JEDI
They brought them from the hollar to the barge to the field ~ into the wallows in prayer skinny little pinkers cropped by ivory gates buzzed with hot wire hooked on bug worm whistling dixie around scrummers and **** pen peckers squawk down eden lane (nipping at jean lint and fraystring) deep in the hollows a mad crow (with steady tap) the snouts high on grunters and squealers stomping past the feather pack folded fingers on the gatekeeper (an engineer by trade they'd say) pigtails and slack line down the dusty lane a snap of the jawbone and lawn chairs settle (facing north) the bold script and chimes uneasy

#9 | 31 Poems for August 2016 She unapologetically loves each and every crevice of her canvas. Each part regally resonates to the woman who birthed her. Each part elegantly exudes the exuberance of its own beauty. The curves on her body are more than just her dress or jean size. More than the heads of men which turn as she walks down the street. Her curves are her heritage – a beautiful sign of where home is. Through pain she found love and through love she found herself. We meet in the pages of our story where the ink intimately holds us together. These words I write become intertwined in the veins of our loving hearts. In the rain of her presence, my words will always form a rainbow. I can never get enough of her love; I’m always left yearning for more. In a world ravaged by cold wars, we both know what we’re fighting for. She has never spent a day letting the world turn her starry sky into a ceiling. She wears her crown proudly and embraces the queen that she is. The curves on her body are more than just her dress or jean size. More than the whistles which dissipate the silence as she enters the room. Her curves are her heritage – a beautiful sign of where home is. The world is my canvas and I hope this African queen will always be my muse.

Canvas
Her body looks touchy in the light, I urge to play with her all night. Yes, she says and I hold her softly’ I take a deep breathe, to confirm if she’s ready. She didn’t mind, and i proposed for a birthday gift, she can’t say yet. I run one hand up her neck touching her makes me wanna peck For I love kissing.   Across her body, my right hand goes, I have been practicing, believe me, it shows. Another deep breath, the tension reduce staying focus, every moment dues Boldly toast her to the room' She gently stand up, no offends and we move. Getting to the room I gently push her to the wall I make her feel the groove My vibes and my moves Triggers her to do With my two hands, I grab her head while kissing her She close her eyes and French we go. So deep and no, i need to go’ she pull me back. The sounds and feelings grow more immense The movements, become more intense My heart stops as I see the door open Her mom walks in and says; Your guitar is too loud, please turn it down. And she reply’ ok mom. Well, I’m a bad boy trying to be relevant. She forwardly push me to the bed Stylishly she unzip my jean and holds my **** While she **** the head She fingers herself and makes me lick. At the long run, I inserted my sim. She took her face off as she feels the hit She screams and still pulling me in, While I diligently *** her with styles She wonder, who am I Four rounds we go Hard and slow She feels light and dope She’s smiles and says that’s your birthday *** BOB

Skinny *** Poem (8/11/2014) Every kid wants to be something when they grow up. They picture perfect future families with puppies and kittens, but for me something was missing. I just wanted to be happy. Maybe my vision wasn't so great though, because 'happy' looked like it had 6 letters to me, and spelled 'skinny.' People used to throw bricks at my glass house. Shouting that I’d be skinny enough to slip through cracks. Cracks of life, cracks of struggle and strife, cracks of everything not nice. They'd tease me and say I looked like I smoked crack, when I'd lose weight, I'd gain it all back, in the form of their extra hate. But I didn't feel skinny on the inside. Although I had skinny bones and skinny skin, brittle enough to break within. Under the pain of that pang as their bricks shattered my glass house. Tell me, have you ever been afraid of words? Thoughts can be terrifying but once turned to spoken word, that in turn will turn to shouted word, that in turn will turn to incoherent nonsense. Which starts a sensation of ear drums ripping, being sawed in half immediately, no time spent ticking, by shrill shrieks and violent vocalizations. As if a sound wave could burst your body parts faster, no, more efficiently than a barrage of fists. Because it will know exactly where to strike, in fact, it will sneak through your solid surface, into every single crevice, knowing where the best place to hurt is. All it takes is a whisper strategically said in your ear, 'skinny.' 'skinny.'  'skinny.' I could feel it float away from me, carried off by the wind. As if a sound wave could carry an army of statements, piled up and armed with bayonets of every decibel level, ready and willing to siege each individual joint crack and muscle ache, being pushed under imposed stiffness. It will ooze out your pores, as if your fat face was an instrument amplifier. They thrived on the thrill listening to my shrill shriek. As I stepped on shards from my shattered glass house, And stared into the million fractures, each a broken reflection of the million me’s I could be. But none of them skinny... enough, skinny for everybody else, but never for me. I’d envision each day, blood drops staining my glass carpet. Each ounce of that luscious red, each day left my body filled with an ounce less of dread. An ounce less to fit into a size small shirt, and 30 inch waist Skinny jean. My body became my own private ****** machine. Every kid wants to be something when they grow up. I just wanted to be happy, I mean skinny.

morning dew drops on your collar impressing me with the zealous way the seasons drastically measure the moment it takes me to reach forwards and brush it off liquid winter falling onto a ***** cement the initials 'F T' written jaggedly into the cold stone of asphalt i wait for it to disappear, for the flicker of everything gone to fade from my vision but it passes too quickly i look back up and there's no one around the street is empty and the capricious wind has ceased a sucker for patterns i walk into a fabric store and feel my hand linger on the erratic linens fingers paused on the peach organza sprawled like a pink bubblegum sea and i am swept into the manic fantasies of wearing the sheer tissue-like textile into the abdomen of your sweaty palm and sinking like a sticky sweet stripe until you put your hand in your pocket and i spend a year inside melting into the every thread and curve of your jean until it is nothing but disgusting sugar everything i could be when i am hidden from sight in the dark caverns of denim pants who knew the tongue in cheek joke would be nothing but my tongue in your mouth touching all the way up your gums   find me sweltering beneath the uvula wondering if i could go back to the time i found that girl with the mountain logo sweatshirt who whistled between her teeth and hummed all the reasons i should skin my knee and kiss the salty wound because there's no greater pleasure than knowing you don't have to wait for that morning dew drop to fall from their ******* collar

Just Jean's Challenge
Wimbledon’s playing on the TV in the living room. Dad and I are watching on the sofa. In the kitchen, Mom cuts carrots and cucumbers with a long blade. She slices the vegetables one by one. Orange pieces. Green pieces. I glance over Mom chops up the carrots and cucumbers without a cutting board, taking each long carrot and cucumber and slices it with precision, as though she’s a professional like the film with Natalie Portman and Jean Reno. But she’s not a little girl and she’s not a Frenchman. She’s like a mix-in-between, like the asphalt in our driveway and the grass sprouting in between the cracks. Dad is a computer engineer. He used to be an artist. Used to study technical drawing in a university in Saigon. He met mom when he was working on a play. She was the lead actress. Shakespeare had said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.” He’s right, but right now I can’t tell what act I’m in. Dad focuses on the TV. Watches Federer and Djokovic, his eyes, darting from left to right like the mood of a young boy that crosses back and forth from light to dark, and back again. Blade in hand, Mom makes longer and deeper cuts across the cucumber, cutting away the skin, leaving deep cuts in the vegetable. Dad turns his head towards her, his neck cracking like the forehand swung by Federer. He clears his throat, softly, soft as gas leaking out from a stovetop from a studio apartment, like the scene in Fight Club, a match about to be struck. Mom sets the blade down on the table, and bites her lip. Her nostrils flare. I press down on the couch arm, and stand up, my head bent, my eyes wandering to the doorway.

Joan Armatrading Songs Called Down To Zero
I I am often attracted to things unhinged. Not necessarily (traditionally) romantic, more akin to an unwillingness to ask permission, one who might say It was never your permission to begin with and not be angry or upset about having to say it. Few are so willing to evaluate situations without the overwhelming cloud of emotion. Judgment fully withheld, kind banter catching wind. A needed immediacy. Jean-Michel Basquiat was aware of the past. He pretended to not care if you did not like his paintings. Part of him was upset some people did not understand. Basquiat strangled history down to basics: music, culture, society (not the same thing), generations of family after family. His point was not for you to obtain this. This was his conscience—tangible. Brain processing. Synthesizing. To him it was so simple. I refuse the word primal because it is misguided, it does not factor purity, clarity. Sugar Ray Robinson told Basquiat to stop painting the background. Tuxedo told Basquiat what words to place and where. So much of my art is stripped and lucid and enacted with only me in mind.

"...LIFE IS A HORIZONTAL FALL..." ( Hommage à Jean Cocteau )
1.I love my scars, they tell stories of survival, give life to my soul, remind me I am here for a reason, they tell me everything other people let me forget 2.I love my curves, each mountain and valley residing on my sides take pains to protrude and remind me I am soft, delicate, I deserve to be handled with care, I am a woman. 3.I love my taste buds. So what if a steak has 3 million more calories than skinny girl’s bite of lettuce. I am going to eat it anyways and I will be proud, and yes, I will moan, because why, my self worth is not contingent on my jean size 4.I love my laugh. There’s something liberating about your belly shaking until it hurts, your body exploding with joy, giving another human being pleasure with just the touch of your voice. 5.I love that I’m beautiful, something you can’t touch, my glamour goes beyond my blemished skin. I am more than the curves surrounding my center, I am **** I am brave; I am smart. I am fearless wrapped up into 5 feet of glee. You. Cannot. Touch. Me, 6.I love that I’m honest. There’s something refreshing in saying, **** off, you weren’t good for me anyways 7.I love that I’m faithful. Faithful to myself, my dreams, my ambitions. I am more than a man’s lover, I will live my life worthy to the calling I have received, regardless of what price you have placed on me 8.I love that I believe, trust in first loves, don’t doubt passion; it was sincere in the moment, but as that moment collapsed, outstayed its welcome, I believed I was more, and I will be ok, and one day, 10 years down the line, that same moment will come tapping on my door, requesting to visit an old friend 9.I guess in all I love myself, each and every blemish and bruise, every scar I’ve been given. I was not created for your pleasure, but for His glory, I only require myself to wear that badge proudly 10.I love that I am who I am. loud, flamboyant, I am not afraid to speak my mind, which is why, I’m standing here, calling you to action. Take a chance: love yourself.

On the front porch of this Colonial, Its there I long to be, because, It could speak to all the memories, when the blue door was red. Memories, those that were good and not so good. My mom’s bleeding hearts, framed the garden entrance, Joined by legions of Dutch Iris’ and Peonies, The lot of them, were a happy bunch when the summer rain fell. The sun room on the 2nd floor was my much loved space. It was there I tried writing prose and poetry, And in the winter, the birds would come to the frosted window, I’d place some popcorn on the window sill and sing them a song to warm their hearts. The two enormous Maple trees, would reach out with loving arms, Nurturing birds, squirrels and me in 62….. the day Norma Jean died. It was there in my room, in the early morning, you could hear the Hudson River Barge blow its horn. It gave me such a reassurance that everything would be ok. Thank you for the warmth you bestowed and for the spirit of Dr. Early, Who would join our family in evening hour, when the fireplace roared.

When the Blue Door was Red
Nightlife scene no high life seen in every window, boxes with screens people obscene can be seen in the nightlife scene horizon queen on the railway scene the skyline of could’ve been and maybe a has-been roams the high life scene in the nightlife scene and lonely old Jean a thought-to-have-been roams innocently her scene and maybe she did too her high life scene can be seen are the tears on her cheeks in the nightlife scene.

To watch or not to watch. That is the question;whether it is nobler in my mind to suffer the feels and emotions of addicting shows and yet be so in love with them. To watch, to cry. One more episode and only sleep will help me to end. The heartache and the thousand cinematic shocks the writers are obsessed with. ‘tis a consuming world with everything I wish. To watch, to cry. To cry-- perhaps too much. Ay, but it's worth it. For, when watching these shows and knowing what feels may come, when we have shuffled off this depressing factor, we must not forget the humor that makes happiness last oh so long. To watch characters travel the depths of space and time. The detectives prove wrong the proud men and even the relationships and love ‘tween the main protagonists. The insolence of the hiatus that even patient fangirls cannot take. When we go on great adventures with a hobbit and a ring. Who could bear the long wait? To punt a sweat is a weary life. To discover world's unknown from books or shows. We travellers never want to return. Our fangirl hearts burn and even still We would rather bear the tears we have Than live in a world where there are none.  Thus Fangirls are not cowards, not at all Thus we are heroes so very proud So we proudly say take flight on the enterprise with Captain Jean Luc We bare our lights sabers alight And lose ourselves in the action Go we now happy as could be-- off to fangirl forever  To be normal? Ha! Never.

A Fangirls Soliloquy by Emily Austin
*"I call people creatures sometimes That may not Be a good sign"         -mikecccc* I can't help but wonder what the writer's trying to convey, And in my mind I picture one of the creatures who say; "We're much more like people than humans are anyway, As proven by Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, Inheritance played a part in changing human DNA, Which caused you to view every creature as prey, So next time you blurt out a line so passé Remember it's us you're insulting today." And with that the fair creature returned on it's way, Whilst the humans returned and lined up for their pay, Earned from the torn earth and the creatures they slay. I ask my fellow writer a question if I may; Was it your intent to insult creatures that day?

The Creatures Response
I pull my damp, faded jean's jacket out of the machine. Something clatters. Oh good, a dime. No. A cherry seed. Now you're going to tell me that cherry have pits, right? But "pit" is such a dismal little word. And this shiny clean trophy sports a history of petty thievery, committed in the local grocery store. A big yellow cherry with a pink blush. Just one, chewed boldly. Its hard center hidden in my pocket.

Cherry Seed
There once was a rat, a gym rat that is When it came to fitness he was a wiz. Powder and chicken was all he consumed. All of the other foods were surely doomed. Ripping, rushing, running around the town. He liked to pick things up and put them down. From his traps to calves, his muscles were ripped. Pushing and pulling, the scales he would tip. His veins did pop like pink birthday balloons. His buns resembled big-booty baboons. Many beads of sweat would drip down his face. Gallons of water he’d drink case by case. Visions of protein shakes danced through his head. Others that trained with him soon would be dead. The rat would pump iron day after day. But, out of the gym his life was astray. White tank tops, jean shorts, and sneaks he would wear. In hopes that all the fit ladies would stare. Alas poor gym rat could not catch a mate. Perhaps, a brain workout would score him a date.

Gym Rat
I used to write about you so intensely, so determined that everything I said would somehow reach you and the ink would spill in your veins. I used to write about you with a pinched heart, an ache that never left my bones, and a crystal tear in each eye that never wanted to stroll down my cheeks. I used to write about you, hoping that the missing-you feeling would pass and that the visions in my head would be diminished if I just ******* wrote down how I felt. We were partners in crime. We were our own Bonny & Clyde, but you decided to get away with Billie Jean. My hair is falling out and the tears are streaming like blood down a pure river. I flushed my rosary, the one you gave to me, down the toilet and now the toilet’s clogged and I don’t want to get out of bed to fix it. I don’t even want to call your brother plumber, but maybe I will and maybe I’ll ***** him and leave lipstick kisses on the places I would leave them on you. I feel so sick when I get in this cycle, when I start writing about you again and when everything just spills out of the glass. But I still write about you because the therapist tells me to.
