"motoring" poems
My personal déjà-vu-time memory-prompts that frame
The blurring patterns of today’s hubcap-wheels, spinning
Kaleidoscope flashbacks of bathtub playtime.
A gaggle of giggling girls babbling about
What used to matter : umbrella-popping chewing gum
With gallivanting jargon laced in crushes-hushed : boy-talk.
Pillows : Comforters morphing, swarming like
Womb-entranced, half-cupped palms calmed
Palpitating mouths motoring off self-pitying rumble-grumbles.
How the clopping ball of opted-birr was a bent-mouth birdcall
Over-relished, over-zealous imploration : a round robin
Jumblemix of a jejune bombast for slap-sticked power.
By-and-by polysyllabic buds bloomed, baked, and wrinkled
Past-Gas’s long-gone jokes : those balmy snug-hugs guarding
Doltish vulgarity among the begrimed-glitch and old-grown-boring Jive.

Past-Gas’s long-gone jokes : those balmy snug-hugs guarding
Based-vulgarity amongst the begrimed-teeth-sucking and homegrown-Jive.

In the mood to have a drink,
A glass of champagne,
Watch Big Ben count down the time,
Until the New Year enters in,
Party Poppers popping proudly,
Magic music motoring,
In the mood to have a dance,
A dance to enchant,
Watch the fireworks explode,
The clock meets the midnight hour,
Party Poppers popping proudly,
Magic music motoring.

every word birthed and in format,
crafted by this mans poor
life motoring skills,
is the sole fault of his fault lines,
all taken, this responsibility
but the good that transverses the
arteries and veins of his profferings,
fair credit shared now and then,
for those that listen to these,
his poetic heartbeats,
raise him up to more than he can be...

(For Sia Jane)
once he wrote:
"Writing is more important than any of the individual senses that feed this (writing) addiction. Without sound, sight, touch, smell and taste, I can (still) live quite well."
and she loved this,
for well she lived this ideation
so textual emendation
for this girl,
one of god's human poems
irony kick in the head,
truth driven home by body of late,
crossed and staked,
weeks pass, I cannot taste or smell,
eyesight distorted by streaming eyes, no matter,
sight, sees only a decrepit man lousy
repeating repetitiously older spasms of writing,
all this time he is one
who touches nothing lest he infect the world,
with something other than joy...
all thanks to some insidious bacterial invaders
and one or two Lifetime Movie Channel dramas
playing out in full color in his own sad reality
so let me amend my prior write,
for this time, I make no overly boastful claims,
for I could pen nary a verse all these hours,
that was deserved of your affection...
write I could with any one of the five,
if four were repleted, deleted, none elited,
but one is
this man's de minimus
need at least one to function,
to master the bronco impulse to create...
don't matter which one,
which orifice writes the code,
all sensory inputs end up residing
in your heart and soul
but gotta have at least one in order to
express my love for love...
and if I can't do that,
then experience shows,
no way can the being supersede its
thrumming, hum drumming, existence,
motoring along highways circularized
of watching old tv shows
if I lose my hands I will write with
elbows, nose or toes...
my tongue cut, my mind will love more,
its recollection of your taste, delicious twice over
blinded and bereft, my mind's eye
will do double shifts, get paid overtime,
for reliving connecting your birthmarks
my jesting muted, my seers closed,
my nostrils sealed, even terminated,
dare you think, that I cannot hear or
smell my thoughts,
of the pleasure of a world in which
loves existence demands we heal the sick at heart,
so we can
extend love to ourselves and others
beyond the mere limitations
of our corporeal senses....
one, but one, all I need,
any one, in order to
sense who I am,
to love, and be loved,
therefore,
to write

An pleasant night...Amore mild ,than wild.
You..zoomin,stumbling,moving alright
for my most,minimised sets of vision insights.
Made in...moved in for meeting without no consciences of moonshine.
We Smiled..it shined,tough to deny the uprise..the valued climb.
Where everything seems to rhyme.
Or was i at the center of meltdown on my melting point.And you kept mesmerising.
It took a'while to memorise..you were too mazed to measurise,to my surprise.
Or was it you,on the monocyclic ride in &off; my mind.And i'd still moo down like an moonbeam ,my way.
Morphed down,above some waves...moss hags, mrches across our way,the muted disguise.
Dis-mantling apart my motor cortex and hers as well.
Motoring,defflexing us far away
Misprized off,what we hold of
we were misplaced...mislayed so cruel,the perfect mishap.
Waving off,from the monstrance of our retraction
irreticulating without no demise
Avowed i stood by..Upon those marks,beyond the maze of multiplicated edges
'Hope they'll know..Coz we knw weGA

in her eighties
motoring in wisdoms and whimble
beddened by stroke subtle effects
and an unlucky stumble
agilely un-humble
willing to poach after life put in the work
willing to comb back in old welcome habits
revive living through past youthful revisits

Passing up through the stairs unencumbered ensnared
Through these walls there is nothing left
Only the feeling that I have sorely mistepped
Was there fervor in the cup of nines?
Was there magic all the while inside?
Destiny shouts out loud at the roving crowd
Dead on the Earth and a walking around
Telling me something as I stare far away
The world is a real place with real disgrace
Caught in the whirlwind of evaporation
I took the notes, I took the boats, now I'm floating fast
Knowing now that it will never last
Too hear these voices inside of my head
And these fast faces passing by headed to bed
I'm thinking of their reasons of sizzling in being
Where the streets have no names and the sign posts are twisted
Lost with no dollar signs so I keep on a drifting
Where time has no handle on me, only the body
With the teller handing out bank notes, can't say that she wrote
And the whine of the train whistle taking me home
To a place way back that I no longer know
With heads that seem familiar but are actually not at all
With the creeping wind breaking and I won't make it till Fall
There were ways to win a woman that were elegant and bold
Now there is too much, every minute is being told
We are not supposed to know these things with these tricks
The Man has its magic, to know all is tragic
Saluting in sorrow knowing that I can no longer borrow
Shifting my gaze high towards the cracking yellow sky
A wind roars woefully all the while knowingly
Music moves motoring toward a horizon creaking and showing
To lose a love is to lose a way of life
Hours spent in head bent, knee buckled strife
How have I tossed myself into this place, this mischief?
To belong in a world that has never seemed like home,
I feel inside the guts a twisted and shifted
Low low low these hours do pass by and slow
Help me see the light
Help me be alright

Motoring.
Listlessly.
Evening crawl.
Halogen blue-blur.
Spit-shines clear.
The asphalt highway.
That goes no where.
Solemn moon.
Pale and dull.
Leans against the rock people.
Walking the desert.
In disguise.
Quiet winds.
Deaf and aphasic.
Feed the alluvial ribbons.
That perch the stoic.
Introverted.
Black Apache elevations.
Cliffs of blened sandstone.
Surrender without a fight.
To the oily, alien sky.
Slumbering in the night.
Silent partner.
Nameless horse.
Sandscape still.
Geological corpse.
Lifeless.
Barren.
Thirsty too.
My Valentine's Day.
Without you.
