"jettison" poems
People like doors And people are like doors. People like to be open To new people and New experiences. People like to be closed So they can keep themselves Free of unruly things like Feelings and protect themselves From getting hurt. People like to open doors To new opportunities and Things that will make them feel secure Or jettison them into success. People like to close doors Behind them so that you can't follow When they decide that you're not good enough And walk away from you.

The final breath is entreated by the breaths of wind, the sky returns again as the stormy clouds depart. Droplets of water, from seas all over Earth Puddles of mud which use to be dirt. Centuries of creation all about, Weep as fast as the swimming trout. The morning birth of the turtle doves, peaceful and sad to see the dark night. The atmosphere of peace in might, As it pecks its way out of shell. Beneath the bone of its mother, She nurtures without a bother. The evening loss of dogs of war. At last the threat returns, ****** turned out of sores. Teacher sick of burns. Fire of skies tormenting, Precipitate of dirt fomenting. The freedom of the snake is not so seditious, It feeds on the nest of the turtle dove. Protect O mother-bird your love, Jettison the hatred deep inside, And **** the snake with severely brutal guile. The final wind is shakened by the quakes of ground. Hurt is one dove but there is three. Enough to go around, Eaten as food by thee. Hurt I'm, Hurt I be, nature you sicken me. Nature you sicken me.

The Orb is relying on remnant technology they effortlessly jettison LCD's to breach the black hole, humankoids re-activate their birth circuitry programmed to emote on Ringoo, Jhon, yet they have dissipated the rest. In a parallel universe optic nerves will ruse carbon copies of George and Paul and everybody will laugh nervously at two systems so disproportionate re-uniting the infinite.

Computer cordination via the Beatles
She held him like a dangling participle, as mothers sometimes do. Disconnected from her sentence, he was held on but stiffly confused. He possesses a birthright to her hard-wiring, or is it mandatory? Woman-datory? Umbilical, precedence will or won't inherit addictive behaviours. Likability of some traits but not others, wishing he wasn't. More like her, realisations go awry. Pattern of outstretched arms dangling that boy. His diaper is off, and jettison's stream, so caution. Hiking along the forgotten path, brambling overgrowth blocked his continuing. He cuts a new path. She cuts the umbilical.

Dangling Modifiers or Modifying Danglers
All of it started with the  smile of a flower, which was an  answer to my wink to her, then a wind brought her scented thought, to me to mull over, smile again was the answer, I gave. Thus began a chain, animals, birds and words, soon became the links creating lilting tunes, stars at night chimed in, their magical words crafted by many hues of pulsating light, delighting us. Even pain had a heart rending rhyme, a dying star in the candor of that moment told us truths concealed, a telescope distant would take her moment of  glory for records,she fell, showering in to cosmic chasm, magnificently. I whispered this to her ear, she was willing to join the chorus, "Aren't we like the elements of nature, braided together, just reach the core, through many ways possible, make yourself  this clear for ever; we together make one, it'd naturally dawn,  if you've nothing to jettison, those unwanted baggage  stuffed, does nothing for one, when one gathers this truth  much delight dawns, love travels at the speed of light, you are just a beam."

it's morning, you know we could paint a still life with our impotent fingers or cook eggs with every spice in the drawer we could dig holes in the front yard, bury treasures in front of button-down commuters get smashingly drunk forget where we put them dig them up and be convincingly surprised. we could pretend our hands are ****** hands our eyes new canvases and record like **** Rembrandts the embarassing details we could make a creek of pillows from one side of the house to another roll the entire length of it naked and end up tangled in each other when they run out There is a whole day ahead of us, a whole world ahead of us - a world of misery separated from us by firecracker smoke, by cannonsmoke. We have the house to ourselves we could duct tape cardboard to the exterior and pretend its one big refrigerator box we could jettison old ball mice and fat computer monitors into the driveway ***** a campfire in the living room and imagine that we have rebelled against something fittingly awful, the modern world scowling at our rusticity we could make a tincan telephone that connects the entire cul-de-sac and dress up smart and sell it as charmingly as Ma Bell door-to-door But our refined brains think two things: *** again, handcuffed to maturity, or sleep. What a world. What a longing. What our age must suggest. What an excuse: your starched reputation. What courage could come from your bleached conscience. How lovely to be trapped.

Everyone's caught on humans try to play god who doesn't exist Who needs heavenly voices when you can get a text message from yourself the day after you dropped acid that reads, "cherish these moments be happy as a component in a world made of patterns" Maybe when I die they'll jettison  my body out past Saturn so I can escape from this atmosphere of looming endings and juvenile fears I believe in the cosmos where no one has a throne or a bigger house to not call a home out in the asteroids wealth doesn't matter neither does gender or whose abs are flatter I hope when I'm drifting that my spirit doesn't shatter like the plates I dropped staring in the mirror Seeing myself through the eyes of someone who loves me my fingers dusty from the space debris created by my body

Alien Reset
The sun is long gone, leaving tracks of hazy promise of return Perhaps a jettison, I am, that of which I am to spurn With sprinkles of stardust and dimming moonbeam, I yearned nothing but a light to hold on to, even the palest will do Yet the ever so generous God gave me not the palest For a beacon of wonder I can hardly believe exists did come over my orbit, a sojourn I expect the least And a bond is made between the two The light that overwhelms me and the stars that surround forever I am caught up glimmering in astound, making me want to find more than what I found-- those little pieces that makes you, you

The ode of the moon to a comet
I'd need a billion eyes, to read you, if I attempt to imbue as a whole, I would need every neuron in this world, but you make it simple by letting me seep in to you in the end swimming to  infinity crossing the murky stream of time - space continuum "Bliss I am" I am aware, I surrender, merge, jettison all unwanted baggage, and be one with the eye that is witness to all,cosmic play I now see; you , me and them are one, and forget once and for all all that are futile ego constructs, realize I am omniscient, timeless and we as one flow in the cosmic essence.

End of wonder
Placed in plain sight as a place for curious eyes to rest Lying upon the mantle was a single picture Each day, the dust surrounding it seemed to swell, And further shrouded the frame's crack Shards of glass still fell from time to time Each landing in its own bed of dust To himself, he muttered that he should dust Each time the phantom passed it to rest And as always, he did not have the time Claiming that in his mind there was a perfect picture Heavy footsteps gave him away as the floor started to crack Memories overcame and caused his heart to swell Even then he wondered why he painted her so swell How could he adore the one that blew his dreams to dust Over the phone, he tried to answer, but his voice did often crack When he tried to reproduce what he had with the rest Too many times he had tried to create the same picture Of what he once had, but in a different time Finally he decided that he could waste no more time Each day for a week he paddled over swell after swell Each day for a week he could not jettison this faded picture Lines blurred as tears mixed with paint and dust Each obscuring line brought his soul more rest Violently he hurled the picture, hoping he didn't crack Each lonely moment inspired him to give it one more crack Realizing that in this world, he only had so much time Young love sank with the picture, and on the ocean floor it would rest To move forward, all of his courage he had to swell He put behind him the times of darkness, phantoms, and dust In the days that passed he learned how to paint his own picture Now more faces pass the mantle than he could ever picture “Good thing you removed that horrid painting” they crack “You finally took the time to clean up and dust” “One day you will admit that we were right this time” “Until I saw her today I thought my heart would never again swell” “Friend is the best word for someone that makes you forget the rest” Each day he tells himself he needs a little more time Every smiling glance she gives makes him feel so swell Letter one of each line will tell you the rest.

Stephen Hawking in a fantasy rush once thought the universe would max its tether, turn a mighty one eighty back toward the starting gun and run the show in reverse. What if it were really so? Would a butterfly return to pre-chrysalis days, crawl backwards on stalks and un-munch leaves? Would Frost back-step up that diverged path to ponder his options anew? Would we have to jettison those data cards that school has stuffed inside us and retreat to our amniotic broth? What if it were really so? Uh oh, here come the terrible lizards back for a curtain call. Don't you think it's getting awfully hot? What if it were really so? Imagine if you can, the silence following the great "thwupping" sound of the "gnaB giB". February, 2015

A Retroactive Question
The brimstone quorum of Salvationism a dying paragon : Jettison of the Holy Cities Amiable concordance in Harness of attic faith salving Creations apostasy, Sealing Hells predestine fate, Witnessing Sins forfeitable Baptismal omni-shambles Clandestine of punic Earths Calvalcade beliefs; moving Adamantine Heaven Godwards And humanity froward Evolutionarily bona-fide Of credo.

Attainted Diffidence.
Her voice was as the sirens of past, the lovely melodies that nearly entranced Homer to a treacherous fate upon the sea Tucked deep in the mountains the ocean was far from reach, yet her voice still called out to me Subtle at first, muffled by whipping winds full of snow coming from all directions Yet amidst all the ambient noise her voice still garnered my inspection Flakes of snow shone bright within the cloud that nestled upon us, my headlamp casting an eerie reflection Her voice cut through the noise yet again, soothing beckoning me to return Pressing on higher my legs ached and burned I felt them beg and yearn For the rest she had offered, a moment to reside upon this slope steep and unsteady My body craved the break, this pack seemed to grow heavy I pressed on Praying the metallic clang of my ice axe across the rocks buried deep in the snow would block out her song The melodic thump of my boots sinking into the snow with every kick step I could hear my breath Straining the higher we'd climb Her voice began to penetrate my mind I felt uneasy, never ready to face her I always looked higher, finally I took a glimpse behind There she was beckoning me to jettison into her cold embrace She had no face, there was no physical form to be had, lost in the midst I heard her calling out my name, begging for my soul, I hear her calling...I hear the abyss

The Abyss
By: Cedric McClester You’re no Thomas Edison Kanye take your medicine That will make you reticent And hopefully you’ll jettison Sayin’ slavery was a choice You’re no modern day Dubois Why’d you give that notion voice? You’re just making lots of noise Black folks got their feelings hurt Because you made ‘em feel like dirt Too bad you were not inert Instead of being so **** curt Stop saying the first thing in your head Give some thought to it instead Then review the things you said Before you have us seeing red Why do you pontificate? Better if you chose to wait Then to come out and state Things we’re sure to debate You’re not adept at history And that’s no great big mystery So why do you do this, you see When the results are blistery If your thoughts are in a rush What comes out your mouth is mush You’d do better just to hush Than to make black people blush Though I accept your apology But you offended more than me Which may be hard for you to see Yet contrition is the key Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2018.

YOU’RE NO THOMAS EDISON
I erased your voice-mail today-- the only remaining evidence that we ever loved each other. Notes I could part with-- penmanship doesn't encapsulate you. E-mails jettison into cyberspace without fanfare. Pictures were trashed before you left the parking lot. Flames of rage consume indiscriminately. Like a bruise, black will fade to blue until it looks worse than it feels. Strangely, the voice-mail gave me pause. Your voice exited that ear-piece like a sucker-punch to a glass jaw. It took me twenty minutes to punch 7 and put the defibrillating pads to my amnesia. Whoever coined the phrase easy as the push of a button never used one to erase the only "I love you" that ever sounded genuine.

You Yes, you You’re not supposed to know About the parts of my body that shiver With pleasure at the purchase of a glossy Spider-Man comic And You You’re not allowed to know How I want to dig my fingernails into My brain matter when it’s racing light-years ahead of my emotions And You You’re a stranger who shouldn’t hear How I jettison ideas like bullets, poetry like shrapnel In hopes that it will hit someone’s beating heart and make it bleed And You You’re not obliged to absorb My metaphors for how martyring it is to be alone And truthfully how much more terrifying it is to belong to someone You Yes, you You’re not allowed to read this Barrage of brokenness if you found it under my bed, only When I whirl it in cyberspace, shotgun-like, to blast you in the face Yes I said You’re not allowed to read this But truthfully? All poets lie.
