Jaywalker poems on Hello Poetry

K Balachandran Oct 2012

Everyday as I cross this road, here
you pass me flashing a sunny smile,
its magic, touches my being
changing  this colorless life awhile.
At the broad display wall, a casual glance, I'd cast
and think"Such a smile would look nice over there"

Today, a miracle touched my heart with its feather,
your face in its liveliest best, on posters,
are displayed  on the same wall I fantasied.
*The caption proclaimed:"She is the next big star"
This  jaywalker never would see you hereafter.

Jaywalker boy (who also happens to be a total **** by the way)

I woke up on the right side of the bed but on the wrong side of the world
So it’s back to the drawing board again as it draws to a close
You cost me an arm and a leg and I broke a leg with the act that I put on
You jaywalked across my life the way that every story goes

I got too happy about something that was doomed from the start because I didn't see the flaw in the future coming up that would surely lead to failure, I was back to where I started as it ended and I spent a lot of money, a lot of time, and a lot of myself on Jaywalker Boy, I acted like the girl he wanted me to be instead of who I was because I just really wanted it to work out between us since it was occurring the way it does in every storybook and just seemed so perfect so I tried to be perfect for him and only display my good side and portray my good side but I have a very small good side so the act just ended up being a lot of effort for nothing. ***** him. Anyone got dumb bf or dumb gf stories? Or just like, crushes that ended badly or whatever? I'd love to hear them.

the jaywalker

so your feelings were hurt
you cried like you always do
one more night of sadness
one more night I just had to walk away

it occurred as I found myself
putting on my coat I want a drink
I crossed a busy street
hurrying to avoid traffic

a police officer drove by and warned me
no jaywalking.
I thought of you
I told the officer it was way too late for that.

Epitaph on the Grave of a Jaywalker

Dressed in all black clothes,
he used to love to stroll,
across the middle of roads,
basking in the night.

jaywalker

How grand is the spectacular NOW
Its decibels and magnitude are
larger than the last and the next.
Oh, how fantastic is the present
Taunting and freezing and plagiarising
I'd **** for another grand NOW.

Jaywalker

Little silver button,
Placebo for impatience
In the cross walk waiting room,
You are every negative coping mechanism
For every season that can’t go fast enough.
I’ll jaywalk this time.

Elijah Almond Apr 2014

the breath of fresh air you're pulling me through

"You're a tongueless talker
You don't care what you say
You're a jaywalker and you just just walk away
And that's all you do

The clap of the fading out sound of your shoes"

- Elliott Smith's words (' Last Call' if you're interested). not my words . just the song in my head right now &how; I feel right now. RIP Elliott

(Elect) Trick Toothpick

Who what why
We feel enveloped
Like we were licked
E---Tricked frightened
Secretly eloped
Who do we elect?
Why all signs
Horse, Of course
monkey, Divorce
Tiger Eyes strong heart
This world falling apart
The presidential
minds over
shock waves
surfboard
Or somebody is a great asset_
The brain waves hand slaves
boardroom
Ready set became
the schoolroom
The study
The speed walker
sturdy built
She had a heart
of a magnet lover

Recharge to be reset (Elect)
Main course subject
lips met to
be picked
when the sun
goes down
electrified
Our sunset

Ms. Marrionette
The trick misery
chair
To be tricked like a
hollyhock around the
ticking sticks
and stones
clock
United Nation
security
council
being spied upon

Mr. Sherlock
holding his
unsharpened
pencil

Pop Eyes poppy flowers*
Sun-lit showers overload of hours
Over the amazing hills of
Ireland my pick
He takes you
the hand like a
stranger in paradise
like a dream lips like
divine shades the taste
cream demitasse

You're sleepwalking
He is Jaywalker
Jack climbs
up pins of the
cactus sting bean-stalk
Being pinned to the
election talk small talk
Moms' crock-***
He's the spacewalk
Taking my arm
Armstrong+__**
Proud but now its
the forgotten land
Needing a brighter future
(Night owls Neverland)
Nighthawks of
Disneyland bringing

(Ray of sunshine)

The more I see you
the more I want you
As years go by love talks
The luck of the
Irishman shamrock walks
All pranks
Flinstones of bedrock
Going to the
boardwalk*

Coney Island Baby,
he is half-cocked
A piece of the rock
More like gridlock
The hat was flying
windy__City
Cool electric, please
stay calm don't panic
Your face was
the ice puck
Goldilocks Grandmas house
three bears acting like
someone's spouse
Dog of pugs big bark
The lights bright electric
Fell over her porridge dark
Robin red breast bird fly
His Mark cornstalk but why?
The heat intensity
Everlasting
chemistry
no drilling so
hot heat beat
blasting electricity

If I had to
pick something
Let me be well
Crystal ball met me sanity

Your husband has his
toothpicks you
are his lady
dental floss
You're both
better off with
prays of God
Never to be tricked
by the cross

Electricity came a long way but we are still acting like we are from the stick playing pick up sticks throwing rocks I am hanging out by the waves and the sea breeze docks please come join me

a sheeplish jaywalker
followed confidently by three others.*

I swim through people:
laps in the waves of arms

doggypaddle through
people and their backpacks
their breifcases, dufflebags
hockey sticks, saxophones, babies

mohawks, fauxhawks
pleas for change, professions of Christ.

offerings of pretzels and
poorly aged hotdogs
cheap sunglasses, perfume

not one, but two delirious people
drift to sleep on my shoulder.

I swim on.

Marco Boltri Jan 2018

I was doing great

I was doing great,
Till you called me.
A feeling rushed which hadn't in a while,
I was doing great.

I kept staring at it,
Maybe it will ring again.
When it didn't, old memories filled me.
I was doing great.

Something told me you wanted to speak.
Something told me you didn't.
Was it for real or was it a dream,
Anyway, I was doing great

We were perfect, but the time wasn't
You were a sprinter, I was a jaywalker
We got tangled, unwilling to part
I was doing great

Everything got sidelined, like you in past
Numb feeling came back to life
But then it rang again
I was doing great

It rang and it stopped
It was surely an accident
But you called when I was dreaming of you
I was doing great

Should I write back,
If yes, the what?
Will you reply? If yes, then what?
I was doing great

You wrote me it was a fluke
I agreed to what I was told
I hoped for something else
I was doing great

It has happened before:
Us getting back.
Never worked, will not work.
I was doing great.

We decided we might consider
If stars and planets align,
If I see you again, I hope to make you mine
I was doing great

You said I can call you
Whenever I want
I am too afraid,
But I was doing great.

Going through the letters and diaries
To revisit the old days
I was smiling but the fact was
I wasn't doing great

— The End —
