"gazette" poems
The immense striking letters of the gazette’s front page make me almost cross-eyed My mind is going to explode in the images I have seen in the television Boom! When will the politicians be weary in stealing the wealth of the country? Millions of pesos were caught in the centre of the golden sea Can we only find it from other countries? Is that the main reason why Filipinos are migrating: to find source of much bigger income? I am thinking about them together with their bosses with heavy iron hands I believe crime rate is escalating... ...the crime that can grab you 24 hours a day Can we still smell the tainted odor of pictures of the street children... children who beg for a piece of bread? Mr. President, where is the promised straight road you are pointing at? Why can’t we see it? Is it crooked? Why is it that these are the ONLY stuffing of rumors? Why can’t we focus onto a bigger and wider problem of our country and even around the world? Perhaps above all issues, this is the only concern that is not yet trending in Twitter So, I just boasted it to my open-mouthed puppy... “If I will be the President of the Philippines, I will focus first on ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.” Suddenly, Bruno’s saliva dripped.

If I will be the President...
I adore you With your forward brow, Eyes of nightshade and black treacle. Your image floats and unfurls in the ****** spaces Between marks posed in gazette. You stare back at me knowingly, Cunningly, As though watching the course of my life unfold. You have stretched your hand through time To let it fall in a cold gust across these pages, Betwixt the folds of my cerebrum, Your spectral lips prompting faintly In the nook behind my ear. -O goddess, O muse!- O fellow soul… You have found me.

Aurelia's Daughter
Luna Tickle eats only pickles and ***** up all the brine When her brother tells their mother she begins to whine: “Yes I did it! And left no tidbit Is that such a crime? My brother smells and raises hell And leaves the loo full of slime.” Now their mother dear began to fear her children were obstructions Never listening, since their christening, and wished for their abduction So she planned a slaughter and called her daughter Outside to the woodshed, then chopped her neck in two She put Luna’s head in her brother’s bed and said, “Now, they’ll be no more Boo-Hoos” Now you know of Luna and her tragic ending But there’s more to this rhyme that’s pending For the Tickle name is quite insane And was never worth defending But that’s just what her brother did When Mrs. Tickle met Judge Knuckle And almost flipped her lid Screaming: “I never liked that kid from the day she began to suckle! Why she couldn’t be more like me, or her lovely sister Tess” Twas all Mrs. Tickle could confess that day to Judge and jury Until brother **** chimed-in and confessed his sin And did so in such a fury, it was heard throughout and within The entire state of Missouri: “I am Richard Tickle and do confess I am not fickle In fact I am quite pugnacious If you do not see the circumstances like me I’ll be forced to be disputatious” Interjects Judge Knuckle: “Boy, I’ll have you buckled this instance to electric chair If you’re not scared I’ll be splitting hairs In a place where the sun does not shine So if you care, you’d best beware Or your Gherkin will be in a brine” Now Tess screamed out and her mother did shout In perfect unison: **** is my love and none the likes of any other hooligan” At this there was a scuffle Each dame was muffed and ruffled They could not contain All their angst and their pain And it led to the ugliest tussle For each thought **** Was devoted to she And apparently, this could not be As we know of the trouble with Luna So the jury was not out Or even in doubt Of these sinister makings and troubles It was the sickest of affairs Mass-producing glaring stares From everyone within the court Missouri Gazette’s headlines that day Told of how they did slay And burn the Tickle chalet Leaving it in incestuous rubble The lesson today to this horrific ballet Is don’t live your life in a bubble

Puking on a vest made of argyle Passing out on kitchen tile A checker board mattress after Chatting with a girl, whose *** is fantastic She's hotter than struck matchsticks Playing chess with her chest Moves are nothing short of the best You can pull on 3 leaf clovers But you can't push your luck King me, Crown me, Get royally ****** I've got the wood she's got the chuck How much? Bedside Manner is enough But she'd rather talk about being stuck like cassettes With a useless boyfriend And a ton of financial debt Had I mentioned this was turning into a drag Minus the cigarette   The size of a rolled telegram and gazette   Has it become clear yet *I'm not looking at you I'm looking past you* Transparent Like a ghost It's apparent I'm into you like a foreign host It's hard to tell When the air is hazy She's blind to the fact Like her eye is lazy Choked on words that she never learned to chew Why don't you call Sherlock, boo Get yourself a Clue

Bedside Manner
Go to five more unknown lands Collect a talisman from everywhere Then climb the steps to the quietest place You will find your cherished wish there Fully blossomed; Strobilanthes, the wonder That blooms once every 12 years In that quietest corner of the climb When you find me- your treasure Never come close to me, For closer to the desire, I am different Let me be the third talisman with the unfold magic And, "thy shall not beret my indifference" "But why you call me indifferent Didn't you see the Gazette, off late?" Life in her wide eyes darted through me... "A decree was issued that you cannot Feel Indifference unless I admit to it Find your talisman- may be I am your unknown land" Innate travel through time and mind zones; Bereft of the sleep and the dreams, me- Forgetting to remember me-self; How can I remember to forget you?! Don't put words into my mouth You are the fifth talisman of an unknown land December tells me "dart further and farther" To unknown lands for talisman's blessings " Get over the fence you made in these years The fence cannot keep out, anyone willing The fence cannot keep in, anyone wanting The line you have drawn was in water... So, here comes me, in search of the talisman Off the fences, for you to invite and venture. An year full of drum beat journey behind In search of the quietest place of tranquil Thank you December, the wind you blew, I keep these in my heart and mind for ever Turning inward for a new year of inner peace...

A passing moon and empty silhouette keep me company this early morn walk, their quiet company, a silent vignette. A passing moon and empty silhouette embrace longing of this hopeful gazette, yet bid adieu to my faint solo talk. A passing moon and empty silhouette keep me company this early morn walk.

Solitude
I took Fifth Street home last night— two blocks back from the corner store selling dry-mouth Camels cheaper than the shop downtown. Away from the newspaper boxes selling the *Gazette, Times, Tribune, Post, Weekly, Daily, Whatever* for one dollar and fifty cents a pop. The crumbling sidewalks took the glare of porch lights and slid with 'em the length of this rusted chain-link fence spanning four yards, three front doors, two pipe railings, and a doghouse. The ice salt sprinkled from the stoops earlier that day made the glasswalk melt and bubble up, popping like Christmas bulbs beneath my shoes.

we have scorpions
Like a foolish boy I once went looking for danger, Learning of tall tales then seeking them for myself. The gazette speaks of a melding between two celestial bodies. *Don't gaze directly at it no matter how sublime it may be.* I have met the protagonist before if even through tinted shields. A lifelong rapport, yet is hitherto a subtle stranger. I braved a look yesterday, to examine all the fuss. Touched by your spell as your visage fills my eyes. Now when I blink I spot you staring back with blue flame. A face etched into the cave of my sockets - your new home. Forecast arrives, moon meets sun as my anxiety sweats in my hand. I don no lenses, for you are the enticing stranger which I cannot fear.

Eclipse
I’ll look up and see a wasp Or a bee, hunting around, Ready to die. Collaborations simplified in rivers abreast Oh, the shores of Lethe are so delightful With their ash marked eyes and solitude beggars Potted plants of desiree, coal jutted shouts cross Blanket crowds shoved in a bruised corner With a madman screaming something about Lasting generation and forced collaration. See the basket cases? Claimed they were From the devil, Dee did, muttering about kingdoms and collard greens With her stuffed, shrunk coat waddling round the same Dickey’s, a corner from Westboro Baptist. And kitty corner from the statues no one’s taking down Cause Mr.White said nah son, that’s not right As he bombed Bethel Baptist one more time. And these shores are so delightful, don’t you see? Harpooned sticks and scarecrows, oh sorry, I meant social expectations, but who cares anyway? Wondering why we all say “i want to die’, Have you looked at the government mandating People inhuman, or the money situation, Should be on the news, but No we here at Fox and CNN don’t believe that’s important. Say, I don’t think we should have Onion headlines On the New York Times. So we say ‘i want to die’ and the Gazette tells us it’s those **** video games again or maybe it’s the stigma and lack of empathy from The Powerful. And you hear on the street, “Weed’s ending this country,” Sorry, I wanted a break from all this god **** noise From a country pulling apart at the beaten seams Of another unwritten book. Anger, you’ll say, irrational, I’ll add, But pointing at the statue in the park And you wonder why all those wasps And bees we look down on, the gerbils and Hamsters That we never pull a punch on Why they escape through the way they know how, Why, wouldn’t you too? But that’d require empathy, sir, And apparently you lack more than morals, sir. Look, there’s Dee, getting her collard greens In her stuffy, shrunken jacket, Round the corner from Dickey’s and cracked roads with littered breezes blowing past cars open windows, honking and brazen calls. Welcome to the Lethe shores, Don’t worry, you won’t remember a thing, Slipped a bit of Liquid X in your alcohol.

dreamed that Current studio hired me to design a walkthrough of a ceiling-high, openly grinning,  paper mache pig's head: the stable's entrance to tiny pens packed with caged (paid) human children who passed out tiny buttons enscribed with varying notes: Please Help They Did Not Ask Me I Don't Want To Die Can You Find My Mom? I Can Do Math In My Head Eat More Monkeys Please Save Us I Don't Want To Die But it was an unpopular exhibit The Oklahoman would not report it The Gazette managed a story on page 9 Yet advertised Cane's Chicken on page 5 Rattlesnake Roundup is just a few weeks away And I have no clue how I could possibly convey The value of wild life. The degree of their strife.

Yes. This Is Another Poem. Yes.
"In peace our nations unite" ...to do exactly what? Wring our hands in horror? Write to the Gazette? Retreat to the safety of our invisibility? The sanctuary of our silence? Quiver, hidden in the doubtful safety of the masses? Most people will do this, lament the tragedy and let it slide with a shake of the head and a frightened, pious silence... When in actual fact..... what we all should do is take up the drum and beat it deafeningly, furiously...and together, roar our fury to the powers that be.... That they take up the sickle and pursue these creatures to the end of the earth and deal to them once and for all! Amen M.

In Reply to William Cantwell's "Our Un-Ness"
Grant me witnessing all ‘round I go Let me be uncomfortable In my sadness In my spite In my veins our ancestors’ strife Their oppression chiseled in depths Of my subconscious—mayn’t I forget In my every privileged sigh In every nightmare’s death And all of my trivial achievement That their blood inks this gazette That my soul echoes their last breath For justice—mayn’t I Move idly and yield To transient relief To false gods To defeatism That my heart numbs To the cries of my people To the destruction of our homes To the monarchy of traitors Let me hear it everywhere I go Let me be uncomfortable

Sur les tuiles où se hasarde Le chat guettant l'oiseau qui boit, De mon balcon une mansarde Entre deux tuyaux s'aperçoit. Pour la parer d'un faux bien-être, Si je mentais comme un auteur, Je pourrais faire à sa fenêtre Un cadre de pois de senteur, Et vous y montrer Rigolette Riant à son petit miroir, Dont le tain rayé ne reflète Que la moitié de son oeil noir ; Ou, la robe encor sans agrafe, Gorge et cheveux au vent, Margot Arrosant avec sa carafe Son jardin planté dans un *** ; Ou bien quelque jeune poète Qui scande ses vers sibyllins, En contemplant la silhouette De Montmartre et de ses moulins. Par malheur, ma mansarde est vraie ; Il n'y grimpe aucun liseron, Et la vitre y fait voir sa taie, Sous l'ais verdi d'un vieux chevron. Pour la grisette et pour l'artiste, Pour le veuf et pour le garçon, Une mansarde est toujours triste : Le grenier n'est beau qu'en chanson. Jadis, sous le comble dont l'angle Penchait les fronts pour le baiser, L'amour, content d'un lit de sangle, Avec Suzon venait causer. Mais pour ouater notre joie, Il faut des murs capitonnés, Des flots de dentelle et de soie, Des lits par Monbro festonnés. Un soir, n'étant pas revenue, Margot s'attarde au mont Breda, Et Rigolette entretenue N'arrose plus son réséda. Voilà longtemps que le poète, Las de prendre la rime au vol, S'est fait reporter de gazette, Quittant le ciel pour l'entresol. Et l'on ne voit contre la vitre Qu'une vieille au maigre profil, Devant Minet, qu'elle chapitre, Tirant sans cesse un bout de fil.

when the moon was full, grandpa and I would stay in town past sunset the road home good, with few ruts, the pastures soft silver in all that lunar light his team was old, slow, but grandpa knew no haste even getting to the cellar, when great twisters came born the week Lincoln freed the slaves he not once drove a car, though he lived to read of Sputnik in the Gazette, and died when JFK was elected summers lasted a long time with grandpa--I still see him. giving reins a gentle shake, reminding his horses to pull us home whistling to them, telling me tales on a July night, the year of the Crash he put his gaze on the fat orb, barely waning “one day we'll put a man up there,” he proclaimed but I thought he was pulling my leg “have to put him in a cannon like, enclosed in some hard shell, otherwise we’d blow him all to hell, gettin' enough power to loose the bounds of God's earth” grandpa didn't live to hear Neil's famous words, two score years after that summer night; though I yet hear the shod hooves plodding, the wagon wheels rolling, and his words soothsaying, whenever I gaze at a white moon’s face
