"loggerheads" poems
This feeling... Heavy... Like a wreath bearing down my neck. Every fibre in me seem to be at loggerheads. My heart... Pounding. Each beat is a hammer sledging away at my saneness. My breaths... Premature and short. Inconsistent. I respire full but with punctured lungs.

#*Love the sloth in my mind Busy sloth-ing away it’s time The cheetah, somewhere around Slogging away all the while The two at loggerheads Tearing up my heart The Mind, a multitasker The Heart put to tasks Time to summon the tortoise I surmise*#

Sloth & Cheetah - Unwind
In their discombobulated lives no matter what occurs Mrs Um and Mr Er never quite concur Continually at loggerheads Sparring is their game Life like this is normal now Really it's a shame Mrs Um for her hols wants to fly to Spain Mr Er would prefer Turkey on the train Mrs Um would like a dog, what he says to that Is well now let me see, er, I think we need a cat Where to put the cross this time I don't know do you Mrs Um votes red Mr Er votes blue So they end up doing nothing As on nothing they agree How they ever got together Certainly beats me

These canaries go on chattering without an end in their yellowish green language,isn't it queer? Ambivalent I remain, are they at loggerheads with one another? noisy canaries, aren't they a bother                                                       why can't they sit quiet, and listen to the silence? But  the canaries are a spirited lot,seems to create a world they like. what they say is unintelligible, should I listen to them? A bit, I did, then it acts on me in more ways I than can imagine. One can sit eyes shut as long as one wish,                                                           their tweets are sweet after all. The canaries have a musical gift and a language of their own they incessantly chant, it takes time to discern it's essence,I find. There is an expert in canary speak; what's his name? Yes, Brian, should I get his help to get it explained? my thoughts turn more focus on the mysteries of canaries. "Listening to them did a lot of good to you"says my girl. The doctor is very supportive to the cause of canaries. "There is wonder in the results of your blood works" he tells. "The canaries are braking new grounds in my life" I realize "My blood pressure is down without any medicine",  cool. I begin to realize what Canary symbolism means, they led me to a life style never did I dream before as if by some magic, now I perfectly understand their language she tells me how quick I am in picking  emotions nowadays! would you believe this , the canaries are my Gurus nature gifted, teaching me living, loving and flying away without making noise.

Invested in you I find our better angels give ground ******* by our egalitarian feelings for each other Trumpeted by Gabriel’s miscast players Bedeviled, we take what are yours, mine, and ours Accumulated wealth protected from predators Gives in to charitable impulse Gives out, a gated community against colored encroachment My bias against the opposition Dissolves in your arms We resolve to devote our energy Toward getting off on the best footing available Place where we care and don’t simultaneously Then make fun of our foibles laughing at each other The same way black and white grays as we mature color blind Loggerheads whipsawed and dovetailed Until we forget why we ever came together in the first place Then remember this location, this smell, this touch, this taste Karass, storm's eye, held center, Kane's rosebud cathected

Cathexis
Sparse grass adorns the hillside Thinly green against the grey, Where lurking bull ant wolf packs Hunt where chirping crickets play. Way too thin to waft in breezes Way too thin to really count Like bad dealerships in Chevrolet Mostly struggle to surmount. Like thin pacifists in fist fights Race, back peddaling for the door, When, in fact, the convenience Is a bullet through the floor. And hot starlets jiggle **** jobs Strutting carpet, red as rose, Imitating, superficially here, Whoredom wishing to impose. Those roaring Russians, in denial As their cheating athlete’s pale, All denied their right of entry To Olympia’s Holy Grail. And insipidly they all collapse In fracking’s blatant wake, Leaving gloating, fat Americans Gorging merrily on steak. Whilst the oceans are advancing As the ice floes dissipate, And the clamour is ignored Though Island nations inundate. Fractious currencies do vacillate In global bouts of greed, Where the rich are fatly richer And the rest in desperate need. Where all truth is but a fantasy Which everyone ignores, Where expediency is the answer And future proofing snores. Black distrusts the whiteness Islam hates the Jew, East and West at loggerheads What hope now…. for you? Oh sparse grass adorns the hillside Thin green against the grey, Where the morrow is a vaugary And worrisome it’s way. M. Friday 13th November 2015

Sparse Grass
It's a place where you would rather not be engaged in a quarrel and unable to agree. Between two strangers or with one you know in a display of words disagreement to show. A sad state of affairs and opposite of harmony usually about something they did not foresee. Ending with both parties not seeing eye to eye and very often it's without a clear reason why. It could be one taking more and giving back less to the other who considers the matter in distress. Or perhaps ignoring to do what should be done in our duty to one another that incurs a bad run. If a lack of trust or deception has been at play there are suspicions that don't easily go away. 'Honesty's the best policy' known and cherished without this relationships only end up perished. Especially when there are two interests at stake one against the other much trouble they'll make. Keep away from being at loggerheads if you can as it may end up in a fight with your fellow man. _______________

At Loggerheads
The lion was extremely lonely He was wandering around, singing I am at loggerheads with you, world Vomited, watching rabbits eat from the same green plate Got fever watching crocodiles wallow, wet, in water and in sunshine Sprained the neck in the giraffe’s interference in neighbour’s affairs Got all seized up in the tortoise’s stillness Which wouldn’t put its limbs or head outside, scared of being tried as a witness Deafness because of the praises sung by foxes Lonelier than the lonely because of sickness The envy was For the freedom trees had on earth as well as the skies The surprise was About the solidarity of ants, bees, herds of deer while they grouped Fear was the lair Courage was the ATM card Unhappiness was, That the royal insignia which got imprinted in the soil Closed all doors of any living presence coming near It was with the heart of the storm that I walked among the plants “The form of beast that swallowed fire”, Was what the elephants murmured among themselves Doff the silk attire of loneliness and come, Invited water His aim in the well was a life partner

Suicide
I footslog at loggerheads with myself just like a mad dog that bites its own tail. I plot a lese majesty but is the monarchy a travesty or is it me? Moving on to the stadium it radiates, a symposium under an open sky, I wonder why I am here. Then a cheer echoes from the throats of those dressed ties and fancy coats and floats noisily, just like the ocean that crashes lazily into a sea wall. I fall, a thermometer and try to gauge the temperature, it's as cold as a tomb and no room for the footslogger or the tail he tries to chase. The sound of the clock that turns around a closed in universe appears worse in the mornings when I wake.

WOW!!! IMAGINE BIBLICALLY DONE ART I went to Genesis hotel through Exodus road. On the way, I saw Leviticus recording the Numbers of people at Deuteronomy, while Joshua was waiting at the Beautiful gate for Judges to see Ruth calling loudly "Samuel ! Samuel ! At a stage, the first and second Kings of Chronicles 1 & 2, were coming to visit Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther for the misfortune of Job their brother. They started singing Psalms and teaching children Proverbs concerning Ecclesiastes and Songs of Solomon. This coincided with the period that Isaiah was engaged in Jeremiah's Lamentations together with Ezekiel and Daniel their friends. By that time, Amos and Obadiah were not around. Three days later, Hosea, Joel and Jonah travelled in the same ship with Micah and Nahum to Jerusalem. Habakkuk then visited Zephaniah who introduced him to Haggai a friend of Zechariah whose cousin is Malachi. Immediately after the tradition, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John got involved in Acts of the Romans who were behaving like the 1st Corinthians group because the 2nd Corinthians group were always at loggerheads with the Galatians. At that time too, they realized that the Ephesians and Philippians were close to the Colossians, and a suggestion for the first Thessalonians visit was made, and that on their second Thessalonians visit, they should first of all see the first and second of the Timothy brothers who had gone to the house of Titus to teach Philemon his younger brother how to read and write in Hebrew. On hearing this, James asked Peter twice to explain to him how the three Johns have disclosed to Jude the Revelations of this journey.

Kick along Soul wrenched; set, test; Unfurl the ocean’s breast Undulating mother rhymes Dispersing horseshoe ***** in Time Sticks figure in the sand Underwater forests with foreign bands Of kelp and chemical sisters Twisted into ***** blisters Form along my feet, the cool of the breeze Whetted with salt and seagulls Screaming with heat Tease us with this tempest postcard Cartoonish starfish, loggerheads The genius of Mother Nature Ripping herself to shreds

Hateful campaigns polarize The public; salacious scandals abound; Demagogues stir up the voters; Vicious rumors are passed around; Threats are made if one's opponent Wins the race; fake news spreads; Internal strife within the parties Has the members at loggerheads; Security leaks flow from the top; Vitriolic accusations Denigrate opponents; we hear Of more and more allegations; Threats are levied at the free press; The masses suspect the educated; Verbal assaults on the judiciary Are brazen and unsubstantiated; Fears of election fraud are raised; Hypocrisy knows no end; Little attention is paid to the truth As people don't care whom they offend; Candidates "pump the popular passions"; Hush money's paid; stories don't jibe As lawmakers find themselves Susceptible to paying a bribe. It sounds like politics and elections In America from what we've seen Happening in the past few years Leading up to twenty eighteen. But this was also America In the year 1800.  Since such Chaos occurred back then as well, It shows we haven't changed that much. -by Bob B (3-30-18)
