"eyepatch" poems
Calabunga as go off shooting bad guys or good guys as long as I get my money. Eating chimichanga's in my Honda that I "borrowed" for awhile. Anti-hero that breaks the fourth wall, because that's my style. Shoot shoot, bang bang, kapow is this kungpow chicken. Oh you thought I was talking about fighting, haha, that's funny. Where are the hunny's, with all this money, you think they'd be on me. Slip zip I can be freaky with whips, go on trips, have insanity fits. Business is business, marvel universe, I killed them all; just saying. If you didn't know the name, it is deadpool, original rip off, yeah I don't care about haters because they are going to hate. Death stroke can't even get a date, with that ugly eyepatch, he couldn't beat me on his best day.

If I was fine I wouldn't be going to the hospital 2 or 3 times a week,
If I was fine I wouldn't be going to physiotherapy,
If I was fine I wouldn't have hearing loss,
If I was fine I wouldn't have to wear on eyepatch every night,
If I was fine I would be able to concentrate for longer,
If I was fine my memory wouldn't let me down,
If I was fine it wouldn't take me twice as long to write work for college as it used to,
If I was fine tears wouldn't flow from just one eye,
If I was fine I wouldn't be going to rehabilitation,
If I was fine I would be living life like I used to but I'm not.
Stop saying I'm fine.

I don't know
If I could ever
Make you understand
But I can paint a picture clearly
My parents
The doctors
All made a desperate attempt
To save my right eye
Only 6 years old
And I was already
Doomed to go blind
I was not dyslexic
But I wrote backwards
I could see
Out of my eye
But I had to accept at a young age
That I would never see
Perfectly
Later on
I realized
I will never accept
Going blind
In my right eye
My sight fades
As my vision deteriorates
With each passing day
Sometimes
I can't feel my eye
I have to hold out an arm
As to avoid running into things
It's so embarrassing
When I was Young
Kids made fun of me
Because I wore an eyepatch
It was like a bandaid
At night
My mom would tear it off
And I would cry myself to sleep
In pain
Because my skin came off with it
And my nerves were on fire
The doctors said
I'm too old now
I will never see out of that eye
Ever again
I couldn't help
But fight the tears
This diagnose felt terminal
After all the hard years
I still can not accept
That I will never see again
Going through life
With a blind side
I was never meant to fit in

Gordon Ramsay decided to pay a visit to Mel's Diner.
When he criticized Mel's food, Mel gave him a shiner.
Now Mel wears an eyepatch because Ramsay jabbed him in the eye with a fork.
He hated Mel's beef and had to have his stomach pumped when he ate Mel's pork.
Ramsay didn't like the waitresses so he told Mel that they had to go.
After years of faithful service, Mel fired Alice, Vera and Flo.
Flo was so angry that she was chomping at the bit.
She told Mel and Gordon Ramsay to kiss her grits.
Ramsay finally had to give up on Mel because his food is so terrible.
Ramsay's job is to help restaurants but he can't perform miracles.

Three years old, I saw you
brown strands of dandruff
laced with stone eyes and
threaded lips; my hands
squeezed your body against
my chest, and I wondered
why you wouldn’t hug back.
A powdered stain from sobs resided
in your chest, I built a
house of blankets and counted bruises
and soothed my crying legs
and wondered why you wouldn’t hug back.
I pulled needles from my brain
and sewed his face to yours.
The knife slammed through your gut
and tore bits of cotton from its crevasse;
I clasped my teeth around your eye
and yanked it out and apologized
and asked if you could hug back.
I looked at the eyepatch, at your
syrup colored body scarred in cotton,
and resting by the driveway on
garbage day. I watched you
suffocate in plastic as the truck
yanked its load down the street. I felt
her lips press against my hair
as she asked me why
I wouldn’t hug back.

Bless me father for I have sinned.
My last confession was two lifetimes ago.
The pontif is in place.
White smoke.Black smoke
Ritualistic joke.
To err is human,to forgive is devine.
Father silk sash once diddled a friend o mine.
Absoulute power corrupts absolutely ?
Absolutely.
Now.
Carry on.
Eyepatch in place.
Fall from grace. Never.
Go my son. And sin no. More.
Get a life.
Get a wife.
Get real.

(ix)
at a therapy session
for those
unable
to dream
I am handcuffed
to my mother
whose imaginary
lover
has lice
a baby born with a wig
rattles on
about sleep
death’s eyepatch
(x)
on these bikes these boys are beautiful
/ passing men under spell of god, the order
maybe dissolved
of the bent
cigarette
/ I will not miss art
five-thousand fathers
to burn
a fish
but ease, but hunger
a girl putting all her pain in a turtle
or in anything
lifted
from the hood
of her sister’s
coat
/ a firecracker
read
by a bone
(xi)
what a ghost knows about giving birth
powers on
a mechanical bull
father says there is nothing
like it
in Ohio
this giving
god
to a jack-in-the-box
there is a word my mom makes
from a word
she can’t
/ orbituary
/ brings it all
home
(xii)
the human dream
god’s attempt at a short story
the animal
works
miracles
/ the elephant
in its ruin
takes up
for whale
yeah, it rains here
rains
glue
adult diapers
are fishhook
rare…
/ tell your sister
nothing happened
to mine
(xiii)
imagine how long god must’ve been left alone to be named after the first person whose name he said. how hungry the mother to swallow hair. how bored her baby to remember. how small the television that spitballed hell. hidden the horse to keep its church. black the water to transport fish.
(xiv)
the black eye
given
to the moth-catcher’s
most attractive
child…
what a woman predicts
becomes false
subtraction
the plus side
of trauma
her mother’s
babied
past

tell them they are nothing more than the lot the dream surrenders. that gender is god’s eyepatch. child abuse has its own race. that dead or alive, god has never been sick. to stop acting as if they were born tomorrow.

The turtle dreams of strangulation in a green emptiness
A star is the graverobber of god
I texted the writers not all of them
Writing is sometimes being drunk while putting a mouse back together in a mountain
We can kiss here
is an eyepatch
for your moon
tattoo
I don’t know why anyone would want to see anything
What if his son
stayed put

this eastern european chick always sqauts next to me in an alley
at like 12:03 at night when i'm smoking a ciggarette
and it always makes me uncomfortable
but they have no familiarity with american spacial barriors or common neuroses.
and i'll say something like ''
hey''
and she'll nod and say something back in
polish but proceed to stare at her phone.
and i edge away about 2 inches
and she'll scoot ever closer.
and she doesn't find me attractive because i dress in a black poncho and wear an eyepatch with spikes on it.
then i'll flick the **** away and stomp it in the dirt and she keeps scooting closer
and closer
and closer
and closer
to something
until she
dissapears completely in the shadow that overhangs the streetway littered with bums
and fresh cut lemongrass
while wolfs howl in the rolling hills
