severed , fish on the block
head I sit
ripe as a two year old egg
shelled
bitter as vinegar mixed with jack
Black stirred into a margarita and two shots of
house bourbon a beeker  of *** two
fingers of peepermint schnapps
and a handi-wipe
for a napkin
moderating an argument between this big woman
and a bear of a man  
about the rules of pool
whether  ***** are big small which
both of them dripping ice from their nostrils wild *** eyed
trying to slip off the far edge of the stool and at least go ****
they have me surrounded
one in my left ear big girl in my right
any closer their teeth would take a bite
sneered she does good and he all 6 4 350 lbs of him
reeks of hard work and the drout
I see clouds overhead

clouds everywhere
a lot of spit
little rain

Your mica eyes
****** their sinister gaze--
Grim and glowering--
Gouging into gaping heart-wounds
To commence continuous fresh ooze
Dripping from festering, unhealed centers.

Your darkened desires
Derive insidious pleasures
Watching the writhing and wasting--
The squirming of my weakening spirit;
You grin at the gruesome handi-work
Of your impaled butterfly.

The brilliant brevity
Of my soul's prismatic patterns,
Exsanguinates in frantic, futile beatings
With shredded, useless wings--
Faint flutterings fade into memories;
Anguish appeases from silent screams
To inevitable fatal numbing....

                                ( Release me--
                                   P L E A S E--
                                    I need to soar!)
For what are we if our very souls be held captive...we are as an impaled butterfly---unable to soar, our spirit weakens, and dies....
The Chaos n tussle dat Ʊ have brought upon us
The demise Ʊ have caused a day to d birth of our lord
"Be you not proud"
Of sinister handi-work dat darkkens d cloud
You have brought sour to ta lips of all
Another family has lost a mum
Just when we thought we hadd seen it all
The man you have de-manised into a black mournful figure
And the children Ʊ have put in the centre of the swirl.
I challenge you to man up
I ask Ʊ in un-understanding pain
Are you now  content?
In a stall at an interstate rest pit
not far from Hot Springs
My first stop in Arkansas where
the road **** goes from armadillo to possum
How much sport has taken place
where I'm careful to squat just low
enough to *** without touching the seat
swearing when I notice too late
that there's no paper
By tonight there'll be no soap
left in the dispenser to clean the sting
between her dimpled legs
It would of been a major inconvenience
for me, but probably taught her
the hard way to carry Handi Wipes

I BELIEVE THERE'S A GOD; HE RESIDES INSIDE OF ME.  THE REASON WHY HE SENT HIS SON, IT WAS FOR MY LIBERTY.
I BELIEVE THERE'S A GOD; I LOVE HIS HANDI WORKS.  I LOVE THE SUN, THE MOON, THE STARS, AND HIS PRECIOUS DIRT.
I BELIEVE IN ETERNAL LIFE; I WILL NOT BE HERE FOREVER.  I BELIEVE THERE IS A HELL, TO REACH HEAVEN IS MY ENDEAVOR.  
I BELIEVE THAT I AM LOVED, BY THE GREATEST ONE OF ALL.  I PRAY THAT I WILL ANSWER HIM, EVERY TIME HE CALLS.
I BELIEVE THERE IS A HOPE, FOR A MAN WHO USES HIS GUN.  GOD IS ABLE TO CHANGE HIS LIFE, AND RECEIVE HIM AS HIS SON.

People take selfies
and pictures of one another
just in case they missed it the first time they saw it
all stored in their phones
which hardly ever leaves their handi's
only to see the image they saw
is not right
that is not how I remember it
you had to be there
you would have seen it
the joke is on you
now the world is not the same
nor are you
Think I have a filter for that.


I love people, do you do?
P@ul.  ***. with love.
Many in the limelight aim
Despite diverse back rounds they came
   Whether a regular Joe Schmoe
   or a ma dames

For stratospheric fame
   Sought after imprimatur
   like some competitive games
Possibly an ordinary Jonny comb lately
   or the common Jimmy James schmuck oh
   Maybe known by some handi
   capping them as lame

Transcending unsightly infliction
   unwilling to let being maim
(This from drafted
    scarred acquiring above name)
Yet overcoming any stigma or shame

Proving that prejudice
   against ****** carnage
   can replaced with pride
   against cooling jets fiery angry flame
With self-acceptance
   sans love of self would tame.

We'll hear about this
With the power of the fist
Some of the HIC Troubadours
white, carry the concept
of right on
too far.
Make it to Wade
Through a bunch of crap
and try to act like a card
not a bard.
If some of the simps
impersonating
Vietnam vets
would stop acting out,
I wouldn't feel like
I was along with myself
another boxing bout.
Let there be light
LBJ practically said-
it turned out he was right
about the left
as in a cert
they were too restrained about
bombing Handi and
halphone harbors
don't be hesitant
about arbors.
