"establishments" poems
The word, defining, muzzles; the drawn line Ousts mistier peers and thrives, murderous, In establishments which imagined lines Can only haunt. Sturdy as potatoes, Stones, without conscience, word and line endure, Given an inch. Not that they're gross (although Afterthought often would have them alter To delicacy, to poise) but that they Shortchange me continuously: whether More or other, they still dissatisfy. Unpoemed, unpictured, the potato Bunches its knobby browns on a vastly Superior page; the blunt stone also.

Poems, Potatoes
We are watching your every move in the airports of america like the stock market every day. We are telling you that this is the way you should talk about other cultures because we are the thought police. We are telling you that we will close your fun establishments early because we want to change the culture. Yes folks Big Brother is watching. We are demanding you buy into the TSA agenda of taking away your privacy at airports. We are demanding you sacrifice freedom because 9/11 was our way of starting the New World Order Yes folks big brother is watching your moves.

Big Brother
*In memory of, and with respect to the victims of the 2011 terrorist acts in Norway. As the weather resembles, one remembers...* Perhaps if you went to my school, You'd have gotten beaten up for your egocentricity Long before it grew to such deranged preportions. As misplaced as the runes you carved into Glock and rifle; You'd have been not only estranged, but broken. Disarmed decades before detonation. Alas. A distorted berserker you ploughed through Establishments and hearts; an armed teenager fuelled on Video games, soft candy and steroids. Pity the nation that nurses such an unpoetic national enemy. We forgot your name and face, as you never knew ours. The symbol we chose was an ocean of roses, Like torches held to our love unharmed. Norwegian leap year two-thousand-eleven; Only twenty-two days in July.

Norwegian Leap Year
the homeless are ******** in the streets, well some of them are the homeless have been ******** in the streets a lot lately when they are not getting scatological on the streets of seattle they are conjuring the other images of themselves, because there is always so much more to this story as they sit on the sidewalk and/or in entrances of shops, restaurants, and other commercial establishments throwing empty beer cans in the street at the people walking past they say seattle is going to be the next san francisco because that is what tech is, nothing new forgotten already done ideas redone same price tags same coast line same **** in the streets they must have thought something better was here, waiting for them when they rode into town from other towns housing, more drugs, a new life in these streets that they **** in not sure what they heard their tents under the over pass their trash upon the hill overlooking the highway their tents always have a highway view their trash too i should be that afraid of my own life of what tomorrow will be oversharing in a voice that is not my own miss jean brodie in **** city style

Joan Armatrading Songs Called Down To Zero
In the Beginning, there was only The Divine Song; The vibration of which gave birth to the ether. The ether coalesced And begat the Great Evil. It grew, and grew, and grew Greater still; The Evil wanted to be God so it denied us free-will. The Divine, being sublime, decided not to Fight, For the Love that is ALL prevented the exercise of might. The Evil appeared to overtake the Light. Until The Divine whispered the words: You shall NOT surely die! T'was the antidote for the Original Lie. His plan foiled, The Great Evil grew Angry And he cursed all of Humanity for insulting his vanity. The Divine could allow this, as it is his nature. He still loved the Evil, it was his creation. There was but one rule: You may not deny them their Free-Will! You may control the prophets. You may tell them you are I. You may command them to do whatever you wish. You may even send MY son there to DIE! You may command them to write down your words, To worship you most high. You may set up establishments all over the globe. It will only be more of your lies. No matter how you torture them on Earth, They will NOT surely die!

When Black is White (The Greatest Lie!)
Traditionalism is what they follow, Prehistoric is how they live, Caring none about real human beings! They depend on human protection, Yet they pray the lifeless idols & establishments, Statues & religion they call them and waste money on them. They would do their own important work, Tell me to better stop writing these blasphemous poems, Praying, remembering the lord & idol-worshiping is all they care about. People like them won't donate directly to the poor, They say that they put some money in the places of worship, Idols - their idols is who they live for and survive by. My telling this to my countrymen or anybody in the world is vain, They would still go to on or more places of worships, Think that it is not idol worshiping and again not serve the needy directly. They can only criticize me for writing blasphemous words of pain, They would even fight with or **** me if they got hold of me, But they won't stop idol-worshiping and start serving the poor directly themselves. A Messiah calls the idol-worshipers, To avoid going to places of worship, To come and serve the real world, To realize that what you are losing, To help you realize the value of humanity, To make you realize the value of the real world. If you're not scared of change then join me in this new religion, Here we don't worry about God/Ishwar/Bhagwan/Rabb, But we do things that make The Power Happy, Do social service and cleaning their houses, Help the needy monetarily/practically, Instead of just donating somewhere, Shun donations to the places of worship, Go to the needy personally or parcel them happiness, Make sure that the courier service/other establishment you use is 100% genuine. Avoid those agencies who are supposedly in one of the common names of The Power, Hire a company/firm to actually make your donations reach the needy, It'll be very helpful for the humanity which is prime & real, Try this by whatever methods you find genuine, You'll feel yourself elated & calm, Take my word, Seriously.

Oh! How the Winds of Time blow! Gently nurturing a tiny spark Into a Roaring Inferno. Whether it be Love, Passion, Revolution, or Dreams, The Winds of Time met them when they began And whisked them to the Highest Heights! Oh! How the Winds of Time blow! Fiercely attacking Eternal Establishments 'Til they are nought but dust. Whether it be Love, Contentment, Stability, or Success, The Winds of Time met them at their Highest Heights And tore them down to their ignoble end! Oh! How the Winds of Time blow! Fickle and Changing and Completely Unpredictable. Oh! How the Winds of Time blow!

The Winds of Time
Read between the lines running theme running in and out and inbetween moments in my life. Taunting me is Miss Mystery and her sweet moments of ecstacy carry me to questions of implied imagery. The space between each line I write and read; each line I wait on, drive on; each line I listen between; each line spoken to and from me- Endless misunderstanding undertaking me. Undertaken me! We never say We never sing what we really mean. We never reach a destination on these lines driven between. The answer is hiding for her benefit. The answer has Nothing to do with you Nothing to do with me Us, barbaric human beings being  arrogant with the lines we speak. Arrogance thriving between lines paved with housing establishments while the space between mountain ranges sits vibrant, patient. All made of sunshine All made of peace of mind All made between the thin line of atmosphere. I actively disrupt her. Mindlessly disregarding the space between lines. I act so possessively towards this life of mine. Yet, observant I try to be. Silent I try to be. And I try to read between the lines my mind project before my eyes. My eyes: with lines protruding from all sides, when I'm the least bit pleased. Oh, least bit of knowledge I've gained from these meditative rants that my subconscious recalls only when there are no designated lines to write between. Lack of lines let's my subconscious free. Selfish as each human being; each human being free I wait more or less patiently, for someone to read between my worn eye-lines correctly. Englightenment I wait to want me or, wait to watch me. I wait for the nameless to see me. Desire's undertaking me, Undertaken me! I never say, I never sing, what I really mean. Desire turned nameless me needy. Me, the Nameless human being Nameless between lines of Nameless Humans being free, being greedy.

You’ll find them in all such establishments, (Be they graceful small-town former Victorian homes, Or cinderblock edifices mindful of some campus multi-faith center) Sitting in the basement, cheek-to-jowl With moldering burial records and banking statements, Yellowed newspaper clippings, faded prayer cards Small squared-off boxes hastily tabbed together, Ostensibly temporary containers which have acquired An unintended and wholly unwelcome permanence. The whys and wherefores of their subterranean placement A mixed bag of foible and outright foolishness: Unresolvable squabbles concerning possession and burial, Families that skipped out on the bill, leaving mom behind, Cases of outright not giving a good-goddamn. And so they remain, in lieu of repatriation and redemption, To sit for something akin to perpetuity in some cases (Members of the profession resolute in their respect For the dignity of life, Though their sincerity enjoys less unanimity) While others wait for mass burial Once legal niceties have been satisfied, While still others, in care of firms not so scrupulous About crossing their t’s and dotting their i’s, Are flung, albeit somewhat surreptitiously, out the back door, The remains to take flight if the grass is dry and the wind is brisk, Otherwise to be left to the vagaries Of curious birds and creped soles.

the unclaimed
Shelter me like I'm "homeless"....... Not be a use I don't have an address..... Merely because if home houses your heart.... There is a missing poster on the back of your ***** bottle.... Like the mistake on the bark where I once carved " true love".... Happiness became of parking lot no occupied by strangers Like titles reflect the hierarchy of spots closest to your heart Methamphetamine now occupies the spot reserved for mom, dad and best friend But time is a magician pulling white rabbits from memories ...... Where your the only audience members and you can only ask "how?"..... But like tricks fade into logic i always see the illusion And memories become anger against the fraudulent belief in "time" Grief is not a one night event where disbelief could refund your happiness.... And forgive ushers who now seem more like drug dealers.... Because the best seat they could offer only got you closer to regret Life is the greatest notice pinned on a corkboard in shady establishments Where the small print cannot be read at a passing glance So later on in the alley where you self medicate..... The dumpster contains the poster you so blindly believed..... Now you see the possible outcome to the " greatest show on earth"..... Professionals on a closed course...... trained professionals should not be attempted at home..... And I guess like I already said if my heart is "home"..... Then as an amateur on life's stage I'll leave actors like happiness, success and bliss to wow people at a great expense..... But like a fool I invested every hope I saved into them..... Now I'm bankrupt and homeless staring from the alley between life and death... But the best part about next door is its free.... And must be worth the cost... no one ever seems to come out.....

New England is triumphant, as she maintains the historical roots of North America. Rebellions were concocted in order to inform and subdue those who were impressionable. It is unfortunate that truth was concealed by presumed greatness, and that the problem continues. Political agendas prevail in the West in the name of consumerism, and the Great Architect of the Universe continues to unravel the delusion of a seemingly greater design. The obelisk will bow to cosmological establishments, and the flag of unity will no longer be recognised. I will now say goodbye to the President and his constituency.

The Myth of Treason
Every now and again, I think about where my dad might be, and what he might be doing at the very moment in which I think of him. “No dignity, no duty,” I remember my Grandfather saying. We, meaning my mom and I, think that his current dwelling is south, somewhere in Arizona. Maybe alone, maybe with a recent girlfriend who hasn’t realized how two-faced he is yet. It went something like this: when I was the little old age of three, he decided to leave me, my mom, and my sister. He said we were an expense not worth retaining. Having us around couldn’t pay back the debt he owed from his failing business proposition, the invention of a hybrid eating utensil that combined a fork, spoon, and knife together to increase the amount of table room at restaurants and finer consumption establishments for large parities of impatient patrons. His “would-be” investors claimed they already had the “spork” and that hybrid eating utensils were a thing of the past. He cursed the world, anointing the words **** you, I'll make it... I'll make it big somewhere else," and simply was gone ever since. “Your father is a very bad man,” My mother explained to my watering eye. “I hereby excommunicate him from this family. We are going to love each other in this house.” “What’s ex-chum-oon-eh-cating mean?” I asked diligently, wiping a tear. “It’s what the Christian Church does to people who have been naughty. You’ll learn all about those religious doctrines in school, when you’re older. We’ll talk about it then little Bugaboo.” And I was off to bed.

*Feeling fairly good tonight, a note to Bukowski to drink again.* I lost the hours of nine, ten and one to the wine, bought but days before in a rush out the door; it was wet and I was late to a meeting with myself in a basement where windows wait upstairs, the casement a see-through hole to everything outside, to everything I want to be- - it's a silent show when these days happen, usually conjured up from empty pockets and the need to be nowhere important, safety curtains fall in front of shops: they are not libraries for browsing they are establishments for purchasing-in- nine and ten came back to me, one still escapes though, lost to the palm of a waitress taking the money.

A NOTE TO BUKOWSKI
Free. Unrestricted. Unlimited. The ability to overcome the stares and glares of judgment and see far ahead of and beyond them. Further than their ignorant minds would ever care to see. Free like black smoke rising from a stuffy shack on the side of a dirt road. The freedom that the most free of souls long for. If Birds were as free they would fly in all directions but the set route of migration. If paintings were as free they would outgrow the sides of their frames and become their full forms, limbs and smiles included. If the Nile was as free it would flow like the ocean it looks up to, unshaped by the selfish lips of the forest. If the Atlantic was as free, waves would wave and remain in mid-air for as long as they wish before hunching their backs to embrace the Inner Sea. If words were as free, they would reach far beyond the limits of a four cornered space and whisper into the ears of men across oceans. If you and I were as free, colours would not be afraid to be vibrant. Sound would not be afraid to scream. If you and I were as free, our arms would always praise the vast Sky. Our teeth would always greet the sun. And even in the worst of pain, our freedom would allow us to let go of our misery. If we were as free, beauty would no longer hide within the unbreakable walls of a mere bracket. If we were as free, borders and bridges that fought for centuries to keep us apart would crumble. If you and I were as free, establishments would not be established for the good of greed, but rather for the good of man. If you and I were as free, we would fly like magic. We would take over the nation as a nation. If you and I were as free, stereotypes and prejudices alike would cease to exist. We would live fully, even through the journey of death. If you and I were FREE, we would be. If the world was FREE, we would always be.

The feeling doesn't come around very often An old friend familiar footwise to different pastures fitting the fantasy New experiences constructing strong someone's admirable psychology, fresh beauteous landscapes making up the ends of days that aren't quite taken for granted, but nonetheless become more and more common As life becomes such an obvious thing to engage with, to fill the mind with an intangible, unnecessary to reconstruct explicability, defining reality Where that ******* smirk just works, and is taken for granted Forgive me for being jealous As austerity and holding back defines our culture in recent times, suits and faces for hating, numbers and reports spurring disparagement, and sentiments of dream and realisation eroded and rained down with flu Optimism becoming uphill, a difficult sentiment to come naturally, I try nonetheless when such metaphysical and intense psychedelia sits uncomfortably in the back of the mind Fuck's sake Britain give me a break But um.. That girl, that guy, those people, that moment in all those minds that grows from a simple glimpse of a day dream into an empowering determination, realised more and more through presences and establishments from the outside world Those are the opportunities I'm looking for, amongst solidarity in a fluid and ****** up world As I steal that smirk from that smug self involved person in the paradise of personality To see into space and realise how my reflection looks good amongst such fantastical potential realisations Yeah.. I should go to sleep, but a bit of clarity as to my direction, a little a bit of mirror monologue giving a bit of 'you're all right', well it isn't **** all to complain about.

ask no questions
I hear you in the music I see you in designs I smell you in pints I taste you in ******* I feel you everywhere I go. I hear you In all the funky jazz beats I feel you In the rhythm Even when I'm dancing with other men You never leave my side Our bodies Electrified Our souls Intertwined. Got me mesmerized All wrapped up In your rap tunes You know how they make me feel Like I'm floating On the *** vibes Totally lost in our world You understand My art My love My *** They're all the same thing, you know. I see you In passing In stores In movies In products In fine dining establishments This is when I know I know you When I can see you in the designs In clothing In an artist's painting In a pair of shoes The colors and shapes in a tie All the art I see I see you. I smell you In spliffs Rolled in the finest tobacco Packed exquisitely by you Late nights after ***   You'd roll one up for us I'd feel like a ******* queen In your arms But now I smell you in the morning When the coffee's being made Never have I ever Woken up by your side Without the boldness of your coffee Greeting me With your love I taste you In every whiskey cocktail In every bartenders ice cubes In every microbrew I taste you mostly in the IPA But some nights I taste you in porters And chocolate beers Most of the time Your flavor shows up In the finest French restaurants That we used to adore I'd always have my red wine And you the whiskey. We were in love With each other's art And that's when I figured out That's all life is, is Sharing each other's love Through art *** And mystery You are my love My past My present And my future Even when you are not in my present Or my future You will always be with me I will always hear you In the music See you In paintings Smell you In spliffs Taste you In whiskey and love you Like I've never loved before.

By daylight, they sold burgers & chips, the atmosphere a bit chill, touristy. But at night, things heated up. The dance floor rocked, the tiny rooms rolled. They sold something tastier than meat and potatoes. Many a ****** lost their pesos to such festivities.

Mendoza (Tiny Eating Establishments)
One must take charge of his or her own life Someone once wrote that Life, like marbles block is given to all, However, everybody doesn’t know how to layered such blocks Even if they read the manuals on life and survival skills With careful observation, it seem that the local women spirit cracks so easily on the small Island of Bim as the men moves on to other women’s Leaving many on suicidal watch I visited my old friends, on the island as time permits And nothing seem to change, they older folks Weakness still shows: they lives seem to be on a standstill, The little island girl in me Grieves within for them Over the years, I have grown into a stronger woman I demand respect from my friends, especially the men Its more women and not enough men to fulfill Their ****** appetites, so life on the island become a *** war, Infidelity is higher than ever, where the flying fish is plentiful whereas, some of the women seem so pitiful. Older men with younger women The middle-aged women either have to join a church Or unfortunately, lined the walls of the dance hall, or pubs While looking for love in all the wrong places, The nights slowly moves into the wean hours of the morning while the Barskeepers promotes the beer three for ten dollars Snip snaps sounds is heard throughout their establishments It seems more like humiliation than enjoyment In the meantime broken hearts merges all over the place The only patronage that seem to be having a time of their lives was the tourists from abroad, who show signs of unsteady gaits; but were having a wonderful time On the Island of Bim The barbecues grills filterers golden spark, the music Entices the air the salted breeze, balm our lips even Merging with the taste of the Bank beers, and it was all well on the island for that short period. However, with all my finding and frustration, nothing Can beat cold, cold coconut water or a refreshing Bank Beer

I love you As a friend. No, no that isn’t right. See that’s what i say To hide how i feel. When i say i love you I mean I love you. With no establishments, No walls. See i love you As the moon Loves the stars. There is them, There is us. And there is you. I love you.

Well this is it
What distinct dysfunction Braided with wet, sickly kisses It's amazing how they betray Every sense of apprehension Like a cracked, over baked Homemade cookie Inviting on the surface With burnt underbelly So the noon hour finds me Seeking sweetness from establishments Particularly named to suggest A better reality lies in their arms The rain can't let up now It's fallen too strong, too long Perhaps my tale follows suit Let me contemplate over coffee, twelve sugars My greed comes through the back I recognize the sleight! Singling it out without mercy Generosity dressed in trickery On this day, and those to come I might stop to hold my tongue To let the reminder settle & sink Sing never for the sake of rewards

Are you Sleeping All Day?
By Arcassin Burnham Didn't have any loyal people since day one, but i was loyal to me, tell me how can a black man leave behind his son? somebody tell me, after all the ******** I've ever been through, nobody ever aided me, The quote on quote friends that use to have my back, never talked me, so what hell you want? No don't try to talk to me now, talking all out the side of your neck man i bet you feel proud, there ain't no savior that could save you from the hate i afflict, you hate me but there are bigger things , like massacres and corrupt establishments, Ain't no time to be having fits, Ain't no time to be taking trips, Ain't no time to be wondering when your insecure mouth will take a ****** spit, the man in the clouds never speak, And most of the time the clouds are poisoned, I guess that must be the reason, The devil's feces in the airwaves ain't no time for breathing.

Not A Cloud In The Sky
some other days our twenties dry like dry leaves no cold establishments would take our souls hey I just lost my job let’s drink with what’s left of my paycheck I’d carry us a little bit higher than the rusty rooftops if not, we’ll carry on as dreamers as the belligerents failures of the previous generation into the four corners of this small apartment it’s a gathering of the minds it’s all there is for us other than what wings that covers us in our home, in the suburbs, in our comfort shelters I get so tired of letting people know that I just want to take back their idea of me and of course, anyone of you who’ll lend me the phrase “we’ll figure it out in the morning” will be much appreciated no need to force our depression-embodied bodies to work we can bathe in alcohol lose another day loosen up lay down get laid get high wake up late and despise the industry.. I thanked December way too early now it has taken things way too seriously.

I thanked December way too early
Dad I loved you. Your the only father I knew. It should have been just us two. Our memories are so few. You showed me I could trust a tomcat or a puppy. To pet him & make a buddy. I still can't cook. To find the right food. Caravores are selfish, sick, & rude. My vegan species is divided. Separate dwellings unspecified are hided. Recipes unconfided. What is for lunch? Besides rootbeer, cola, & fruit punch? Is there no vegan chefs left? Not enough vegan restaurants here. Nothing close by or near. To become extinct is something I fear. Too many taverns with beer. Vegan establishments this town & city needs to build. In malls & shopping centers to be filled. Vegans don't know where to look. I want to write & publish a poetry book. "Innocence Unattended" is my best work.
