"pouches" poems
The sun bakes down heavily on a plastic micro planet in Orlando, Florida where crowded trams drop American bushels of tourists into an alien world. Quickly fantasy comes alive through a corporation of disguise. The workers mask themselves in a drapery of familiar life -like costumes to charm little children’s hearts. They smile wildly, carving a clear dimple line on the but of their cheeks. Walt’s Disney World must have driven every one of America’s circuses out of business. The flying trapeze is too elegant, people now want to be strapped in, buckled up and whipped around to forcibly experience the true velocity of entertainment. Even the participant’s attire is geared for this third world oblivion. Neon ***** packs rest like bloated kangaroo pouches on fat sweaty old lady’s round hips, their plump fingers holding on to leashed harnesses reined to their child’s small chest. This is vacation, strangers of people in massive conglomerations with confused expressions and burnt faces. Even the food seems wickedly unnatural, like an artificial order of burning plastic and sour dough surprise. Waiting is the enthusiast’s pastime as parades of anxious voyeurs are captivated by a trance fixation of lights and whistles. They line up like schools of lemming, plunging on rides, one by one. This is the place Where memories are made And dreams come true

Walt Disney World, Orlando Florida
The Warden announces; as the Diseased children cower in fear, The mother stands beside the Warden. "Evy'body remain calm, The Plague doc'or is 'ere!" May God forbid; That you ever see that Mask, Those cloaks, those masks, those herbs and flasks... It creeps towards the children; Looming in the silence. equipped with little mind for medicine, a cane for violence. Those soulless eyes, the Putridly herbal aroma close, they despise, but this masked creature ignores their cries. The warden feeding mother Lies. Dimly lit the cold room, the pungent fume, ''I'll leave 'im to it" The warden leaves. but the Doctor stays and silently breathes. Question on the matter if this Doctor's even Sane, As it stares upon the child then whips him with the cane. No Law defies, the Mother Cries. Pulling out it's Vials of vial Herbs, this Freak, Staring coldly around the silent room, pointing everywhere, it's beak. It passes the two Children pouches of leaves; Mother grieving, everybody remain Calm, The Plague Doctor is leaving!

The Plague Doctor
Beneath the surface of the earth, Beneath the green and sodden turf, Wendy wombat, supreme digger Raced to make her tunnels bigger, Pulling dirt with mighty claws And toiling hard without a pause Ensconced within her little pouch, So small they had no need to crouch, Her children slept, all warm and dry, As mud and dirt went flying by, Quite unaware how nature planned To lend them all a helping hand For wombat pouches don't get full Of dirt and mud as mommies pull, For mother nature in her wisdom Looked upon her magic kingdom, Saw the wombats under ground And wisely turned their pouches round!

Wendy the Wombat
Stretching and shouldering night away a sun crouches to birth black's ousting by one more empty circle of dark's hollowed pouches then outs in sparkling showers. Spangled with myriad star-labour unfolding membranes, like numberless leaves dreamers listen to soft serenades as the universe favours lullaby-songs to deep breathing. Silvered surface shivers with night-eyes as glittery dust follows with dart-swift flight each soul's winged journey while murmuring such mysteries to those sleeping still. Glimmers on sightless horizon reveal light's celebration while untrodden dew newly writhing in close-capped life waits inertia's frame stirring to shake before rising. Piercing the brain time's needle regathers worn threads and remembers that more sown seed means now-grown grain needs re-collection in daylight's mind-aware storage. Open-eyed, naught is over as hinging on less or more, sun, with slumber done, now hurries to open the thin partition between yawns of torpidity to more hours won.

Time's Needle.
the green and waxy confusion is your cape and covering topaz wings strum and flutter, branches snap beast and bug geranium and dogwood woodear spore and wolfsbane flower and firm hedge all wear goosebumps: the whole army of generation, the waft and release ready to conceive, to love and make root to spill and **** daylight, moonlight well-fed and hungry west and further west a brush against your thigh flattens you climbs your spine like a curse robes you in purpose to be and be alone there you are: croucher, scuttler, position known only to yourself subclade of womankind treasure in your soul (in purses and pouches; taking in, taking in) it is private here and musty you own your hands, your knees, the dirt under them both, the roots beneath that, everything on the wind and below the blue sky everything dark, and everything light: kingdom of your own discovery shroud and mountain and cache of mystery. A door far away slides open an echo of busy house, busy bones on the air. Something in the oven. Something in the heart. What is the voice calling? Who wants you home, child? And if home is a warm meal, a bed, a bath, a glass of milk, a known touch, then do you own your skin? Aren't you small and lonely? You are not.

In the Wild
It’s all laundry and cigarettes
 White-knuckle odd jobs
 And freezing your *** off, at 7 AM, to
 Help your buddy out Breaking and bleeding, and 
Smoking and shirtless, and
 Spinning your finger and thumb
 Counter-clockwise until the 
Resulting ring of fire and fury can 
Torch your inhibitions No one ever restricted you from
 Rioting with grace
 And through the windshield of your vision,
 The streets wake up to the smell of
 Alcohol and experience It’s all rubble in dumpsters, and
 Spray paint that swears 
 Oaths, to bands and bandages 
Singing the praises of 
 Stolen promises, their swiftly
 Prying minds can’t understand And you’re standing
 In front of the truck 
Arms outstretched 
Pistons firing air through your
 Organs, that vibrate with the
 Trepidation of nightmarish resolve It’s all battlefields and accomplices,
 The kid that kicked you down so,
 That you’d eat the dirt, 
Place your teeth in 
Leather pouches, 
And taste defeat for decades You’re pleasantly high on the 
 Smoke of your still-burning debt
 You’re a supermarket superhero
 You’re the queen of the Gasoline Dream It’s in the way that
 Your outline is
 Edged out
 By your insides, and the
 Arms of the chair have become 
Wings, that unfurl over
 Valleys and oceans, of headstones,
 And nursery wards Tinted windows promise nothing
 Regarding secrecy of soul
 What would your wisdom teach me
 About sentience?

You got her from the tailors All neatly wrapped in pink tissue Plenty of pretty dresses But he did not attend. The phone calls appeared promising In the beginning, even excited But then it was always six o'clock And inconvenient. Loving can't be part-time Need is a regularity Not a hundred pouches of food When you promised to be around. Bluebell smiles in the silver bracelet A trophy baby for a quiz night And you can't move on Because your lighter is broke. And you can't see in the dark Because your scared to death Because no one knows Bluebell wriggles her toes. Love Grandma ***

Bluebell
You, my old companion, I’ve junked three trucks and still I keep you. Buried five dogs. Raised three children who are now raising children. And still I wear you. You jingle when I walk. Nails clink in pouches. The drill in its holster slaps my leg. The hammer in its clip spanks my **** You bristle with screwdrivers, chisel, big fat pencil, needlenose plier. You call attention. Random kids who have never seen a tool belt before follow me around asking “What are you doing?” Then: “Can I help?” You smell like me (and I, like you). Leather, fourth decade. I’ve washed your pouches with saddle soap, sewn your seams with dental floss. Now the web of your belt is fraying, wrapped (silly, I know) with duct tape. Your pockets fill over time. Once in a while I remove every tool, every last ***** and nail. I hold you upside down and shake. Sawdust, a dead spider, little strippings of insulated wire will fall out. And once, my missing wedding ring. It had broken. I had taken it to a jeweler for repair, but when I got there I couldn’t find it. A year later, you coughed it up. When your webbing finally snaps, when you drop from my waist, maybe it’s you, old tool belt, I’ll take to the jeweler for remounting, for buff and polish. He’ll understand.

Ode to a Leather Tool Belt
Oldest thing I ever did see, Skin a mountain range of Crumpled/crinkled crepe paper Peaking in altitudinous pouches Under his eyes, dragging with Their weight dewlapp jowls Down to a waddling, Flabby neck, eyes camouflaged Under light, fuzzy swatches of cotton, Mouth slack and vacant, dribbling. Hobbling with a stoop, knees bowed, Back arched at an angle, a Tilted arrow. He tottered over to me, Inches, feet, miles, years too young, Smiled brightly to reveal an empty, Gummy mouth rimmed with Birthday cake, pallid arms Outstretched, head splotched with A thin, wispy cloud of hair, Half-full and forgotten baby’s bottle On the carpet behind him. How quickly they do grow.

**The fairest hair, peroxide blond beer shampoo feeding the roots primped and pinned with paperclips blown and set as candyfloss sticks. Hydro-pack cream erasing the pouches colourful lashes, stuck to the lids with copyright brows by electrolysis both almond eyes are now penciled in. Lines of life filled with putty trowelled in layers, foundations built delicate cheeks, powdered, pampered rouged and shaded, giving them youth. Clinical lips, Botox injected tattooed outlines guiding the brush the budding artist colours by numbers pouting, she paints in weatherproof gloss. Turtleneck sweater hiding the wrinkles genuine paste, drawing the eye both purl and knit-one inside the jumper pulled and snagged by glued on nails. High heel shoes, stretching the sinews of Lycra clad legs, holding them taut a girdle of whalebone hugging the figure gently molding, the form to behold. With grace we age throughout the years a time filled life, craves respect hairs of grey are marks of distinction an occasional blemish, a beauty spot. Tiny crow's feet, signs of good humour experience of life, lines proudly worn for with laughing eyes and glowing smile who need wear a plasticine face.** ...   ...   ...

... Makeover ...
A boy named Jake was so obsessed with finding a different reality where he was truly himself that he created it in his brain and entered it through a doorway while he slept. He knew he didn't need to knock but thought of it as polite. The door wasn't answered with an opening, rather an invite to open. So the boy opened. Inside he found himself in a desert. It was almost time for the sun to begin its setting. He realized that his hand was still on the door **** so he released and then shut the door. He turned back around. There was a small house a football fields length away. He could see a well just to the left and a stable holding no animals on the right. He began walking over. He was thirsty. And hungry. And full of questions. Arriving at the house he found water in the well. Cold, dusty water. Inside the house he found a pantry full of corn, bottled sunflower seeds, and a odd yellow grass wrapped in pouches. He ate sunflower seeds and walked outside. There he looked back to where the door is. Or was. At first he was alarmed but then liked the idea. He was stuck here. He was free. He slumped down against the house and began to doze off. His dreams were filled of memories of this desert. Of growing up in this house and occasionally visiting the town some miles away. This became his reality. He was himself. A man dressed in black approached. He pretended to sleep. The man came and went. There was no food left in the pantry although the yellow grass was still there. There was no water in the well. He waited for nothing for days. He slumped against the wall and fell asleep again. He awoke to find a new man approaching him, from the direction the other man had came. The direction of town. DOOR, his conscious screamed. He pushed it aside. The man came. He was on a quest for a tower. He was nice. Jake grew fond of him. The man said he would stay, only for a little while. He was pursuing the Man in Black. He was pursuing the Dark Tower. Jake knew the man would stay, however. And he was happy. He was himself.

an indigo soul
The blade runner, The blade told me to calm down, Stop seeing red. That moment lasted momentarily, The blade ran across me like an ice skate, On grooves already used before, Protruding into the skin and floor, Momentarily, As we see red. Then replaced by new cells, Or related like ice plains, Like a new day, Coincidentally. Scars remained and like my palms, Lifelines that tamed the desires To be, Famous, Or aim for the place where I won't wake up tomorrow. For the moment has passed And I'm shattered like glass with tiny pieces of blood drop pouches that decimate the surroundings as they fall to the floor, I'm sure; I never asked to be the blade runner.

Blade runner
The fuselage must gleam in a pink Pacific sunset at 29000 feet inside, I am brought puffed cellophane pouches of tamarind by attendant ladies and men and a sanitary case wraps my pillow. Bangkok’s taxis are driven by a man with bones for a neck on cracked roads that vanish into blind ways. Later a child – spying left – pulls me through a curtained door into an ante-room to sell me cling-wrapped copies of Japanese slasher movies. “Cheap!” Flies circle a mound of meat spiked to a vending cart -- “special for you.” A sea of mopeds rumble up the road and chase me between parked cars Tattered hunks of plastic bag blow past off the beach. At night gut rot infects the air, and I walk in brown puddled streets. The tar sky smothers above the neon and the barkers and the *** for $10.  This last part was in the guidebook. A woman sits, cloaked in a shawl, selling women’s apparel, all arranged on pale and chalky mannequins, angled at attention. They wear the rouge of the truth-telling jester. Their mouths are gaping, smiling, lurid, laughing, howling.  Eyes wide, piercing and empty, excited. They look like me. And I look away. The woman’s throat moves.  Or does she chuckle? “For you.”

*Mimesis:   the deliberate imitation of the behavior of one group of people by another as a factor in social change.* Somewhere, someone knows these  colors to be home. Not only the sandy complexion of the boots, but the laces slipping and sliding into loops and over soft tongues and slowly pulling, constricting, suffocating. Even its shape— the shallow curve of a man’s ankle, the slow descent to the tips of his toes— these are the sandy silhouettes and generous hills recalled from their youth. Someone, somewhere admires jagged peaks of pale crested mountains. The same jagged peaks they have seen rising and breaking in the wrinkles of loose fitting fatigues, and complimented by vests, spotted with the gentle green pastures once ruled by their jidd’s sheep. There are chains of mountains as wide as chests under Mandarin collars and just as full of pockets and pouches as military issued BDU’s— but this is cheap imitation. It is a failed mimesis.

I came from the same garden but I don’t fit your bouquet
My eyes have never had the opportunity to even glare at diamonds. I’ve never had the experience of tasting water from the cup of life. The shame of my current status, in a suburban purgatory; where all the houses look the same. And the town is slowly decaying. The radio, television and computer spew promises of golden treasures Dionysian parties. Lavish, mischievous endeavors. And never even taking a moment to mull over the choices. Bentleys soaring through the city nights. But it’s just in our prayers. A watch covered in rubies that won’t tell time, Because it doesn’t matter, Pricey top shelf alcohols, Exotic purebred animals, Paying no mind to the expense. I have no time to listen to your lustful desires. We may never be these magnificent stars above… For our blood isn’t lucky or holy. Yet we don’t crave extravagance. But desire that eluding excitement. Name me king! And kiss the ring! I’m just a fool. It’s all but a dream. We have unraveled the clandestine riddles. Rolling pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, On our way to the wishing well. And it’s effortless to distinguish between barren pockets and bursting pouches of dabloons and denarius’. No nuisance to us we’ve worked for what we have. The curse of greed, self-indulgence, Splurging on foolish fixations. Impaired, decked out Obliterating the palace. While keeping their noses in the airs they put on. Pumpkin carriages at midnight, Platinum plates for a marvelous feast. Airplanes, cruise ships. All we need are the keys. Ride on the horizon. We maybe become millionaires, take the money and run But we don’t need the luxury; We only yearn for the golden sun. I’m not an emperor, Nor a leader. Just a player in this life, They call a game.

that it is a journey Of 1000 miles //                                             She was sittin on the bed with the 200 lbs of Macrame string that we managed to buy At Fisherman's Wharf With the help of 5 complete strangers Who had showered us with the Life altering kindness You think really doesn't exist ( but it does ! ) // And she said DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME MAKE THE BELTS AND POUCHES ? I turned to my brain and told it to tell my mouth To say NO Firmly ( but nicely ) I turned to her and said SURE WHEN DO WE START ? // JESUS **** ! I started screaming ( silently ) at my brain YOU TRAITOR ! And you , MOUTH  ! You knew !  You knew !! •• She became ecstatic ! And said GREAT! WE' LL START WITH ME TEACHING YOU THE BASIC SQUARE KNOT ! // I started to give my brain it's obvious instruction BUT ! I blurted out WOW ! I ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE SAILOR'S KNOTS // I turned in a huff to these 2 fiends of brain and mouth And said ( silently ) ALWAYS ? YOU MADE ME SAY ALWAYS   !? A WEEK AGO WE HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF SAILOR 'S KNOTS !! /// Then the song Of JANIS JOPLIN came to me FREEDOM ' S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE ---- // and I now had nothin left My life was surrendered to hers ( due to the love and kindness of strangers ! ) •• But  ( you see ) There was a massive mistake in my calculations ( again ) You see SHE had ( unknownst to me with my selfish heart ) Made a similar commitment to me ! And / more and more /only asked me to do what I really wanted to do ( even to learn to do macrame ) What I was afraid to do without encouragement •• WE BECAME A       TEAM ! // We both had different social skills She was so unbelievably compassionate She was so able to break thru people's fears And enter into such trust inducing relationships It seemed like magic to me // I was really good at organizing things Setting plans Seeing the picture of the goals We needed to accomplish // In a certain sense We never talked -- A glance back and forth A subtle gesture //.

the first step is to know
that it is a journey Of 1000 miles //                                             She was sittin on the bed with the 200 lbs of Macrame string that we managed to buy At Fisherman's Wharf With the help of 5 complete strangers Who had showered us with the Life altering kindness You think really doesn't exist ( but it does ! ) // And she said DO YOU WANT TO HELP ME MAKE THE BELTS AND POUCHES ? I turned to my brain and told it to tell my mouth To say NO Firmly ( but nicely ) I turned to her and said SURE WHEN DO WE START ? // JESUS **** ! I started screaming ( silently ) at my brain YOU TRAITOR ! And you , MOUTH  ! You knew !  You knew !! •• She became ecstatic ! And said GREAT! WE' LL START WITH ME TEACHING YOU THE BASIC SQUARE KNOT ! // I started to give my brain it's obvious instruction BUT ! I blurted out WOW ! I ALWAYS WANTED TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE SAILOR'S KNOTS // I turned in a huff to these 2 fiends of brain and mouth And said ( silently ) ALWAYS ? YOU MADE ME SAY ALWAYS   !? A WEEK AGO WE HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF SAILOR 'S KNOTS !! /// Then the song Of JANIS JOPLIN came to me FREEDOM ' S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE ---- // and I now had nothin left My life was surrendered to hers ( due to the love and kindness of strangers ! ) •• But  ( you see ) There was a massive mistake in my calculations ( again ) You see SHE had ( unknownst to me with my selfish heart ) Made a similar commitment to me ! And / more and more /only asked me to do what I really wanted to do ( even to learn to do macrame ) What I was afraid to do without encouragement •• WE BECAME A       TEAM ! // We both had different social skills She was so unbelievably compassionate She was so able to break thru people's fears And enter into such trust inducing relationships It seemed like magic to me // I was really good at organizing things Setting plans Seeing the picture of the goals We needed to accomplish // In a certain sense We never talked -- A glance back and forth A subtle gesture //.

Don’t let the medium dry Moisten This Creation                                    by ANY MEANS necessary It’s vulnerable For This Creation to become pedestal WE MUST : feed it off of a capillary bag mist it under a dense healthy breath lead it to suckle an engorged breast For IF WE DO NOT we risk it becoming husk ; good only for digs and dust shops. For This Creation, WE MUST queue with our blood tapped and ready our breeding fluids our various flows carefully labelled and in sterile pouches our donor cards filled out steady for sacrifice Keep This Creation wet and it shall be a beacon a call to awareness a beckon of craft for us all and not some common art-hole In time THE CREATION SHALL SERVE US

The Beckon (Arts’ Monster)
walking the concrete pave i started to feel a bulging softness in my liver, just the sheer balloonness of it, not attached to any bone, it was too much for me, i had to walk into the greenbelt darkness to feel the soft pouches of earth beneath the feet and banish all livery sentiments of the silken doughy thought, and in there i said: with the abolishment of asylums psychiatry has become evermore bothersome, imagine if the churches were closed and priests freely roamed, not since henry the eight such travesty, with it, psycho-synthesis and very little psychoanalysis: because who the hell would diagnose a child of two with some symptoms accumulative as a.d.h.d.? where's the: climb a tree break a leg then tango on with crutches?

the future of it all
I wish I could be a book I could send myself to you in envelops and postcards over a laconic lifetime rungs of ladder climbed waded through like the push of legs in the water, over sand chewing on the words you sent. We, are a family now, some privileged in the boundaries of grandiloquent bags and pouches, some forgotten in the drawers before relocations, versions of a person’s state of mind over time, we make history books capturing people in the making of an indistinct next moment sometimes we carry our own praises outsourced by the wits of our writers like love they did find not in the other but their own selves, blind still. Does your reader pause too? basks in the glory of an empty wall staring at nothing in particular? I wish we had will and means to write ourselves on ourselves so that we could reach other and do that. Instead like our creators, we are dilapidated ruins of yellow bodies, left to live and die on dirt and air once they are gone, aren’t you scared of death? Seeking Reply Letter A

A Letter From A Letter To Another
Sequence of words and repetetion, made of beautiful lines and concentration, deep thinking makes the sentence to flight, all is called along and named as rhyme, in it there are pouches of errors, makes the expression of fellings that matters, modified meaning of writing, belongs to a thing, sharp and blunt teasing collection of experiance, it does not have any limitation or resistance, it is a flow of small nick in mind, passionate feel it winds, every time ****** spelling it consists, anyone can write a rhyme if he break the walls of cyst

defining rhyme & poetry
The preacher lifts his old hand, “This is where we are meant to be!” and, The geese croon overhead as the day turns around, “Here in the country! A mighty place to be for men so small!” said he, The preacher, or the carney, the very angry canary, “Here is where the wind blows and whistles across the fields, Making waves and currents that show early eidolons in the rye, And here is where the willow trees make curtains For mid-afternoon ********** with a sultry sweat on the brow!” The preacher clenches his pink fist, “Here is where holy work is done, And God is surely watching! Here is where the lilacs create a musk that staggers, And leaves the devil in bewilderment! The son of God is in your boot, He is in the locked gun cabinet, Which you threw away the key!” A woman drops to her knees, And I ask why, in which she replies, “Of course! Of course! I love him! I hate myself!” Ay, slow and easy, Her lips took the scenic route. God! The ugly and plain, With pouches and paunches, **** a dime a dozen, Come here to settle in the humid heat, Of a thousand fields spread eagle across, The American hot bed. Yes’a, I thinks, The boonies, Is where I should be, When God comes around. The preacher points his fat finger, “Leave the city for the gluttons! Leave it for the sinners! Leave it for the lazy! Leave it for the intellects of bygones, And aggravated souls who are not just, Content with what God has given us! Leave it for the hounds! We have only to hear, The gospel of sweet nature like honey dew, Or golden sopping molasses!” The sun came in through the stained windows, Shooting colors across the pale flat faces, Of the god-fearing townspeople.
