Are you listening to the whispers? are you feeling scandalised? Harbouring ***** little feelings that you wanna sanitise? Walk through the swinging doors of a catholic franchise Ask em for that sailors knot a black-n-white man-ties To the pairs of prying eyes his practical rebuke Is a marital disguise and a tactical puke Throw the garter ‘mongst the pigeons, the voluntary victims... Whose single minds are filled with matrimonial conviction Paired up poets pool their miseries; the price of art Each miserable synergy - the sum of its parts Did he swear that he’d hold you ever dear to his heart? To love and to cherish til your knees did part? If she wants you like her father and you want her like your mother What the hell are you gonna do when you’re bored of one another? There she stands on ceremony all silk and sinew While the vow evicted from his Adam’s apple continues To stutter as the panic builds like stifled farts Til it splutters its devotions on her lady parts Her eyes sentence you to sit though your neck-hairs stand She’s the ****** ****** written in the lines on your palm Old scores squeeze sideways through her gritted teeth And he takes on the debt of every promise she believed Hide the love-bites in a polo-neck, your love life in a Rolodex When the ***** hand of happen-stance runs its evil down your keks Cos like the indelible digits on your bathroom mirror Love is for life until you dress it with liquor If she wants you like her father and you want her like your mother What the hell are you gonna do when you’re bored of one another? We are but experiments, seven billion shades of wrong The clever ones stay celibate, the others pass it on That’s an easy line to settle-on in present company Single-riders in the peloton to pick up the debris

(You Will in Your) Holy Matrimony

If (WO)men are the ones that suffer an exacerbated amount Of the violence, the **** the abuse, and everything that comes with and from struggle and alienation; it is because of their femininity that men at times have come to believe that their contributions soften institutions. That at times throughout history neither capitalism, neoliberalism nor revolutionary experiments like that of Cuba have placed femininity as compatible with progress or resolution. In which case femininity must be hidden, silenced, or displaced with no purpose or place to belong. Thus everyone closely associated with this femininity such as homosexuals, transgendered (WO)men, and "effeminate" males, (ignoring, subverting and negating the lesbian identity because of their gender) have come to be marginalized by a structural system of exclusion. (WO)men carrying the highest burden for originating the associative distinction Homosexuals battling to find love by constantly having to assert their masculinity Transgendered (Wo)men afraid of expressing their through identity. Lesbians fighting to legitimize their own identity separate from the directives ascribed onto them by virtue of being born women. Males who are labeled effeminate because of their sympathy toward those who struggle and are alienated. And every other individual who refuses to deliver to give a marker to their identity and a degree to their femininity. Hold fast in your femininity and embrace the rancor that society grants you As a homosexual I speak with you brother and sister, not for you Realize that our self-ascribed degrees of femininity and identity are as revolutionary and transformative, and thus necessary, as those of Che Guevara, Mohammed Ali, Harriet Tubman, or the Dali Lama. That because we have decided to embrace our degrees of femininity, problematic to any movement, at one point or another, we have inadvertently decided to align our selves with those who are alienated the most by the systems in which they live. So that in this way we must make our struggles deliberate and political. Let our degrees of femininity become legitimizing banners of solidarity for anyone who suffers in any corner of the world.

Revolutionary Solidarity (Embracing Our Femininity)

Freedom At Kannyakumari “The destiny of India is molded in her class-rooms” Kothari had no confusion; no vision on the fusion- of the East and the West, as Swami Vivekananda’s vision, “The comingling of the East and the West will dawn a new Era”.

Peach salsa Has that tangy taste Between sweet and spicy Burning tongues naughtily but nicely. Peach salsa Is the quiet librarian of dips Unassuming until the bun comes undone And blink of an eye she’s a firecracker in bed. Peach salsa Tastes a lot like you And our Sunday afternoons Experiments with papaya and pineapples Tossed in with tomatoes and crying onions The perfect recipe for a little change and a lot of disaster.

everything dries up this time of year driving into the wind I cried for four hours but the desert air drank the water from my face, from my lips: brittle sacks, experiments in evaporation candy bar wrappers blow around the backseat courtesy of these broken windows-- impractically high speeds I don't know whose trash this is I've been driving with a ghost shouting at it, in the vacant passenger seat all the things I'd never spoken (for I swore you could read eyes) but illiterate you saw only reflected stars trying to find yourself in the Pleiades all you knew of love was mythology all I knew-- diesel gas, freon, points on maps you read nothing in my vacant looks I saw nothing in your ancient texts a translation problem. little less.

Brave - bold- bonny young are bloom here! They have dream, desire and determination! Preparing for peruse and practice, Be desperate to perform in perfection! ***** But we the elders try to eliminate them In the name of enormity, efficiency and effectiveness; Enable to create ground for their experiments We are envious; don’t want to change our thought for them! **** We fail to remember, their dreams are also our dream! Because it’s grown up on the soil What we prepare through our toil! They grown up, as we prepare the soil! ****** But, brave, bold and bonny young are struggling Struggling to build their path to achieve their goal! Through a street which is full of snag, snobbery and sabotage But they are poignant, they are pioneer....... They look forward....! ****** Vacate the road for them now Let them blooms further To carry our seeds further!

Endeavour of brave-bold-bonny
My complex brain keeps me thinking deeply For hours it keeps spitting **** perpetually. I think outside the box and write always, look at things in 3D and cross the streets sideways. This is the universe at work in another way. Maybe I'm being rewarded, if I may, For the countless hours put into thinking About a fraction of mankind's problems. And the thoughts about seeking answers to questions, That will someday bring a resolution to our problems, For the universal betterment and the good of mankind. Maybe I'm a product of some social and scientific Or intellectual experiments or the combination of all three. All that was yesterday, when I was something else If I was ever made a saint then for my past good deeds, I have no recollection of what transpired down those dark Corridors of the part of the multiverse I came from. So, if I ever did some positive things in my past life, Kudos to that mass or ball of energy I once was. Today, maybe I'm just one idiot with a laptop Who has time to write things some people may deem obnoxious, senseless and otherwise incomprehensible? Maybe I'm an outlet for deep thoughts And a vessel of wisdom for some people. Through perseverance and the little time, I have on hand, I have helped save lotta folks some precious time In coming to acknowledge the reality of our time. Thus, making it easier for them to see, That things are messed up and that despite this, hope looms!

The Idiot With Time And A Laptop
i am afraid we have begun to dissociate, unable to dissolve, I dissipate we lavish emotion, laugh laudably and cry with our larynx ripped out of our throats i just need a little attention 'cause it's midday and the midwife has a migraine, with spoiled milk and clogged drains, laundry a mile-long with tenuous children tense with grimace and gray we believe uncertainty for the hopeless and expectations for the great the subtle hum followed by slithering smirks followed by snarls and sneers and weird sober social experiments, followed by small town dramas and big time hypocrites.

Are humans inherently evil? Does it go right to the core? Do we always need to prove ourselves? Do we need to settle the score? I watched a documentary With people doing experiments On other people just like them Callous with their detriments The lower class The prisoners The foreigners By practitioners And now we have this information Torture, surgery, chemical weaponry Some classified, some out to view Is it their duty of citizenry To share that information with me? To tell me how and when and why To share results of tests gone by? Do I even want to know? Do not let them die in vain Maybe I should share the pain (maybe you should share it too) To learn To see And   NOT to do

In the Name of Science
The insane live forever, lust lawlessly over all things conceived fascinating to the validity and gluttony of the mind. Brain feasters we live to strive, exist to be, all things so mundane to our gluttony, we hunger for something on border lines, the limits of human mumbling over morality. Cease your everest squirming, your infantile homage bearing, you find so viscous an evil, so vile a fiend in us the broken chains. Godless we sing the marching banter of forlorn free will, we have no conscience to bear, no after thought found alive anywhere. The psychopath lurches out about child like smiles, lives a second agenda basis before any infant experiments sin upon innocence. Born divine this mutant knows free will without restriction, closer to a limitless ever enveloping power than any mortal. Breed me a man slewing monster, a shape shifting skeleton reaper, those that fear this untouchable being, this godless singularity, fear the very will we wish to contort, constrain, control, but a demon answers only to that of it’s own greed, no man may quiet its roaring, its heartless contortioning. It’s an angel without a heart beat, a cadaver with a taste for its own flesh, make me a monster manufactured under every roof, we’ve got too much human to feel.

Godless Heredity
As I strolled  down Beaker Street A neon sign flashed in front of me That said "Only Serious Poets Need Apply" (Blink) "Need Apply" (Blink) "Need Apply" So it was I thought to myself I can think of nobody else As serious a poet as I I looked to the right and the left Feeling pretty confident about myself And decided to take a gander inside The room it was totally dark In the corner was the tiniest of sparks I did a stately poetic stroll in that direction Feeling I might have made a mistake This thought occurred a little too late But of course this whole scene might just be window dressing A voice said we don't need a poet at all Just someone dumb and gullible That's the moment in my pants I started messing Turns out it was a mad scientist With a masters degree in craziness What were his dastardly plans I could only be guessing I was grabbed by a couple of ugly thugs Who highly dislike deodorant and mouthwash Tied up and flown off to the smallest of islands Where they did unspeakable experiments on me In the first, second, and third degree All because to insanity they took a liking When it was they were finally done With what those nut jobs consider good fun Don't know how many walls they had me climbing Daily now I plan my escape I only hope that I'm not too late When the opportunity arrives I hope I don't blow it I find it so hard to believe That this all has happened to little ole me And Why? Because of me being such a serious poet

"Only Serious Poet's Need Apply"
THE LAST BREADTH OF EARTH What a human race, That destroys its own living place, Looking just for a minute comfort, They flew the Earth to distress, They cut the trees which are like its lifeline, They still use the plastic which is leading it to death time, They still increase the population which leads water to dry, They still waste the water which causes many farmers to die, They try to find new planet to live, But they don't think to save Earth from being killed, They don't try to stop nuclear experiments, But they only try to do sustainable developments, They increase the global warming like population, Even they blamed nature and god for its increasing destruction, They killed all the humanity of them, They only worked to earn name and fame, Their activities started destroying mankind, Then some people kneked that they are destroying human kind, Even they are the most intelligent animals, They behaved like dull animals, Humans behaved like most greedy animals, They behaved like each others pradetor, Love for others died in humans, Desire to help others is being rear to hear, They gave a new birth to distruction, Then the nature started to make destruction, Water crisis were only starring, Then an Earthquake came to give a notice, Other scenes are in front of humans, If they won't stop then nature will show a big misbehavior, This is the time to refresh the Earth, This is the time to save the Earth.

The last breath of Earth
She had this obsession with the sea, I didn't understand. She spent all summer there, laying in the sand. I never liked the beach. Or at least I never liked the effect it had on her; how she counted every calorie so she could wear a bikini, how her heart-shaped sunglasses covered her eyes, her stunning eyes. I never fully understood her. Perhaps I should've spent less time trying to figure her out and more time by her side. She wasn't one of my experiments, she used to clarify that all the time. And maybe she was right. Now that she's gone there's nothing left to try to understand.

Numerous number systems beyond the real: complex numbers, octonions, omnions which can eat whole black       holes.

Why has the experimentalism of the avant-garde, which has failed in       the novel, succeeded in poetry? Because poetry is always experimental; while the novel, on       the contrary, by its nature, cannot be . . . which is to say that experimentalism is synonymous       with poetry, and that applied to the novel, it leads simply to the substitution of the novel with       poetry. --Alberto Moravia Man made the town, Fibonacci inflated zero to be the wheel around which the universe turns and language is the soul walking and talking quietly or going angrily to war.

Your heart beat races Nearly fast as mine Experiments are fun It’s time to see behind Let’s lose the excess Get back to being bare Turn white into red We make such a pair Lay yourself across Exposed to the air Take a look at the floor Wait for your share I caress what you have Then pull back slow Gentle but firm Here comes the blow Be loud or be quiet I hope that you like it Now that you’re done It’s my turn to try it

this past weekend I tried to have *** with you and you said you were not ready and that that was ridiculous because i am the girl that you've been going insane about for the last year a whole ******* year that is incredible i think that is absolutely lovely all i was trying to do was make you happy He told me that being intimate and close to someone was the only way to achieve such a thing at least it was implied numerous times and one of the only reasons he gave for breaking up with me not good enough in the sack well **** you i am an insecure mess and i need someone to guide me through the deflowering process we don't all study **** you inconsiderate pig i loved you and trusted you and you took me in when i was very confused and fragile and you manipulated that because you think it's interesting to do social experiments on girls who seem odd it's not fair although i do thank you for having the courtesy of saying I love you first i was so afraid that would never happen and now this isn't even a poem it's a diary rant and i am once again a baby in diapers ******** my pants waiting for you to come pick me up again and tell me everythings ok i still love you remember?

Happy Birthday Elizabeth Squires
Fleshy is such a nasty word. Like ****** ****** is a nasty word. It's also a nasty action, but it's one of those rare, rare cases where, where the word is as bad as the action (biologically speaking). And if you combine the two: Fleshy ****** it's almost double the nasty. It's like math. Except gross (biologically speaking). What's a biologically and how does it speak? Maybe we want our science to speak for us because we've run out of thoughts. Maybe we need our experiments to show to us what we're afraid to depict ourselves. Our brains are driven toward creativity, while our world is driven toward tangibility (biologically speaking). Maybe we're just left with facts because opinions are scarce, and we're starving, clawing away at the morsels of Nature instead of the meat. biologically speaking.

Figuratively, Metaphorically
Bio chemical creation tracing the steps of evolution through the fetus The blood trail seeps into flaccid lakes of genocide Bottleneck effect on government induced laboratory experiments Questioning the interrogated under kaleidoscopic examination Believe me when I tell you to leave me alone Reconstructing DNA strands of Darwin’s transgression Molding to the perplexity of the world

Ontogeny Recapitulates Philanthropy
First, garlic. Dig your nails into its flaking paper, pink and beige like magnolia petals parched in the gutter. Peel back the skin and crush the weighted bud with the heel of your hand on your favourite knife. It has been waiting for this. The thick expectent smell sits up on the chopping board, looks up at you like an old friend. It has burrowed itself into the skin of your hands and lingers there it will not be washed away, instead it quietly clings to your fingers, flavouring letters on your keyboard, the edge of the banister, every light switch in the house. The pulped clove is scattered into a scraped frying pan, your grandmother's; it was never non-stick. The stuck parts were always the best bit, and so it goes, the oil and creamy crumbs find the same spots, engineered over forty years. Some were accidents. All were happy. Yours were ambition-led experiments. The thumbs in the brown recipe book were never your thumbs, the dried-out sedimentary edges were never your mishaps but still it is a bible of sorts, providing answers but never asking questions. Later after dinner when everything is cleared away and nobody can tell that you had been cooking at all bring your fingertips to your nose and inhale the remaining relic of your meal, a letter to yourself, the end notes enduring but faint now, lastly lastly garlic.

Classicism's Obliteration
They say chemistry is a science Exact measures Experiments that can go wrong You and I Were a failed experiment but before we broke there were fireworks And I will spend the rest of my life waiting for the same reaction to a different Element
