I hate white people who stop me from stealing their stuff and bring in the po po who put me in hand cuff. Now I'm in jail cannot post bail eating out of a metal bowl while being ****** in my ******** Then it occurred to me what I am supposed to be so I became a basketball player and changed my name to Lebron James. Chris Bosh wants to be more than homies ever since I was drunk and he groped me he wanted my **** i think he was sick. Spoelstra is an *** I ****** hate him. he needs to die before I cram a basketball in his wife.

White People
761 From Blank to Blank— A Threadless Way I pushed Mechanic feet— To stop—or perish—or advance— Alike indifferent— If end I gained It ends beyond Indefinite disclosed— I shut my eyes—and groped as well ’Twas lighter—to be Blind—

From Blank to Blank
I think everyone dies I truly do Every time they close their eyes They remain motionless for hours Until they are revived Do you disagree? Clearly you do Care to show me your proof So that it may sway me To a more accepted pasture "Well what of their vitality?" "They still move and shiver" "And they breathe as if alive" "Surely if something died" "Their movement would cease" Yes, their heart beats, and yes, they awaken But I truly think they, themselves, leave Why do I arrive at this? You mean how, Through a simple observation I suppose it, at least, to me It began like this: When blackest blanket with yellow dots encircled The sky and the heavens above I found myself watched and groped by the air For someone was watching me When nobody was there.

I stand so proud and tall. With my nose pressed against the wall. I know I was naughty, is this why your punishing me? pssng my pants, you make me get on my knees. Naughty Boy! Naughty Boy you shout. After your done smelling that, I am washing your mouth out! My nose sore from being punished by you. What next? What now are you going to do? the bar of soap inserts my mouth all the way to my throat. I wont be naughty anymore than my privates were groped. I know I looked in your ***** drawer today. Now I am going to really pay. Trying them on I know there for you. I guess this naughty boy had no clue. Putting them on my head and shoving them in my mouth. Still at the same time washing my mouth out. Waiting for you to come back today. I am not scared Iv’e been naughty in every way. No please I am not hungry, don’t make me eat the vegetables. I sit and pout at the kitchen table. forcing them into my mouth and making me swallow. You lead on a leash and I am forced to follow. I am your pet, your naughty little slave. And it’s almost time to play. But we both know what comes first. The cutting of my arms to satisfy your thirst.

Naughty Boy (Written completely random for a naughty girl)
At age 7, I was guilty when I accepted an invitation to go into the apartment of a neighbor He smelled of beer as he groped me. At age 10, I was guilty when I walked home too late because I missed the train He popped out of the bushes exposing himself. At age 12, I was guilty when my uncle forced tongue into my mouth because I could not get away. At age 14, I was guilty when my uncle forced me to sit on his lap while in my bathing suit and I ran away from home. At age 16, I was guilty when my uncle convinced everyone that I was a liar and I quit school. At age 18, I was guilty when I gave birth to my first child, because I was ignorant. At age 20, I was guilty when I saw the cardiologist in the reflection of a lamp ************  and the police laughed at my report. At age 30, I was guilty when my employer trapped me in the elevator to ***** me, because I was his subserviant. At age 36, I was guilty when I earned jujitsu honors but risked going to jail for defending myself. At age 70, I was guilty when a neighbor brought me fruit and grabbed my breast, because I was alone. At age 72, I am guilty of being a ferule woman for 50 years and for NOT be silent!

GUILTY
In the wispy glow of dusk he came mazing through years of husk memory groped his name. Then I remembered. Though drew us apart fate once we were very close inseparable classmate! Seemed so empty even an hour without him more together more the happy we bonded too in dream. Shared we two same liking and taste loved to do living without the rest. I have come to close a deal in his eyes was sadness spread *hope you remember still the promise we made.* I remembered. when we last met he said *let’s seal this with trust must come to meet his heart’s pal the one departing first.*

Some things exist behind curtains of experience.   Those whose tongues have tasted the holy fire know the touch of something divine. Those who have laid eyes on their sleeping bodies, and walked away to places unknown, can grasp the idea of an inbetween. Those who have groped in the darkness for something to believe in again, who have longingly looked over the cliff edge, know that true despair does exist. As for me, I know that true fear can come in the form of footsteps behind you on the empty street. The person at the bar who insists on hollow compliments and free drinks. Friends who scoff at your anger for men who yell out their passenger side windows about the treasures beneath your clothes. True fear can come in the middle of the afternoon, as you face off against the four floor staircase to your apartment, when your steps are echoed by the man in 2b who has a wife, son, and a taste for resistance. Don't tell me I'm overreacting, when the single most terrifying thing I can do is walk alone under the street lamps. Don't tell me I'm too uptight just because I've learned that flattery can come with a horrifying price tag. Don't tell me I'm wrong just because you don't understand. Look me in the eye when you have waited until a security guard can walk you to your car.  When you have held your breath in a shared elevator.  When you have lowered your eyes to the men who yell obscenities at you, because standing up for yourself could prove deadly.   Look me in the eye when you have held back the curtain of experience, and walked in the shoes of someone who lives every moment knowing this could be the day someone decides to steal from me what is only mine to give. Then look me in the eye when you tell someone of your wound, and they reprimand you for daring to walk this world as a woman.

yesterday, I caught my words crying not out but within. cryptic and concealed no more as the rain poured up and the ice melted shut. The muscles isotonic strain kindles heart filled hurtful strength as endurance accelerates. Wasted ones and fives on groped lonely women. The ******* forgot the fishbowl and his keys on government steps but remembered the leaky wineglass. Total recall enforced the key ring's silhouette rolls on by looking for the keys to grab a broom and clean up this mess of market debt and ajar markets. Ceiling tiles mist and swirl and wait for mercy to strike again

1062 He scanned it—staggered— Dropped the Loop To Past or Period— Caught helpless at a sense as if His Mind were going blind— Groped up, to see if God was there— Groped backward at Himself Caressed a Trigger absently And wandered out of Life.

Aged Adolescence
Howls in the night cross the threshold of savagery Coordinated hate of a hundred jackboots stomping faces in the streets Storefronts smashed Crushed glass crunching under the feet of unbridled violence Doors bashed in Swinging sledges smash Women and children dragged kicking and screaming from their homes Beaten unconscious then beaten while unconscious Clothes rended flesh roughly groped ******* mashed by laughing barbarians with teeth made of knives Innocence of a generation ***** in a single evening Ransacking hands strangle the wealth of a culture One thousand synagogues in flames light cast magnified in the carpet of crystals sparkle of hellish brilliance Ninety one lives snuffed they were the lucky ones Avoided the camps where greater horrors were wrought in the forges of torment from the pounding of flesh beneath hatred like hammers

Kristallnacht
when we met, it was tipsy tuesday and donnie had swollen fingers and nate sank into his plaid frock and dropped his shadow on the patio like a heavy slug, and the flies cavorted in the vortex of our subtext as the night skies spat stars at our foreheads. you were beautiful; too beautiful then. i was smitten, i was tossed on stormy seas, unsick. i was healed. the world spun filth and dull glamour but your face hurled fireworks and my mind leaned into my heart and i knew i loved you. whoever you turned out to be. i babbled and groped, as the inertia of falling, filled my sails and I was purposefully adrift - in your brown-black eyes; as a dog fetched a frisbee for an illiterate. and i think i bit my lip a bit. I saw you for the first time. for the last time in my life and was never the same. my heart, now more precise. you had fierce speech underneath your sweet speak and long hair. i had you in my soul's yurt on a plain of windswept pavilions with free horses and costly remoteness. i was ' there ' less and more somewhere else alone with the perfect you reading my lips as they tremored delight of it. i babbled speechless. i remember you tossing your locks at my cage. and i was set free. please add me to your wishlist and complete me.

What was her name? **** I can’t remember. It was a boy’s name made feminine with a little “i” at the end like maybe hearing it would make you think of some fat guy making pizzas until you see it spelled out or until it becomes attached to her lips and hair and skin. The “i” was not dotted with a little heart, (not her style at all) but I should have a picture in a box some where with more pictures. I don’t. I’ve got little notes, tiny thoughts scribbled on empty match book covers, on the backs of pretentious business cards, in the borders of the mutilated, amputated flesh of decrepit used up yellow pages,   ripped from a dead and disjointed phone book. I woke up from this dream and groped for something to scrawl on, anything, because it seemed significant at 2:38 am. In the desert somewhere, (I’ve never even been) you were looking out the window and the way the parched dry light crackled around you you might have been an angel or a sign partially occluded by glass advertising something I could never afford like family or god when suddenly you were not a silhouette, not back lit, but glowing. You were so in love, with who I don’t know, and you went into free fall back onto the bed pulled your knees up to your chest and kicked your legs giggling. I was part dead, half ghost and still happy that you were so happy. I said, “you’re pregnant?” knowing the way you know things without really having a way of knowing in a dream. You laughed again grabbed your little dog up in your arms, (I’ve no idea where the pup came from), and baby-whispered, “You’re going to cut the umbilical, aren’t you?” and I woke with the image of that mongrel chewing through the cord. I am waiting at the pharmacy and the… technician, is reading the cryptic symbols penned in indiscernible Latin, my prescription. She is not beautiful but very fuckable And in my mind I am constructing an image of her ****** likening   the shape, size, color, etc., to her mouth, when I see my own writing on the back through her precise fingers. The tech,   she is holding a snapshot of her. It might as well be a picture of me vomiting or ************ or defecating. This is what I have left, my version of a photo, my dream, scrawled on the back of my medicine. **** getting better.   I ****** it from her hand. I leave fast.  I will never go back. This is no chemical imbalance. This is not my inheritance. The loss and pain, sometimes, that's the pill we need to swallow.

506 He touched me, so I live to know That such a day, permitted so, I groped upon his breast— It was a boundless place to me And silenced, as the awful sea Puts minor streams to rest. And now, I’m different from before, As if I breathed superior air— Or brushed a Royal Gown— My feet, too, that had wandered so— My Gypsy face—transfigured now— To tenderer Renown— Into this Port, if I might come, Rebecca, to Jerusalem, Would not so ravished turn— Nor Persian, baffled at her shrine Lift such a Crucifixial sign To her imperial Sun.

He touched me, so I live to know
In his brain, the metallic sweetness of the blood ***** Because at night he strides on a tightrope. Balancing between insanity and reality. He takes pills cause they say it'll help his anatomy. The clean flick of a knife against a throat. He staggers and falls into the murky moat. Don't blame him. He's drowning in his own sorrow. They swallowed his hope for a better tomorrow. They locked him up in a casket. Tied a bow around it like a basket. But he's not six feet under. He's stuck here, starting to plunder. Don't blame him. He knows that his past is drenched in black. They told him he stabbed his mother in the back. He feels their blood dripping down his fingers. But still he can never remember what lingers. The men in the long white coats talk about trees, and cars, and trains, and boats. But all he can remember is the room that he's in. His vest held together by a chain and a pin. Don't blame him. He's hugging the padded walls. Dreaming of the day where his sanity calls. He's tired, he knows that his mind is already expired. Yet still every night, he strides on a tightrope as his essence is groped. Everyday he's on the verge of insanity and reality. He makes sure they don't change his anatomy. His white vest restrains him. It tends to drain him. Everyday he dreams in blood. But then again how could you blame him. They'll eat him alive before his life claims him. Don't Blame Him.

Don't Blame Him.
Everything was fine. The friendship was steady Our organs were just in line Mistake from my brain was ready. A night, a saudade night. I was vulnerable so was my thought At last thinking a sleep would just feel right. Well, I got closer to the trap my brain brought. An hour later, I found myself in in a room. A familiar one, my chaps were there too. I looked up I felt doomed. Talked to my brain, yeah this is cool. Well, we were all together, happy and bloomed. A friendly limerence, that's all we had for each other. The chimera felt me like a perfume. Suddenly, I decided to leave. Wanted to freshen up my attire. But was staring at myself with pure grieve. Heard a sudden din, was a person I admire. He stood there, just stared. Tried interrogating him. once and twice. But the movements were none, just eyes with care. Now it was not just him, I too stood there just as ice. Then his fingers caught my upper arm, pulled me close to him. His lips with thirst touch mine with charm. Mine joined them too and weak were my limbs. Merrily opened my eyes. A weird curve ran across my face. He stepped back, satisfyingly sighs. Looked at me, smiled, gone were his trace. Sudden shriek woke me up. Perverse was what I felt. But my brain had already ******* everything up. Amity was surrounded by this wierd belt. I reached, where my organs retreated. Walked, each step filled with guilt. The door of awkwardness met me and greeted. stretched out my hand to open it with brain filled with jilt. Sudden jolt, I felt. A face, made me nervy It was him, eyes with care and a smile with stealth. Greeted him usually, but feelings were lively. But I sure can't deny, That I never wished it to be true. Talk about it? I can't even try. But want that feel of caress, just like a leaf groped by dew

Two blind men met. Said one: "This earth Has been a blackout from my birth. Through darkness I have groped my way, Forlorn, unknowing night from day. But you - though War destroyed your sight, Still have your memories of Light, And to allay your present pain Can live your golden youth again." Then said the second: "Aye, it's true, It must seem magical to you To know the shape of things that are, A women's lips, a rose, a star. But therein lies the hell of it; Better my eyes had never lit to love of bluebells in a wood, Or daffodils in dancing mood. "You do not know what you have lost, But I, alas! can count the cost - Than memories that goad and gall, Far better not to see at all. And as for love, you know it not, For pity is our sorry lot. So there you see my point of view: 'Tis I, my friend, who envy you. And which was right still puzzles me: Perhaps one should be blind to see.

I groped for him before I knew
How dare society make us women feel like Our very own bodies is a prison, To be locked up behind the metal bars of our ******* Tied up by the chains of our curvy figures And the sentence lying between our thighs. And the sentence is brutal. Consent is no longer existent When the *** is too tempting for a man to say no And for you to say no. Our butts slapped, Chests groped, Cheeks pinched, Thighs squeezed, In this prison we had the decency to call our own body We are handcuffed to the degrading appetite of a man. Women are not a display of things to touch We are not a dessert menu for a man’s hunger To be ordered by catcalling: Want a taste of a woman’s behind? **** that *** A taste of **** Oh, baby, put on a show for us! Or just the full course meal- Hey girl, ow ow owwww! It is about time we strong women break free. The jailor of men- I stole the key. It is about time we change out of our prison uniforms of Bikinis and mini skirts and stilettos And break down the locks that confined us. Our prison sentence is just about up, And when we are let loose, Us women will no longer stand for such debasing behaviors. And when we’re free, It’ll be time to teach the men a little lesson This cage of our body does not define us, boys, Maybe try finding the prisoner behind the bars- Her personality, Charming smile, And brilliant intellect, Instead of demeaning our existence, Objectifying our importance- We are not your tools, your toys. We are humans, too, you know, With- get this- feelings. Try manners and kindness rather than Feeling and groping your way to a woman’s heart. We are not a play museum- we are the artifact, The masterpiece- Mona Lisa, Starry Night, the Sistine Chapel- You must stand behind the red velvet ropes and perform What the English language calls respect, With a thing also known as consent. This- my body- is also known as my body, It is not his, it is not hers, and most importantly, It is not yours. Please try to understand this- I know, it’s super complicated. And if you gain anything from this, let it be this: We are not here to satisfy you- Women are not prisoners to a man’s every need. We are not objects- no- And we deserve to be heard.

I left the home of the meadowlark For a land found more oft' in my dreams. A more noble land than my native park, With its rubble of meaningless schemes. And the song that the meadowlark sang to me In my heart will forevermore burn. I can only say that it seemed to be, "Once you've gone you can never return." So I set my course for the highest mount On a path where few have tread, To the great unknown where the masters roam, Through the valley of the dead. Neither bard nor sage ever wrote a page Of diabolical lore That could ever compare to the evil found there, Past the gates to the valley of horror. Men had left their bones as stepping stones Which glowed with a phosphorus light. They lighted the way for my feet of clay As I stumbled through the night. But I sank in the mire of my own desire While I groped along in the dark. And I thought I would die to the mocking cry Of that dreadful meadowlark. Then the helping hand of a dying man Reached to pull me back on the way. And I rested there in the August air Where I longed for the light of day. And I sang a song as I traveled on In the light of a new day's sun. 'Twas a song of hope I could reach the slope Where great battles had been won. When I reached the glen at the mountains end Then I knew my journey was done. I took pleasures there and with utmost care I sought for a course back home. And now I knew that the bird sang true; I had aged in the course of time. And the past I had scorned; now I deeply mourned And with sadness learned his rhyme. Although your road runs true, you can never undo A life born of your own desire. Nor, ever return from a destiny earned By deeds lit from the souls own fire. And the song that the meadowlark sang to me In my heart still continues to burn. I can only say that it seemed to be "Once you've gone you can never return."

And I sang a song as I traveled on In the light of a new day's sun. 'Twas a song of hope I could reach the slope Where great battles had been won. When I reached the glen at the mountains end Then I knew my journey was done. I took pleasures there and with utmost care I sought for a course back home. And now I knew that the bird sang true; I had aged in the course of time. And the past I had scorned; now I deeply mourned And with sadness learned his rhyme. Although your road runs true, you can never undo A life born of your own desire. Nor, ever return from a destiny earned By deeds lit from the souls own fire. And the song that the meadowlark sang to me In my heart still continues to burn. I can only say that it seemed to be "Once you've gone you can never return."

Lone seabird in a late dawning, Sickles the gray rays of the sun, Here on a ridge I can see aways, Skerries, blasted by seas parade. The moon fades as sun is rising, My hair is groped in wind on fire, In the late morning suns' glowing, My breath uncatched as the wave. Lone seabird in old sky forlorning, Searches for a proud fish breaking, In the frosts of broke tides trawling, My heart sails above gusts keening.

Late Dawning
meeting you was drowning without water, i didn’t know i was already dead my body was stronger before my tongue tasted your name and kissing you was like cliff diving to meet cement your fingerprints left bruises without a warranty, i can no longer find my skin somewhere between lost and found, your hands are ghosts around my throat i choke on my own steps you stain the bathroom tile like i’ve had too much to drink loving you was like eating a cereal box of sea glass, and still searching for the prize at the bottom my fingertips bleed broken promises sometimes i sleep on the couch to avoid the absence of your shadow in my sheets my sheets still ask about you so do my parents i rehearse words you’ll never hear my insecurities crawl out of your one-word responses and tell me i’m not worth more for your love of multiples, i could have been anyone your hands carry the baggage of “ew she’s my best friend” i’ve lost count of all the ‘shes’ you were not searching for my heartbeat when your hands groped my chest i’ve had trouble finding my pulse lately i need a receipt for our memories but they’re stuck to me like a shirt i can’t get over my shoulders i can’t get over your smile – the way the corners curled like bare willow branches dancing in the wind to our song it was running your parseltongue through my veins, and i’d run out the high for days i think i’m still running, but my feet are stuck in the same **** city we met your face is plastered post-it notes on all the places we had our firsts as if i need reminders you used to look in my eyes and mean it i visit museums to remind myself beautiful things have history too no one ever tells you that goodbye tastes like empty air, tastes like looking in the mirror and not being able to swallow yourself i bear the scars of your touch, poetry scratched into my skin like tattoos i remember the first time you hit me your palm crashed my cheek like a chance seismic stamp and i liked it you told me, “run while you can i’m dangerous,” but i stuck around to be buried in the dirt of the grave you dug me with “hello” sometimes i’m convinced we only hug so you can check my hands for a shovel

What did Sisyphus know About a slippery slope; Shoulder to stone His feet groped, Shifting inclinations; Each step consequential, A mythic joke. Wiggle the toes, Feel for the edge, Sliding is inevitable. We have no victims On fallacious slopes. Which lost hair defines bald; Which millimeter makes you tall; How many dimes makes one well off; Which freckle makes you cute or beautiful; Which ounce makes you fat, From thin to Bottacelli. Where does one begin? Removing sentiments, One at a time, You find you straddle The love/hate line, A line drawn on a mountain top, And splitting  your Sisyphus rock.

Slippery Slopes
Never to be as one had hoped, man killed all it groped Got no one to care about, is that so hard to grasp? What made you, makes me, so very dense Precision is ****** on by your own kind Sometimes awkward, subdermal mind Built with one universal command Synapses wired, linked, cold-fired Intent on destroying this So gone on the upbeat ****** in the backseat Dipsomaniacal Makes life so Always so Hard on Whisky Drunk Am I

Retro-Revert
I've had my share of pervs. I've been groped. I've been peeped. I've seen them watch **** I've watched them play with themselves. I've seen them drunk and hanging with women. Yeah, I've had my share of pervs. The only thing that's unchecked on the Perv's checklist is: Getting ***** And I pray to God it stays unchecked.
