"jets" poems
Summer morning - pink jets of clouds splash out from the golden well of the east falling just short of an ebbing moon. Streams of swallows flutter and glide over the garden - they are all flying in the same direction as if erupting from the sun’s waking pulse. Just for a moment one of the birds hangs perfectly still - like the top-most drop of water from a fountain before it turns to face the glittering pool. Beneath them all the hummingbird makes her rounds and a dove scratches the earth below the feeder keeping an wary eye on the scribbling intruder. So many summer mornings - too many summer mornings I have wasted worrying about the world and my place in it – absent from my own body and breath the cage of my ribs rising, falling, and pausing without me. Meanwhile, another swallow stills her wings. Buoyed by an unseen breeze she is both feathered sail and cresting wave as she slices over my shoulder bearing west. Tom Spencer © 2015

Summer Morning
After dark, energies flow in manners that pleases them most braided together in lust, two king cobras were seen spiraling up when darkness like a camouflage sets in thickly around,you're the  marijuana of my mind, seeking far horizons of pleasure. I willingly seek oblivion, when pink pointed goosebumps like tarantula's love bites, results of mating time cruelty infest all over my body's landscape, signatures of ecstasy. I feel your lips become, moist, soft, honey from each drips never enough,for me, is it possible to get inebriated more? Your sighs and moans speak the vocabulary of a forgotten ancient language love hurriedly resurrected for us from past, brevity is the crux of that lingo of erupting jets of desire, it teaches you to moan in fifty different tones in all;even more? Your sharpened nails etch cave murals on my itching back that has the searing taste of blood, in hot hot chilly red. my taste buds of lust, begs for more and more of it. You are the marijuana fueling my narcotic flights that land in your misty land, enveloping my senses as a whole. "The night is still young, hear what the darkness whispers" I hear you speak like an oracle, on things about to happen.

A tryst with ***** narcotic moments
And now there would come a time a swift sharp clock on the bed Blaring its little chime in between the hard bells Like an angry little arm Charming if not for the alarm And everyday I slap the face of it Like an unwanted ***** And she is silenced Quick unlike Said chick But I am a cruel guy and have no sense of wet and dry Nor cool or heat There's nothing bothering me Time just ticks off and I laugh at it But my cells divide and turn into little old protoplasmic men And yet I am not called upon them Because they are stupidly designed and I have no sympathy for arts and crafts No masterman who failing to raise his hand Clams up With such poor artwork Slap that ***** in the dilapidated sistan Now In San Francisco Where the alley streets stink of *** And the European facades are just that Crumbling Poopy And full of **** And what yet are they dreaming to be? The church that survived fire Great conflagration God didn't make a rainbow at the end of that, Now did he? He's a water-sign Dolt And water only jolts your mind When it scatters true light, Ain't that right? But it's all the same Just different hues And the news Isn't new Just Blaring and yelling And speeding television crews Riding their stories Up and down the many stories Trying to build a city of angels On a bituminous hill Shills No life skills And I walk the city streets with a ugly old leather Brief Casing the joints and rolling my own Unhappy and alone Kerouac and the dreams on the monangular input where the triangular avenues meet And he has no road While airplanes shake their jets on the tarmac and trebuchet into the air Going god knows where Seeing a new piece of the sculpted pinball Perpetually trapped in the machine How bout Nippon Or Hangujin Or Han Chinese Or Berlin Anywhere but when A little ways along the state Of "in" All these strange things

**** this civilized **** I am set, like an object. So don't object. My eyes on the prize like my future subjects. All these haters is suspect, I pay them no respect. That's how a King treats his subjects. I blow minds like lare jets-- then take marks and get set. It could be the bad or the ugly, l'm as good as it gets. I'm raising the bar like I'm working my pecs, working hard, baring arms like I'm funk master flex. I'm laughing so hard it's hurting my chest. instead of getting money I'm enjoying my wealth,  weight a couple rounds, then rise up in belts. My Dawgs underdogs, like we training vets. I weigh the pros agasint cons, then Shakakon like I'm K. West. Extend my arm and drop a bomb when this mic turn on. My future brighter than prospects, standing on Prospect while the Sunset waiting to get it on

Freestyle Rap: Flow Crazy
Let me tell you about something I saw the other day, when I was out walking through a field of hay. The night was quite pretty, the air crisp and clear, when I suddenly encountered a cat who was drinking a beer! I walked a little farther and encountered some mice, sitting around a card table, all playing dice. The mice looked quite serious, they all dressed like thugs, I was dumbfounded, and simply stared down from above. Then I saw something that completely blew my mind, it was a variety of animals, dancing in a conga line. For hours and hours and hours they danced, more animals joined in, even deer came to prance. This party was larger than any I’d seen, a couple of badgers were even smoking something green. “Innocent” deer were snorting lines off of snakes, and a couple drunk farm dogs were fighting with rakes. A cat and a mouse were sitting in a barn, entirely too drunk, they took turn telling yarns. From across the field, you could hear an owl retch, while a gaggle of geese slurred “Benny and the Jets.” Sheep laughed, “Bahaha!” while dancing on tables, the horses were getting it on in the stables. This party was crazier than any I’d attended, a pig even ended up losing an appendage. As the sun came up, things started winding down, all the cows went home, and the "Keg King" took off his crown. I took this as my cue, it was time to depart, so a couple mice and I hitched a ride on a farmer’s cart. "Sayonara!" I yelled, "It's been lots of fun! Everybody get home safe, try not to hurt anyone!" But enough about me, let's talk about you. That was my weekend, what did you do?

I had Joe Willie from jump. The Jets were off the chain Baltimore benched Johnny U cause he knew the game. And played it too. The AFL was full of bells and whistles.Speed kills Three yards and a cloud of dust. Get real coach. We shootin rockets to da moon. High tops . Cmon pops. Change the guard. Them people ain't done nothing to me said Ali. Da Nang ain't my thang.  He was the greatest. Still is. The Haight was great.  Oh yeah Kent STATE. 1968. Open the gate to the house of the rising sun. Joplin. And Jimmy. Marvin and Tammy. The Doors and Hair. ****** in the air What rhymes with Agent Orange...... Nothing.

Age of Aquarius
Took the 17 down nicollet Passed the City Center Passing time Passing men on the streets with an open guitar case Passed the kids with their skateboards Passed the guys covered in ink playing fight night on the street Fifth street Yellow cord Brake peddle Bus stop Sidewalk The sharks fight the jets Romeo goes to Juliet Old men with canes talk on their cell phones Nicollet and 4th feels a little heavy tonight 11:47 comes my bus Down 4th ave Passing time Passing the former home of the Twins Passed the cops with their lights on Passed some kids in their visors Red light Doswell street Yellow cord Brake peddle Bus stop Sidewalk Out on the street Street lamps glow fluorescent New moon fixed in the stars Tilted, slightly The tweakers stay in the shack down the block They’ve got the rocks in their socks And they’re sleeping on the carpet Welcome mat turned over Shades drawn tight And an icy cold feeling runs in their veins And they roll back into a dream Apartment building Stairwell Door 10 Living room.

How To Fall In Love With A Murderer
I was thirteen when I broke my wrist for the first time, Miming Cinderella Man's fists as they jabbed faster than jets through the sky. He was blue collar, blue jeans, blue bruises and blue eyes; Waiting for his chance, and then taking it by the blind-side, He taught me the meaning of a left hook to life and coming back from behind. I was raised on Cinderella. She was thirteen when daddy read her the tale that first time, and she grew up wishing to be Cinderella, miming her words and her stride, She wore blue dresses, smoked blue crystals, cried blue tears with blue eyes; Waiting to be saved by a prince with blood bluer than money could buy, Cinderella taught her to sit back and wait for her princely perfect guy, She was raised on Cinderella. We were raised on Cinderella, We were twenty and change when we locked blue and green eyes, Mine had darkened to green by that eye-locking time, Life tends to darken things; It's just how it goes, and when mine took that hue, things were no longer so blue. Because even though we were both raised on Cinderella, Princesses and Paupers don't find love; When they do it isn't "true" Because no blue crystal smoked could cloak the pain and disguise; No fairytale magic can hold back real tears from real eyes. My Cinderella was a prize fighter; Her Cinderella was the prize, but the stories are different, and in the end, both are lies.

Rain dancers Children bring forth The deluge Joyous and **** Boogie away the heat of our Cebu Wash away the grime The worries of Times The sufferings Of war, in Mindanao, in you... Dance oh Children Of Sulu seas Blissful droplets Mini Filipinos me Though the air force jets Thunder overhead Weep not lil ones They are further dead & gone And now in these drops of sky We drank Bathed in the Life Which we give thanks So, bring forth All earthly deluge We babes of Cebu Shower In the sacrosanct Blossom in the truth. (this is my Philippines) I am You.

Medical Tourism (Double Etheree Poem)
I've been searching these deserts I've been rummaging through my closet I've been eating more than usual I've been spontaneously bursting into laughter I've been attentive I've been regularly missing taking my anti-depressants I've been crying hard all at once (expectedly) I've been very extremely me This is okay - this is okay Thank you life I'm okay. I'm at this airport and it's like a chorus The people go up the ramps Fly away for 3 days like Horus The returner's come home now Waiting families embrace them with love Jumbo jets zoom outside these giant windows Visitors, excitedly saunter Into this new and open place... And this is okay Thank you, thank you airport I'm okay.

The old order changeth, yielding place to new -Tennyson, Idylls of the King Like dinosaurs our institutions gasp In spasms of existential death; they pass At first unnoticed by the casual unobserver Who trips over a covenant that isn’t there If you vote they give you a sticker The ephemeral Constitution changed Like sweaty skivvies by each president Law libraries catalogued for pulp By obedient functionaries in tees If you vote they give you a sticker The faithful escorted out of the cathedral By a bored security guard on overtime The altar linens for sale at Goodwill And the sanctuary repurposed on T.V. If you vote they give you a sticker Some of The Just Plain Folks cheer for the Reds And the others cheer only for the Blues As the reincarnation of Jack Chick Blesses their four-wheelers and plastic caps If you vote they give you a sticker Election placards on abandoned buildings Promise again prosperity for all The **** lab cooks behind The Kute Kidz Private Academy of the Dance and Math If you vote they give you a sticker An outreach of the Bright Light Free Will Missionary Temple of the Lord Jesus Christ Of the Lamb Sanctified 501C The Reverend Doctor Master Bishop Billy-Bob Hairdo PhD, DD a-brangin’ Messages and His Esteemed Lady Apostle Heather If you vote they give you a sticker And blessed be the Holy AR-15 God gave to His People to defend themselves Here in the freest country in the world Which you can find behind the barbed-wire fence If you vote they give you a sticker While fleets of luxury presidential jets Arc high over our public housing projects Reminding us of our prosperity Here in the richest country in the world If you vote they give you a sticker And them Jews for Jesus I guess they’re all right But them other Jews they just ain’t no good Nor them Cath’lics nor them Mormons neither And don’t you get me started on them Baptists (We seem to have been otherwise engaged) “The old order changeth, yielding place to new” – (But neither cares at all for me or you) But if you vote they give you a sticker

....................terrorism...................... I Opened my window and peeped through. Heard the loud panicked voice of screams. Just I saw the world of dreams. People were shouting'crying'runing here and there. Destructions and dreadful scenes seemed everywhere. Streets were covered with huge blood. Just like I lost in terrific flood. Dark smoke raised over the sky. War jets and gaints were so high. When i glanced all the round. And didn't believe what I found. Street lights were broken and dim. Everywhere laid down the corpses of muslim. Muslim children and muslim babies. Their white shrouds turned into red. War jets bombed,killed,left crippled & then briskly fled. Only innocent people were on their list. People were wraping them and taking away by cist. My eyes burst into tears. By the thought of terrorism whom everybody fears. The thousands of people are now lifeless. And remained so helpless. Taken away the poor children's future brightness. with War,conflicts,disputes and violent fray. Unjustly killed so many people also by slaughter and slay. Everything for them is just like a game to play. By the war demons everywhere,everybody is sad & depressed. Why Only innocent people are being harassed & oppressed? Violences and wars only left miseries and sorrow. Nobody can imagin what will happen tomarrow. that's such a big shame. blaming only muslims and giving them terrorist name. Why the Muslims are only labeled of terrorism and extremism? Come and recognise the real face of terrorism. In the name of religion why people usually fight? open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light . Terrorism has no place in Islamic religion. It teaches the supreme wisdom with real vision. I pray when will come in this world that day. One person will unite the world and bring peace oneday.. .............

a ****** of crows gathers over Hamburg, carrion carrying on with business as usual. feeding on the festered flesh of a gentrified populace. in private jets coughing carbon they fly from the west on turbine wings, engines screaming as they dive towards a nation secured by razor-wound walls and barb-wire borders. they pitched a battle in Germany, convinced that austerity would ******* the resistance and give justification to premeditated violence. but the tables have turned on the thieves again. we are the end result of your failed policies, globalization has destroyed our homes. if your cabal rallies like a kettle of vultures, you will do so behind closed doors, cowering in your fortress' halls. you shall not pass. watch as the power shifts like the melting gears of torched BMWs. we will tear the vestiges of your authority down. we will black out your surveillance cameras, smash your windows, and block your limos. no pasaran. flee, while you can still run. this city belongs to the wild ones, a black bloc, thousands strong, dancing amidst the tear gas, tossing molotovs. marching to liberty's sturdy drum, equal in our solidarity song.

A day will certainly come As sure as we breathe When our creator will ask of us What we did to aid the oppressed On that day As surely as who created you Created me too It will not be about religion but humanity When carefully planned and organised jets Launched rockets To bomb populated refugee camps Schools and apartment blocks At a defenceless opposition Without an air force or navy Heavy weapons or artillery Command or armour **That's not war It's ****** It's cold blooded massacre** As a woman shot in the stomach Gives birth to a cold blue baby And a world across oceans changes channels tuning in to the next world cup champion It was never about taking sides Israel vs Palestine There is a truth To which we must remove the blindfold of ignorance Searching for a voice of right Amongst the cries of pain hatred and anger The sign in a city Where there is too much to see Finding peace amongst people who are not ours Because I see hypocrisy of nations Who stand for human rights But only when the human shares a matching ideology I see hypocrisy amongst media Where a million wounds and shades of blood Are inked into black and white letters Today I read 'An Israelian was killed whilst a dozen Palestinians died' They turned humans into numbers Quantitative data They couldn't possibly de-sensitize it any further I mean look at the verbs in which they phrased that   I see hypocrisy amongst Muslims Who stand equal and united Yet they too turn backs when the interest is not beneficial And the pitiful nation falls divided Whether it is a prayer A strike, a boycott or vigil A protest or petition Maybe even a donation There's a thousand ways to help But very few who do So what did you do?

If only we could fly like   those that tweet or hoot without aid of jet or   parachute For I sure don't like   wings that boom and roar just so they can take off   and soar Ah, to fly without petrol, diesel   or fuel Oh, to halt that taloned midair   duel * Birds they don't pollute   the air nor need they any airline   fare So if only I too could rise   and glide and let the wind be my   sole guide I'd be happy to fly all the   way to 'em' faraway stars if I was assured I'd risk   no charring scars. Flying without aviation   formalities I could be sightseeing   many more cities Ah I so wish to fly just   like a jay or jackdaw Then I'd fly across all and   every border For I'd know nor follow no man-made law! If only we needed no darned immigration pass or visa We could have visited so many more touristy places Say even the spectacular and popular pyramids of Giza And we could have known different cultures and races Ah, a stylish photo next to the leaning tower of Pisa And return with exotica like a framed pic of the Mona Lisa

Jumbo jets vs jackdaws or jays
Is it just me? Or do people not notice Going to a crowded place Different aromas wafting, Emanating around you They just ignore the sights Painting their own pictures, Telling their own stories Colors invading your personal space Encompassing you With a foreign feeling That creates its own thoughts In your mind, sprouting Like trees at the park Pine needles softly tumbling onto your arms Tickling each one as it flies away From its home in the trees Like a baby bird Just old enough For mommy to think he's independent And there he goes, coasting downward Until he haphazardly brings himself up Not a foot from your face And for a second Those flapping wings Sweep up pollen into your nose Before it jets away Where? The sky's the limit But he'll go somewhere populated Maybe someplace he can fly Fly like a plane in an airport Disgruntled passengers hustling To their respective flights To go on vacation, Make it to a meeting, among a plethora of things Their eyes on the screen of their iphone more than the world around them All of them, ignorant to their environment Almost as if they've never seen it before Like the baby bird that was in front of your face But how did you see those wings But those thousands of people didnt It's because they were too busy tagging That tweet that wasn't finished So don't ever feel like just walking And watching birds Means you're not doing what you should do Because those people sitting in the airport Are missing so much more than you

Anxiously awaiting atomic assimilation Basing me on belligerent and boorish bastardization Capsizing cargo with careful consideration as to Deciding which day is decay's destination Everyone embrace the elevated expiration Forget my face and follow fabrication Go to the gallows with grace and gravitation He will hold you and hinder alienation I, however, hold insignificance in interest Justifiable jackhammers jacking fighter jets Killing Californians who are kissing canvases Lying without laughing and lighting cigarettes My master makes me move my mundane mind Never knowing next to nothing with nothing else inside Overly offering operating override Practicing patiently pulling peoples' pride Quickly questioning quizzical quietness Rationalizing raging reinventions ridiculous Stapling this summer to my (still) sick subconscious Traveling tunnelers trading tides for tiredness Under the umbrella my undertow untangles Violently vibrating like varying violin angles Waiting with wandering whispers under the table Xylophonist x-rays, excruciating fables You yellow youngling, you who screams in my dreams Zebras zoom by every single night, it seems Let's chant my enchantments, the alliteration song! And untie your tongue So you don't take it wrong.

The Alliteration Song!
THE BIG JETS HIT THEIR TARGETS TWIN TOWERS TUMBLED DOWN BIN LADEN SMILES WHEN HE RECALLS HIS FAVORITE KILLING GROUND AMERICA'S DARKEST MOMENT WHEN BLACK SMOKE FILLED THE AIR AS STEEL AND MORTAR VANISHED ONLY ANGELS WALKED THOSE STAIRS CHORUS: WE REMEMBER THAT SEPTEMBER WHERE THE PAST IS ONE BAD DREAM THOSE LOVED ONES LIVE WITHIN US THERE'S NO CHANGING WHAT THEY MEAN WE REMEMBER THAT SEPTEMBER AND THE GRAVEYARD THAT WAS MADE BY THOSE NINETEEN MUSLIM KILLERS..... WHILE THE DEBT IS STILL UNPAID AND NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER MOSQUE NEAR VERY HALLOWED GROUND TO BUILD  IT NEAR GROUND ZERO IS AN INSULT SO PROFOUND AND WHERE THEY'VE BUILT THEIR TEMPLES THEY'VE BROUGHT MILITANTS WITH CLAWS THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN SELLING ISLAM'S THEIR GREAT CAUSE CHORUS: WE REMEMBER THAT SEPTEMBER WHERE THREE THOUSAND BURNED AND SCREAMED NOW THOSE LOVED ONES LIVE WITHIN US TIME WON'T CHANGE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN WE REMEMBER THAT SEPTEMBER AND THE GRAVEYARD THAT WAS MADE BY THOSE NINETEEN MUSLIM KILLERS..... WHILE THE DEBT IS STILL UNPAID

A Mosque Near GROUND ZERO??
Tell me, Gentlemen: while you soared higher than your fears and dreams could ever reach, into the blue crystal infinity, did you hear the voices of angels echoing off the wings of geese migrating south for the winter? how did it feel, fighting for a nation that measured your worth in disheveled water fountains, mop buckets, dust rags, and potato peelings, defending stars and stripes stained with the same molten white abhorrence smeared on ******** bombers? did it hit you like a G force? when you climbed into that cockpit, audaciously red, the blood rushing to your head, was it bitter hand fulls of cherries sweet? when you returned home through back doors and alleyways to face an Uncle Sam with burning crosses in his eyes, when you stood curbside at your own homecoming parade feeling confetti and streamers tickle the bridges of your noses, tell me how it felt, Gentlemen. will my brothers and sisters who fight only for tennis shoe wealth, understand the worth of those medals on your scarlet blazers? if I listen hard enough to those jets breaking the sound barrier will I hear your story? tell me, Gentlemen, what was it like to fly? infinite respects, Curlie Fries Mcgee

Open Letter to the Tuskegee Airmen
Love me some more pour your heart and i’ll pour in mine you live near an airport and i hear the low laboring growl of some jets casting shadows over our heads in bed with you in the afternoon smearing the pink sunset our low hanging blood keeping us sleepy seedy and awaiting the frosty night to come again love me some more let the gusts do their dance through the windows and let the towers of today fall
