"greta" poems
Is it acceptable to **** anyone and everyone you want, Be mysteriously exposed in your photographs, Act carelessly with people and friends drunk and drugged and dicked out of your mind, Forget the hurtful and blissful past for a reputation, Exist in a way the girl you were never thought you could be the girl you are, Because you’re in your 20s? You remind me of the characters Greta Gerwig plays in some of her films, But not Gerwig herself, Although you do look an awful like her Hispanic version if there was one; I guess that’s you. I bet when I was placing the edge of the razorblade against my wrist, You were getting penetrated and plowed by a **** between the legs. Your innocence was smothered by your lust and Our history got erased by your fears and flaws. I just wanted you, But then again, everyone already had you, And it was not my fault; It was your choice.

****
Every now and then I go deep inside my mind Just to have a little rest And see what I can find I don't go in there often It dark and I must say That sometimes I'm afraid That I may lose my way There's a little corner café Where Groucho sits alone Stan Laurel sits there writing gags And Greta Garbo sits and moans Sinatra sings for all of them John Lennon talks to God Brian Jones gives swimming lessons There's Liz Taylor and Mike Todd Over in the distance At a table in the corner Hemmingway sells movie scripts To mogul man Jack Warner Elvis does a hip shake Ruth and Gherig playing catch Bud and Lou do Who's on First Humphrey Bogart lights a  match Charles Dickens playing darts A red balloon comes floating by Andy Warhol sits with Nico Where German pop songs go to die Marilyn and James Dean Sit quietly talking on the stairs John Kennedy and his brother Bob Just pretend that they are both not there Chico plays piano and Harpo with his harp Bad jokes float around the room being told by silent stars Phil Everly and Phil Ramone They're new here so they're woozy Sit talking of the songs they'll miss Rick Nelson sings of Susie You see it is a mad mad place in my head when I may wander I don't go in too deep And I've met Henry Fonda There's images, and icons Family, and friends on a little street inside my head That's a circle with no ends

Fame was my name years ago. Now I’m a white dwarf in this youthful universe and my smile is long forgotten. I remember the days of Colvin and his Wilt. There was also Cindy the **** German, and of course Jerry and Apeksha… and how close we were! The Filipinos were my favorites; so nice and kind. I still talk to Greta, and I’m thankful for this. A Working Poet has been around to see my world in both darkness and sunlight. However, I remember Bliss Like This, as well as Aaron, and the Airships; my first follows and followers. There was a new face every day and friends were made instantaneously. Over one thousand fans immersed in my words on a daily basis… Now a handful at best read my withering stanzas. I’m a rotting apple on a dwarf planet. Like Pluto, I was once loved by many, but then they chose to forget me.

If Only Words Could Speak
Cassandra, I see you in the words of Greta Thunberg: Filled with passion, warnings, truth. Not believed. Cassandra, I see you in the dreams of Calpurnia; warning Caesar, bloodied earth Not believed. Cassandra, I see you in the protections of Tony Stark; made with fear, love Not believed. Did they tell you to smile more? Ask you why you’ve “gotten involved”? Did they belittle your prophecy, Ignore warning after warning? Ignore you? Mad woman, hysterical. You, angered Apollo Or Was he always angry? Did he believe himself so worthy of your love that he cursed not having it? I don’t know. You probably told someone We know how that would have ended, Cassandra, I see you in the testimonies of Christine Blasey Ford, so hurt, pained, strong. Not believed. Were you told to sit quietly, mind your place? When you were attacked was it your body She defended Or Her own desiccated image? Maybe you told the trees of Ajex’s sins, because even if the men listened, A statue protected him from justice. Cassandra, I see you in the words of impassioned protestors so bright, so young. Not believed. Maybe if you told them lies they'd believe the truth. Maybe if you told the truth they'd believe the lies. Believe anything you said. Darling Cassandra possible bride of Apollo. definite belonging of King Agamemnon. Did his children believe you? Are you a warning to women? Love who you are told to. Bow to authority or Never give up. Are you a criticism of men? Demanding of love. Expecting subservience. Justice not served. Cassandra, I see you in myself, the pain they caused the light going out I am not believed. Cassandra, Does it get better? Have you received the peace you so deserve? Or are you still Not believed.

I had a premonition in 1972. I had this awful feeling that sometime in the future there would be only one national park, instead of the 64 we have now, left in America: 10 square miles in the remote northwest corner of Montana. I just finished watching on PBS a video of John Denver, in 1974, performing in the Red Rock Amphitheater located in the Rocky Mountains. That was 49 years ago, but to me, John Denver embodied, even if unwittingly, the emergence of concern of the bur- geoning existential, catastrophic threat of climate-change Earth now faces. Few have taken bold, proactive measures to save all living creations on our only home. Al Gore and Greta Thunberg come to mind readily, but, in reality, the multinational corporations that still rule Earth deem profits over prudence, let alone curative, worldwide action. John Denver died in a plane crash in 1997, 49 years ago. Jesus, John! Why did you have to die so early in your life? I, and the rest of the world, hope my premonition is never realized.

10 SQUARE MILES
"I don't act this way to change the world. I act this way so that the world won't change me."-- Patricia Charbonneau in 'Desert Hearts' Singing Dancing Trying Crying as The Act is but an act. Intangible at that. She may be silent, but She is strident in action. Later, She is given a voice. But, The Lady thespian, assaulted by The Gaze, is subjected as the objected by the subjected and the objected. Greta Garbo dominates the Pre-Codes. Betty Davis hesitates but follows the new ones. Miss Monroe, the ideal *** erases Her history, creating a new toxic one: "Look and touch as you please, Mr. President." Singing Dancing Trying Crying "Blame the woman for everything" say 'Ordinary People' and the Academy salutes you. Look Lady, shoot to 'Kill Bill' for a manly thrill to be remembered still... Still waiting for change... Legally, a Blonde has brains, too. But who knew that twists and turns and changes can happen to you? All from Her: Singing Dancing Trying Crying on the big screen. You just can't touch Her.

I’d worked late each night that summer, before the crash in Eighty Nine. So, it was only natural when I needed to unwind. I’d grab a meal and have a glass (or two) till final call Then show up in the morning for my stint at Broad and Wall. The Blue bar at the Algonquin was always my first choice. Steve Ross was singing in the oak room, You may recall his tenor voice. The bartender and the waiters knew my wants without a word. As I waited for my supper a distinctive voice was heard. Even in her eighties, Garbo struck a regal tone. Despite age’s indignities She would have honored any throne. . She knew I’d recognized her, though I never said her name. I was just a child when she had her last brush with fame. She knew me from the brokerage house Her account was with my boss. We’d sometimes spoken on the phone about a gain or loss. I asked if she would like a drink when next the barkeep came. She eyed the Bourbon in my glass and said “I’ll have the same.” We were two people, both alone, She famous, me, obscure. For me it was her solitude that acted as a lure. I knew she’d never married though there were lovers and affairs. It was as if the single life was answer to her prayers. “You know I never really said: ‘I want to be alone.’ Its just I knew I had the strength to be out on my own.” She knew I had just lost my Dad, The pain was very keen. She said “I lost my Father back when I was seventeen.”. “I appreciate your kindness... It‘s going to take some time.” “If you know where your heart lies,” She said,” You’re going to be fine.” I paid the bill and we stepped out into a warm and humid night. I hailed a cab for her and then we said our last good Night. I never saw her face again or beheld those striking eyes. It was just a few months later We got word that Garbo died.

Is she like Calypso in The Camomile Lawn, knelt down and speechless by the fire, resembling Jennifer Ehle so closely, as the camera lingers at her being naked as a jaybird, and quite comely at that? Or is she perhaps more like Felicitas in Flesh and the Devil, a dead ringer for Greta Garbo, who brazenly encouraged illicit love and rivalry, only to go quietly by falling through thin ice? Sometimes the siren's call is more a winsome variation in its silence.

Amber was an atheist, she thought the world was dumb as hell. Britney was a botanist, who had a fertilizer smell. Candice was a coroner, a scary passion for the stiffs. Diana was a drummer chick, that knew a few guitar riffs. Evelyn was evil, man, all leather suits and chains and whips. Farrah was a therapist, got in my brain with swinging hips. Greta was a gunslinger, she'd give most anything a shot. Hannah was a homebody- shy as hell, but twice as hot. Iris was an Ivy Leaguer, thought I was a total fool. Janice was a juggler, who liked to play with power tools. Kimmy taught karate, who dated me just for the kicks. Louise was a lyricist, who wrote about how guys were ***** Marilyn was mostly mean, she liked to fight and then make up. Nancy was so negative, I had no choice but to break up. Opal was an occultist, who liked to gossip with the dead. Paula was a ********** that made me pay to come to bed. Queenie was inquisitive, the questions were too much to bear. Rosie was a recluse who never shaved or brushed her hair. Sidney was a sinful sort, with toys and gadgets 'neath the bed. Tina was a twisted chick, with thirteen voices in her head. Ursula was uber-cool, always on the latest trends. Vicky was on Vicodin, and we all know how that one ends. Wanda was a wanderer, that left to join a circus troupe. Xena the exhibitionist liked to do it on the stoop. Yolanda was young and fine, and nearly cost me everything. Zoey was a Zombie fan, she got hot when he would sing. I'd like to say I've settled down, but since the alphabet is done, I'm gonna met an Ann or Anita, and give it all another run.

Your manly pride Which please, have no fear It's electric Even when you won't even touch me What is that about? I already told you it's Unforgettable Like nothing I ever knew or will again But how would I know? I'm even less experienced than you could possibly imagine And yet you think with your warped thoughts That it is other It is not I'm more alone than ever And yet it's not the worst thing Mr. You're the expert, remember? You think I had a boyfriend? I didn't I don't I could I won't It won't do One got in and I kicked him Twice Others would love to Oh how nice. Thank you you but no thanks So No one touches me. The baked goods locked away in a pretty cabinet since the leaves were still on the trees That is my truth Since for F*cking Ever For you And that Is my Choice Because what I want and what I get are mutually exclusive I'm funny like that And the world still turns Whiny girl who discriminates for reasons of chemistry and admiration, didn't get her way? Boo f*cking hoo. It's not Somalia. Or Sudan. And so look where that gets me I'm Jane Austen in Becoming Jane I'm Laura Ingalls Wilder with no Almanzo I'm Greta Garbo Who actually didn't say "I want to be alone" She actually SAID "I want to be left alone" Quite a bit different really And I didn't ask for either intentionally but I'm here living proof it happens So I'm a spinster Because for that I don't bend Except for you I'm a genius!!

It's about your pride
Greta, oh Greta, you’re freaking out. Our planet won’t perish. You'll grow up. Hyped and promoted by globalist funds, Your unbalanced drama makes us cringe. Greta, oh Greta, you’re barking mad; Your handlers have let out too much leash. Time to lie down on your favorite mat And pray to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Regrettable Swede
They never felt the vibrations Of the voices out of the walls Like you did, never heard their Ghosts call from the mouths of Birds from the fields below The asylum window, or felt The cold embrace of depression’s Touch, at least not over much. They never counted the distance From bed to wall from wall to door And back again, never felt the pinch Or punch of each new day, each new Hour, never thirst for the next drink That never came, that teased And tormented like good old demented You, you with the Marylyn Monroe Walk, the Greta Garbo talk. From the asylum window you Would stand and stare and watch The seagulls in the air, see the seasons Change from hot to cold, from light To dark and never forget your demon’s Hold, your lover’s eyes, his voice, His sickly smile, the way he touched You that final time, and all you could do After you stabbed him through, as an Exciting encore, was to kiss his dying Lips as you’d never kissed before.

AS AN ENCORE.
Sad reflections from donated dreams. Charity's fallen embers. Like a high UV index they burn right into your skin. Freckling your thoughts with a bit of compromise. Close your eyes to the possibility inertia has made itself at home. You'll feel it, feel it right to the bone. But you crossed that bridge long ago. In the time of tranquil misgivings. You gave consent to sin by offering up your sons and daughters. Drowning them in the shallow end of dissipated water. Sing hymns all you like. Piety is not for sale. And the angel light that hits the wall is not in the shape of Mary. Evil always figures into these things. Don't you know? Heat rises. Blood falls. So burn your prayers on a stick. Roast them in the campfire. You'll never turn to God until you lie dying. Broken and heaving. Asking for forgiveness. Which a man of cloth will grant. Such a charmed life to leave. Only it's a cheat. A spoonful of circumvention. Making you feel warm and clever as you bleed out. Regrettably, your vacuous heart sailed off on the Greta Garbo and mortgaged your future for such marquee. Banking on the here and now. From this there can be no redemption.

She sits Atop a myrtle bush Wingless She cannot fly But sends out her desire Her future dreams Through the unsuspecting air Her belief In distant generations Borne upon the breeze Hope of the unseen Messaged across the barren lands And am I powerless?

Brindled Beauty: for Greta
He loved Greta Garbo. He’d seen all her movies At the old cinema Or on late night TV. He’d read all the written Books he could find on her. Had photographs of her All over his small house, Some framed, hanging on walls, Some on the mantelpiece, On cupboards, on book shelves, On his bedside table; Her beauty looking out At him all day and night Especially while he Slept in bed with his wife. He even dreamed of her, Dreamt he had made a film With her, which no one saw. Dreamt he had walked with her, Talked with her; held her hand. Dreamt he had slept with her (Sleeping being the one Operative word of all.) Just to be close to her, To smell her, feel her near, Touch her tingling skin. But not commit the sin In his dreams or real life, That little men like him Never copulated With gorgeous goddesses Like Monroe or Garbo, But made love with their wives.

HE LOVED GEAT GARBO.
I That twitch in the schoolgirl’s eye Isn’t caused by snowy mountains. There’s Guildhall in her twisted lip. II I was of three minds. Greta Thunberg took all of them And cloaked them in a yellow hood. III A small part of the pantomime was never Greta’s style. She has miles to go before she lets us sleep. IV Of the things schoolgirls hate The sun is not among them. The blackbird’s wings and the oil fields of Manitoba Are one. V I do not know which to prefer, The thought that they might one day bring out Greta Thunberg bobbleheads Or the fact that bobbleheads exist at all, The fact that we’re ****** Or the fact that we’re enjoying it. VI An indecipherable cause. VII O pigtailed teens of Stockholm, Please remember What Wallace Stevens said About birds of golden feathers And of black.   VIII What is involved in what I know? Like Socrates, I don’t know. But it’s more than 99.9 per cent Of climate scientists could ever dream And less than a signpost To the wrong city in the snow. IX When Greta sailed two weeks to New York She was in a circle of close friends. I bet they ate tinned kippers And had those sweets the Swedish love.   X To cry out sharply is what we do If we are lucky enough to cry. And so I have more compassion For Greta than you know.   Some women have no time. Their children dying Takes up the best portion of the day. XI I can’t remember the part of the campaign trail He rode over to tell a waiting crowd How the size of his equipage Compared to his small hands. There are good reasons why Greta hates his guts. This is not the best of them. XII The river is full of plastic. The thermometer must be rising. XIII It is snowing And it is going to snow.
