Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two. Splash water on my face Now I'm presentable enough to the human race, current company probably won't be happy, But I ain't telling her, are you? Shave! You crazed? It is a three day weekend, Every day a July Fourth, Celebrating freedom from the European tyranny, Of shaving smooth  every day! Splash water on my head, count with me, Five brush strokes as you can plainly see Is a classic case of overcompensating In my geling n' hair stylin' Brush my teeth, well, I hope 2 full minutes of rinsing with  CVS Green stuff, mouthwash, will have to suffice. Blast my deodorant both sides, Long and strong, wearin' now My bold blue *** husk of musk, Cause I am a very considerate fellow Who happens to really have stunk. Clean T- shirt and shorts, Yes, clean underwear too, Leaves me a whole minute to write this scribble. My flip flop noises coming down the hallway, Are the butler announcing our joint arrival, Me and my poem. Lest you think this is paean to men Another grand male boast, Be advised this ditty be writty By a man who, while no longer gritty, Just put jelly on his scrambled eggs And ketchup on his toast! Mmmmmmm there might be a poem Lurking in that too...

Three Minute Warning (A True Story)
Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two. Splash water on my face Now I'm presentable enough to the human race, current company probably won't be happy, But I ain't telling her, are you? Shave! You crazed?

Soft melodies of the deep sea echo Moonlight dances on my pretty scales And icy bubbles whirl under my chest Through my slippery hair And down into my lungs to clear the way for overflowing foam Laughter splashes behind my lips as my anticipation rises Waiting for a night of twisted fairy-tales and uncalled for surprises. Shimmering bodies swarm in spirals Grinding in unison with the waves crashing at the surface We're anxious for overflowing foam and hidden treasures Purple light pierces the dark like shards of crystals Casting a ghostly shade on bulbous faces Pressure rises as each wave surges Whirlpools of hot breath suffocate our gills But the sidelines are shallow And stragglers float motionless Hair like seaweed at the nape of his neck Unbuttoned linen soaked and dripping Her hollow eyes glow green Like the jelly orbs of a fish under florescent lights She’s pressed against a boy who has hooks for fins Searching for the parts that are edible Tender, Scale-less, Slippery Nothing wrong with being the catch of the day Right? Bubbles rise and pop as the last melodies drown Schools of us are begging for shiny hooks and bad decisions A handsome boy has been smiling all the while He’s caught in a fisherman’s net Craving salty lips and the spell to make him a man But fisherman don't care for little mermaids With hearts like sea glass and no hidden treasures to steal Sweaty fins splash and cheer The fishbowl shatters Sea glass spills out onto sand We squirm and flop onto land Gasping without air to breathe As our mouths and ***** thoughts dry in the sun Leaving behind fresh meat without mouths to feed. Rainbow confetti was stuck in the grooves of my scales Wet clothes left on the floor of a steamy bathroom Gasping and moaning into tile With the face of a handsome stranger Because this meat shouldn't go to waste And I'm drunken with desperation For overflowing foam, jewels, and shiny hooks But I'm just another fish in the sea Tumbling in the waves with my rainbow confetti scales.

I'm happy one minute And then you flip And so do I One minute I'm in love And rightly so But then you decide to speak You like to take anything That brings us joy And crush it Well, we won't pretend anymore You've lost now It's all over now We aren't under your control You're just going to lose us But we belong here And so I'll fight for them Against you And do what I know to do So while you flip and flop Change your emotions I'll be emotionless Because none of us can stand it Any longer with you Living Bipolar

My birthday comes in a little over 2 weeks and I think when people talk about birthdays, they are secretly talking about status in blocked hours. Somewhere in that 24 hour block, a person was born, and that person was me. .....well Yay I guess. I don't like my birthday. And the reasons for that, are more complicated than you think. When I was 13, I was really into cupcake birthday cakes. I asked for one, every year, for a long time. When I turned 15 and 16, my best friend baked me cupcakes and brought them to school for me, and I shared them with my peers. You see, I considered her my best friend, and I guess that's not enough to be the best friend. It's like unrequited love if you put poisonous platonic friendship in my blood first. When I turned 17, she did baked me my last set of cupcakes, but I no longer had a best friend. So I spent my birthday mentally by myself while my family sang otherwise. And right now, I hate cupcakes, and superhero films because they remind me of her. But saying that is the weakest thing to do, since everything, reminds me of her. I will never admit I loved her, the same way she will shamelessly say she never loved me. I can't hate her, but I can't see her without hating myself. You know age, goes up, the same way sadness, goes down. Pulling you into another 24 hour block just so you can say. "Hey. I made it another day." I will admit that every day without her is another day without cupcakes, and another day without sugar is another day without happiness. And people may have asked me "How can you flip-flop between preferences like you're not the biggest homosexual in the closet." So when I tell people I'm straight, they tell me I'm not allowed to change my mind. I loved her, but she left me and took all of my friends with her. And I thought that real friends wouldn't abandon me, but there is always time to be wrong. By the time my birthday comes, I'll be crying, and she doesn't even remember what day my birthday is on. By the time I read this out loud, I will have been through this birthday, like a person walks through fire. Turning 16 is less about age, then it is about school, and turning 18, is less about the number, and more about becoming an adult. And no amount of adult can neutralize pain. I have accepted the fact that no man will ever really want to marry me. And no Christian, will ever truly want to love me. And if I am wrong, I will have to repeat this lost love forever dragging it out in my life. And if I have kids one day, do you really think... That I'm going to tell everyone if it's a boy or a girl... By making blue or pink... ...cupcakes?

beacon hill pass
(10/13/12) At the beginning of “64” - I packed up my uniform And walked out the door- it was the beginning of The Vietnam war. By August of that same year President Johnson started the draft Under protests and jeers. Then he made it a full scale war And sent our soldiers to Vietnam shores. The Beatniks in Greenwich village With their long hair, beards, and Flip flop sandals - wrote their poetry About this undeclared war, and why Our men were going to those shores. This created a new generation called ‘HIPPIES” The hippie generation was groups of protesters Against everything that they found wrong The draft , the war , pollution And loved to stay high with *** hashish Coke and acid (lsd) which kept them blasted. This also created the “ flower children” Who like the hippies loved to be high And on certain flowers they would fly. But they spoke of loving one another And gave out flowers as a sign of peace Which to the president was a relief. They all started painting this “53 Chevy impala” With the words “ flower power”. Now the “ flower children and hippie movement Was in full swing, and everyone was doing their own thing. They had Greenwich village under their control And not one coffee shop would ever be sold. Every coffee shop had a poetry night And going there was such a delight. Then in AUGUST of “69” The WOODSTOCK festival was on the rise Over half a million people drove to that farmland And set up tents , hammocks, sleeping bags and such And the police found it was much to much So they had no choice but to see it through Because there was nothing else that they could do. The WOODSTOCK festival had become world wide And to this day it still thrives. © L . RAMS

“i haven’t seen her in years,” said the hospital bed, “though i’ve seen many others, who sobbed violently like her, who sunk into me like a young, rusting anchor. who could not get comfortable in one position or one mindset or one truth. i have felt them dig in their heels and try to ache and and fight and scream, just quietly enough not to wake their roommate.” “i remember their shapes,” said the hospital bed, “how their voices rose slowly like a far-off ambulance siren, how their faces fell when they remembered the emergency was right here. i have been kicked, punched, clung to, held on to, as if gravity switched suddenly and they feared yet another aspect of the universe was against them. i’ve seen ***** sheets and i’ve seen clean ones. i’ve seen boys with tattoos on their faces and razor marks on their arms. i’ve seen pain. i’ve seen girls who wouldn’t turn off the lights, girls who couldn’t turn off the lights, girls who had turned a light off once and never wanted to do anything else. i’ve seen pain. i’ve felt love before more often than the lovers thought they loved, more strongly than the fighters thought they could fight. in shaky hands folding down blankets more carefully than they have all week in heads that flop ungracefully onto pillows, securely, fulfilled. in the slow turn of a hospital bracelet around a pale wrist, in large, golden brown hands, inspected through tear-blurred eyes, through scratched glasses, picked up off the floor after discovering force won’t carry a ring of thin plastic as far as you thought. i hear change in whispers, good night, good luck, in hushed acceptance, in ‘yes, i really am here’. in screams that send nurses in panic only to find you were laughing. in numbers, in ‘five hundred milligrams,’ in ‘three gained pounds’, in ‘one more day’. i hear shock, i hear fear, in echoes of parents’ voices, ‘why here? why now?’ i have heard and seen and felt all of them. but she,” continued the hospital bed, “hasn’t been in here in a while. i haven’t heard her whisper to her roommate about what she did ‘that night’, i haven’t seen her sneak away from her pile of pajamas as if she didn’t just hide something there, i haven’t heard her empathize with a pencil sharpener. it’s been so long, it’s hard to imagine,” said the hospital bed, ‘i hardly remember her'. if only the hospital bed knew that she could hardly remember herself from then either, if only it knew she hadn't stopped fighting once she left if only it knew how she felt when they said she only needed to go to therapy every other week. it felt like progress, and it felt like hope, and no one better than a hospital bed could understand that.

The Heist
There are hundreds of stereotypes. In my opinion, the most true one is about cheerleaders. Honestly, every cheerleader I have ever met is a ***** They will tear you down to where you're nothing and you hate yourself. I have had a bad experience with a cheerleader. The reason she got mad at me was because I ACCIDENTALLY stepped on the back of her flip flop. I apologized but she didn't care and gave me a ***** look. Luckily, I have a pretty good friend in that class and he kind of stuck up for me and called her a name. She definitely lived up to that stereotype though. Maybe it's just pointless high school ******** I don't know. I ******* hate her.

Fine living . . . a la carte? Come to the Waldorf-Astoria! LISTEN HUNGRY ONES! Look! See what Vanity Fair says about the new Waldorf-Astoria: "All the luxuries of private home. . . ." Now, won't that be charming when the last flop-house has turned you down this winter? Furthermore: "It is far beyond anything hitherto attempted in the hotel world. . . ." It cost twenty-eight million dollars. The fa- mous Oscar Tschirky is in charge of banqueting. Alexandre Gastaud is chef. It will be a distinguished background for society. So when you've no place else to go, homeless and hungry ones, choose the Waldorf as a background for your rags-- (Or do you still consider the subway after midnight good enough?) ROOMERS Take a room at the new Waldorf, you down-and-outers-- sleepers in charity's flop-houses where God pulls a long face, and you have to pray to get a bed. They serve swell board at the Waldorf-Astoria. Look at the menu, will you: GUMBO CREOLE CRABMEAT IN CASSOLETTE BOILED BRISKET OF BEEF SMALL ONIONS IN CREAM WATERCRESS SALAD PEACH MELBA Have luncheon there this afternoon, all you jobless. Why not? Dine with some of the men and women who got rich off of your labor, who clip coupons with clean white fingers because your hands dug coal, drilled stone, sewed gar- ments, poured steel to let other people draw dividends and live easy. (Or haven't you had enough yet of the soup-lines and the bit- ter bread of charity?) Walk through Peacock Alley tonight before dinner, and get warm, anyway. You've got nothing else to do.

Ban flu, Man flu. Aching head, Bleary eyes, Death lurking, In disguise, Under the bed, What a surprise, **** off Death, I’m going to rise. No I’m not, I flop down, Head cushioned, In eiderdown, In the curtains, Face of a clown, In medication, Senses drown. I’m not dying, I am in a state, Snot and phlegm, I ******* hate, No latent desire, To ********** No appetite, I’m losing weight! I’m getting better, Weak as a lamb, A hot toddy, A wee dram, Man flu is real, Not a sham, Getting better, The **** I am. The fifth day, What a-to-do, So had enough, Of feeling blue, Death lost, So go ***** Getting dressed, I am its true. Man flu, Ban flu. © Paul Chafer 2014

Dear, let me startle you by slinking my hand into your smart, ethical decisions while I touch quite gently ripping to shreds your photon ends. Dear, let me caress your supple virtues and vows until they blow out of proportion merging your interests with mine like the longing of eyes uncanny in its distortion. Dear, let me rip off your clothes as I grip your tight notions ideas slipping carefully into place like a sterile, unflinching blank slate inching towards computed devotion. Dear, let me carry out some foreplay as long as you bend, not break, delightfully stroking the edge of your plate. Dear, let me come so close to your face so close that it becomes blurry. Where are my glasses in all this flurry? Of feelings resembling photo reels on fire shooting flames out the window beyond everything you’ve ever known; beyond anything you desire. Dear, let me kiss you to submission, your brain waves in motion as I twist and slip into them hormones ablaze lighting up for days your synapses recapturing in a binocular haze. Dear, let me flop on top of you like a floppy disk, uploading your lips into my hardrive. Do I make you hard as fire? Slowing burning my hot fingers curling up your robust spine cracking it into chiropractor sublime. Massaging your tired broad shoulders like large sofa ends. Is this keyboard only made for pretend? Dear, let me mind **** you take you and light you brighten your screen uphold and unseen neurons fighting as I whisper ***** words directly into the folds of your tulip ears too large to hear, and Dear, let me engage my rage into a productive haze bolting out words, unheard of for days. Dear, let us become undone together like the battery of a computer rebooting after a hectic hardware phase. Dear, let us breathe and walk through this maze.

Another morning in the life Of a P.T.D, I slurped my Juice back all  400 ml, then Stretched up, fingers Wiggling as mother picked Me up. Snuggles in the morning Nothing better, to show I'm Loved. But back to business, As I turned my dummy to The opposite side, the taste Is better every time its turned Soothing with each **** It was nearly breakfast time A belly is never wrong, MMmmm... Toast and jam, I smile At mummy with my Cheshire Jam smiled face. "Silly little man" As she wipes the smudges From all over my face. A case to solve, was my plan, The missing statue of SANDMAN BOB tm. It was here before, but now Gone, the prized possession Of hairy dog, as I pat his head And he licks my face Yuckkkk.... Doggy that was yuck, he wags His tail and then he is off. What a morning so much done, Time for a nap then detective Work to be done. I wake to Dads voice, "Morning little man" "How was your nap" As i give my answer with a Yawn and a smile, he gives A cuddle then off to work for Hours of fun and playing games. The clues to be seen the trail To be found, for I'm ***** Trained Detective"* And no case is to far, as Long as I can have a nap And a cuddle, maybe a Little sip and a gulp, here On look out of what is to Be found. Hairy dog is sleeping in his bed, I hear a noise I hear a Sound?? What a strange noise, "Snoring" "NO" "Bottom belches" "No funny smells" As I lift up his blanky Softly so not to wake doggy's sleep, And their he is safe and sound. "SANDMAN BOB" "Playing hide and go seek" Under hairy dogs nose and bottom, As he sleeps it does squeak, it Does beep, I lift it up and under His paw, to surprise him when He awakens. A tail shall wiggle And flop around, but the case was Solved and a happy smile found. ***** Trained Detective* does it Again, but for now it is nap time, A new case, a new thing to be Found. I will see you all again Soon, But now its snuggles Time with mummy in bed. As I close my eyes night, night I turn my dummy once more, As sheep float quietly over my head.

Shinchan, Shinchan we are his fan He’s a tot but swanks as a man He is too minute and he is so cute Shot in the arm can put you in dispute He pranks and clanks with pals or alone Be it his school or be it his home Mitsy his mom shouts as a norm Harry his dad scouts to reform Pranks and clanks both gets flop When Mitsy gives him a pop on his top Our fun gathers when he does not stop And another one goes on top on his pop Pops and shops is what he gets from his mom We never go sad be whatever his form Shinchan, Shinchan we are his fan We will love him as much as we can

Dear, let me startle you by slinking my hand into your smart, ethical decisions while I touch quite gently ripping to shreds your photon ends. Dear, let me caress your supple virtues and vows until they blow out of proportion merging your interests with mine like the longing of eyes uncanny in its distortion. Dear, let me rip off your clothes as I grip your tight notions ideas slipping carefully into place like a sterile, unflinching blank slate inching towards computed devotion. Dear, let me carry out some foreplay as long as you bend, not break, delightfully stroking the edge of your plate. Dear, let me come so close to your face so close that it becomes blurry. Where are my glasses in all this flurry? Of feelings resembling photo reels on fire shooting flames out the window beyond everything you’ve ever known; beyond anything you desire. Dear, let me kiss you to submission, your brain waves in motion as I twist and slip into them hormones ablaze lighting up for days your synapses recapturing in a binocular haze. Dear, let me flop on top of you like a floppy disk, uploading your lips into my hardrive. Do I make you hard as fire? Slowing burning my hot fingers curling up your robust spine cracking it into chiropractor sublime. Massaging your tired broad shoulders like large sofa ends. Is this keyboard only made for pretend? Dear, let me mind **** you take you and light you brighten your screen uphold and unseen neurons fighting as I whisper ***** words directly into the folds of your tulip ears too large to hear, and Dear, let me engage my rage into a productive haze bolting out words, unheard of for days. Dear, let us become undone together like the battery of a computer rebooting after a hectic hardware phase. Dear, let us breathe and walk through this maze.

~~~ Quivering horizons A palette of picturesque love stipples weary seascapes in amethyst ribbons, pink carnation reflections blush upon lip glossed beaches caressing blue skies' gaze and flip flop yearnings, quivering horizons of bougainvillea blooms drench our hearts, so we pause silently   as a poetic sunset paints a masterpiece in twilight brushstrokes inspired by our euphoric daydreams

Quivering horizons
Blinded. Glaring golden eyes (beam) serpent -tongues murmur (slitherrry, sliperryy) careless mistakes. Venom drips drop drop Forked mind (confused) Bend in, burn out (flipetty flappetty flop) Crocodile tears soon run dry enemy –turned-friend (back-stab me) I’ll bend.

We ambled the streets of Harare Meandering aimlessly Fleeting past wide-eyes scanning us enviously Hand in hand we walked into the restaurant Leisurely on Second Street Our hunger awakened Our appetites heightened At almost closing time With no one in overtime mode A signal that here we could only dine on another day Joina City was our next stop Up the lift right to the top 'Closed' it read at the coffee shop Into the nearest chair I went flop! Though hungry, we gabbed non-stop By and by we regarded the clock It chimed 8 o'clock And sadly, it was time to go home Busy and noisy Were the streets of Harare Jabbering crowds, kombis hooting Hawkers, vendors or is it hustlers now - Calling for buyers or just huddled to pass time No chill in Harare Picturesque like a dream Surreal… Hand in hand we dawdled In despair for a hot meal In the shimmering distance Like a mirage in the desert The neon lights read 'Creamy Inn' Something to calm our rambling bellies At last… Nippy evening air hit our souls 'Ice-cream tastes better at night' I said 'I can't believe I'm having ice-cream' He said We frolicked Hand in hand we danced past faces painted with adoration 'What a handsome lover!' They probably thought: My delectable younger brother

Down the Streets of Harare
Raindrops striking the window pane I need to wipe them off... I try, BUT, they keep gushing Blocking sight, the scene, efforts in vain Bluring everything, obscuring everything WAIT Is it just me? Then I realise - I'm crying . That window will break, someday, some time... Shall that crack in that window.. "Snap!" everything shall spill Rain will flood in, and it's more than my eyes they will fill Drenching everthing Someone needs to wipe them away! I'll try. I'll TRY. I'LL TRY. Why isn't anyone helping me? Mum, why do you stray? . Raindrops are falling, Raindrops getting desperate, falling harder. No one understands why they are, not even my Mother They etch and carve at my window pains. Slowly..... eventually..... it will end in drains Slowly. Eventually. One day. . Hallucinations. More carving, from cheeks to arms Raindrops turn red. No longer in drips, more of streams and river beds Down the clear glass, seemingly steady and seemingly smooth They keep waking me up in the middle of the night I can't sleep. On my bed I flop. That familar tune - monotonomous, dreadful: "Drip, Drip, Drip, Drop." Do you have them window pains?
