"hangar" poems
When, like a running grave, time tracks you down, Your calm and cuddled is a scythe of hairs, Love in her gear is slowly through the house, Up naked stairs, a turtle in a hearse, Hauled to the dome, Comes, like a scissors stalking, tailor age, Deliver me who timid in my tribe, Of love am barer than Cadaver's trap Robbed of the foxy tongue, his footed tape Of the bone inch Deliver me, my masters, head and heart, Heart of Cadaver's candle waxes thin, When blood, spade-handed, and the logic time Drive children up like bruises to the thumb, From maid and head, For, sunday faced, with dusters in my glove, Chaste and the chaser, man with the cockshut eye, I, that time's jacket or the coat of ice May fail to fasten with a ****** o In the straight grave, Stride through Cadaver's country in my force, My pickbrain masters morsing on the stone Despair of blood faith in the maiden's slime, Halt among eunuchs, and the nitric stain On fork and face. Time is a foolish fancy, time and fool. No, no, you lover skull, descending hammer Descends, my masters, on the entered honour. You hero skull, Cadaver in the hangar Tells the stick, 'fail.' Joy is no knocking nation, sir and madam, The cancer's fashion, or the summer feather Lit on the cuddled tree, the cross of fever, Not city tar and subway bored to foster Man through macadam. I dump the waxlights in your tower dome. Joy is the knock of dust, Cadaver's shoot Of bud of Adam through his boxy shift, Love's twilit nation and the skull of state, Sir, is your doom. Everything ends, the tower ending and, (Have with the house of wind), the leaning scene, Ball of the foot depending from the sun, (Give, summer, over), the cemented skin, The actions' end. All, men my madmen, the unwholesome wind With whistler's cough contages, time on track Shapes in a cinder death; love for his trick, Happy Cadaver's hunger as you take The kissproof world.

When, Like A Running Grave
When, like a running grave, time tracks you down, Your calm and cuddled is a scythe of hairs, Love in her gear is slowly through the house, Up naked stairs, a turtle in a hearse, Hauled to the dome, Comes, like a scissors stalking, tailor age, Deliver me who timid in my tribe, Of love am barer than Cadaver's trap Robbed of the foxy tongue, his footed tape Of the bone inch Deliver me, my masters, head and heart, Heart of Cadaver's candle waxes thin, When blood, spade-handed, and the logic time Drive children up like bruises to the thumb, From maid and head, For, sunday faced, with dusters in my glove, Chaste and the chaser, man with the cockshut eye, I, that time's jacket or the coat of ice May fail to fasten with a ****** o In the straight grave, Stride through Cadaver's country in my force, My pickbrain masters morsing on the stone Despair of blood faith in the maiden's slime, Halt among eunuchs, and the nitric stain On fork and face. Time is a foolish fancy, time and fool. No, no, you lover skull, descending hammer Descends, my masters, on the entered honour. You hero skull, Cadaver in the hangar Tells the stick, 'fail.' Joy is no knocking nation, sir and madam, The cancer's fashion, or the summer feather Lit on the cuddled tree, the cross of fever, Not city tar and subway bored to foster Man through macadam. I dump the waxlights in your tower dome. Joy is the knock of dust, Cadaver's shoot Of bud of Adam through his boxy shift, Love's twilit nation and the skull of state, Sir, is your doom. Everything ends, the tower ending and, (Have with the house of wind), the leaning scene, Ball of the foot depending from the sun, (Give, summer, over), the cemented skin, The actions' end.

When the clouds below turn to into carpet Up there in the cold morning light, The VFR pilot jitters and frets: Time to check fuel, to come up with a plan To search for a hole in the billow below, And bring the craft in to land. So it was when a pilot coming back from a lark, Flew in a circle somewhere over Williston, Above clouds turning thicker and dark. In his office sat Phil, across the state line, When the radio crackled, pleading a break: "VFR practice," he thought, "He's probably fine." Phil headed to lunch, had an errand to do... Drove downtown for a couple of hours, Returning somewhere around 2:00. The radio tone carried tired despair When Phil walked back in from his break And heard the pilot, still stuck in the air. Phil knew that the fuel must be drained In the old Piper Cub overhead, So he logged a flight plan and ran for his plane. He flew to the east and banked to the north, Rising above the gray carpet below, And spotted the wanderer holding its course. Coming in fast, cutting his distance by half, "Super Cub over Williston, this is Bonanza On your left. How much fuel do you have?" "About 30 minutes," came a despondent reply, Standard answer, but gauging the hours, Phil calculated the response was a lie. "I am going to fly by your side. Follow me and dive when I dive; Keep contact and enjoy the ride." The planes in tandem turned around; Phil flew by IFR to find the runway end, Backed off the throttle, and led them down. The tail dragger followed, did not complain, Dropped into the soup gliding blind Except for the strobe on the faster plane. The old Cub flared when Phil said, "Land!" Settled onto the runway end as the propeller stalled, And Phil had saved a desperate man. On the hangar wall now hangs a plaque, Though Phil himself is gone, The Governor's gift for bringing a flyer back. -------------- My brother once watched Phil Petrik of Sidney Aviation fly off the Sidney runway, disappearing into a pea soup fog, carrying our father and mother on an emergency flight to Billings, to save my father's life. I lay this poetic rose upon Phil's grave as a slim tribute to a man who earned my admiration and life long gratitude. Rest In Peace, Phil Petrik.

Seen something move out the corner of my eye Can’t tell the difference between dreams and real life Maybe that’s why I got such unrealistic visions They tell me to create a real list of things I could be But I ainte a realist, because life’s too silly to sit around waiting for the reel to end They don’t see what I see These pupils are blood shot with conformity stuck up their rear ends They just live a broken hope smothered in icing, while I sit on the ledge My brains got no drive these days, see it flies eh, I’m livin’ on a flaming jet They keep asking me to flash my knowledge Maybe that’s why they call it a mind-set But hell, I only know ledge, never seen over the hedge Is the grass greener? I don’t know, I haven’t smoked it yet I felt high above but then life got plain and crashed into the edge Of the Earth And I rose again like smoke does when things get heated And I know the Earth isn’t flat, it’s got a nice set of behemoths Ones Mount Everest And then there’s me mounting every verse until I’ve fulfilled my thirst Eating creativity alive and only leaving behind the skeletons So when they pile up you can identify their behinds and come find me in my cabin Would you like to see my trophies mounted? Dates below from when they were founded? They weren’t found, they were downed And only a fool would mount’em I’d rather stack’em and climb’em like a mountain And prove I’m the chest of the world Look inside and find golden albums … What the **** that was a weird dream REM sleep sure knows how to deceive And it left me with such a cliff-hanger too Or should I say aircraft hangar To store my fly art in ‘er Feels like I was at a witch-craft banger I’m feelin cursed as I spell Feels like the devils got my voodoo doll Maybe that’s why I’m on fire I’m so tired my words tie together in red The line between my dreams and reality is ceasing to exist My two worlds dance, my thoughts prance and draw blood, in a beautiful dissonance It’s only when I’m half asleep that I’m truly awake to my passionate presence Insomnia is a curse and a blessing

It all started out with a simple kiss on the cheek She extended me a paddle to swim up her creek She asked questions like "what exactly do I seek?" You couldn't imagine this girl ever being a freak Then fast forward to right around the third week Wreaking bedroom havoc till we both can't speak Woke up in the morning to some very gloomy weather She had questions for me about starting a life together I said I concur we shared many times of jovial laughter But you must understand, it's called the morning after She said I just know this is fated, as I patiently waited She went on unabated that she was so absolutely elated And as I awaited her words to finally become translated I debated in my head the actual time that we had dated The next words that she stated left me utterly deflated "I'm positively impregnated, what a life we have created!" I immediately froze still, All Just for one cheap thrill All my dreams to fulfill, shattered by a condom's **** She was so normal up until, she must be mentally ill Ok, breathe, just chill, think of an idea you can instill Act like an ******* and really use some theatrical skill "Now do you really think you're fit to raise a baby Jill? Imagine our lives constantly fighting, climbing uphill Always scraping and struggling just to pay every bill Dressed in clothes that are straight from the goodwill Plan A, the stairs over there, perhaps you have A spill Plan B, is Breakfast and a morning after omelette pill Plan C, is a Coat hangar specialist I know from Brazil So what do you think? which is your favorite plan Jill? **** you Jack, I'm leaving and never ever coming back Plan D, none of the above, The story of Jack IN Jill's love

I can see the darkness swathing everything into its fathomless cloak. Greedily swallowing, leaving only death on its wake. Exhausting every essence until nothing is left. Blinded by the darkness I walked, searching for something. Nothing, there is nothing, just the void. Fear started to creep into my system. Like a hangar engulfed in flames. I feel consumed, corrupted. On the verge of insanity I prayed, to whom, I am not certain exist. I waited, but I waited in vain. No one came to rescue me, no angels, not even a flicker of light. Despair started to plague me. Like a contagious disease it kills me, thoroughly. I am shattered like a broken glass, crushed into million fragments. There is no hope I'm afraid to admit it, but there is really no hope.

Despair
My brother is a pilot, Not just any old pilot... A tail dragger pilot, Champions Cubs, Super Cubs. Planes made of spars and fabric, Held tight By screws And dope, And glue. Airframes part wood, Part aluminum, Part steel. Fuel tanks sloshing in the wings Either side above our heads, Set the mags, Hand crank the prop, Turn on the fuel, Hear her pop And roar to life. We strap in Single file, Controls fore And aft. And rev 'er up To join the winds. Once up, He yells, "She's yours!" And I am piloting Or rather gingerly sliding her About the blue, Skidding right or left, Holding my breath, Wondering how much I dare To tip her up there in the air. "I've got the stick!" He yells, and I let go. "Don't be afraid to fly it!" "It's just a machine!" "Make it do what you want it to do!" And we are diving toward the ground, Then bringing her up and tilting 'round. "Give her fuel when you tilt to turn!" He demonstrates, and we are standing On the wing, Perpendicular and looking to our left and down. I know he's right, That I am timid in my flight, And he is brave with years of joy, A pilot fearless since he was a boy. "You want to land?" I hear him say. "No, that's alright!" "Not today!" To prove how safe it is to fly, He touches down, Then bounces high, And vaults us back into the sky. We flit across the fields, And then, He flies beneath the power lines, To show how spray planes catch the ends Of fields. He skies the plane at either end, Then bee lines it to the badlands' edge Where suddenly we're swooping down Between the canyon walls, and sinking low, Then, rising, turning to our right, He sails us toward sun's dying light. My only hope is that we'll land Before the night Erases all our sight. And sure enough, The air is calm; The night is coming on; Gusting breezes are all gone. We gently settle once again, Back at the ranch, I help wheel her then Into her waiting hangar pen. Life can be lived all in a panic; Fear fills us with a lingering dread, But we should live our lives Just like my brother said. "It's just your life, so make it do Whatever it is you want it to!" And when you're changing Your directions, throttle up! Don't let the fear of living Bring you to a needless stop.

It’s been three years. As I drag myself from the wreckage of yet another crash Lungs full of smoke and skin seared with burns I can’t help but think of that day Three years ago When we stopped playing hide-and-seek Each of us circling the same gorgeous little two-seater Each of us refusing to believe we were not alone in the hangar— When we finally climbed into the cockpit Admitted that we wanted to fly this thing And started preparing for takeoff. It hummed to life like it had been waiting for us To put our hands to the controls Like it was not a machine to be flown But a connection and extension of our very minds How it leapt down the runway and soared into the sky! How glorious the flight through clear blue skies! How terrible the storm that hit. Enveloped by black clouds Tossed to and fro by the wind We wrestled with the elements And then my controls locked up. A moment of panic— “This thing can’t fly without two pilots!” A desperate grab for the handle by my feet One last look at my copilot Then a sharp tug, a violent flinging into darkness. I don’t know how you piloted out of that storm How you got that thing out of the sky But when I tracked you to the landing site (After months frozen to my ejection seat Numb and unable to move) I could see it was in bad shape Beyond repair? I didn’t think so But I arrived just in time to see you walk away Your helmet, left in the dust by a bent and twisted wing The last reminder of you. They say you’ve taken wing again A new copilot at the controls (I catch glimpses of a tiny speck high overhead sometimes) And after three years I can naught but wish you well But, burned and ****** from my last disaster I cannot help but sit here on the ground And dream of the sky.

What does it take to set the soul on fire Fear is not having what that soul desires There is a method that many have mastered Through some kind of mental magic or simple trial Some must toil and some most fold In order to keep that soul in an effortless hold Others choose avoidance or torturous means And keep the soul afloat in a flaming dream Tormented by the riddle some lay awake at night As if waiting by the gate to take the next flight But Canceled again. On the ground they stay Cause unknown. Further delays. Watch the jet go back to the empty hangar To be tinkered with before risking disaster Piece by piece It's taken apart To find out why the engines won't start

You want a woman that will go out of her way to unlock your Door **** with a coat hangar And not second guess herself Because she has full faith in what she feels Cause she doesn't play mind games with herself And she knows exactly what she wants

Coat Hangars and Doorknobs
Paradoxical paradise I love drugs - and I hate them. I hate staring at myself in the mirror of a dark bathroom drowning in my own big eyes stretched pupils I hate the smell of ***** the chemical taste of MDMA and the non-taste numbness of speed or ******* I hate the emptiness, I hate the crowd that swills around me- hundreds of them and I'm still ******* lonely. But I love getting so high that I'm just numb empty and lifeless and childlike, kissing strangers, forgetting the meaning of love. So I love being drunk I love casual *** and doing what I want I love the facade I love to forget everything else.

The Hangar
The actor was so thrilled to be offered a part uneasy that two suited men told  him he had to sign a binding contract no disclosure or go to prison realised there was no choice had to agree but offered him a huge fee! Pressurised signed was told to wait for a call they would not disclose details life put on hold regretting that offer of work could not contact agency what had he committed to it blew his mind wishing time he could rewind! Several days later his house phone rang a voice gave a short message outside ten minutes apprehension grew picked up his bag and waited at precisely the time stated a van arrived from then on freedom was deprived! A side door shot open abruptly told to enter once inside the vehicle sped away within not alone three other men squatted nobody spoke on that journey what seemed like hours being thrown about he was filled with fear and doubt! At last it stopped they were greeted by a man smartly dressed and well spoken apologised  for covert action and no information found themselves in a large hangar on one side changing rooms and catering truck it dawned on him here they were stuck! It was cold as they were shown to a huge room chairs were placed facing a screen sitting the smart man went to the front lingered until they were all quietly seated explained he was the director of this project with those present was about to connect! From behind them armed guards now entered please do not be alarmed he said they are here for our protection and security you have been chosen to participate in a conspiracy that must never be exposed the screen lit up the secret disclosed! Images of a barren landscape was dispalyed this is the set built-in this hangar here the moon surface has been recreated because we are going to hoax for the want of a better word the moon landing with astronauts on surface standing! This is the first meeting of our brave flight crew! Just another conspiracy theory? #TheFoureyedPoet.

Middle of the night LED lights Displaying Silver City The streets under it are too gritty Is this what is comprised in the Central City? Can't vent to the Committee That will solve nothing That's my greatest frusturation Homeless number is growing The only place to sleep in is getting in the towing There's not enough ways of knowing Due to lack of exposure The only way I'll feel any closure Is when they decide to take action Put these sentiments intro traction I've been solving the fractions Days and days on I will play on This song Because it has been far too long Kicking the Homeless in tents Yet allow these women to be around Men that could put them in a ditch Harassed and disrespected You can gratify away, defect You can't always detect Danger I've been carrying these thoughts like a Hangar And now it's time to egress I'm not doing it to impress I'm putting morals to the test I vastly detest These Men groping and trying to look under their dress And allow it When there's desperate people needing a place to stay And they disavow it Bulldozing old homes where they stay to build new ones Instead of renovating them These rich folks coming in Voting Democrat Which is the party of the Mayor Who doesn't give a Rat's *** About any of them The effrontery to call this city silver Is appalling When there's people who need helping And there's been nothing but stalling Your perception of hitting the gold is rich cars, mansions and throngs of women What an edged omen Mine is a cheap and efficient car, modest house and a wife I come home to every night That's my Silver City Don't need to blow hundreds to celebrate When there is much more important things in life to value Forget being scared of the poor Try to open them doors Get the number of poverty off the floor And into something more Serene That's the kind of life that is Supreme.

Can't vent to the Committee That will solve nothing That's my greatest frusturation Homeless number is growing The only place to sleep in is getting in the towing There's not enough ways of knowing Due to lack of exposure The only way I'll feel any closure Is when they decide to take action Put these sentiments intro traction I've been solving the fractions Days and days on I will play on This song Because it has been far too long Kicking the Homeless in tents Yet allow these women to be around Men that could put them in a ditch Harassed and disrespected You can gratify away, defect You can't always detect Danger I've been carrying these thoughts like a Hangar And now it's time to egress I'm not doing it to impress I'm putting morals to the test I vastly detest These Men groping and trying to look under their dress And allow it When there's desperate people needing a place to stay And they disavow it Bulldozing old homes where they stay to build new ones Instead of renovating them These rich folks coming in Voting Democrat Which is the party of the Mayor Who doesn't give a Rat's *** About any of them The effrontery to call this city silver Is appalling When there's people who need helping And there's been nothing but stalling Your perception of hitting the gold is rich cars, mansions and throngs of women What an edged omen Mine is a cheap and efficient car, modest house and a wife I come home to every night That's my Silver City Don't need to blow hundreds to celebrate When there is much more important things in life to value Forget being scared of the poor Try to open them doors Get the number of poverty off the floor And into something more Serene That's the kind of life that is Supreme.

My brother is a pilot, Not just any old pilot... A tail dragger pilot, Champions Cubs, Super Cubs. Planes made of spars and fabric, Held tight By screws And dope, And glue. Airframes part wood, Part aluminum, Part steel. Fuel tanks sloshing in the wings Either side above our heads, Set the mags, Hand crank the prop, Turn on the fuel, Hear her pop And roar to life. We strap in Single file, Controls fore And aft. And rev 'er up To join the winds. Once up, He yells, "She's yours!" And I am piloting, Or rather gingerly sliding her About the blue, Skidding right or left, Holding my breath, Wondering how much I dare To tip her up there in the air. "I've got the stick!" He yells, and I let go. "Don't be afraid to fly it!" "It's just a machine!" "Make it do what you want it to do!" And we are diving toward the ground, Then bringing her up and tilting 'round. "Give her fuel when you tilt to turn!" He demonstrates, and we are standing On the wing, Perpendicular and looking to our left and down. I know he's right, That I am timid in my flight, And he is brave with years of joy, A pilot fearless since he was a boy. "You want to land?" I hear him say. "No, that's alright!" "Not today!" To prove how safe it is to fly, He touches down, Then bounces high, And vaults us back into the sky. We flit across the fields, And then, He flies beneath the power lines, To show how spray planes catch the ends Of fields. He skies the plane at either end, Then bee lines it to the badlands' edge Where suddenly we are swooping down Between the canyon walls, and sinking low, Then, rising, turning to our right, He sails us toward sun's dying light. My only hope is that we will land Before the night Erases all our sight. And sure enough, The air is calm. The night is coming on. Gusting breezes are all gone. We gently settle once again, Back at the ranch, And I help wheel her, then Into her waiting hangar pen. Life can be lived all in a panic. Fear fills us with a lingering dread, But we should live our lives. Just like my brother said. "It's just your life, so make it do Whatever it is you want it to!

We are the forlorn wing The flyers on the foam We did not volunteer To leave our sacred home As takeoff day draws near We bid our bitter byes And swallow down our fear With thoughts of mother's eyes The rain won't change a thing But still we pray it pours As if that pattering Upon our hangar doors Would be a good excuse To ground a dozen planes We know it is no use But still we hope it rains

Kamikaze
When life started death seemed like a blip on the radar and as death nears life seems more like a blip of time it’s like wanting to travel but being stuck in the hangar then going there and back in a record breaking flight.

Time Flies
A journey from a city to a small town, And I thought... I would go down, (I was nervous, not too many adventurous  bones, Not everyone, after all, is Indiana Jones..) A rickety-rackety propeller plane ride, Tossed and hurled me from side to side. Amidst jets that sniggered and scoffed, The propeller plane, nonchalantly, took off. The gall of the small contraption, Of their majestic magnitude, just a fraction. A take off with a war  cry, A noisy leap  into the sky. And though perhaps lagging in the race, He chugged at his own pace… He rocked and he plunged, He plunged and he lunged, He  shuddered and he swayed… Rather unsteady all the way. Bullied oft, by  clouds of turbulence, That looked menacingly dark and intense. But all the while, in tune,  in sync, With the wind beneath his wings... And though I thought he would nose dive, We landed and we arrived! Interesting it was to see him share space, In the hangar, in the sky, while defining his own place.

I need to find a job But I’m told I’m flawed No one will ever applaud When I’m so far from God So I hate them and Him I start selling bags of trim To become more grim Than both of their whims I turn teens into fiends With no financial means Forgetting their dreams To buy my beans They ransack homes For permanent loans Of turbulent tones To pay my bill And get their fill Of pills that thrill Leaving them still My cardiac attack ******* packed Cadillac Drifts for twelve hour shifts Driving families to cliffs Of drug addled rifts Until I’m mentioned In interventions Bringing attention To my dimension The cops are behind me Can they find me Through the facade I’m designing? I’m a drug dealer hiding From society’s bindings I don’t make a single sound Once they release the hounds Searching for those I’ve bound In my lost and found They’re just doing their jobs And so am I Playing the odds For a piece of the pie I’m addicted to the danger And exploiting strangers To channel my anger Into buying a hangar But white blood cells have been released Trying to cure my malignant disease With aggressively insistent antibodies That won’t let me do as I please Should I listen to my town When they’ve always had frowns And always let me down? I turn around Showing them my back And the piece I pack If they choose to attack The bodies will stack There’s nothing they can say I’m entrenched in my ways I can’t see through the haze Of this capitalist maze Where I was raised To look out for myself By building my wealth And ignoring the health Of those hit by my belt

I sought you I found you I fight you Surround you Breathe deep now I pound you Oblivion Caress you Six billion Obsess you Not healthy Forgotten Not sweet now but Rotten I've smelled true And gotten The fine fruit She brought and I've climbed every mountain I sail on a fountain That makes all the pennies Throw up Like the raven Can't shut, Stop behavin' Can't seek Their own maven Can't treat their own kin I get sad for them often I'm still glad I brought them when they let enough light in I'm barely goodnight and I treat you I treat we I drink up your sweet tea I thirst for her anger but I'm quenched in my hangar... Soaring Pouring Flying Sighing Then I look out the window I see her in sandals I look for your weakness You laugh with a Preakness. I promise her the grand daddy of them all Then we ball, and we ball, and we ball, through the stall. Till we fall Not we, you I mean me And my sweet tooth My love is a phone booth, I have no one to call. You should see her Desert you I'm sad she had to see you Her eyes are for sunshine And you are the gutter. For you, I bet, she would probably 'forget the butter'.

Texas, Our Texas, All Hail the Secret State
I am enjoying holding a hot steam iron gently pressing it downwards and moving it across a white cotton crumpled coat which becomes neatly flat as I iron. When I have completed ironing the coat and I put the coat on a hangar and I see the coat neatly flat I feel happy.
