"jnc" poems - Hello Poetry

Way up there In the thin, thin air There sits a man Who laughs and grins And fiddles with his double chins A lunatic, if you must know He paces, paces, To and fro Not love, nor hate Does Steve perceive But TV programs make him seethe Xanax, ****** amyl poppers None of these are Steve's show stoppers Thorazine would do him good But he won't take it Like he should So Mumbling Steve will grimace/grin Until it's time to cry again His mother loved him not a whit Flushed Steve away, like so much **** He killed his daddy, uncle, too He killed that man, with Devil's Brew Mumbling Steve drank up the rest Of that that killed the old ****** Then laughed and laughed And flashed a grin Then burned off his extra chin JNc 3-16

Mumbling Steve

Way up there In the thin, thin air There sits a man Who laughs and grins And fiddles with his double chins A lunatic, if you must know He paces, paces, To and fro Not love, nor hate Does Steve perceive But TV programs make him seethe Xanax, ****** amyl poppers None of these are Steve's show stoppers Thorazine would do him good But he won't take it Like he should So Mumbling Steve will grimace/grin Until it's time to cry again His mother loved him not a whit Flushed Steve away, like so much **** He killed his daddy, uncle, too He killed that man, with Devil's Brew Mumbling Steve drank up the rest Of that that killed the old ****** Then laughed and laughed And flashed a grin Then burned off his extra chin JNc 3-16

"You're not one of them", he says "I can tell, I got this GIFT, see?" The relief clear on his animated face Too twitchy, too... off "They watch us, you know? They got those satellites and **** They'll read your ID through your pocket Then they gotcha!" I nod, only mildly alarmed And throw down my smoke. Step on it to make sure it's out "Only you can prevent forest fires" A childhood echo He picks it up Looks wildly around "Your DNA is on that! Epithelials! I seen it! I seen it on that CSI!" I mumble something His eyes narrow. He laughs too hard. "Kidding man, I'm just kidding" He skitters off, like an ant missing 4 legs I look up, and nod to the ****** on the roof. ~JNc 9-15
