"dunkin" poems
This is a poem about love and sticking your ***** in a dove. Getting married in a church of Satan. I went to dunkin donuts to get some ******* donuts. A black man yelled at me so loud that it made me *** So I unzipped my pants and put my ding-dong on a table then said "beat that ****** and he started beating himself while smoking a black and mild with a KFC bucket in his arms full of cow turds. (I HATE ******* POETRY) Poetry is the language of love. No wonder it's full of ******** Lust is where it's at when I finger bang your uncle's grandpa's cat. Randomness is fun especially when you do crack. I still ******* hate poetry. You can **** my 20 foot purple headed yogurt slinger full of tar. I am Bill Clinton and I approve this message.

In a sunny spot resides a new bench. It would be a perfect place to sit among the flowers with children sitting at your feet teaching them all that you know about animals about the great outdoors from a time when they were experienced in person not on the Discovery Channel not on TV You could read a book to them there too like Wild Animals I Have Known by Ernest Thompson Seaton the naturalist. You could sit quietly in the sunshine and nurse an unfortunate animal back to health like a Gecko or turtle or opossum You could just sit your Dunkin Doughnuts iced coffee in your hand and take it all in or let it all out your choice. But you never will do any of these things on this bench in the sunny spot among the plants and flowers and smooth river rocks painted in your honor by the children to whom you are missed because the bench is dedicated with your name on it in memory of you.

The Bench
... on the other side  :P Money don't grow any greener The mean streets are getting meaner Come and get me pretty please When you find some grow on trees! Wake up! Smell the Dunkin Donuts! We're in the Twilight Zone like robots... Every cloud is silver lined Even one that's in your mind And when you find fate's shut the door You'll find a hatchway... ... in the floor!

So excuse me while I dump out my Starbucks in the fridge and paper shred my valued customer card. Let me hate coffee for you, Because you're the only person I've been willing to hate coffee for in three years. Those other boys could never tear me from the coffee shop counter, I would latch on like a koala to a tree limb, Thirsting for that satisfying and hypnotizing liquid. Let me loath coffee for you, Because I haven't been so excited about loathing coffee in three years. Its tantalizing aromatics will woo me no more. The other men in my life have no affect on my love affair with these beans, Their scents loop around my neck and drag me in, The craving becomes irrefutable, My bones creak with each body convulgence In response to the grinders on the espresso machines. Please let me get you a drink, Orange juice? Milk? Gatorade? I swear, I'll keep coffee as far away as possible at all times, Avoiding every Dunkin' Donuts while driving, Every quaint mom-and-pop coffee shop while walking, And flight attendants will never dare bring a coffee *** on their food cart when we fly. I won't ***** this up with the **** coffee, Because perhaps it was coffee the last three times that left things in rancid rot, The filters from yesterday's shift never disposed of. Let's go anywhere but a coffee shop together, Let's go everywhere but a coffee shop forever. And I promise, I won't even try and sneak a latte around you, But can I please keep my chai tea?

The fearless ones are fanning out into the woods. Others are huddled in smartly constructed camouflaged blinds. These self styled eco-warriors brave the cold and the discomforts of inclement weather. They keep a watchful eye over the stale remains of Dunkin Donuts, bagels and bacon grease they cleverly scattered outside their deadly bivouac. These bold ones eagerly finger the barrels of their high powered rifles, palming the smooth wooden stocks with warm naked hands. They itch to squeeze the trigger but discipline and fortitude inform the vigilance of these sentinels of sustainability. They philosophically muse about restorative balance and the paradox of killing in order to survive. Another day has broken over the New Jersey Highlands. The hunt for bear is on. Let the mammalian cleansing begin. jbm Oakland 12/6/10 Music Suggestion: Radiohead, Hunting Bears

Mammalian Cleansing
— for the American Mustang Strung up on one leg, bled dry while alive, unloaded off trailers crammed full of the crippled and blind —mares giving birth on three legs, foals trampled by stallions, and a wave of fear hovering over tossing manes like the sea after Moby **** surfaced for the first time. Last year, 135,000 horses died — rounded up in hundreds and sent off to slaughter like feeder goldfish, three stops from Canada or Cabo, displaced from plains once revered for their livelihood. In 1969, Vonnegut wrote, “And so it goes…” In 2061, our children will ask about the wild horses who used to live in their backyards as they catch the last fireflies and bottle them up in jars, flickering and dying like tired bulbs giving up on electricity — 2015 sees Henderson, Nevada grasses paying tribute to power-plant-lines and a suburb built on Tralfamadore fiction: house-mounds and picket fences caging domesticated dogs, curb-lined streets and caution signs, billboard warnings of humanity’s fixation with progression, combined like coffee with an overabundance of half-and-half and too much sugar — only 99 cents at Dunkin down a little ways, and home to the dreamers who forget the word freedom.

Slaughterhouse 2015
While the sun is sleeping and the morning dj's too, The radio news anchor is in to work by three It's not because we're busy, or we're special..no, no , no It's because the station trusts us, and besides...we have the key!! We're on the road, at Dunkin' Donuts, while the day olds are still fresh We're in before the DJ's Because we don't live like Phil Lesh By the time the DJ's wander in We've read more, than they will say We've even cued up the morning intro We know the songs they all will play We have our room for research Actually, two newspapers and a phone We're not quite Walter Cronkite But, hey...throw us a bone The life of a radio anchor Is not one that's all rosy We do it 'cause we love it It's not just because we're nosy We get the freshest donuts, hottest coffee and the key And did I neglect to mention, first one in gets donuts free? The DJ's do their concerts, party hard, are full of soul And twice a week you'll find them, down at Skippy's Pool and Bowl We're not all like Les Nessman Although, there is  a part of me That would love to have a station Like old W K R P The life of the news anchor Starts out daily in the dark We dig around for stories And make up others for a lark We are in line for more promotions We're the one that the boss sees Did I mention, we get donuts And that the boss gives us the key?

The Radio News Anchor
It was my cousin's wedding reception, And I wore some creamy lacey dress That had to be approved of by my mother Before I shoved it in a bulging duffel bag to endure the Six hours of Dunkin Donuts bathroom stops And that weird stop-and-go traffic that makes me Feel like the color green. As I stood at the brim of the dance floor, Trying to ignore the half-drunk staggering relatives of mine, I thought about whether it's Polite to pry your eight inch Torture-o-thon heels From your swollen toes Before anyone else bothers. There was a boy on the other end of the disco lights, A silhouette that I knew to be slightly more muscular than the last time I'd seen it. Just about my age, or maybe eight months older if you had to ask him, Which I had about thirteen years earlier With some sand in the crotch of My Gymboree bathing suit. I tried my best not to look over. The lights mostly blinded me, But I still wished to glance at him to see how straight his teeth were and how his acne had cleared up Because of Neutrogena SkinID Plus Or something. I could tell that he was looking at me, At the too short lacey dress And my straight teeth And my peachy skin And I wanted so badly to peek over. I wanted him to ask me to dance, Please oh God ask me to dance. (Of course he didn't.) He was a shy kid, even at seventeen. He didn't say a word to me all night, Even though we'd gone to the beach together Since I was in Huggies.

Huggies
fifteen hundred Starbucks shuttered by a maintenance miscue. How will I face this morning without their bitter brew. Their water filter system was due for an overhaul. Now this forced decaffeination has me climbing up the walls. Where's my choc o-mocha latte, topped with whipped cream cooled with skim? Without those extra calories I'll soon be down a chin. I miss my blonde barrista, Jill. and her great good morning smile. Rakeesh at Dunkin Donuts' lacks her figure and her style. I'm reduced to getting coffee from a roadside hot dog stand. why he doesn't have free WI-fi I'm at a loss to understand.

Unchained Malady
On rainy days I look up poems set in Seattle, then look back at the rain set against the window I imagine the water was carried here from the shores of their bay across Pike Place, through Belltown, in buckets they use to carry Pacific salmon off fishing boats, or in lidded Styrofoam bowls used to take out clam chowder I practice walking in this manner, sans umbrella, through the parking lot of a South Florida strip mall. When I reach the 24-hour Dunkin Donuts, past the laundromat and the check cashing store, I channel my inner Seattleite: poised in wet socks, unrushed as the sips they take from their mugs when its **** pouring outside I renounce sugary accoutrements and have what they're having: Black coffee with a splash of rain, A balance perfected on their slanted hill streets that breed more poets per capita than anywhere else in the country Vegas can have its mirages in the desert San Francisco, its gold bridge I think I should just have this coffee, and this rainy day as the poem it is.

Raining Coffee
Did you see it? That brother can do it oh yes indeed he can, like a young trout at dusk, in a sweet still lake, like a pouncing cheetah, from many yards out, like Wille May in the outfield, for a soaring high ball, like the most monstrous of great whites rising from the dark depths & exploding out of the ocean seal prey all clenched in its merciless jaws, like a cobra after transfixing its quietened mark, like the most glorious of lithe pole vaulters, like the most dandy of sweet young gymnasts, like the great bull Magic Johnson springing over all & slam dunkin' that rocketed ball as the whole court is helpless & the people rock & its more points on that board, that brother did it just tore that Southern Hate right on out of their White Pride hands, brother just plain did it.

Poem for the brother who leapt ...
may araw ang mga patay e paano naman ang mga buhay? hindi na pala uso ang nangangaluluwa treat or trick na ang "in" ngayon. tara dalawin natin ang mga mahal nating namayapa na kahit ang totoo hindi na sila mabubuhay pa. ang sementeryo na tahanan ng mga bangkay pag araw ng mga patay nagiging pugad ito ng mga lasenggo, mandurukot, imbi't tarantado at parang mall na rin ito ngayon kasi kumpleto: may Dunkin, Mcdo, Jollibee at Pizza Hut na rin. wag kalilimutan ang bulaklak at kandila linis lapida, papintura pati na ang paglilipat ng mga buto pero tandaan lahat ng ito may bayad sabi nila mahirap at mayaman lahat mamamatay din pero kahit sa huling hantungan hindi sila magkapantay kasi may nasa apartment at may nasa memorial lawn.

Araw Ng Mga Patay
The morning after I killed myself, I woke up I walked up the creaky stairs and made myself coffee My favorite Dunkin Donuts cup, filled to the top with ice, coffee left out from the night before, and chocolate milk I wiped the coffee off the counter and filled the dishwasher I added salt to my avocado with eggs and toast I sluggishly made my bed The morning after I killed myself, I fell in love Not with the girl I talk to everyday on my phone Or the grocer who always smiled extra long at me I fell in love with my mother as she sat in my room, Looking through each notebook, looking for all the signs Dusting off the rainbow flag I never took out of it's packaging I fell in love with my brother, who worked desperately at the construction site, Making new things as he tried to forget I wasn’t there to say “How was work?" When he comes home I fell in love with my niece, Texting my friends what happened, Crying in the same room we laughed and had sleepovers in I watched the family dogs, Who pointed their nose when squirrels run past I saw the empty space in Stella’s eyes When she jumped on my bed to snuggle and there was nothing under the covers I saw the coldness in Maple's heart as she searched and searched my room for me How Mama cuddled into the blankets, waiting for me I stood by as she protected my Mom during walks, just as she used to do for me I picked the purple flowers and some dandelions on the side of the house And put them where I used to sit in the woods The morning after I killed myself, I stayed up all night to watch the sun come up The morning after I killed myself, I went to the morgue and gazed at that body Wondered if death was truly worth it I carefully touched all the scars, all the markings no one ever saw but us I told him about the avocado toast, the friends, the dogs, the woods, and his family I told him about the sunsets and the brother and the warm blankets The morning after I killed myself, I cried and cried

Curled up in the passenger side, my moccasins rested on the edge of the seat. Projecting heat pleaded the piercing winter from under my skin. My chin fell slowly as ash insulated my heart. My lips would part as second-hand soothing soot Grew arms and cradled my soul like the look A newborn baby receives when wrapped in adoration. A suffocation as an indication I was not alone. Strangers. Soaring together for forty-eight hours. Oblivious to dangers our adolescent wings never noticed. Our only focus was on each other. At first, words of conversation refused to be discovered. But all at once we slowly uttered Our pasts until his demons appeared in front of me. Surprised I could still see through the windshield ahead, I did not dread the broken being to my left. Because who was I to judge the stranger Who’d unknowingly love me as if his life depended on it? Have you ever been in love with a Thunderbird? One that flies solely in winter blizzards? Fueled by chain-smoking cigarettes And Dunkin Donut cappuccinos with five sugars. It never once regarded the threat Of driving through life At ninety-five miles per hour. I fell in love at six in the morning, wearing a borrowed jacket. Coated in sleep’s drowsiness, we floated on clouds, Dodging white paper coral trees and buried houses. I fell in love when the world stood still And the snow descended along with our sanity. Somehow a Thunderbird granted me amnesty from myself. As humanity remained asleep, with stealth We drifted through back roads in horrific elegance That jostled my brain until my mind was rewired to my heart And has remained that way since.

One of these days, I'll move out of this place. The Greyness making saving throws at my shadow, but my resolve concrete, and my vision clear, each step away being a decision.  The television will dim, and the sun'll get hotter.  And my skin will be tanner.  And I'll smoke more of everything.  One day we'll be sitting in my backyard, laughing at ourselves, for ever thinking we were "far away from this."  We'll marvel at the greenness of the grass and the blueness of the sky and the anger of the heat and the deception of the trees.  We'll argue about whether thirty can be as big as five can be small.  We'll mix gin with our Newports and ash cigars into Dunkin Brand Styrofoam.  The memories will blur, but the lessons stand steadfast.  One day is often quite a few days away.  Quite a few rounds of poker, about a thousand movies, a couple billion YouTube clips, and at least three unfinished projects.  The slime gets thicker every day, and we're never given the assurance that our boots can take the inevitable torment.  But once in a while, I can think of the future.  I get stuck on tracing the outline you'll have two years from now, coloring it in with shades of pink and red paint, and writing your name over it in grease and alcohol.  Hoping to make the image as permanent as the ringing of someone perpetually calling out for you, reappropriating all the muted spaces in my head. And hearing it shouted, again and again, and seeing it written in places unseen, can somehow make one day seem more like tomorrow.

The Greyness making saving throws at my shadow, but my resolve concrete, and my vision clear, each step away being a decision.  The television will dim, and the sun'll get hotter.  And my skin will be tanner.  And I'll smoke more of everything.  One day we'll be sitting in my backyard, laughing at ourselves, for ever thinking we were "far away from this."  We'll marvel at the greenness of the grass and the blueness of the sky and the anger of the heat and the deception of the trees.  We'll argue about whether thirty can be as big as five can be small.  We'll mix gin with our Newports and ash cigars into Dunkin Brand Styrofoam.  The memories will blur, but the lessons stand steadfast.  One day is often quite a few days away.  Quite a few rounds of poker, about a thousand movies, a couple billion YouTube clips, and at least three unfinished projects.  The slime gets thicker every day, and we're never given the assurance that our boots can take the inevitable torment.  But once in a while, I can think of the future.  I get stuck on tracing the outline you'll have two years from now, coloring it in with shades of pink and red paint, and writing your name over it in grease and alcohol.  Hoping to make the image as permanent as the ringing of someone perpetually calling out for you, reappropriating all the muted spaces in my head. And hearing it shouted, again and again, and seeing it written in places unseen, can somehow make one day seem more like tomorrow.

What is one second on a Monday morning following a night of no sleep in a Dunkin Donuts on some Main Street where I’ll walk with a cigarette for the third time; I think second-hand smoke has been cajoling me, and now I’m awake with nicotine. But what is the difference between a smothered Marlboro light and some nervous lecture on a sad scholarly venture? I cannot pull the smoke vicious into my lungs any more than I can break the vicious stammering circle. And what is one hour of discourse-accompanied indigestion, pacing, and anxiety, if not thirty-six-thousand possible seconds spent in a Dunkin Donuts on Monday mornings with no sleeping? When time is finite and eternal then there is no escaping the monotonous chaos, and we’re thrown about aimlessly, like dice in dimension infinity.

poverty has been a persistent problem all throughout the world for more than one reason. it can be passed down, but in some instances it can be brought upon somebody because of a loss of a job or a mental illness. i almost got emotional when i was listening to/watching the presentation, as i could never imagine living that way. we take so much for granted. knowing we can type this blog post from the comfort of our home on our macbooks or hp laptops is so overlooked because we've been graced with this technology since the beginning of our time. we wouldn't be writing this blog post on our macbooks if we weren't in school, which to us is a necessity. i just spelled necessity wrong, but my imac autocorrected it for me. people living below the poverty line don't have autocorrect to tell them when they've messed something up. they can't go to school to learn how to spell necessity, because they can't afford it. i just drove my bmw to dunkin' donuts to grab some free coffee with an app on my iphone 6 and eat some $1.69 hash browns that my mom gave me some spare change for. if you're below the poverty line, none of that would be in your agenda. an extra 5 dollar bill wouldn't just be laying around to go waste on something you honestly don't need. it could be going towards the food you'll be eating for the next week or a new shirt because you outgrew the single one that you owned previously. i know personally, i get angry when i don't have enough gas in my car to get me somewhere that i honestly don't have to go to, or when i spend the last few dollars of my paycheck on an overpriced drink at Starbucks. i will be the first to admit that i am absolutely, completely, 100% spoiled rotten but i am more than lucky to be able to get an education, have a job that i love and look forward to going to, and have a family that would give me the world if they could. when you have family, you will always make it through. none of us have any idea how good we have it, and i think it's about time we realize how lucky we are to live in the country we do.

an assignment taken way too seriously

Walking through a tunnel, a cage, barbed wire linking. Scream, scream, ache through the air, matching voice to wind as it tosses white pine needles through your hair, around your face, leaves scratching dry pavement, mixing with chinese takeout cartons and Dunkin Donuts straws. Everything seems heavy boots, head, belly, gravity strengthens and your legs strain. They watch you zooming by comfortable and spiteful and angry oblivious, curious. Each breath forces itself shakily from your lungs and your heart beats quick and your arms strain against the bag on your shoulders and all you want to do is RUN run run feel things disappear behind your back feel your hair lift off your neck feel feet hit pavement and muscles flex, feel your body pushing through air and emptiness, pushing forward with a goal to get somewhere. RUN but your boots are too heavy and your eyes weigh you down as they stare at your feet as you walk, as you walk, as you walk.
