"franchise" poems
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
Are you listening to the whispers? are you feeling scandalised? Harbouring ***** little feelings that you wanna sanitise?

Corpses proliferate in soaring violence; heirloom of franchise and eminence— perish in erosion. Timid denizens of derision, cynicism in roaring silence — optimism’s paling vapor—commodity of Indecision, our halcyon days forgotten. Chosen token of audacity; the onyx maladroit feigns, prevaricating beneath the Sacred canopy. Etudes of apathy; attrition unlamented; streams of guile— quixotic squall conversely merge — veiled conceit, eloquent arrow of equivocation. The policy of attenuation. Treason’s vine obscured beneath the blind surf of consent. © 2014 & 2016 W. S. Warner

Attenuation
Compliments to the baker and so too my Barista Smoothest crema on the tongue juxtapose to lemon vapour. Intense acute sensations insist I close my eyes Submit in rare humility in awe of nature's true franchise. Clarion note of citron zest resounds on mellow creamy seas Mediterranean sun distilled now is witnessed here in me. Tempered, rounded bitter hues from Amazonian dark recess waited aeons to infuse and bring about this wanton bliss.

Double espresso and a slice of Sicilian lemon cheesecake
The first fight club was just Tyler and I pounding on each other. It used to be enough that when I came home angry and knowing that my life wasn't toeing my five-year plan, I could clean my condominium or detail my car. Someday I'd be dead without a scar and there would be a really nice condo and car. Really, really nice, until the dust settled or the next owner. Nothing is static. Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart. Since fight club, I can wiggle half the teeth in my jaw. Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer. Tyler never knew his father. Maybe self-destruction is the answer. Tyler and I still go to fight club, together. Fight club is in the basement of a bar, now, after the bar closes on Saturday night, and every week you go there's more guys there. Tyler gets under the one light in the middle of the black concrete basement and he can see that light flickering back out of the dark in a hundred pairs of eyes. First thing Tyler yells is, "The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club. "The second rule about fight club," Tyler yells, "is you don't talk about fight club." Me, I knew my dad for about six years, but I don't remember anything. My dad, he starts a new family in a new town about every six years. This isn't so much a family as it's like he sets up a franchise. What you see at fight club is a generation of men raised by women. ... You aren't alive anywhere like you are at fight club. When its you and one other guy under that one light in the middle of all those watching. Fight club isn't about winning or losing fights. Fight club isn't about words. You see a guy come to fight club for the first time, and his *** is a loaf of white bread. You see the same guy here six months later, and he looks carved out of wood. This guy trusts himself to handle anything. There's grunting and noise at fight club like at the gym, but fight club isn't about looking good. There's hysterical shouting in tongues like at church, and when you wake up Sunday afternoon you feel saved.

I want to be your franchise player; The reason you come out under The lights. My name and number sewn; A hall of famer that will Inevitably grace the walls To the corridors Of your memory with A bust of my face. I want to be the One. Not the backup on The bench with a Crooked cap on my Head and my helmet Between my feet. I need playing time With you. I want to win. Fiercely. I have No intention of Joining other Clubs, and I Wouldn't handle Free agency well. Ill put you on my chest everyday And go to war for you. Point To you from the Field when we score. Then come home to You. (Every time we're distant is the offseason. Every time we're Together is a championship Parade)

A sports poem about love
You change my mind like a massive industrial factory. Because flowers. Supposing friendly. What if therefore. You crush my forethought in your mandible machinery For after yellow. Beside a lake. Through crimson humility. I melt under your molten supervision on the grandest scale Melodic franchise. Hypothesize sunbeams. And if replace me. You reorient my viewpoints on your conveyor belt of liquidated mellow jurisdiction.

SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his various friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom. The series' popularity has made it a media franchise, as well as Nickelodeon network's highest rated show, and the most distributed property of MTV Networks. The media franchise has generated $8 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon. Many of the ideas for the series originated in an unpublished, educational comic book titled The Intertidal Zone, which Hillenburg created in the mid-1980s. He began developing SpongeBob SquarePants into a television series in 1996 upon the cancellation of Rocko's Modern Life, and turned to Tom Kenny, who had worked with him on that series, to voice the titular character. SpongeBob was originally to be named SpongeBoy, and the series was to be called SpongeBoy Ahoy!, but these were changed, as the name was already trademarked. The series was previewed on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 1, 1999, following the television airing of the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards, and officially premiered on July 17, 1999. It has received worldwide critical acclaim since its premiere and gained enormous popularity by its second season. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, a feature-length film adaptation, was released in theaters on November 19, 2004, and a sequel is currently in production, with a projected release date of February 13, 2015. On July 21, 2012, the series was renewed and aired its ninth season, beginning with the episode "Extreme Spots".[2][3] Despite its widespread popularity, the series has been involved in several public controversies, including one centered around speculation over SpongeBob SquarePants' intended ****** orientation. The series has been nominated for a variety of different awards, including 17 Annie Awards (with six wins), 17 Golden Reel Awards (with eight wins), 15 Emmy Awards (with one win), 13 Kids' Choice Awards (with 12 wins), and four BAFTA Children's Awards (with two wins). In 2011, a newly described species of mushroom, Spongiforma squarepantsii, was named after the cartoon's title character.

Any slave that escape bring him back and torcher him. Strange, but mostly true were slave masters mentality. So it's amazing, we still, have these slave matters today. Oh, I forgot, we call them business owners of professional teams. Who? Have dictated to their slaves? I'm sorry players. What required of them? When the national anthem is played? Oh, yes it's America. And we have the first amendment as freedom of speech. You BETTER stand during the playing of the national theme. No choice! Yes, your master has spoken. You better listen? Wait! Do the players realize the power they posse? Unions, years ago brought manufactures of product to a halt to settle deals. Players, especially the National Football League African Americans can HALT any season from being played? Power in numbers. Who? Would be hurt? The masters of the slaves. They business owners. Many locked into deals with a various organization to make a profit. Cities, the economy will suffer. All those tax breaks that cities cheaply gave to get the team. All those soda, food businesses that make money during athletic seasons. Sure, you lose some fans than many are like fair weather friends. When winning, they there. When suffering you can't begin to see them. In modern time, the slaves have the power. Oh, my fault, the players has the strength. And forget about threats from THIS president. Years, ago. He played the owner of a franchise in a sub-par league.P Probably, still holding a grudge cause we see many present owners gathering up to him. And, what if? The NBA players throw ALL their support to their fellow group. Heck, imagine the thunderstorm of losses. Only ones safe is the baseball owners. The odds of these players supporting them is slim. And that based mainly on the racial hue. So just think of the power that players got in the NFL/NBA?

Adieu chère maison de mes ancêtres Cette fois ci, le sort en est jeté, Les acquéreurs improbables, les propriétaires chimériques, ont consigne la somme convenue sur les fonds du notaire. Et toi, chère maison, tu vas changer de famille et d'amours. Désormais, nos enfances envolées, ne retrouveront plus le secours, des vielles boiseries et des tapisseries centenaires, de toutes ces armoire en châtaignier et ces commodes de noyer, auxquels nous rattache encor comme un fil invisible, tant de senteurs, d'images et souvenirs fanés. Et le tic-tac mélodieux de la vieille horloge dans l'entrée du 19. Et ces mansardes, chargées d'objets hétéroclites que nous aimons tant fouiller. Quant au jardin qui aurait pu être un parc, comment oublier ses massifs de groseilliers et ses fraises des bois ? Et les plants de rhubarbe, la sauge aux grandes vertus, aux dires de grand-mère. Ainsi que les allées de marguerites, attirant les abeilles, plus **** remplacées par des rosiers blancs, roses et rouges si odorants. Cette maison de famille qui résista a tant de coups du sort, a péri des impôts et des frais d'entretien du jardin, du manque de modernisation aussi. Alors que tant de logements sans âme étaient construits. Surtout de l'âge et du départ de sa chère maîtresse, ma mère, qui y avait trop froid et ne pouvait y vivre seule. Et aussi un peu, ma franchise l'admet, du manque d'initiatives et de goût pour l'association de nous tous, de notre fratrie. Certes l'on pourra trouver bien des excuses. Les uns furent trop **** les autres manquèrent de moyens. Mais dans mon fors intérieur, Je sais que cette maison manqua surtout de notre audace et de notre courage commun a la faire vivre. Aussi notre maison de famille fut comme abandonnée a son sort par ses enfants disperses par la vie. Pauvre maison, nous n'avons su te garder; puisses-tu tomber désormais dans des mains aimantes, artistes et vertes ! Paul Arrighi

Sonnet. Quand, les deux yeux fermés, en un soir chaud d'automne, Je respire l'odeur de ton sein chaleureux, Je vois se dérouler des rivages heureux Qu'éblouissent les feux d'un soleil monotone ; Une île paresseuse où la nature donne Des arbres singuliers et des fruits savoureux ; Des hommes dont le corps est mince et vigoureux, Et des femmes dont l'oeil par sa franchise étonne. Guidé par ton odeur vers de charmants climats, Je vois un port rempli de voiles et de mâts Encor tout fatigués par la vague marine, Pendant que le parfum des verts tamariniers, Qui circule dans l'air et m'enfle la narine, Se mêle dans mon âme au chant des mariniers.

*Bus poems are shorties written on the way home, riding the M31 thru Manhattan. Often silly, often not...* There is a contest that does not involve my P.S.F. (Preferred Sport Franchise) this weekend, truly don't give a good ****** who wins, but that is no excuse to deny me my sir sore-losing, victim status, so richly deserved. A triumvirate of doctor, g.f. and medical tests, have on the field ruled, once a year, a conjugal visit permitted, tween my arteries and chicken wings. there will pigs in blankets demanding attention, potato knishes, and cole slaw juices,  and a foreign dignitary, Sayyid Cous-Cous, lining up along side the quarterback  who will be 'winging' honey and spicy passes to his favorite receiver, this couch coach and impartial observer. This is my Sunday fare. If insufficiently highbrow, for all you poetic aesthetes, have no fear, this athlete gastronomic,, victim of his victuals, will prepare mentally by hanging with King Lear once more, sharing a verbal tasting menu, the day prior, who once called me, at a Giant super bowl party, *“A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel ***** one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.”* ― William Shakespeare, King Lear

A triumvirate of doctor, g.f. and medical tests, have on the field ruled, once a year, a conjugal visit permitted, tween my arteries and chicken wings. there will pigs in blankets demanding attention, potato knishes, and cole slaw juices,  and a foreign dignitary, Sayyid Cous-Cous, lining up along side the quarterback  who will be 'winging' honey and spicy passes to his favorite receiver, this couch coach and impartial observer. This is my Sunday fare. If insufficiently highbrow, for all you poetic aesthetes, have no fear, this athlete gastronomic,, victim of his victuals, will prepare mentally by hanging with King Lear once more, sharing a verbal tasting menu, the day prior, who once called me, at a Giant super bowl party, *“A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel ***** one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.”* ― William Shakespeare, King Lear

The tourists will be packing bags eager to make the trip. Not to go and see the Broncos. Not to go and see the Mint. They will flood the mile high city hoping to get higher still. Put that in your pipe and smoke, Denver does the people’s will. For folks who **** on Cannabis Denver must seem like Heaven Me I want a franchise there, Selling munchies at seven Eleven.

Rocky Mountain High
Four kings rode in with strings and skins to bring salvation to me on the streets of New Year's Eve. My friend would lend contents of bookends that induced solutions to a common teenage problem. I became incepted and indebted to the greatest escape artist, plus drowned-out voice who talked me through the agony of lonesome pains. Though association fades, those days still replay in heavy bass, or on the screaming face of a DVD case. But when handshakes are met with drunken compliments, it makes me question what it all meant. Veins no longer contain baselines or nets because the rent doesn't even cover travel expense. There are hotel pillars in a lake up town, tacky Christmas decs have been taken down, while two Jags are parked up outside dad's house. The nice-eyed lad, Welsh running track, smiling dancer and security-defying chap in a flat cap keep me from collapse. As the album dies, benign podcasts thrive. Franchise rise, repeated lines, gym life, energy drink lies and paper bag highs make laugh-cry emojis hard to find. With Wi-Fi or offline.

"qui es tu?" qui es tu? Je ne sais plus. Avant tu étais l'amour, l'âme soeur, l'ami , l'amant, le tout. Mais maintenant qui es tu? Une blessure, une vilaine cicatrice , une épidémie, une nuit blanche, un malaise constant, une pensé qui honte mon esprit, un passé douloureux, un présent douloureux? une éternité? Je ne sais pas exactement comment te qualifier. Je sens que bientôt tu va devenir un souvenir lointain, un soupire désolé, une remontrance. Mais va tu un jour allez jusqu’à en être un regrée? Qui es tu? Un lit chaud pendant la nuit, glacial au matin.Qui es tu? Un étranger, une âme perdu, un esprit fou. Qui es tu? La colère, la jalousie, l'envy, le mal, la souffrance. Qui es tu? Le plaisir, le bonheur, la vie. Qui es tu? Un espoir ou désespoir? Joix ou tristesse? Qui es tu? Une leçon? Une plaisanterie? Qui es tu? Le mensonge ou la vérité? Qui es tu? Une envie ou un besoin? Qui es tu? Un départ ou une arrivée? Qui es tu? Gloire ou perte? Qui es tu? Le début ou la fin? Qui es tu? Un chapitre ou toute l'histoire? Qui es tu? Un sourire ou une larme? Qui es tu? Franchise ou hypocrisie? Qui es tu? La folie ou la raison? Qui es tu? Le bien ou le mal? Qui es tu? Qui es tu? Qui es tu? Non ne me lance pas ce sourire narquois! Non ne me dis pas que tu n'es juste pas comme les autres! Cela ne me suffit pas! Arrête! Ne t'en va pas, reste avec moi, aime moi, protège moi, prends moi dans tes bras et dis moi des mots doux comme tu le fessait avant. J’abandonne, je me rends, je suis a toi, fais ce que tu veux mais ne me brise pas ..pas pour la énième fois! Efface ce regard victorieux de tes yeux , je sais que se cache en eux de la bonté. Tu sais la bonté et le pardon ne sont pas des faiblesses, au contraire c'est de la force. L'amour non plus n'est pas une faiblesse mais une bénédiction . N'aie pas peur de me faire confiance. Pourquoi cette hésitation dans ton regard? Je t'aime! Comprends le. Je ne te ferait pas mal promis. je sais que demain tu partira encore une fois, que tu n'es pas encore prêt et que tu dois vivre libre de tout ça, libre de moi, mais embrasse moi quand même, laisse moi le souvenir de tes lèvres pour me garder saine. Peut être que c'est ce que tu es a la fin, un baiser passionné qui laisse nos lèvres rêvasser d'une prochaine collision entre eux, ce désir fou qui fait battre nos cœurs, se plaisir qui laisse nos corps tremblant après une nuit torride.. Tu es le ******

The new family dog sits at the table with sugar in his cereal I talk to him so he won’t be lonely. I ask him how his day was. He looks at me through his brown dog eyes sitting in the chaos of a hallucinatory disease. I sit at the sidelines of gradual Death. I babysit him on weekends and even from the shore, i can see him on his island chasing the tail of dissipating thoughts. He wasn’t always a dog. He had a big bushy afro. And a truckers moustache that got him attention from the ladies. He managed an automotive parts franchise and travelled often. He owned twelve of the worlds finest tobacco pipes, and smoked *** out of all of them. He married the love of his life at 19 years old. When the doctor told them, she would never bear children. But he watched four boys become men. And only two were adopted. He became a grandfather and every passover, he sat in the throne of a kingdom he built. His grandchildren loved him unconditionally. When he tells me these stories now, he sits behind glass, where he watches the kingdom. Without him. Sitting at the breakfast table, I want him to know: I love you, I can’t help you. I love you— Goodbye.

For Zadie
*I'm nineteen.  I don't know where to go.  What path to take? I'm strong yet scared of people. I'm fearless but I'm afraid to talk. I have my strong thoughts. I have my will. But I am afraid.  I don't know where to go. He's 23; got his 30M and his own factory. He's 22; got his own factory inaugurated by the president. They're in their 20's.  Their bringing in a big chain of a foreign franchise to our country.   They're young.  They are meeting with the big bosses of hotels. Back to me. Here I am.  I'm nineteen.  Where do I go now?*

Everybody Comes to Rick's Pancake House Franchise
There's a better version of me,     up, ahead. And         he loves you in ways,         I can't figure ways, how-to. Yeah, you cried when he left you. And lonely,     you screamed. "But if he'd come back, then," you think, you'd believe it? The             roads don't just sparkle, every             time that you need it.             In the poem I write next,     we're both losing games. I press up then, catch on, turning to flames.                 In a grand winning gesture you burst into diamonds,                 before I can remind you                 about asking Simon.     In the distance, outside the door to your     basement, a crowd la-las the     Star-Spangled Banner. From the bulkhead and foundation, from "the Hobbit door," but, behind me, the Anthem goes silent.                             "Not home. Headed home. Stopped here. On-my-way." "Where would you rather be,                                             than right here, right now?" Ralph Wilson died a rich man, with a football stadium by which to remember him.             "Well then trace your depression to its sources."                         I'm afraid I'll never own the franchise. There's a father, presiding over a service,                 for both of us. It's the same priest, at every                     front of the room.                         Our parents are crying, regardless.                         I'd say somewhere, we sit, together,             sipping on the universe. This one                                                     or another.         If we don't, then they do. And they're having the best time.         But in our past,         the same one we share now,         a version of you stiffens. She glazes her eyes, sugary. Holds out her palm, fingers to the sky. And he matches her thumb first, before the four digits.                                     Her face bursts, all rosy. His turns away.

If you're heart is always over-explosive, people will call you a maniac, I know some folk who fall in love too easy and they're broke and they live in 2 bedroom apartments, their rent is like the Romans sticking nails in their wrists. I'm not really interested, I.N.R.I. My younger nephews crying because I tipped over his new toy, I laughed way too hard. I laugh way too hard. Sleep before work before **** you and **** your day, constellations on constellations. Everyone I admire wants to die. We all commit to suicide more sincerely than our current relationships. We're all incompatible, and no one sleeps enough. I am a culprit too, I am invaluable, I'm in denial over a lot of things, drown it out with aspirin and youtube, and vitamin D and spicy foods and water and orange juice... Enough coffee to drown a child, they say it only takes three inches though [everything's a *** joke, everything's innuendo, or it's a gritty reboot of a silly franchise, Robocop was ****** up in the eighties now it's warm milk and grandma's pull out couch]. I can't figure out why we need two holidays to celebrate genocide, my friends probably think I'm insane and I'd never call them wrong. I'm not really interested though.
