You and I
#STICK’EM UP with LIQUID NAILS DANGER ! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE         See Other Caution on Back Panel: I’m hot for you Cowgirl – you’re so flammable my glue-gun starts to melt; my screwdriver starts twisting when you loosen that low-slung belt. You make me feel like laying re-bar in a freshly-poured foundation. Shoot me up with that caulk gun baby – I need you like salvation. Ten and one-half fluid ounces – pull off your top, pop a love-cap in me. Fingerin’ your trigger while the job is gettin’ bigger so take me for a ride to the hardware store, honey, cause I’m seeing red and feeling white on your golden background’s sheer delight.  Hammer me a heart-full, spike me on a cross of blonde, I’m hanging ten, surfing the tube of your magic wand. I’ve been in love ever since I first waterproofed my seamy undersides with you… stand over me in those red, red boots, you Liquid Nails Girl – and from your pure white Stetson let righteousness unfurl. You won the shoot-out long before you even drew, my dear. Lost hope of the Wild West, Final Frontal Feminine Frontier – there’s only one side of you…  your GOOD side.  Just one look and your fearless gaze silences the foes, my blooming prairie rose. YEE – HAW !  Be my angel, be my dream, my valentine rodeo queen, be my bodyguard, my therapist, long & tall & hard & wet – be my Liquid Nails Girl forever and I’ll ride right into your sunset…

Owed to a Caulk Gun
Burnt adolescence, the smell of survivors The satiric regime beholds. White-gloved landlords, picking at grapefruit By what means was this chapter told? By a pigheaded guerilla lad In a trench coat and top hat With an ego to the distance of the sun Alcohol is flammable To the ones with sharpened mandibles For myself, it was all jolly good fun

Burnt Adolescence
*I wish I could be enough for you, I wish I could be your other half I wish I could please you beyond the measure of just friends I wish I could be on your mind like my sad image in your eye and the succulent apple of your eye I wish I could be close to your soul as I'm usually close to you I wish I could touch your heart like I touch your hand I wish you could also tremble in my unnoticed presence I wish the thought of me could make you sick in my absence I wish I was as handsome as he is, with the cash he has I wish I could also show up driving myself in the posh cars I wish I wasn't a tattered fabric with patches of scars I wish I amazed you like a clear night sky filled with stars I really wish so much, I wish you could read my mind and see the million words left buried, the emotions left behind I wish I could be the first and last thought as you sleep and wake I wish the little I have to give was the much you crave to take I wish you could believe when I say these feelings started at hello that I die subduing my passion threatening to overflow as soon as I set eyes on your beautiful breathtaking face you would laugh at how nervous my heart loses pace I wish I had the qualities you are looking out for a height, light skinned, courageous, and quite physically fit but I lack such a physic, those qualities are embedded within the core of my invisible self, a person you can't see I wish you knew that your presence throws me in an ecstasy I wish you knew that I have burning flames of desire fueled by my highly flammable affection which you inspire I wish you could consider someone like me,maybe I would reveal but even if I do you can never give me an opportunity I'd make a double loss, swallowing my pride, that bitter pill you can't bear someone like me... you never will yet I still find myself wishing you could for real albeit I too would never waste your valuable time dragging you through this hell of my boring life I wish I was something more than a lover of rhyme maybe then I'd stand a chance of calling you "Wife" I wish things were different, I wish you could know how much I wish I could be someone deserving of you I do, I wish I could be more*

I Wish I Could Be More
*I wish I could be enough for you, I wish I could be your other half I wish I could please you beyond the measure of just friends I wish I could be on your mind like my sad image in your eye and the succulent apple of your eye I wish I could be close to your soul as I'm usually close to you I wish I could touch your heart like I touch your hand I wish you could also tremble in my unnoticed presence I wish the thought of me could make you sick in my absence I wish I was as handsome as he is, with the cash he has I wish I could also show up driving myself in the posh cars I wish I wasn't a tattered fabric with patches of scars I wish I amazed you like a clear night sky filled with stars I really wish so much, I wish you could read my mind and see the million words left buried, the emotions left behind I wish I could be the first and last thought as you sleep and wake I wish the little I have to give was the much you crave to take I wish you could believe when I say these feelings started at hello that I die subduing my passion threatening to overflow as soon as I set eyes on your beautiful breathtaking face you would laugh at how nervous my heart loses pace I wish I had the qualities you are looking out for a height, light skinned, courageous, and quite physically fit but I lack such a physic, those qualities are embedded within the core of my invisible self, a person you can't see I wish you knew that your presence throws me in an ecstasy I wish you knew that I have burning flames of desire fueled by my highly flammable affection which you inspire I wish you could consider someone like me,maybe I would reveal but even if I do you can never give me an opportunity I'd make a double loss, swallowing my pride, that bitter pill you can't bear someone like me... you never will yet I still find myself wishing you could for real albeit I too would never waste your valuable time dragging you through this hell of my boring life I wish I was something more than a lover of rhyme maybe then I'd stand a chance of calling you "Wife" I wish things were different, I wish you could know how much I wish I could be someone deserving of you I do, I wish I could be more*

I think I can relate you to vinegar. Bitter, noxious, not very useful all alone. I don't think I warned you, but I'm a lot like bleach. Caustic, corrosive, flammable, and absolutely wonderful with the right material. Now, put us together. Were we both so stupid not to realise that vinegar and bleach make toxic chlorine gas?

Toxic
There was once a sheep and a dragon. The dragon loved the sheep very much, more than she loved herself, but the dragon could never express her love because she was afraid she might hurt the sheep. You see, sheep and dragons don't belong together. If the dragon were to breathe fire on the sheep's wool by accident the sheep would die. If the dragon accidentally stepped on her sheep, she would never see his handsome smiling face again, and what good would that be? So the dragon cried and cried. Then there was the sheep. Sheep loved dragon too, but none of his sheep friends thought that he would be cool if he married a dragon. They would make fun of him, call him names and his parents would shun him. The sheep knew that the dragon could hurt him but he wasn't worried, he would wrap himself in something that wasn't flammable and he would be sure never to walk underneath the beautiful dragon. The problem was, the sheep couldn't figure out if he loved his family or Dragon more. So he went to seek help from the wise Turtle. Turtle lived very far from sheep, but sheep thought that the walk was worth it to find out what he should do. When he arrived at Turtle's house, he was invited in for tea and Oreos. After the small snack, Sheep got right to business and he told Turtle his predicament. Turtle laughed and shook his tiny, Turtle head. "My child," Turtle said "If you really loved Dragon, everyone else's thoughts wouldn't be important. Prove to her that she matters." Sheep shook his head. Turtle hadn't solved his problem at all! "You are NO help you crazy old turtle," yelled Sheep. And he stormed out. A day or so later Dragon went to see wise old Turtle too. She told Turtle about how she felt about sheep. Again, the wise (and now crazy) Turtle laughed. He thought that young kids didn't understand true love. "Let go of your insecurities Dragon. Sheep loves you and he accepts everything about you, he loves the fire that you breathe, even though it can burn him sometimes and he loves your big feet even though they can stomp him sometimes." The Dragon went home thinking about what Turtle had told her. A week later Sheep and Dragon went together to see Turtle. Sheep apologized for being so rude before and said that he thought about what Turtle said and realized that he was right. Sheep loved Dragon and that was all that mattered. Dragon blushed red, like the fire she breathed. Turtle turned toward Dragon and asked her what she had learned. Dragon said she learned that even though she may be insecure about some things, she shouldn't let that get in the way of being happy with someone that she loves. Turtle laughed for that last time in this story and said, "Love is a funny thing, sometimes we don't always see what is there" with that being said, Dragon and Sheep ran away to live happily ever after.

Only friendship. You made yourself clear - clear as glass - that it could never be more. But as I too am glass, a small shard of me broke off and shattered. And why did it ignite my spirit to be in your presence, to be enfolded in your warmth Why, why did it set my heart aflame, burn me with such flammable, incendiary envy To see you lust after another, to want far beyond friendship with them Why did that melt me I was already committed to another, no matter if it was a dry, barren whisper of once-existing love or a forest of endless rain It was commitment Yet in spite of this, I continued to melt Melting, right down to my core Where I am just sand Vulnerable, exposed, walked-on sand that could, at any second, be picked up by the wind and taken to another pit of uncertainty But you You dropped the empty attempts And you began giving me your time You showed me the naïveté that I am, and you took my hand and led me through a dark room It was cold, and I was afraid And you could not tell me that "everything would be okay" Because this was real, unfiltered life you were motioning to before me And though it was not a fully comfortable realisation, The cold slowly thawed, from the outsides into my core, my sand And as I thawed, as you too made yourself more vulnerable, I at last began to take shape Perhaps I have a calling Beyond this fragile shell I consistently run back to for shelter, return to when it yearns back for my unearthed body to be protected again But I knew better, That when you molt from your armour, Its purpose has been used up, and it is now just an empty shell, and it is time for that shell to be discarded. And now, in my infantile flesh, I trust that you can be my protector until my new shell can learn to harden I am still unsure today if it has solidified, Because I am focused elsewhere Focused on you My heart's every beat feels light at the remembrance of you My mind's every thought a whirlwind From the dissonance of reaching for you and being tempted to go back under the comfort of my old shell, from the knowledge that these two cannot coexist But my soul, my soul is nearing soundness at last Because with you here, I feel that my honest identity is at last coming to life With you here, Your breezes blow, but I do not fear that I will be carried away Your shore arrives, but I do not fear that I am going to wash away Though it was you who dared grind me down to my initial state of innocent sand, You have sculpted me, even with the uselessness that I've felt I am Shown me my potential And made me a flourishing seashore.

A Valentine's Card dressed With Steve Buscemi's face, photoshopped onto a child, disturbing and hilarious, tattooed on the inside with once-true truths. Flammable. A severed chunk of 35 mm film, cut in a rhombus, or trapeze or whatever, highly flammable. A piece of cloth I brought with me, And the part of the belt I had to cut off so it would fit my skinny *** Flammable, slightly. A dead and dried up leaf, Impaled on the bulletin board, From a tree I don't even know what, That sometimes crinkles with the wind, If she were alive still, She would comment on the Cold thumbtack spear In her abdomen, and Sniff regrets at the sweet, Artificial Vanilla waves below. I keep my wall of flammable memories Above a lit candle, Every day, I wish the flames Would reach a little higher, but Every day, the wax sinks, low, low, lower still.

The Dead Leaf and the Thumbtack
It's the fragmented relationships and the attempts. It's the strength you have to believe is in there, somewhere It's the hope for the future and the bible verses that hold me, and you, together. It's the tears and the shame and the relatable lyrics that hold you, like a warm blanket after hours of terribly poetry in a cold, windowless room, that cradle us in our flammable youth, that extinguish the flames of potential misery, that relay the truth after months of running from just that. I don't want to feel this way anymore. The simple lies are, I don't know what I'm blindfolding myself against. Sense? What for? Who needs to make that? These words are the fragmented seashells alongside the shore of my emotions. As often as you find a sand dollar whole, will my poetry (or lack thereof) appeal to anyone besides the lies personified that reside in my flammable heart.

Another,
intoxicating Pour yourself into me, until you are sweet and I'm on fire. tongue, tied, valentine I am listening, it’s just... (I got distracted) ...you have the most beautiful wrists I’ve ever seen. x restraint I’m not interested in cheap nylon confession. I’d rather unravel a good quality secret- Make a beautiful bond from its thread. Hangman I should warn him: My soul leaks like a sieve. Instead I listen silently to words that steal my breath. You and I You are delicious And I am greedy. You are generous And I am needy. You are experienced And I am learning. You are flammable And I am burning.

little poems
i light matches on non flammable things and start fires i cannot extinguish, i start all consuming love and then tear it apart viciously and tiredly and try to put back the pieces of my heart in this sacred chest at the bottom of wherever my skeleton ends because that is where it belongs, alone and protected you were a cigarette i denied myself the pleasure of smoking you were an old record player that i would dance to by myself at 2 am just because and you were strawberry hill wine in the middle of the park that tasted agonizingly sweet on my tongue and scorched my throat into believing this was happiness i still whisper your name whenever i drive by your house in prayer that i will never see you again, you are still a ghost in the corner of my mind and i have a feeling you will always be (h.l.)

some say im cynical satanical that my minds mechanical diabolical spoken essence erotical detestable jaded imagery hypnotical unstoppable liable to solve the unsolvable while prodigal poets drown in their nautical modules im a criminal a cannibal storming the street like an animal shooting cannonballs through prison walls splattering the generals in bathroom stalls hostil leave you poppin pain pills in the hospital uncontrollable my temper is flammable mumbles illegible choking you with your pentacle leaving onlookers speckled the abominable mental protocols unstoppable the unfeasible constable shooting up the card table willing and able to call your fables and smash apart a label i raise babies in unstable cradles let you bleed out like cracked ladles engorged in unholy wars exploring the corruption of the core deplored uniformed for the clash of the double edge swords taking control of vocal chords a meet of the hordes of the horned misinformed adorned in sunlight trying to shine just 1 line at a time until my life signs decline almost time light and shadow combined Horus and set by hindsight blessed yet to contest to the rest of this mess by melancholy caressed as i arise unrest from the cess of the un confessed blessed

I. Fireman, censor of literature and destroyer of knowledge, with his mighty flamethrower. He loves his work. He loves trouble and strife. He loves fascination with the people next door. Mostly, he loves his hammock. But sleep will be his final unrest. II. A gift for the darkness: reading from the forbidden kept hidden in the air-conditioning duct. The walls within turn on and off like Cora Pearl. His wife listens to far winds and whispers and soap-opera cries, sleep-walking, helped up and down curbs by a husband who might just as well not have been there. They walk on as an extinguished connection. In the flickering of his eyeballs, he dreams of driving recklessly to Dover Beach and drowning her. III. Burning bright. He is burning so brightly. In the factory of mirrors, he takes a hard look. He's a flammable book. And it's a pleasure to burn. "What are you doing?" She asks. "Putting one foot in front of another." He answers.

Long After Midnight
I'm covered from head to toe in resin, acrylics and epoxy, Some pulverized rocks my son gathered from the Chattooga River, Now reduced to a burnt ember dust. I added silicone sludge and a little baking powder as well, And once mixed, this dicey concoction is beautifully toxic, So I waft the air and inhale it. Painting a colorful sunset is too easy, I prefer black and white, So with a wooden board the size of a door, I get to work with my rubber sledgehammer, blowtorch A gallon of poison and flammable spray. The passers by have seen this look in eyes, From The Shining or possibly their preachers, You know, the same look that's a sight to behold. Slamming the hammer down with brute force And purposed abandonment, I paint my sunset and wrangle the stars later. A shower won't do me justice>

I manage my time better than I manage my emotions. Proceed with caution, there might be an explosion, Like I'm made of vapors of Flammable and Combustible Liquids. They say the longest rope has an end. But do not tempt me with rope, Because if it gets too hard, I. Might. Just. Use. It. © Deneka Thomas . All rights reserved

Suicide
Welcome my Princess! Oh Heavens, For the queen of my heart Is about to offer to nature Her complete beauty of Africa, Give her the Kente cloth In its rich, natural and splendid array, And offer her newborn feet with The golden sandals and diamond beads, Behold! There she descends from the Unapproachable eternal flames of the sun, With the divine firmament Fizzling at her flammable tune, See how the precious fragrant branches Of the clouds covers her lovely feet, For the clouds have gathered and there is Nothing more to expect but the storm, Oh yes, I have found a ****** woman, The beauty among the daughters of great men, Whose eyes are as brilliant as the star And as delightful as a sugarcane; Behold, her face is as bright as palm wine; Her hair sleeps like a slender thread, And her stature is as that of a pawpaw tree, She is called Obaahemaa Kabutuwaa And truly she is Rasses Kabutuwaa Whose eyes are those of the faithful dove, Truly, Kabutuwaa whose Gods is like that of bees, Slim, black and full of sweetness, Truly, Kabutuwaa is obedient and wise, Truly, Kabutuwaa for whom All men felt love in their hearts! Come! Oh my unveiled one, And expose thy soft and loamy face, For the nations shall seek and Behold thy enviable eternal beauty, Ah, the proud effeminate shadow of Africa, Please show the angelic face of Thy love to my perturbed soul, For thou art an African ****** indeed. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]

MY ENVIABLE ETERNAL BEAUTY
I don't even have words, For the ways that I don't feel, I am not the waving of the fields. I hold onto songs about the moon, My tides do not swell with her, I am more the darkness in this room, Cold, unmoving, absolute. I am not the motion of your hair, As he runs his fingers through it, I no longer even stare. I Am not the climbing of tree, I do not yearn upward, Is there anything to see? (or be?) I am not the warmness of your breath, Clinging tight to your fingers, And the inside of your chest, I am not the dreams you make, As dragons fly by night, And sparks flow in your wake. I am not the whispers, You feel close to your ears, I am more like distant echoes,

doritos are flammable
for KA There is something in this for both of us. We have chemistry, let's be lab partners. Help me with problems like which would make a better poem: a pandemic, a wolverine, or a broken heart? You know I only chose you because you enjoy my fondling your blond *** as you lean over the Bunsen burner, because we have flammable *** on the periodic table, but this is more serious than calculations or ******* As a poet, I need to access the deeper moaning of reality, but you are a screamer, not a moaner. Let's experiment anyhow. Lift that skirt and let's explore something elemental, make a new molecule, feel the reaction. Help me probe the fundamentals of creation and I may love you, though surely not enough, as we are both non-valent. Even though we may never bond, we are in this together, partner. Lift your beaker to my lips. Outcomes are never certain.

Chemistry Problem
No one told me so i'm telling you i expected grief to feel like sadness but i wasnt told that that it makes your whole body ache from morning until night and even in your sleep and that it makes your hands sting from numbness making buttoning your jeans impossible and that some days clumps of your hair fall out but having a good hair day is the least of your worries and morbid thoughts attack like being ***** slapped upside your head hurting so bad you actually pass out in mid sen-- But it's nothing like the sadness i had expected to feel i've known clinical depression since age 4 and that feeling of curling up in the fetal position waving the white flag of surrender trying to make yourself into the tiniest ball of nothing But grief is a flammable substance and you can feel it as it ignites the flame of your soul it feels like being angry in a righteous way like when jesus knocked over the flea market vendor's tables at the temple like being so ****** off at all of the scales that are inbalanced and it is the fuel that makes you want to correct the injustices of the world and become larger than you are and shower love compassion and truth over evil no one told me that grief feels like this so i'm telling you

Grief is a Flammable Substance
The air is autumn. Smell of yesterday enters the air. Yesterday's furniture. Piles of junk. Flaming ablaze. Flaming amazing. As I said smell the air. Don't stand too close though. No fingers burned. It feels so good. Don't need the heating on. Rely on the bonfire burning bright. To keep me warm for a while tonight. Great excuse to destroy the flammable trash. Only reminder, a pile of ash. Smell of burning. Aged brush wood. A flaming bonfire. So good so refreshing. Fireworks such an expensive waste of hard earned cash. Don't want my wages to go up in a flash. A good bonfire is just so gratifying. November the 5th, smelly fun. Livvi

Its time to rest, My favorite stuff animal on my chest. No matter how old I grow. My favorite stuff animal will help me defeat every foe. I cuddle with its old fabric, No longer new but still seems to be magic. Its stitches now loose, And is stained from some old juice. But I love my stuff animal, Even if he is flammable. He is always there, Waiting to declare, That I shouldn't be scared. Because he in there to protect, To keep me in check, So I wont have a freight, About meeting my worst fears yet. As I know I will be safe, As I lay down and wait. Good dreams will come, With my favorite stuff animal and then some.

My Favorite Stuff Animal
Sunrise was just a red line in the inky void, as Lisa and I reached the harbor decking stairs, but at once, the brazen slash began widening, like a silent, slow motion explosion,   thin, smoky wisps of cloud, like flammable tissue, prismed the stage light ignition. bee-de-deep my phone chirped. It was Peter (my bf). “Hey you,” I pronounced, as Lisa took off her left sneaker and shook it, upside-down.   “How’s the harbor?” Peter asked. I glanced at my watch, it was 5:32 am in New Haven. Peter must be at lunch (in Geneva) and tracking our morning run with the ‘Find My’ app. “Beautiful,” I pronounced, “they’re really putting on a show.” Of course, I meant the universe, the sun, the turns who were already at work, and Long Island Sound. The gulls, perched on whatever, and grousing at each other, obviously haven’t had their coffee. I read that AI had decoded bird talk and on a wire, they chittered, “Move over, you’re in my space.” “Just wanted to say good morning,” Peter confessed, “Good Morning.” “Good morning,” I wished back, “gotta go,” I replied, Lisa had finished de-pebbling her shoe. “Yep,” Peter agreed, “Seee ya,” he quipped. “See ya,” I chuckled, smiling. My watch asked, in my Air Podded ears, “Have you finished your workout?” because I was motionless. I pressed the crown of my watch and slid the phone back in my pocket, our jogg’s only half done. We began our harbor exodus, by turning our backs to the haven. It was already beginning to busy with boats. We slipped on our hats and protective, polarized sunglasses as we began to run directly into the blazing sun. . .

A little slice of the pie I try to consume but I throw it up every time. Bulimic the scenic route I take. No mistake I meant to regurgitate. Choking down lies, smiling like it taste great. Get another helping of the American pie plate. Washed down with whiskey, strong and brown like the strong and brown brothers that scalped heads and used skins for covers. Good morning, America! Ignore the hysteria. Pay attention to the sensations on the surface area Cap'n crunch is more important Captains getting crunched in a 13 year war we started off a hunch. If you pay attention to the news notice they ignore the trues like the flammable water coming from your hose or the fact you can't afford your children's clothes We're buying apps and devices for $1200,maybe, instead of $20 to buy a real ukelele You see, we pay companies to do things because we're conditioned to be to lazy when DIY was the real American dream.
