"liter" poems
My mother grew up in a small town and she married in a small town and she lived in a small town and she passed away here. And our neighbours came with their casseroles And the florist gave my family her best violets And there was a discount on the casket. My sister grew up in a small town and she married in a small town and she lived in a small town And she works at the high school as an English teacher. And she takes her kids to the park every Saturday, And her car never uses more than a liter a month And there is always a booth for her family at Sal's Diner. My brother grew up in a small town and he never did marry but he never did leave. So now he lives in this small town. And he only ever takes his job as a deputy seriously And every Sunday he tends to his geraniums, And there is never any mail in his mailbox And his coffee order has always been the same. I grew up in a small town and nothing ever changed and so I left. And I will never manage to travel to all the bus stops And my barista never ever remembers my face And the librarian is stern, always, instead of friendly And there is never ever a dull moment In this little world I've created in my big town.

Satirical sadness said the face of the clown, Under the big top tears upside down Twenty five years of life on the road, No smiles, no more has taken its toll The laughter is gone and so its said The show is but over, So put it to rest Sitting alone, in front of the glass, his reflection is broken dropping down fast Make-up streams down his circus drawn face, Sitting with no one in his own solemn place Dropping his pills, with a liter of gin fading so fast and losing his grin The big top has fallen, the circus left town Nobody cares the sad clown is down.

Sad Clown
I return home from another long night putting on shows for people I do not know and with people I can scarcely relate to my legs ache, my hands twitch, little bites and bruises liter my body like some kind of war paint there is no satisfaction in this any more there is a deep unfulfillment in the life I am now living I move slowly, each action taking more and inflicting more, while I contemplate the meaning of my life (once again) and look about my bedroom wondering why I have allowed it to become so messy

unfulfillment
In haste, I took the first woman like a whiskey shot-- every ounce of her scarred my throat kept me silent, kept me staggering under the weight. When the bottom shelf love went beyond full bloom, I vomited her up, leaving me with a headache. In good conscious, I took the second woman like an aspirin pill-- every milligram of her alleviated the pain kept me similar to content, kept me tame. When the effects wore off and I pined for another drink, I put her in the cabinet, leaving me rambling nomadic. In guilt, I turned myself into the third woman like a penitent criminal-- every liter of her blood solidified kept me wrapped behind her bars, kept me seeking her good graces. When the prison sentence drew to a close, I left her behind, walking with an unwashable history. The fourth found me frightening, the fifth just ignored, the sixth designated me the "other man", and the elusive seventh only said, "You could do better." In my mind, the pills, prisons, and liquor melded -- the days cut short, the nights grew long, but I could do better I could do better I could do better. I sold the pills, I poured the whiskey down the sink, I left prison to the prisoners, and in the mirror I became a religious practitioner. To the Church of Better I subscribed. Sober, lone, and free my cry. To the darkness I whispered: I am the resurrection, I cannot be killed, I am the resurrection, the Buddha, the Jesus, the Krishna, the Allah. I am the resurrection, born again and again and again.

Before spring, near Grimsby, ditches run clean like trout streams, Our vines are gray. They will be pink next, like flushed, excited skin.   In March there is the flatness that is a big part of trouble. Anthony's sisters are helping him scrub his apartment. He was sick all winter. They raise his laughter like neighbours raise a burned out barn. He had made a good start. The therapy. He says now, "I wasn't so much sick as sad all the time." The pills ended the depression. You can wish that life was never mechanical. Smell of hot vinegar in the coffee-maker, smells of pine oil and beer. Brock University jackets, damp curly hair, his sisters Wiping their hands on sweatshirts, the open window, His bedroom. Anthony clears books from the sills and cleans and shines the windows. There are wicker baskets for their picnic and for his laundry. I always wanted to know, what is consecration? (Here is a scrap of his poetry: "... ******* the colour of a driftwood campfire.") His sisters laugh to think of a girl in the apartment. The ***** clothes are gone. He's got clean denims and hiking boots. Laughter, beer and young music, Bread and stew and pickles and heavy  brown two liter bottles of beer On the white wooden kitchen table where he hopes to write. His father's pickup truck is in the yard, its bed full of garbage. With cleaning any good thing can happen. The sisters feel it too. I didn't know what consecration meant. They joked That he could have a girl up there when they were done.                                        Paul  Anthony Hutchinson

At goodwill Buy the Pound every day is black friday Hundreds of soccer moms line up their white sneakers on a black and yellow caution tape line zombie over it streching for yu-gi-oh cards wait for hazmat suits to wheel out eight bins full of trash gone treasure.

I like fresh vacuum lines on carpet. I also like American flags that are hanging inside someone's house. I like putting clothes on immediately after they come out of the dryer and I like falling asleep in a hammock. I also really dig mini-fridges or drinking the first glass of an unopened 2 liter soda. I like girls that laugh at my jokes and I like them more if I laugh at theirs. I really really like sun roofs, especially at night. Speaking of night, I also get very happy when I flip to the cold side of my pillow or get so tired that everything is hilarious. I also need to have a cover on even if it's extremely hot and I really prefer having a static background noise like a fan or air conditioner. I get anxious when I hear my heart beat. I get excited whenever I'm on a long drive home and I see the first red light of my hometown. I like romantic indie movies. I like watching romantic indie movies with other romantic indie movie lovers. I like the front camera on cell phones. I like singing really badly to 90's songs with a bunch of other people who sing really badly to 90's songs I like sunshine too... But I really really really really like you...a lot.

haiku to seltzer
I’m driving laps around Urique’s unpaved streets with Arnulfo, the world’s fastest ultra-runner up front Chugging tesguino disregarding Young son, Mateas in the back Handing us the 2 liter Coca- Cola bottles, full of the mashy corn brew. The cholos are drinking Tecate, mumbling under the palms stalking the river, watching us break down at ever lap. Arnuflo heaves the truck from behind, alone, screaming and pushing. I snap it into second gear Mateas trembling, and off we go. Arnulfo hopping in smoking more cigarettes passing the tesguino around shouting Rapido! Poco a poco! Andale! Rancherra bumps full blast, the Eternal bumping, beem, boom, up and down Beem, boom, beem, boom Tubas and brass echoing through all the adobe walls meandering all the way down the arroyo to God know’s where. The cholos challenge Arnulfo to a race in their harsh stares under flashy hats and shiny mustaches, Ed Hardy models with sharp pointed snake-skinned boots Ayyeee, Arnulfo says, He won’t race gainst Oscarine who they say is the fastest young Chabochi better than the elders who used to chase down deer, gently twisting their necks after tracking them to an ending exhaustion. Arnulfo tells them I can win as Oscarine snorts more from the bag they pass around from his pocket Off we go twenty yards Around the farthest tree And I win because of Arnulfo's ancient assurance

Urique Night Life
If you've ever broke out into hives, you would understand what it would feel like to be one. If anxiety has ever stripped your veins, If inspiration has ever lacked the blood leaking from the depths of you that explode like title waves against rocks, you would know what it would feel like to be stung. I've realized I haven’t been aware of transfixed rage and clenched hands trying too hard to hold on to something that loosened its grip a match and a half ago. The fluid in my liter told me it was never really meant for cigarettes; all they ever do is deteriorate. There is blood covering my sheets and evidence to cover up my gruesomely blank eyes. Everything is coming back to me and it makes me wonder why I've ever given up. They say that words sting and if bumblebees killed themselves after hurting someone else they’d be a lot more like me. This is ripped and crumbled paper in the form of a mental breakdown. You have composed me of jolting pupils and false accusations. I’d rather be writing in my journal. I’d rather be scratching down illegible ink marks than doing what I’m doing right now. If you can hear that, it’s the sound of windows breaking. It’s the sound of your heart forcing itself to shatter It’s the sound you make when all you want to do is become a drone to vivid darkness and a loss of senses. I would be a lot more like bees if their venom could actually put the living in their suitable graves. I am substituting pain for pleasure even when I feel nothing at all. I don’t want to be a bumblebee anymore.

they call me cat-liter, I'm their slave. I'm embarrassed at sharp edges, you've caught me all confused. he said sleep, but translated space. at least that's the way these feelings memorize. depression, rage, stress, broken threads, spandex, cold sandwiches, free muffins that you missed: I want to scream in your face so that when I hold you I know you're really crumbling. I missed you like I missed myself. my cleaning quickened so that I could see you. maybe you needed some time spent, in caffeinated tendencies, to just blow off some steam. Forget a few things, for as long as you could until they slam you back down again. I'm not here to weigh you down, I've got myself covered. two of the same, one in the same. it's sometimes harder to communicate. the release brings peace, my love. I wish trust wasn't so hard to come by in this shy blockage I've got all clogged up, paranoid by my own actions, thinking your freedom might repeat itself in ways that will rip me free. you're stuck to me like honey, you're my islebee, make me freeze and see what lies between and find that all love needs is a breath to catch amongst such harsh winds.

garbage in the ocean; endless garbage in the ocean
♪♫♫♪♫ running fluid, flowing like love, like life, like blood, like knowing the living waters from the  throne of God – it starts slow and it builds equatorial storms, tropical sadness as the guitars take you home in reverberations of eternity through endless repetitions of longing through palm-branched alleys and red-dirt gullies breeze caressing guavas and passion-fruit past dictators’ mansions past rusting shantytowns over ditches running with sewage into colors too intense to bear colors to make you cry: greens unseen in cold climates, red earth, flowering jacarandas women walking wrapped in rainbows huge baskets on their heads in the blare of traffic in the madness of African cities through the Congolese night that calls your name and the smell of poor people’s food over cook fires carried on the musical breeze children smile and beggars crawl in the dust of the street obscure wars are fought,  false peace proclaimed while the bones are exhumed as the Congo jazz rolls on, flows on like silver sorrow dancing gold in the heart of darkness past liter bottles of beer sweating cold on the bar table by the flower’s starkness lighting up the midday – when those horns come in on the boat from Cuba, by way of Bruxelles and Paris blaring triumphant and strong like a shipment of diamonds and uranium glittering in the drunken afternoon of a song with no end.

He beams as he enters my bedroom Holding a glass bottle Bout a liter with a light label Ether? (i was already down a hot dessert road with a pint of it in the back on the way to Las Vegas in a red sportscar) No my son Embalming fluid Quickly we scrounge for money And with almost zero effort We had an eighth of some funk We feel rich as we walk And the rain falls A good omen As we smoke a cigarette near the retention pond A falcon picked up a black snake and carried it over the trees Marijuana soaked in embalming fluid The bodies are emptied and filled to help slow down decomposition He reads from Encyclopedia Britannica about embalming I imagine ancient  humans sitting around a fire in the center of the dessert They are throwing  massive amounts of marijuana on the fire Inventing gods and dancing They were each dipped and allowed to fully dry We talk about all the **** our egos have snagged lately As he packs The hit Like plastic to the tongue My lungs become black in an instant Filled with an acrid white smoke Exhale the soul **** that was fast* Stillness in everything The building vibration at the base of my skull Reverberating through me each word         Spirals off into thousands Of volumes of information The processing power Of the machine Capable of this existence the psychotic episode of existence It tries to talk Surely it thinks it is something How fine it is to know that it will all one day end In an instant neither dark nor light I will die And I have no fear of this An instant of life Boiling over to its brim in thoughts To feel one moment of true ignorant blissful love of another soul Love just another reaction to instinct That we love to label with Big long pages of words And inventions to make Them faster until everyone knows what life should be like

I've tried to write you a sonnet so elegant but like daggers my words are too sharp, too harsh. Crumpled pages liter the floor and all of my ink is spent from my attempt to twist phrases into proper English. Nothing can better describe your eyes but the color blue. Perhaps the ocean or the sky? Every metaphor is too cliché. I can’t capture the rich color with words as I see it on you, everything I want to say defies the rules I’m to obey. Sure, I could compare you to a vast and cloudless sky but I’d be missing all of the nuanced details of your face as you send a silent wink and an expressive smirk my way. My inability to describe your eyes has made me into a mental case! I've tried cyan and azure, turquoise and sapphire too, but nothing compares to the beauty I see deep in you.

The Color I Wouldn't Dare Compare
Advanced in years, advanced in life There slouches our grandmother in strife. Winter has set in, no time to laugh For our grandmother is knitting a scarf. Behold the nature devoid Earth, As the grandmother looks through the window. Everyone step outdoors with a dust mask For the air so polluted never was And breathing shall cause dreadful malady. Every time a man digs the soil Only plastics found amid the great toil! Drinking water has been rationalized Only a liter for a huge family. And as our granny knits the scarf She gives up water with a guilty laugh. Her grandson returns home with a thud Covered with sand and drenched with mud But no water to take bath So he holds himself in wrath. Grennary pictures he finds Only in textbook binds. Grandma is beware of all these And takes her mind to the trees. There is only one tree in India That is the great Banyan tree And it is among the 7 wonders of the world. It hardly rains once a year So everyone gets a holiday To see in front the nature appear. Grandma with agony and despair Explains her children how beautiful Earth was, when nature was there. She wrote articles for magazines Describing the birds chirping in peace And the smell of the tranquil breeze. Grandma catches sight of another incident: Only one rose left in the Ooty rose garden And before grandma could give a pardon In Auction was it sold to the highest bidder!!! Never a rose, was seen then. . . . . . But don't worry, we are not in that age now And never we shall get that blow. But our future will, the future generation will Undergo all these torments calling us evil. We now see children playing around the trees We now see animals in deciduous forests We now enjoy rain and greenery. But we will be a nemesis for the future. Let the future not see greenery in books But in reality, in real life let them see brooks. We humans seem to be selfish, for I define: “Only after the last tree has fallen Only after the last river has been poisoned Only after the last fish has been caught Only then will we realize that MONEY cannot be eaten.” Perhaps our world has simply been hijacked if man is to survive we need to act. So, let's act and save our planet "EARTH"

just today, i was walking past a house, where someone was trying to "encourage" an "alcatraz" escapee back into the home & abode...       but as i walked past, and turned around... its pupils were glaring back at me... yellow...     seeing without a camera lens. anyway, i remember times, maybe before the digital way of encoding photographs,    that on a rare occasion, in a photograph, your pupils would turn red...                           perhaps due to dilation, and the idea of the dark room being morbid omni-red...                               you can't encourage cats to do what you want them to do... you might put a collar on a cat, but you can't exactly attach a leash to that collar...                it would be like telling a gorilla: grow some testicles on your head!                        but yeah... yellow pupils of a cat without taking a photograph, and the once upon a time red pupils of peoples' eyes in photographs...    cat's yellow pupils in the night.    right now? this is a digression by the way...      i'm thinking of innovating egg-fried rice... cook the rice... fry an egg... jumble the two together, and add some bits & bobs to the mixture...    soya sauce.... and sweet chili sauce...                        i'm scheming up a recipe for a mongol...         i'd love to see a cat with an american spy in a soviet museum... sleep deprived...                  just a "thought" experiment...                      it would probably equate to seeing idiotic people making cats ingest l.s.d. tabs in america     that were once available online...       ubran myths these days, i'm afraid...                           well, you know... people have their kicks and pleasures...                          the only people i have respect for are the people i'd sit down and eat some food with. respect and people i'd drink with? i'm a lone wolf in that respect... i prefer my own company when drinking a liter of *** and trying to think up some bonkers recipe on the sly. oh... the wolfish hunger recipe? add 3 pieces of rye bread with some butter, just before falling asleep... next day? a **** that comes out of your *** like a knife cutting through butter.

Hello coastline Hello winter Hello solitary moonlit drive I'll be enchanting blank pages with poetry as you waste away city-side Tragic and lamenting but fading as I moan You are my empty ***** liter as I glide I'm the dawn breaking through your curtains as you roam Goodbye afternoons Goodbye white lies Good bye little lace ivory dress I'll be slashing through the semblance of symmetry as you ask the bartender for yet another splash You'll be beautiful on the pavement and novels of mystery as my overdrive desires and loneliness inevitably crash Hello bloodstreams and ****** Marys Goodbye falsified kindness and sorrow Hello sparrows and destiny's bone marrow Goodbye Hudson views and embraces on the ferry Hello empty skylines and generalizations Goodbye comforters and pillows side revelations You were so crimson in your shining armor You were so elegant as love's fine soldier I was so isolated in the stone and glass of the tower The lake sparkled like a diamond in our final hour Goodbye romeo, hello sad song's flow goodbye april hello unfaithful.

falling is a weird sensation I've never failed to fall, tripping on the curb of your hip more over, I've never failed to fall for you, that first autumn back lit morning,  the day you caught my eye and the past is a funny game. i made my move , never can i step back to change my ways and yes...yeh..it hasn't been easy and no...never, would i ever change it, because  the rapids of my home river have shaped the boat in which i use to sail, my soul has been carved from limestone cliff faces dangled over by tight lipped trees to tired to give me their secrets you are.. you are a thought. a being I've never come by before your a bend in the river where the current slows.. your a cliff face with my name carved into it, even though I've never once taken a knife to your surface you are comfort, like looking into a mirror i see myself, and for the first time in my life for the very first time.. I've looked into a mirror and smiled and sweet heart I'm going too look into your eyes and say softly that I'm glad, I'm glad your a mountain that's already been climbed I'm glad its not my flag that rests in the arrow like crest of your ginger scrawled hair I'm glad because the men who charge to summits leave nothing but a flag and some foot prints i want to be the man for you, the man who climbs your peaks daily.. the one who makes sure your looked after, a forest ranger to preserve your sanity, to make sure your soul although fractured and aching. can roam free, but I've ranted now, ill sign of my love letter with but a drip of blood, and a Liter of love, continue your course sweet heart and you wont need to steal  the chest that houses my heart ill give you the key LG
