"gurney" poems
I've dreamed of Irreplaceable when the light is strong, hoping when the blackout turns I'd sleep on something else. I need to escape my senses and experience different sensations, instead of water running through my fingertips but acid in my veins; Not soft dancing grass and flowers or trees that cool me down, but rocks and boulders who sharpen and strip me of my flesh. Seems like I'm on ADD can't help but move around so much, strap me down to the gurney and tear open my painful chest.

Crushed Feelings
If the perfect last end of the wrong thing before and after the last could be molded faster than a fastener then why not return to the gurney and be wheeled about on a short-term journey through the keyhole?

s'wat?
I think about old faces, you were a friend to me then I try to think harder though, where have those memories been? More faces coming through, sticking less with every pass I can't say that I would hope that these new memories last. Not in a sad time, not stuck in a place of hurt. I just feel like I can't remember the good times to weigh the worth. These new times, are something hollow, empty and void of feeling No sleepless nights, but I find my self always staring towards the ceiling So revealing, makes me notice my true emotions deep inside Always telling jokes and laughing but right now we rewind. I think about old faces, you were a friend to me then I try to think harder though, where have those memories been? More faces coming through, sticking less with every pass I can't say that I would hope that these new memories last. People say memories fade, others say memories last I'd like to think that I could leave memories in the past I don't want to cling to them like that's the only thing I have But is it really bad? I guess you can say I'm home sick Not missing my residence but missing where I've been Reminiscing about the things that I have left on my journey But they're not on their deathbeds, they're just on a gurney Now do I save them, make sure that they are never forgotten? If they start to fade for new memories should I stop them? I feel like I need to answer quick, like I'm running out of time I could keep stressing but right now, we rewind. I think about old faces, you were a friend to me then I try to think harder though, where have those memories been? More faces coming through, sticking less with every pass I can't say that I would hope that these new memories last. I miss the days where I didn't have to miss my days Where I could express myself in different ways But this is today. Prattling words to my self Not sharing my feelings, not sharing the wealth I vent in stealth, not letting all the friends of me hear it As if I'm ashamed, like I think my enemy is my spirit You're hearing me in these lyrics, I'm embodied in the words you see This is me in these lyrics, feelings and words, you see? So if you're feeling my words, that means you're feeling me So if you think that I'm a clown, this is the realest me So this is real you see, no false words from the mind I could keep on going but right now, we rewind. I think about old faces, you were a friend to me then I try to think harder though, where have those memories been? More faces coming through, sticking less with every pass I can't say that I would hope that these new memories last. Where does the time go? I feel it slipping by me I feel like my biggest problem now is I keep rewinding So you may find me, reminiscing about the time before Or catch me on a good day and I'll be rhyming more Keeping myself in good spirits, while I find the path Watching my life just add up, because well, life is math Memories fade, because we subtract those things from the past But it only happens to us, because we have something to add So nothing is bad. Memory? I'll live all the good times with it in me How much space do I have for the good times? Infinity. No more time to rewind, I guess I have nothing left to say. I guess the only thing left to do now is. Press Play.

They've been working on this for years Inside the government To try a replace the brain of man With that of a purple eggplant This idea to me sounds genius If you know what it is that I mean People round here might start making sense Pass the veggies if you please They called all the top notched scientists And vegetarians throughout the land To see what would be the best variety In this eggplant transplant experiment They settled on the aubergine Great Brittan's joy and pride When it comes to the perfect eggplant Those Limey's will not be denied They were afraid if they went to the private sector That person would surely be missed So they grabbed someone unsuspecting Inside of the government They told the low level employee A bit of truth mixed with a little white lie They needed him for his vast understanding and knowledge Plus they'd be serving cookies on the side They added a little something to the cookie dough That knocked the governmental genius to his knees Plopped him down on the gurney ...Let the experiment proceed if you please They cracked his skull wide open Where upon they couldn't believe their eyes Right there inside of his cranium Already an eggplant did reside

Eggplant Transplant Experiment
The weather plots his journey Town to town in dead of night Fields dead and on a gurney He comes in to make it right A rainmaker, people call him A psuedo-scammer others say He sells himself as godlike He comes quick and does not stay He tells people what they wish for He beats the storm in to their town He seeds their minds with his tall stories He promises more green than brown Like an evangelistic angel He beats the weather to the ground He's a salesman like no other He picks their pockets with no sound A rainmaker, just a scammer He works the towns where nothing lives He is an alchemist non-gratta He always takes and never gives He sells snake oil and concoctions He is a shaman in disguise He promises rain where none has fallen There is more moisture in the farmers eyes He takes credit for a rainfall He promises gold where once was straw He's a rumplestiltskin with their feelings He sells them only what they wish they saw He may believe in what he tells them He always puts his name out on a stake But, can he truly make the skies open That is a choice the desperate make

Surgery Went Just Fine.
An ad in the LA Times Pictured a jewelry store in Beverly Hills Somewhere off Wilshire A golden band modeled after an Egyptian original Mother wanted it and so we went We sat on tuffets of crushed velvet and She bought it replacing her wedding band Which I never did find. It was pretty but what other significance this meant regarding her husband she did not tell She was struck walking on an off-ramp on the 10. Heading east? How did she get there? I asked her in the hospital On the gurney she shook her head And said she didn’t know. That’s Alzheimer’s for you. The ring is gone. Father took his off well before she passed and left it on the top of his dresser.

Egyptian Wedding Ring
I painted you. With trembling, amateur precision, I suffered each line on your face. Each fleck of sun, Your candid smile, Your immediate beauty in the foreground Of an exceptional ocean. Stumbling blindly through the days, Fumbling for the switch In a punch-drunk, love-sick afternoon. Apart from you, Stripped, exposed, Laid prone on the gurney With my skull in a vice And a fist to my stomach. I can barely stand because of you. I painted you this afternoon So I could toil in your gaze. Pray I am an interesting splatter, A noticeable blight; A happy accident on your page.

Happy Accident
“I’ll see you later.” My Father said as they wheeled him off on the gurney. “Good Luck, Pops.” my heart in my throat, as he went on his last journey. He left us in that hot July, when the heat waves’ course had run. I wandered in shock and disbelief like a world without a Sun. For a long time after Pops had passed I struggled with depression. Life went on for others; at least that was my impression. Yet even in my darkest night I had my memories. Sometimes, in the deepest sleep, Pops would return to me. In his deep rich Irish Brogue he’d speak from beyond the vale. My Memories of unconditional Love can never fade or pale. To have been loved as we two loved; there is but one Love greater. As I woke and rejoined the work-day world I whispered “I’ll see You Later.”

I’ll see you Later
In Your name, there is healing Cities with an epidemic illnesses Stands like the Mt. Horeb Mighty in posture forever As Your stretch stretch Your hands Leprosy’s from every nation cast down Desperate heart finds, its home In the green pasture besides the still water The night will be as it is But the morning bring great deliverance At some point of, there will be songs Of thankfulness from the inside Your love for us never fails and cease Springs of water flows like fountain From Your grace to my place Im once frail and sick but im release Far from the medicine and gurney Your faithfulness in my life Brings tremendous miracles in many ways I just I just declare it in faith and love I say to the world You are Healer A great Physician of the Father I experience it right now, the touch Tomorrow will be a testimony like no other

Meningitis And Pneumonia??
At preschool last morning, when first class began Our teacher Miss Fortune, has entered the den And promptly asked us, the pure younglings To write on the devil that make us do things So teacher sat down, and we tykes got engaged And committedly filled page after page As we took up an oath, us the urchin, the youth To speak the whole truth, and nothing but truth So first rose the young boy Timothy Veet And confessed all the text that he etched on the sheet How last week he attended the birthday of Sheila And got high on some hemp, and two shots of tequila As he sat, quickly stood his companion wee Tom And he told how he broke to the principal’s home Where he gingerly snatched, like a cat burglar A computer, some cash, and antique silverware But who took the whole cake, was shy Rosaline As she stood up and gestured to Billy, her kin And with timid resolve, and an ear-to-ear grin Said: “He is the devil that makes me do things…” Miss Fortune, chalk white, and clearly distressed Was rushed on a gurney, to the ER no less Our innocence wither, like a flower well hidden So why keep insisting on calling us children

The devil within (a poem by my dad)
Arrival final destination, Welcome to Huntsville you see, Enter by the back door, Then you go to eat, Traditional fare, if you like, Burger wrapped in blood, The blood red of ketchup, matches the blood on your hands, You are young, dressed in virtual innocence, Do the crime, you do the time, Is it worthy of eternity, Since break of day you wait, Waiting for impending death, 6 P.M It is the evening of your darkest day, For vile sin, with life you pay, What thoughts traverse through your young head, As tears trickle and pleas long gone, For clemency calls rolled onto deaf ears, You were the big man so they said, A victim of cruel circumstance, Collared by forensic drift, Evidence grabbed, Poor boy, At a cost of $86.08, more than you made on that fateful day, Led to the gurney in shackles and chain, Chains weighed heavier than conscience, Conscience ****** your frightened brain, Are you moved for your final confession, Ideal for the papers for in a press release, The last words he did say, 'Thank God for giving me life, see you soon, Sir, For it's my final day, Of course, I forgot you know that anyway', I'm Sorry, so sorry, Father forgive me, Waited almost a lifetime for this his final day, The row of death so welcoming, The great escape maybe, Visage of executioner, Looks deep into your soul, While you stare vacantly into his eyes, The ultimate sensation of pain as the needle quickly enters your vein, As nerve endings and your body die, Reflection of immaturity, Bad life, sad life, consequence of situation, No life had, no love lost!

(Scene 2, Take 1) Off their table and into his gurney Wheeling you out I start you on your next journey. With a push of a button he unlocked the latch Slipping you now into the back and through the hatch Metallic flakes embedded in the darkness Sporting twenty two inch chrome rims He earned it, it's his pleasure, and it’s his pride You were the second to lie in the back and go in his new ride. Thoughts of what you will look like run through my visions. I only know your twenty years of age and if you look into my past And turned back the clock you would see on the top of the page Where my first son lost his mom only three years older From the same cause sixteen years before. Pulling behind to the parlors back door We slide you out and your wheels landed on the garage floor Pulling the chain now I lock us all in and with no escape Through the windows no one can peek, not even through the drape With a count of three we place you on your next table Your remains are contained in a white disaster bag That bears a zipper with your name on the tag. Ever so slowly pulling it down with eyes closed till the end I prayed hard with devotion and with pure respect Once I saw what was inside my screams were muffled by a silent gasp Eyes were opened to only see I now was just beginning to inspect Cause I'm now looking hard for something familiar to detect. Scanning for the cause he made me stop and with it a long pause Tearing and scaring the ****** flesh of my mind I then felt Upon the sights, the true power of the reapers claws. On a new strange quest, I see now, I'm taking a test Mentor with a grin on his face I can't contest I don't complain for I watched him get his fill. Knowing this is the greatest and now to date, I now only hope when we get done tonight I'll get an A in the end On my test. (To be continued.....) P.S. Buckle up for Scene 3 Take 1 it's all about sewing him up an putting the pieces back together for casket viewing.... (CARSr. 2012)

I woke up on the gurney with pain that robs my breath. Broken ribs and a row of sutures running down between my ******* Strange to still be breathing when my heart is dead and gone In my chest Abio-Cor stubbornly pumps on. Was it really just a week ago sitting with my friends  in class when first I felt the stabbing pain. when each breath came as a gasp? My teacher called an ambulance He saved my life, friends say. A muscle killing virus caused my pulse to fade away. One hundred over forty I was quickly losing ground. I would need a donor transplant but none compatible was found. I’m a high school girl, just seventeen -I should be college bound Not fighting for each breath and destined for a plot of ground. The surgeon asked my parents if he should try Abio-Cor an artificial heart replacement in which researchers placed great store. My crying parents, grasped the straw consenting he should try. They would operate immediately- delay would mean I’d die. So now I’m in recovery with my artificial heart. My fiends call me the Tin Girl, because of my replacement part. It will be a long recovery- seven weeks if fate is kind.. I share my feelings with a heart still learning to be mine

The Tin Girl
Friday, 1211h A man collapses at lunch and his vitals spin away like marbles: pulse, breath, pallor rolling about on the floor out of reach of the heroes who shout his name, flash their pagers like the batman symbol. Someone get a doctor in here, now. The old Vets shuffle out of the room comment blearily on the poor guy I guess after the War things do not phase you the same but perhaps they didn't notice the hue of his lips. And then he stabilizes, and I fall apart aghast, aback, there is still tuna sandwich in my mouth ground by my teeth into a diamond to monument the recovery. The gurney rolls by, I know him. My stomach falls to Ground Floor in relief and despair. That's the thing about long term care these men are clever, they teach you so well how to live that you forget they're supposed to die.

The nature of the job.
A recipe I wrote one of those in my head today; some of it was half-baked, but what is edible will say: something about instructions, something about parts making a whole, something about convection, something about mixing in a bowl, something about dough and something about kneading something about confections, something about breathing. An epitaph I wrote one of those in my head today; some of it was rotten, what wasn't will rise and say: something about a journey, something about fate, something about love and something about hate, something about laying on a gurney and something about decay, something about destiny, something about history, then it might yawn and lay back in its grave A pamphlet I wrote one of those in my head today; some parts were mute, others that weren't will speak and say: something about tolerance, something about abuse, something about inhalants and something about a noose. A brochure I wrote one of those in my head today; some of it was fake, but what is real will last and say: something about a lawyer, something about curruption, something about justice and how it serves a function, something about admittance, something about plastic surgery and breast reduction, and a catholic priest mumbling something about perjury. A eulogy I wrote one of those in my head today; some of it was dead, but what was alive will stand and say: something about a life and something about living, something about a wife and something about a thing worth giving, something about a family and something about foes; something about winning and something about woes. A book I wrote one of those in my head today; some of it was filth; but what was clean will shine and say: something about character, something about freedom, something about development and something about respect something about supplement, something about unity, something about revolution and how I think the world should be. A song I wrote one of those in my head today; but it was a bird and it flew away, If all that's left is just one dying wing it would flap around on the ground and try to sing: something in near-pefect pitch something bluesy and about a ***** then probably something about flight and finally something about a bright white light. A poem I wrote one of those in my head today; the lines were seeds I planted before the cold; some froze out, some took hold but what remains grows bold and will say: something about a heart, and how you had it from the start; something about sunlight, and how you make it seem less bright; something about the wet wet rain something about willingness and something about refrain.

A book I wrote one of those in my head today; some of it was filth; but what was clean will shine and say: something about character, something about freedom, something about development and something about respect something about supplement, something about unity, something about revolution and how I think the world should be. A song I wrote one of those in my head today; but it was a bird and it flew away, If all that's left is just one dying wing it would flap around on the ground and try to sing: something in near-pefect pitch something bluesy and about a ***** then probably something about flight and finally something about a bright white light. A poem I wrote one of those in my head today; the lines were seeds I planted before the cold; some froze out, some took hold but what remains grows bold and will say: something about a heart, and how you had it from the start; something about sunlight, and how you make it seem less bright; something about the wet wet rain something about willingness and something about refrain.

Today I woke up angry And by the time I feel better it'll be too late to save me While the voice on the TV sang the ******** reasons why they think I did it. I got my snap back turned back Ready to make a head snap back When I let my rifle crack Everyone will know I did it. They will say I am mentally ill When they were the ones who gave me the **** pill Wrote depression as the cause on the itemized bill Then send my *** out for another refill. They turned the neighborhood into a war zone When the cops came to my home I would have come freely had they phoned Instead they had guns drawn, ready to unload. Hook me up to a gurney Stick me with a poison needle to send me on my final journey While a group of people look upon me Never once believing my story. The truth is, the bullet was meant for my own head But I got scared and pointed it at the window instead I shot a three year old girl as she slept in her bed When it was my own life I wanted to end. Today I woke up angry Today is the day they are going to hang me The death knell sings all around me Life's final reminder of the ******** reasons I gave not to live it.

Missed Lead
I, have issues. But probably not the kind you think. Mine were created by my father and big sister. By their relationship. I have strived for a better relationship to be better at everything than her. But I've given up. I no longer see the point When you're sixteen years old And you're more mature than your forty-three year old father. Even so I'm terrified I'll end up like my sister. Albeit she's doing well now She's a teacher and is happy and, she hates our fathers guts. I don't blame her though when you're father calls you a ***** And accuses you of sleeping around because you go to school early to get help. I can see why. It doesn't help when he sides with his sister-in-law And he tells you to "respect your elders" even though she tried to burn you with a firework. I do blame her however for that dark cloud over my birthday. See the night I turned ten she took those pills. She drank that strawberry Hill Boonesfarm. She tried to **** herself. But see I'm the only one who remembers the date I remember every detail of that night. Every image Every feeling, Everything. I remember the red and blue flashing lights. I remember the gurney I remember the cold of the night, until I went numb that is. I have no respect for my father when you do that to a child how could you. But I am terrified of that. Terrified I'll end up like her that I'll break that I'll be the one on the floor unconscious. He was trying to do better but I think he's given up too. And while my greatest fear is that I'll be like my sister. My second greatest is that I'll end up with someone like my father.

I can still see the lights flashing off the walls of the Crossroads Cafe the red and blue turrets spinning gyroscopically as they loaded the old guy in the ambulance   sliding the gurney in like a tray of bread into the oven   but that old guy ain’t getting cooked and coming out smelling fresh   they worked on him ten minutes on that ***** diner linoleum   while our food got cold   three of us, at least, punched in 911 on our cells, all being told by the dispatch   the paramedics were already on their way   like maybe someone had a crystal ball and knew the ancient diner   was going to fall flat on the floor when he got up to pay his check (for $4.88 I think)   I could see three quarters on the Formica his silver goodbye to the world   his gift to some faceless waitress who would not sleep that night without an extra couple of beers because his face,  contorted and staring into the florescent haze above him, would still be in her head when she closed her eyes…   after the cops and the paramedics disappeared into the night   I ate what was left of my cold eggs and hash   when I got up to pay, my chest felt tight, only for a second, under that same buzzing light,   when I crossed the spot where the old guy had lain   a fat roach made its way across the floor through the last somber slobber the man would ever drip   I crushed him casually, remembering   I had forgotten the tip

death at the diner
You know as well as I do that internet dating can have its ups and downs and thus, after so many futile meetings and tragic misadventures in a domestic UK situation, I decided to spread my wings and so I logged on to an Australian website for lonely kangaroo lovers yes it was www.blackstump-legover.com.au where no holes were barred. And I soon struck up a promising friendship with someone who sounded like a real goer, a total slapper, with no morals whatsover judging from the photo she posted taken with a mobile phone up her skirt which showed her **muffin ***** as well as what she had eaten for breakfast yesterday, poking its head out. We finally agreed to meet behind the old dunny in the park where the abos go to exchange their social security vouchers for crack ******* or a bottle of Castlemain XXXX or a quick one up each others' bots in spite of the pong on a sunny arvo. You can imagine how effing disappointed I was when she arrived on a trailer attached to her grandson's ute strapped to a battered gurney (and almost insensate) but still ready for a bit of backdoor action but not from me, no sirree, thank you very much mate: I might be desperate, but I would have had to have clipped my nose shut with a clothes peg to get anywhere near her and my gag reflex simply couldn't cope. So I bravely dragged the gurney over to the convenient gap in the fence overlooking the mighty ravine and with a gentle shove I sent her to that sweet place where peace can be found and I can still hear her scream as she bounced off the rocks accusing me of being illegitimate before silence reigned and I smiled in joy. It only goes to show, O my friends, that there are female dogs of the most hideous kind on every sodding continent on this dear planet of ours; and I may as well stick to a handful of Nivea cream and a Kleenex, at least the odour is wholesome.

It having been decided, herein is pronounced. Let them know the number of days; let them count the number of days and the count shall be 180. Day 1 let him strike his head with his fists and call it "stupid". Day 5 let the vomiting begin without surcease. Let him dress for work as if he can. Let him park and never drive beyond Day 10. Let him pass out at the toilet. Let him shed 100 pounds and all his hair. He shall suffer such indignities as appertain until he is brought to tears before his eldest son of whom he shall ask, "Do you believe in miracles?" Let there be no reprieve, neither for the holidays. Let him wander out into the snow without a coat and utter, "So beautiful. So beautiful." All this in due course to precede the final 3. The son and he shall smoke a last cigarette on the porch. He shall proceed to the gurney and not see home again. Let them gather at the hospice room. Let him suffer terminal rage thus shall he be manhandled by the sons. On that day he shall be bedridden by narcotic. Let him fall into persistent incoherence. They shall play the New World by Dvorak.   He shall not hear. They shall gather for the Rosary over him. He shall not hear. The eldest son shall vow to stay at his side nor shall he sleep for 72 hours. The son shall not permit the end to come. The son shall take his hand and say "Only God takes it away." And when the room is empty but for them he shall sing softly "Today While the Blossoms Still Cling to the Vine" He shall not hear. Let them all tell him it is okay to die. Let the eldest son protest, "It is not okay to die." In the final hours he shall struggle again thus to be manhandled by the sons. Then amid his incoherence he shall look the eldest in the eyes and solemnly say "I love you." These shall be his last words. Let them check his toes for signs of life. Let the breathing come infrequently. Let the breathing cease. Let the son remain until they pull away the sheet and display him in his nakedness at last. All this to be accomplished January 15 in the year of Our Lord.

Laying naked Just beside, intertwined Panting, smiling, lieing another accomplishment of mine To have it, take it, ruin Something so precious as a body Another meat machine with needs Deseases, urges, weakness Wanting only the fleshy salts and juices I ****** you, now you are... Unless,... So now if i grab your hair I, confess these dark lustful urges Beg, coherse, guilt work Saddness then there is anger Hurt, and insecurity Childish fear is that as is darwin's To ejaculate, filling the vessel To do as promised, programmed, built So that when i am caught, My life over and the gurney beneath Shall an invisible piece remain. But honestly, right now... I am arroused and you can feel it Open your mouth, i too gladly taste your fluids I promise, our secret, just one time... Penetrated and found it lacking Spine, self control, or courage not to trade morals right then, right there I had you.
