"litre" poems
This is an ode to my friends. For the ones I've loved since day one the ones I have learnt to love and for the ones I hate to love. This is for my friend, for the one, I got drunk with first. We stole a litre bottle of cider and four beers then drank them in the park at midnight. This is an ode to my friend who cries at parties, who swears he will die alone. This is for my friend who laughs at every joke, the **** and comedian but shakes when no one is looking. This is an ode to my friends, for the one who's grandma is dying but they still, manage to draw on a smile and present a joke. This is for my friend who has depression, Or the friend who has anxiety, and asks me to speak for her at restaurants, This is an ode to my friends, who is finally taking control of her body after being trapped in the wrong one. For the friend who is scared to leave the house when it's icy because he might slip and hurt his *** For the friend, I fancied till I was sixteen, and even though it's been years my lips still burn when I look at her. This is an ode to my friends who leave me out of conversations. who have inside jokes they sprout when I'm around This is for the ones that went to the movies to see the film they knew I was dying to see. This is an ode to my friend, who broke her leg whilst dancing in her favourite musical, and the part was given to someone else. This is for the friend whose mother died when she was 12 but she remains the strongest person ever. This is an ode to those who forget I'm their friend, who ignore me when they're upset, who tell me daily that they love me, who cry at Disney movies, who laugh at videos of past times, who I hate that I adore, who I cry over, because I can't make them happy anymore. This is an ode to my friends, for the one who is so self-conscious, he wears baggy jumpers to hide his stomach. This is an ode to my friend who has scary parents, for the friends who made a pyramid out of stones and raised a nation, for the friends who try their hardest and still achieve nothing, for my friends the world has seemingly forgotten, This is an Ode to my friends, the ones I know I will die loving, they give me cups of tea with two sugars when I'm having a bad episode, for the ones that cry when they hear a certain song, because it reminds them of when I tried to off myself in the toilet, for the one that has never had a kiss, for the one who refuses to get married. This is an ode to my friends, the family I chose, the ones that send me stupid messages at four am, then question why I'm awake so late. For the friend that gets blackout drunk, for the one with weak knees, who, when she laughs, falls to the ground in a fit of giggles, for the friends, I will marry, loving. Speak now or forever hold your peace, An ode to my friends, who I love more than anything, as we collapse through the stars, I'll hear them laughing at a joke.

I once woke up screaming because I dreamt the price of gas was only 7 cents a litre. It was a scream of holy infinite ecstasy and I believe I also woke to discover I'd had an ****** in my sleep. My voice was deeper. Puberty is a beautiful thing. Economics was prettier in my head.

Heading west from La Pesa to the streets of Calabazar for a trip to the markets, a dance through bazaars. The lighthouse in Cayo Guano lit the way to the end of the day as we snorkelled deep off the archipelago. The night filled with Hemingway's stories being drip fed a litre of *** as the moon slipped behind old Havana awaiting the birth of the sun.

A litre of cider later And its like nothing matters The good memories are fading And the dreams are tattered And shattered But nonetheless gone, Down the drain, the sink, my throat you wring with your cold dead hands and your heartless plans to decieve and manipulate but i still persist the love, torment hence One litre of cider later, im by myself still watching, waiting for the phone to ring i pop another pill to fill me with joy and happiness but all i feel is haze as everything swirls the days sweep by if only it was faster.

A litre of Cider later..
we went to Little Blue that summer in a bum'd car. riding in extravagance we couldn't afford. camping in the Oklahoma ozarks, we brought liquor. the two of us drank a half-litre honey whiskey and twenty-eight of thirty Pabsts. your chick only nab'd two. we were sunk from that point on. i vomit'd behind the car, and there were left retched handprints. left were a phantom's handprints, having been drown'd by their hedonism. the bikers partied along with us apart from us. they ask'd to use our hatchet, that's the way we met. men share tools, and that was the only instance of civility for two days. we ran feral. rip'd shirt to ribbons, wrap'd them 'round a stick, soak'd citronella, commenced adventure. returning,    two hours time gone; returning,    scratch'd and bleeding; returning,    we lit their paths with    torch burning a primal fire; sleep, pass'd out by fire in lounge chair. been in this spot before, knew to bring a quilt and mine was the only one. startled awake, fire nothing more than nightlight embers. raccoon, sitting upright, stared from his high perch of a picnic table. apple in paws, nibbling, he mock'd and monitor'd. i swiped at it with a stick, missed. said **** it. slept in the car that night.

memories. pt1
Smudges of dirt into the hair, His eyes had black rings under and around as he sat on the ground fully fury bearded face, like a raccoon. But he was a man. The bandage adhesive surrounded what was a mark in the center of his forehead, a red welt that had encountered a hard harsh reality, a beating and a loss. The hospital was just around the corner. But he was homeless. He had his second place prizes, empty bottles of liquid to sanitize hands lifted by his, tortured short fingers, surprisingly agile, laughing at his own guile. The hospital is just around the corner. And his two litre bottle stash, under his coat, behind his back, in the long grass. He was crouched behind the chain link fence, smiled and laughed to himself as the dog and I walked by, what could I offer him that he didn't already have, he wore A coat, he had A toque, he had currency in the form of half a gallon of hand sanitizer, he was happy, I heard him laugh, saw a broken tooth, and cut lip, his world and my world, were not far apart even though, we could only taste the other's reality. He is a homeless man and I don't know his name.

The monsoon cloud swooped low to **** her and the night seemed to wear the darkest cloak Three miles down south she had gone to the weekly haat for half a litre of earth oil thru mud as thick as her desire for a small glow in her thatched hut When she reached the stream she paused on the brink and then like an added note to the music of rain her swan little frame glided to the other bank The wind was shivering but she was warm in the dream of one small light in her home to **** the demon of dark

a ****** christmas poem (also a shopping list)
YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TATTOOED TUMMY I like eating very much, call it a passion coz obsession sounds too mad. Give me a sandwich tuna mayo one sliced tomato on bread times two. Not enough! Time for chicken donner on nan with everything on: hot sauce, salad cream with salad, peppers too, Jalapeno style. Add an order for onion barges, samosas and chips in pita bread with mild sauce on. Yummy yummy in my tattooed tummy! Half an hour later, an Italian beckons. His pizza looks cool! I say three types of meat, sliced, on top. Extra cheese, deep pan and two types of olives. Munchy time and yes, I enjoy this meal. Later… What next? English fish and chips with salt and vinegar and a drop of gravy. No mushy peas, I hate them! I’ll take two fish cakes on the side. Traditional English grub down the hatch. Then meat and potato pie on a muffin. Careful not to burn my mouth! Did that before. Yummy yummy in my tattooed tummy! Time for some American influence, supersize me! Huge portion of fries, mega big burger and a litre of strawberry milkshake. I’m multicultural in my diet. Foreign people are cool when it comes to their cuisine. I love Norwegian apple juice, as I need a drink after eating their goats’ cheese on rough white bread. Yummy yummy in my tattooed tummy! Chinese crispy duck is desirable, just like egg fried rice and prawn crackers. All available food is welcome, I’ll eat your left over’s on my trip of eating. Yummy yummy in my tattooed tummy!

YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TATTOOED TUMMY
Our grandmother sat in the corner, an irish-plaid towel hung over her legs, in a wheel chair, drinking two litre bottles of apple juice and orange juice, the little droplets hanging off her chin, her head tilted back. She said as a little girl, she would always try to get as much vitamin c as possible if she felt herself getting sick. Now she just drowned herself in the stuff. We kept telling her orange juice is not a viable cure for cancer, so she started drinking apple juice too. She got diagnosed with cancer a few days after our grandfather died. They say couples always pass within a few months of each other. My grandmother hated my grandfather, so her vigorous orange and apple juice guzzling was really an ambition of divorcing his name from her in death; she didn’t care whether she passed or kept on living another hundred years, so long as no one associated her death with his. As I left I locked up, remembering to leave my key in the door for Rooty (whenever he got home). We could only afford one key, and couldn’t afford a doormat to leave it under. I told grandma if she just went two days without buying lotto tickets, we could get another key. She says it’s just her luck that one of those days would be the day her ticket goes to someone else. I didn’t see it mattered, she was gonna die any day now anyway. She wants to win so bad I often think if she did win, she’d die right there on the spot, her life’s greatest ambition crossed off the last line of her to-do list, and being too dead to claim it would be forced to forfeit the prize leaving us here alone with one key, a cellar full of juice and still no doormat.

A litre of hot tears fall from angry eyes.. But never it reduces the fire inside of me.... If the heavy falling rain could fight the forest fire... Why couldnt my tears do just the same...? Just because I come out strong, doesnt mean there is nothing wrong. Smiling has always been easier to fake... Rather than to explain the Burn in 0ne's Heart ??? Every tear is a sign of brokeness, every silence is a sign of loneliness, I always smile and shed a secret tear... Wishing it heals my internal scars... I went in the rain and i walked in the dark... Who says water helps in putting of fire? My eyes do not show anymore tears may be.. But in my heart is heavy downpour.... How come the fire is there .. its still there... Its the fire burning inside of me ... its burning.. burning hot.. I wish each drop of salty tear would erase the flame.... For I promise myself would never to cry again..... Would it be worth to shed a tear of mine ever again? Each drop of a tear is precious ...then anything in the world No one knows its true value for they ‘ve not learnt the pain... I hide a tear and pretend to smile... My body is trembling my heart is burning... ..... You wouldn't know how it feels... To have to hide a tear.... Not until you have it in your own eyes for someone so dear..

" Du Kannst Mich am Arsch Licken'' '' Kiss my Ass'' the 1 litre cider bottle's out he takes a swig then throws his old head back simulating electric chair death throws, silence permeates the wary room '' Baby....don't....go'' '' Long live Rock n' Roll'' in his thick German accent before that he asked *'' Who is Allen Ginsberg- really, Howl, poetry?''* someone afterwards says *'' It's like seeing the ghost of Bukowski''* the room doesn't say much but I feel a warmth for him, reminding me of my heart's home: Berlin. Yes, the Germans they're like this, they don't take any **** their hearts are made of grit & their drunks are different from ours, yes, they talk of Nijinsky & the Ballet Russes intellectuals even when they're plastered *'' You may be my enemy but with a drink you are my friend''* he said & echoes of the War permeated the dark & faded time back to the present opening the night to better things

for i cannot tell a lie i really do hate being alive i hate knowing that there's a mere six litres of blood in our bodies that's three two-litre bottles of soda three two-litre bottles of soda is all that keeps me here and i hate it i hate knowing that the leafcutter ant can hold up to fifty times its weight in its jaw and i can't even hold myself up throughout the day for there is no one weaker than i no one who has struggled as much as i and i hate it i hate knowing that the people i once knew and opened myself up to have blocked me out of their minds but i can't seem to get them out of mine i hate that so much but i'm not filled with hate i love the moon the moon is all i have left in life to look up and look forward to and on the nights where he hides and i can only see him behind closed eyes i hope he can still hear me when i tell him i've been doing just fine and i'm not lying i really mean it, i swear i mean it's just so hard these days, you know? wish you were here

I can feel me ******* breaking under gray skies As I dream of red eyes And green grass CPT Slime and Rasta's daft laughs And the taste of tobacco on your tongue While I wash up in SlimeyG's kitchen Good God, if I wasn't there, that infamous week would've been filthy! We can feel The bass ******* it through the sideboard SlmieyG's lounge walls are shaking hard And we cackle bare When Big Gay tumbles grinning downstairs So I stick the kettle on Good God, we caned a litre of milk in one round of teas! I can hear Those slimey green dawgs singing loud When we bring Tom's cake out And his face is a chuffin' picture At the realisation of the six-layers' topper So throw him a Clipper Good God - eighteen, eighteen, EIGHTEEN tokes to clear it! So, will you? Can we all get together? We'll feel alright For just one more warm hazy night And when we sing these songs Of freedom, we'll laugh in peace together. So long To misery, my brothers

Summertime
They removed the thermostats, And made us pay for every cup of water we used, I was standing in the rain, With a white friend and a Servant. We marveled at the homemade architecture, Hopped the rivulets of grime, And heaved big sighs. I asked him why there were, Water tanks with signs that read, Twenty shillings a litre. He said, They sell water here too. Scottish men protect, Single malt whiskey, Welsh women, The language they speak, My Palestinian friend once told me, Water, Israelis keep.

When water tasted as good as my Palestinian friend said it would
He took a few cups of love, he took one table spoon of patience, three grams of generosity, one litre of kindness, two spoons of laughter and commitment, with a mixture of happiness, added lots of faith and support, stirred it very well wisely. Then he let everybody take a sip... #‎And‬ that's how he took your woman...

In the salted corner of the square, A small glass door opened to watery air; I glanced down there throughout siesta, Anxious at the root of a dry tongue For wine squeezed from the ochre hills Behind Cambrils, she sold in empty Water bottles, a Euro for a litre. I hurried down through the Casa Gallau, Quickly as my sunburn would allow; Dove into light as though onto hot sand, Around cars that sounded like fire fights, Squinting in the peppered, robust sun And in - the old woman waiting, “Adeu!” Then back upstairs, but slower now: To watch TV in Catalan; to face A frying pan balcony; to get drunk and think of rain.

The Riojano
I am somewhere between the nadir and the zenith with the wind that blows behind me and who will find me now? or do I bow before the circumstance,or take a chance,step out from the twilight,two steps out to the dark night,slight chance that there just might be ,somewhere other than this place that seems to fit this soul so tightly. Down there, the air became pollute,resolution has dissolved into the swamp like stew we once emerged from, crawl and sprawl our signature as if our nature was the hunting man, neanderthal. And Cro-Magnon thought he had the lot,he had not and never did. The times are dreary,weary men walk home from work,exerting pressures on their tired bones and California was a dream they had in famine fare when food was scarce as were the ferry berths. Up there, the air gets clearer,smelling sweeter but palisades are built and pirates sell it by the litre to the thirsty,nothing beats a bit of commerce,it could be worse I don't know how I think I'll bow to circumstance.

Flying paper planes
He carried a two litre bottle of the cheapest cider, Semi-hidden under a tattered coat lapel, So desperately, That It looked as if He was shielding The heart of lover, Too heavy to bear. And he made for the exit Like it was salvation. The cashier just looked on And thought To himself, with pity- How the bad goes With the bad.
