoming very slow the authorities had a strangle hold! As the ban on a non existent drought dragged on more doubters joined the throng! Was there a danger of a growing national threat from people against the elite. Basking in luxury as the masses increasing in debt the drought added more fuel. Restrictions taking away their dignity it turned sour there would be a defining hour. Or is this just a modern nightmare tale? The Foureyed Poet.

Drought!
Strange question indeed, So I asked one and all; Explain to me: “What's a plumber's ball?” Family and friends Heeded my call, But none could confine, Refine or define it, Yet Paul was sure He could design it. Still, none could satisfy My caterwaul: “What the hell is a plumber's ball?” Does it sweat the pipe Or wiggle the snake: Can it clamp the ****** For Heaven's sake? Could it snap on the cock-hole cover? All these queries Made me wonder. Has it something to do With hardness leakage, Or ******** the ball-cock To stop a seepage? Has it anything to do With a saddle valve dripping, Electric eels, Or two pipes mating? And, I heard of male and female fittings, And should I worry If I'm standing or sitting? If you're discharging the head Or elongating the pipe, Does the plumber's ball Help it snug tight? Is it in my tank, Or in my bowl, Beneath the floor Near the drainage hole? Is the plumber's ball In the back of the truck (Jeff laughed and said One could rub it for luck). I asked Michel If he could tell, He sensed it was something He could smell. I sought out Ray, Perhaps he'd know, But he was on call To restrain a back-flow. I couldn't ask Gary For his wisdom and sense, He was wigglin' the snake To unclog a wet vent. Henry, Rick, Scotty and Brian, Gave shameless answers I couldn't rely on. It's not a crapper, tail piece Or Johnnie-bolt, Or catch basin, reamer, O-ring or pipe dope. So I searched the Net With a fool's wonder, And read of ball-checks, Gas ***** and plungers. I know it's too late To ask Rolly or Ross, For both of them knew, And that's our loss. And Ernie's gone golfing So I can't ask the Boss. With final resolve I fell to my knees, To pray St. Ferrer With grace intercede. His silence left me In a state of depression; Had Ferrer washed his hands Of the plumbing profession? So nothing could settle My wherewithal, I still didn't know, What's a plumber's ball? Suddenly, it hit me, He's never wrong, The Dalai Lama of dip-tubes, I'll ask John. Where others did falter, John's a rock: He knows the difference Between a gas and ball **** With a knowing smile He embraced our Hall: Here, good friend, is your Plumbers' Ball.

Review of Systems
I scoffed at my minor cough Until I was immobile as a sloth I had to press pause on my life's tale After I became a beached whale And my body turned frail In my illness jail My stoic resolve tested My pain threshold crested The way I act is antisocial The way I feel is anti-hopeful For I treat others poorly When I'm hurting sorely In sickness for health I give away my wealth To feel one hundred percent That's the physician's intent To make me experience drainage But I need the healing medicine So I can practice the discipline Of removing my diseased shark's fin Ramses II, known as Ramesses the Great Had a permanently fractured finger And his teeth were significantly rotten The pharaoh's excruciating pain Must have effected his reign A massive amount of men slain Is discomfort what's to blame? When there's no pain relief We give each other grief And there's a lion with a thorn stuck in its paw Eventually that simple thorn becomes a claw

Cough
I am a rain drop flopped down from the clouds I could have landed in a river or the sea Then merging with the rising and receding waves I would have been washed down into oblivion Or could have fallen from the heights Into a desolate dreary desert Amid the blistering granules of sand To be absorbed into nothingness Chances are there to have fallen on a rock Lying scorched in the heat of the mid day sun Then I would have vanished into thin air Evaporating into non existence I could have fallen into a muddy puddle Or perhaps into a filthy drainage To be contaminated with the sewage Or be the breeding ground of worms and bugs But fortunately for me I happened to fall into fecund soil Where there lay in wait a few seeds Hankering for the cool touch of moisture Arid souls desperately thirsting for water, They ****** the molecules within me. As their dry kernel got soaked and puffed, Slowly they sprouted and grew into life. Absorbing again the drops that came after me They, into towering trees eventually grew Some touching heaven’s azure heights And giving shade and shelter to many Now as I see them crested with flowers And bearing clusters of luscious fruits I feel I am there in each leaf and bud And my essence flows through every vein! As a teacher, what more is needed for me To feel contented in life?

The Song of a Raindrop
There are no bells, but they are there lining the streets, palms outstretched women on their knees between cream-colored petals of orchids carelessly blooming by the drainage ditch their scrubbed feet free of rice paddy mud with palm fronds overhead in their hands, cut butter and fruit for the monks that file past in smart orange robes if you were here, you would watch them with me you would peel lychee fruits for breakfast at this hour the people are wide awake and the day is struggling to keep up somewhere behind the early clouds the sun is winking over the trees morning birds never seem to sing here where the rain has been falling for days

Thai Aubade
Memphis got real high in the 50's. Those honeycomb bathroom floors decided to become streets them city kids got the buy bug knocking at their knees. Problem is: They never dream. Teachers just learning to write using pens filled with interrupting ink telephone poles gossiping about the trees, they hated their branches—always loosing their leaves office administrators on Section 8 Housing while the vacant houses are out on the streets. People swarming the sewers forgetting: a bomb shelter is no home while drainage floods the alleys. If you could see this place with your own eyes and not the ones you bought at the drug store you would wish you were blind.

A Bomb Shelter Is No Home
Sweltering insurgencies of electric power chords Tribal reverberations of skin-stretched drum boards Rolling and filling; syncopating the noise Of the tit-less toys The dick-less boys Enraptured in the music The anthem Of invidious phantoms My eyes hurt inside and I want to pull them out and Scrape out the gunk and rust that’s behind my self-indulgent perseverance so I can cry for the first time in years… Wrapping my hands around his slender torso Licking away the paint, the dripping ooze; more so Than hastening my ****** and mordant urges To bite what emerges And my mouth purges The obelisk from underneath The iron-pierced jester The voracious molester My hand tightens as I grip his throat tighter and I want to squeeze until his eyes pop from his sockets and laugh until I puke against the walls, watching the ****** fluids mix like an execrable marinara sauce… I turned thirty while still being sixteen The vivid beauty of the world was only in dreams But none of mine, none that I can recall Many years have passed since I took the oral fall Where no one saw Intransigent need to live For the snake in my veins hungered for more So many had their way until I was limp and sore. Defamatory fingers of mire and strife Probing and stretching My insides And devilishly comforting With limpid ambrosia That’s infected by bilious worms and maggots covered in icing And fruit Amatory gauntlets fastened and secured over Handless limbs that retract under matriculated frictions That fracture, crack, morph, distort Emphasize, marginalize Rationalize, desensitize Acts of *********** evasion, moral drainage; Pieces, bits, chunks, sections, portions, servings; Arms, legs, eyes, tongues, fingers, toes, Love, lust, infatuation Adoration Boys, girls, women, men, Angels, demons, monsters, humans Creators, gods, titans, divas All extended and limited from the minds that worship Sanctify, mesmerize, glorify, rectify While humans eat more, love more, **** more Than the angels, demons, monsters, and titans We ponder and cherish Nevermore, for me Ever lore, for all Crows surround And chaos found.

People say I'm obsessive, and I wholeheartedly agree. I'd die for a favorite artist, and I reread stories I like until I hate them. I force myself to love every song performed by "my band", to a point where I'm not entirely sure which of their tunes actually earned their place in my heart. It brings to mind a modern-Hebrew term, "protektzia". It can be translated as social leverage, or "pull". Protektzia is when you are related to the administrator of an elite high school, or when you're friendly with the secretary of a sought-after doctor. It's as if songs walk up to me and say, "hey, I know I'm not that great, but I was written by so-and-so!" All that changes when old Depression drops by. Suddenly, things I cared so much for are meaningless. It's like quarreling with a close friend. Although, I don't hate my former faves so much as scorn them, for being silly enough to exist. Why does depression do this to me? Because depression is the drainage of passion. As a cow needs to be milked and a dripping air-conditioner needs a bucket, what are obsessions if not an outlet for the passion contained in the heart? But neither are necessary when the cow is dead and the AC off. Thankfully, depression to me is a mood rather than a condition, and so I host frequent reunions with my beloved idols. You are all invited!

Real Opinions Taken From Local Psychiatrist and Doctor
The doorknob to the closet full of my skeletons is made of funny-bone But there are days when honesty tugs a little too roughly and I realize this isn't all that funny now Is it? As a writer You learn presentation is key In the bend of language I create this man I want you to believe me to be And so I tell you these stories like they are jokes Like they are no big deal Like the first time I got drunk was with my friend's mom who was a known child molester She tried to order us **** But couldn't work the cable Or my friends and I used to travel our city via the water drainage system Near the mall We got lost once and while standing in ankle high water we saw at least 20 homeless people sleeping on pallets We called that place *** City We had to get directions back out There's a possibilty I have been an accessory to ****** Around the time in my life when I learned How not to dwell My body was a wishbone My father meant to break But every beating left me the better half I find so much of it funny My brother's most recent suicide attempt My mother's My father's Alzheimer's He once chased after our mailman naked Asking him about some letter from some woman I have never met before I find laughter and beauty in the bend of language When this chest becomes a broken radiator and my heart grows cold The metaphor mutates Campfire Come here I am lonely and I have a story to tell you

This Closet These Stories
This wild night, gathering the washing as if it were flowers animal vines twisting over the line and slapping my face lightly, soundless merriment in the gesticulations of shirtsleeves, I recall out of my joy a night of misery walking in the dark and the wind over broken earth, halfmade foundations and unfinished drainage trenches and the spaced-out circles of glaring light marking streets that were to be walking with you but so far from you, and now alone in October's first decision towards winter, so close to you-- my arms full of playful rebellious linen, a freighter going down-river two blocks away, outward bound, the green wolf-eyes of the Harborside Terminal glittering on the Jersey shore, and a train somewhere under ground bringing you towards me to our new living-place from which we can see a river and its traffic (the Hudson and the hidden river, who can say which it is we see, we see something of both. Or who can say the crippled broom-vendor yesterday, who passed just as we needed a new broom, was not one of the Hidden Ones?) Crates of fruit are unloading across the street on the cobbles, and a brazier flaring to warm the men and burn trash. He wished us luck when we bought the broom. But not luck brought us here. By design clean air and cold wind polish the river lights, by design we are to live now in a new place.

From the Roof
The screeching noise on the pouch marked with evil twisted eyes pawns so dark and painful watching on, phasing on trying to deliver depressive storms turns torn with thorns others taken off from the throne for his nerves never ever rests and his mind a clogged drainage for there is always time to stop to give it up and let life live for there is always time to slide to leave all the burdens on a bridge for there is always time to grow to sink in the ever glowing circles the doves have a disturbing coo as their coldness distributes the celestial night gets kidnapped his footsteps stride in a torment bang crashing the black box in pieces punching for a breath as pressure rises until the dawn brings the sunrise wiping all the daunting scares erasing all of the vengeful tears Celebrating life as it should be

4.Declarations on a window sill (series)
Scribbles on a yellow notepad, this ink won't last Letting sweat dry from a long walk, half way there I didn't notice it on my first passing, or my second Third time is the charm they say, don't they? Now I sit in this scummy drainage ditch, writing A tree, growing from a pile of waste concrete Dumped carelessly by rough, tired, hands Green leaves adorn it, this oddity, only a sapling Like a flower on the peak of Mount Everest Or an ice cube in the middle of the Gobi This is not so grand, this urban contradiction Some day it will be as tall as me, maybe taller Stretching its limbs, eroding its base Praising sun rays through photosynthesis Pushing down roots through man made constructions Reclaiming the soil from which all life springs & returns

We take a mains water supply and proper drainage for granted now, but not so long ago they were new things, and not everybody had them. My old boss told me about the time they turned up for work at a cottage where a woman lived alone, just in time to see her empty her **** *** out of the bedroom window onto the tiles of the lean-to. Half way through the morning she asked if they would like a glass of home-made lemonade, and dipped a jug into the water **** saying " I like to use soft water. " Having noticed that the lean-to tiles emptied into the water **** they found themselves in a slightly awkward position. When the woman appeared proudly offering the full glasses of lemonade, my old boss said  " I think I heard someone at the front door. " Off she scurried and the lemonade was quickly disposed of in the flower bed.

The lemonade incident
To hell with maintaining a fire just so faces could be seen. I danced on the embers extinguishing little stars and I scribbled in my notes and waited for that one girl to shut up about Twitter and Halloween costumes so I could hear— the fog dragging its tongue up the valley. Finally she began to realize the contest she was losing, took the quiet advice of myself and the wind and went to go tuck herself into the tent, into the safety of ceiling. But, you and I opted to be coyotes on the hillside. I took the trail away from our sleeping counterparts, and flayed you on the dirt where I stripped you of your fur, howling to the fog and plowing valleys in your flesh, your legs grew into roots, and wove length by longer length ‘round all the sturdy angles, the anchors of my hips and you, oh you, you would **** the marrow from my bone. And when we lay out, raw and steaming knees bleeding from the drainage ditch, a gnawing fades out, falls to dreaming, we, peeling off a well-known itch. Then we play a game with satellites Where bouncing mirrors reflect our minds And laugh when the reflections never fit. I gather up my skin, step one foot in and stumble when the tightness traps my leg, You pin up your ******* to please our sleeping guests that wouldn’t take to anything irregular. On the upward hike ten million lights, ten million lives herded on the table of L.A. A Serengeti of fire, a mass migration; mammoths marching, tusks dipped in flame Sitting around campfires once taught vocal apes to rhyme but a million conversations bleaches each the other white and now a million electric campfires bleaches L.A.’s lower sky. And though I stomped out ours the ash remains a scar where we had nearly forgot how to speak by choosing to not.

I stirred from a dream-dazed, I saw flashbacks of a knotted silver gleam. From it a figure bent forward. Here, at last alone in the dark the knight or stable boy or creature took his lover's hand and instead of pressing each fingerprint between his palms and reciting how he couldn't breathe in her absence he snatched a dictionary from the nearby shelf and began delivering words beginning incidentally with the letter H. Over and over again until he almost fled from the room in Hopelessness. she was the Hazel in his brewing coffee; the Halo of his prayers Hideous leaked from the page and he Hiccuped. Reminded suddenly of her behavior silent, sleepless nights came forth and smothered his speech. Anger rose and each private grief was spit into the crease of her hairline. it oozed into the tears between her eyes, splashed onto her sweaty, reaching arms. drenched, choking in fever, she waited until it settled between the ridge of both ears. they said nothing he couldn't look at her- she couldn't stop staring after a couple minutes he walked away and she fell like raindrops into the pinched, center drain

drainage
Behind the youth room, sitting on the pavement, I think of past times. I sit quietly and submerse my mind in the memories… And I wonder, if I leave, will I ever come back and do this again? Feel the sweet nostalgia? Will I tell my kids about these memories? Will I tell them about the ones that haunt me as well? The ones I wish I could forget? I think I will. I wish my parents had emphasized on the horrific things those memories do to you. Weeds overrun Ashleigh’s and my old meeting place. Our drainage grate where we told secrets have been overtaken by bushes. “My chest hurts a lot today.” “And when I look back, I see you waving” -Grizzly Bear, Fix it

One could might hypothesize That the tears would have Drained more than The veins drawing out Of the confines of the muscle Pumping sweltering anger On such a transportation Of creating a new home Out of one recognized for three years. The stacks upon stacks Of emotional drainage After the physical had worn out From problem after inconvenience After incompetency. A departure I wrote an outline for Before I stood at the border Of goodbyes, I quickly threw out. The itch and discomfort, The aching and drainage The constant questions in my mind Throughout the entire time Divorced me from the clouds That I foresaw above us Hugging goodbyes. The storm was in the lies That made me hurt To see such discomfort in your eyes. Here’s to the storm’s dispersion, No good deed can split the coming tidal wave.

Drained
Quite a draining journey traveling through this drainage tunnel groping my way through the disorienting darkness arms of lifelessness reach out from the walls constantly tugging at my shirt it's my health that they hurt when I try to run they grab and stun forcing me to buy movement at the price of energy they hold tokens in their hands inscribed with the drainage brand like the hair from the drain in my sink or the phlegm drained from my sinuses I wade through the **** of stomach minuses moving through a drainage tunnel death funnel aches develop in my feet as well as my back I can't handle the heat or how the inside is black I start walking slower and slower as the ceiling gets lower and lower the backbreaking pressure makes my height lesser so I crawl through the filth of all this drainage I built the hands that hold me down are now my only company their frustrating grabbing now feels like a lulling caress coaxing me to stay in this tunnel all other voices are muddled because of the drainage in my ear blocking communication with fear a wall of wax that won't collapse creates an axe to cut off my head from suffering dread wondering when this tunnel will end because there's no light to be found in this tunnel I crawl down gagged and bound from the hands all around grabbing at my brain to push it down the drain.
