*With one old roller skate I'd be out to play The local boys Would stay all day Remove the straps You’re left with a chassis Then an old Beano book It looked real classy Now to the longest bank Only one car a day Place the book on top We’re on our way Sitting low legs outstretched Leaning back the race begins Round the corner leaning to the side Riding our skateboards with pride No designer logo Or high speed wheels To come to a stop We used our heels Those summer days we were young Happy children having fun It cost not a penny to improvise One old skate with a book the right size It's quite sad to see All the waste today Expensive toys Just thrown away*

Here in America, we improvise morgues as needed. in the cafeterias or by the lockers, near the ticket booths, and at the altars. We divvy up the dead. Tally them and report the number like an answer. 13, 20, 49, 58, 6 Every death count a timely national shock. Almost as if our well-televised monthly tragedy was ever anything less than a game of roulette. anything less than a matter of time and time and time again. Covering them each with our bed sheets, we try and stifle it. Do our best to staunch the the sights, the noises, (“just like chairs falling”) the names that keep bleeding out onto our thoughts and tongues, Far too much and too often not to choke on. Here in America, we’ve learned that horror is level-headed. It is debatable. It is pangless. It seeps, deep to the core, perverting with a silent smile. the steady, feverish dread weaving itself into the mundane. the “god help us” annulled by the “respectfully disagreed” the nightmare that lies always just underneath, and just out of mind, Until it insinuates itself Again and again... Here, in America We line the bodies, death slumped, and bled out on the pavement. We arrange them- Side by side. Most are missing things- a hat, a piece of face. one shoe, a dulled pencil (fill in C) phones buzzing on the ground lit up with unread messages (“Please call me”) They are missing- an upcoming 7th birthday party, (Star Wars themed) They are missing- their vacations. their first dates. their college applications. job interviews. kids. fiancées. Lined up lifeless, they are missing far too many things to gather.

I'm head starting the challenging life 12th grade decides my future strife. Herein lies the mystery of tomorrow Destiny of the mighty ship in my carefull row. Not asking for incredible flourishing results But delivering support for my stupendous work. Not asking for imaginative unreachable marks But holding my hands to provide the best of myself. Not asking to pour elixir for hardwork devoid outcome But strolling me through the gates of earnestness. Not asking for your substitution in me But to confront me with your intrepid grace. Not asking for grade ten replica But lending me the same earnest virtue. Help me ignore the incompatible watchers, To provide the least hope of comparing Falling in despair in other's successful fruits. But to help better and improvise my solitary results And shelter me in your house of modesty. No beneficial ranks but the submissive marks that lends a hair to my cognitive efforts To grant me light in the death of night. Let me blossom as tranquily as the sunflower Yet not vanish in the glory of jubliation But gradually offer me petals And extend the reliance day by day. Mindful and heeding my compatible hardwork Finally, let me conquer the glamorous colour Of my utmost individuality. Rehabilating the small hopes intro pristine reality Aware of the hunger turning to lime light To strike a chord for my year before. Take me on your hands, float me through legitimate mistakes, rip me apart in the wave of unquenchable thirst and finally wrap me out as a champion badge of jaded grade twelve. Finally, Bless me God, provide eternal marvels Bless me God, honour the righteous path As the testimony of your judicious grace Bless me God, I'm starting life (grade twelve)

Inspiring Needle, pierce his fresh Leather, Inscribing Earth's Totem into his Birth Mum was Happy; What else could be better For such Achievement as well as your Worth So what if you Ascend?! Can you improvise Those Loyal Customers who bought your Face? Good Lord! Just on the lower-arm-set's Tripe, Crypted to prevent another Disgrace Envy? Me? Please! Not on my Word's Best Site Will I even Dare to take such Sour Note As I once reminded myself in-spite For every Storm there is a Shred of Hope. Three Figures picturesqued on certain Price That Midnomer then showed his Biggest Size.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - TWO - TOM DALEY
There's an item that's truly essential Of a roughly cylindrical frame It's a marvel of modern invention And a legend it duly became It surpasses the birth of electric And eclipses the slicing of bread If it wasn't for this innovation Then I think I would surely be dead Oh, Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Stick with me Fix my wardrobe Effortlessly Hold up the curtains Wax my thighs Gaffer-tape Gaffer-tape Improvise It's useful for picking up hamsters And it serves as a passable tie As a gag for a amateur gangster Or the crust of a blueberry pie For a mite of podiatry pleasure You can use it for mending your socks If Pandora had come up against it Then she'd never have opened her box Oh, Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Holding fast Adhesive savior Unsurpassed Smooth as mirror glass Diamond tough Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Marvelous stuff It's bringing our nations together And it's holding them firmly in place You can use it to pull back your wrinkles For a genuine Hollywood face It'd surely have saved the Titanic And they took seven rolls to the moon Keep it near and be calm in a crisis And predicaments inopportune Oh, Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Mending sails If you're tired Of hammering nails Buy some now It's a thing to behold Gaffer-tape, Gaffer-tape Solid gold

Gaffer-Tape
My mother tongue got cut off I’ve been bleeding in my mouth ever since But I learned to cope with the pain Because no one with my mothers tongue has been able to Show me how to grow it back. Hair grows back easily though. It keeps my head warm So my thoughts can sit comfortably While trying to process what the **** everyone’s saying, Without burdening the translator who just wants to listen. I try but can’t listen or speak It turns into a silent loud noise This language barrier pulls my hair My thoughts release with no refuge It’s cold out here I try and tell them But no one can hear me. So I try to improvise and improvise I wana say I love you. I’ll try and show you how. I can’t verbalize my humor It makes me cry. Now they wont get to know me as deeply As I dig for them and they dig for me. Then they ask me how could you not learn your language As if I hate it I ask them do you know my story I did not choose this. It’s not their fault It’s not my fault Idk what was conspiring against me or with me To make this happen. So as I try and learn to grow back my mothers tongue I pray that this is a gift And its curse like symptoms is only a mask I pray this is a gift And its curse like symptoms is only a mask I pray this is a gift And its curse like symptoms is only a mask Amen

My Mother Tongue Got Cut Off
All my life, I've been around some of the strongest of women. True inspirations. All unique and incredible in their own way. From a mother unafraid of a patriarchy to her mother, who treats age as just another logistic. These past few months I was lucky to again, live among some of the strongest women I know. Every day, intentionally or not, was a lesson to learn. From them, this I learned: *To live with grace and pride. To love the the little things, Always have wonder on my side. From opening up, trusting a disruptive world. To speak freely, Yet always have a loving word. To learn, to create. To improvise, And know that life's too short, To refuse to compromise. To care for all. But care for the self just a tad bit more. To make the most of a warm, sunny day, Ride my bike a lot, if not everywhere. To live fierce, To love free. And to apologize for being all you can be? Never. For this, I thank you. For you, forever grateful. To some of the strongest women I know.*

To Some of The Strongest Women I Know
I don't get it What the actual **** you want from me Talk! Say it! You don't have to ignore me You don't have to talk sarcasticly Be true! Make it clear! So I do understand The actual thing you want from me If I did wrong so I can apologise If I am behaving bad so I can improvise But don't ignore me Dont make me feel useless I have heart too I have feelings But sometimes this silly mind of mine can be tactless It can be hard for me to catch up on things if you did't tell Because what seems right to me might seems wrong to you So say it! Talk! I am a human too I am not perfect.

Stunt ****
I find myself at the laundromat Working out my thighs and lats I put 2 quarters in the slot It makes a sound like a robot I open the door and I am posed With a question asking, where are my clothes? I don't wanna look stupid so I improvise So I start chatting it up with a couple of guys I say Laundry for hire, laundry for hire I'm looking for just the right buyer Come on in, into my dryer Laundry for hire, laundry for hire One fine chap quickly agrees Though I see him shaking at the knees I ask him kindly to take out his keys Don't worry kiddo this will be easy He squeezes in, packed so tightly I close the door feeling high and mighty The machine rolls round and round The door opens, and he falls to the ground I feast on his entrails, meaty and sweet Taking in the smell of his feet I end my meal and am satisfied Though I do wish he was deep fried I feel a hunger still raging on I still wish for it to be gone So I say, Laundry for hire, Laundry for hire I'm looking for just the right buyer Come on in into my dryer Laundry for hire laundry for hire

Laundry for hire
Sometimes I feel so caved in, With all my thoughts, all I can do is swim. Through these energies that are flowing from within, Just because I cant stop and ask what’s with him? Why do I always have to make a choice, My mind just wont let me be free, I feel like I have to make a decision but that’s not how Ive learned to be. So let me tell you about this chick I know, Shes not like all them girls that we always see, The first time I met her I grabbed her by the arm, I knew there was a story that was deep. I looked in her eyes and all I can see, her color contacts, that were trying to deceit. But deep down inside there was a story that was real, Her eyes and smile did a good job to disguise, But that didn’t fool me, I wanted to know the story that underlies. The reason why she seemed so attractive to me. Im not ususally a sucker for eyes, but the way she looked at me, Made me feel like she understands how to be free. I should’ve known the story she hides is something that might really hurt me, Because any story that’s locked up inside should never have a spare key. In the beginning I tried to make the situation feel sooooo real, But soon I realized that she had an addiction that was unsealed. Her wandering eye couldn’t stop her from speaking to many guys, Im not saying shes some ***** in disguise, But really she was a free spirit floating around that didn’t know her goodbyes, Even though she realized that might soon lead to her own demise. I shouldn’t say guys because in reality its just one that makes me compete, That look in her eyes was that she once knew what it felt like to be complete. That one other guy had left her so traumatized that shes never willing to forget, It was her obsession just like a cigarette. Everytime she felt angry or terrified there was one person who she knew would help offset, That one guy who she never wanted to regret, No matter the endless amount of time that he made her feel upset, Dreaming in her mind that one day they can recreate that fierce duet. See the problem was within me, I felt the need to help her realize That life is always filled with opportunities If we live in the past and never let go of what we once all had, We ll stay blind and you would never get to see. That there is some other guy that’s willing to improvise in order to help you lead, I got shot down with all of these stories about how she cant commit, The sad thing is she wont even realize how beautiful she is, She lets one experience judge her whole life and all she thinks about is what if. I even learned to like who she is regardless of the lovefilled flaws. Just because I want to show her that her craziness can be fixed. She thinks shes always lost her mind, and that her process is so one of a kind, That no other guy can help her define, who she wants to be. But I learned how to believe, Before my insecurities and perfectionism took over my next decision, But now what I learned is that life not about some kind of demonstration, Its process that involves many years to learn, I don’t know why but I really feel the need to have her in my life, Even though it was causing me concern, Now you know why I feel so caved in, I fell for a girl who wont let me win.

It kept her inside the workshop, the only noise, a sewing machine quietly purring like an old moody cat. Spools of threads closed into fists, Fingers curling back into their tiny shells. She places a piece of cloth on the table, The open seams sticking out like the yellow stains of a neck fold. An old worn out shirt with little holes filled with imaginary garden trolls. The smell of moth ***** seeping out. Curling her lips like a slug with a pinch of salt, A hesitant hand moves deliberately as if feeling the roughness of a warty toad. To keep one is to improvise, to mend spaces tightly with thread and needle on skin. She will say to herself: “I will keep him close” Her little lover’s shirt on her small bruised frame. chipped, she will drink liquor bitter. She will drink it long and drink it deep. November 2014

When Charlie was a young'un with a crayon and some paper He would scribble til the paper ripped and the crayon turned to vapour His mother would console him and she'd offer her advice But just to drive the message home, she'd loudly sing it twice Follow the lines, my boy, just follow the bleedin' lines Just pick a side and stay there, always follow the lines If you're not a fool then fake it If you show your spine they'll break it Follow the lines, follow the lines, follow the lines So when Charlie went to high school, how he tried to walk in stride But the boredom of geometry provoked his naughty side His professor would chastise him with a ruler and a cane And, as an aid to memory, he sang him twice again Follow the lines, young Charlie, you follow the blasted lines Give it a try, you'll soon see, never cross over the lines Don't be smart or play the joker Aim for mainly mediocre Follow the lines, follow the lines, follow the lines When assembling a wardrobe with his Allen key and spanner He threw himself into his task in an overzealous manner So when he called his father to report a broken bone His old man tutted ruefully and sang right down the phone Follow the lines now Charlie, just follow the ******* lines Don't improvise or gamble, why didn't you follow the lines Dodge unnecessary ructions And adhere to the instructions Follow the lines, follow the lines, follow the lines So in time, he raised a family, the lines etched in his head One day he heard a buzzing from his aging garden shed As he listened at the planking, how his face was drawn and long For between the buzz and rustle, squeaked a tiny little song Follow the lines, buzz-buzz, just follow the buzz-ing lines Follow the bee before you, just buzz and follow the lines Find the flowers when it's sunny Fetch the nectar, make the honey Follow the lines, follow the lines, follow the lines Buzz buzz **

Round, strong.. beautiful pair of eyes. One of their brilliant confrontation, Their deepest stare leaves you in confusion, at times thinking, wondering and oh the mixed feeling But what matters above all, they're just there by your side.. always by your side. All the sleepless and dreamless night, what will I do?  How could i turn off the lights? watch your cat to sleep and bring them to their space. their purrs are your lullaby.. and very soon everything would be fine. Play them a song, tickle the ivories. They'll hop along and lay on the keys. their presence will not stop you from playing you'll improvise the notes, my dearest cat, you're all what I'm saying: With a simple touch of love, Cuddle them every now and then, every hour, minutes and seconds.. Stay with me and don't leave me they're the sincerest companion among all.   Much love to my dearest cat : whitina & tutut

It was the first gift he ever gave her, buying it for five five francs in the Galeries in pre-war Paris. It was stifling. A starless drought made the nights stormy. They stayed in the city for the summer. The met in cafes. She was always early. He was late. That evening he was later. They wrapped the fan. He looked at his watch. She looked down the Boulevard des Capucines. She ordered more coffee. She stood up. The streets were emptying. The heat was killing. She thought the distance smelled of rain and lightning. These are wild roses, appliqued on silk by hand, darkly picked, stitched boldly, quickly. The rest is tortoiseshell and has the reticent clear patience of its element. It is a worn-out, underwater bullion and it keeps, even now, an inference of its violation. The lace is overcast as if the weather it opened for and offset had entered it. The past is an empty cafe terrace. An airless dusk before thunder. A man running. And no way to know what happened then— none at all—unless ,of course, you improvise: The blackbird on this first sultry morning, in summer, finding buds, worms, fruit, feels the heat. Suddenly she puts out her wing— the whole, full, flirtatious span of it.

Cheeks
******* at tickling the ivories, at inducing the jet buttons to chortle, say, in a concerto ; but I do strum and flirt with those amazing royal, 88 unrepentant loyal keys for Jupiter and Saturn, for Mars and Neptune, making a blank bland tune for extraterrestrial beings for fun. On the cosmic moors the moon's whirling feet cease for my discordance. What a slurred entrance by F in D major! Only a novice--an amateur. I'm no magnificent pianist, O majestic Mercury. Summon the stars the search to lead for a supreme virtuoso, one of  no incongruent ingenuity like this dilettante--a pseudo music polymath, counsels Thebe. A Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach? Any of the greats scored above, as well as geniuses like David and Handel. Impressario fly! Flee thou away and go get a classic maven. Otherwise sleep there forever at Erebus, never dream of waking up in Eden. Circuitous world stops: strings break off at the Earth's axis-- the Sun's panels pause and darkness' movement begins its own obscure notes to improvise: apace demented melody is released,-- bathos of symphony: tinny wine of concord settles on the lees of discord. Asteroids hooting some ***** calls when into the grand chrysolite chamber-- in her tailor-made blistering gown-- strolls in the coruscating Venus in the sturdy arm of jaundiced Uranus, garbed in his glistening stomacher. Like a ball, all eyes are bouncing hither and thither, up and down, googling and ogling, once more at them leering, gaping at the irreplaceable paintings of da Vinci, Picasso, and Van Gogh cavorting  upon the weightless walls to the romantic performance of Strauss in the palace orchestral of Bacchus.

Forgot Forgot about you, forgot about me, I even forgot how to *** Forgot about birds, forgot about bees, I even forgot how to say please. Forgot about about hate, forgot about shame, I even forgot my own name. Forgot the last time, I was happy, maybe I'm mean, maybe I'm snappy. Living a life in the dark, above my head is a question mark. All I want is to be left alone, I forgot the last time, I got blown. It's not Alzheimer's, it's not amnesia, maybe I'm still under the anesthesia. Forgot about *** forgot about **** I even forgot the day, I was born. Forgot about peace, forgot about war, forgot the difference between a ceiling and a floor. Forgot about pain, forgot about suffering, I even forgot why I was hurting. Something happened inside my brain, no one seems to want to explain. Forgot about truth, forgot about lies, I even forgot how to improvise. Forgot what is hot, forgot what is cold, I even forgot everything, I was ever told. Forgot about life, forgot about love, I even forgot all of the above. So many things still left unsaid, but I forgot that I'm already dead.

Forgot
You will be surprised at how well I improvise, between your lips and mine, I got it covered and I hope you don't mind. Us taking the time out, to cross signals, where ever we minds. This present, is our past time, making thins come together, one last time. Never say never, but not this time. The eyes never tell lies;mesmerized look in your eyes, after you taste our surprise. It's only a matter of time, before what's yours, is mine; our lips collide, my tongue slide, inside; side-to-side. Licking your lips, slick, they glide. I'm outlining yours with mine, tracing your smile. Your tongue, teasing, taking our sweet time. I, kept my eyes, open, hoping, we could see eye-to-eye, but your eyes were closed- finally got it right this time.

Kissing
About a million prairie miles roll out slow from sparkling eyes. Each night, beneath a blanket of melting white noise that distance wraps around your toes and takes its sweet time with every aching inch. If I could sell you a story from pursed lips a half-inch beneath my reddened, runny nose who knows if you'd believe it? But I might get rich if you were buying my slurring, supine words. I could buy you. A new coat. With your coin. And I'd borrow it for the winter. 'Cuz mine's all full of holes that breathe too hard. Like me, on my long walks home through streetlights and snow. Like you, in your bed tonight carving words in your wall, in the dark, with tongue tucked tight behind your crooked, perfect, lovely teeth. A coat's no good in Summer (save to improvise a pillow when I sleep on friends' floors). But you can sell me back my story, (half-cost, I'd hope...). And--just maybe--I could swallow your million prairie miles, and stomach five more months of Sundays... To read your wall. Aloud.
