"premenstrual" poems
Sweaty face bright purple and greasy
I used to hide my body between the pages
But he told me to not read any more
Itchy head heated enough to make tea
My eyes are now how the trees say my name
My eyes are now the leeches I put in empty tampons
Sweaty neck I only want some traces of lips
Sweaty palms I only want some other fingers
Sweaty thighs I only want to walk well
************ sad wrapped in plastic
Cranky child trapped in old wrinkling skin
It may well be irrational excuses
Womb nervous and not worthy
Cerebral excuses, hormonal excuses
Highly sensitive person excuses
Delayed maturity excuses
Premenstrual syndrome excuses
Premature menopause excuses
Abusive motherhood at 5
Traumatic childhood at 18
What happens in between stays in between

Why do men sit sulking alone?
Is it worse than Premenstrual Syndrome?
Is PFS far worse for men?
Indeed, by PFS, what is meant?
Why, it's Post Football Syndrome!
Don't say it's only a game, Oh no!
Round here, it's total blasphemy,
Or, let's say, utter heresy!
SSHHH...let's tiptoe away,
Dodging his tantrums today,
How does PFS affect you?
Find something else to do,
Preferably in another room,
Why do men sit sulking alone?
Easy, they have Post Football Syndrome...
SSSHHHHH......!!!!!

Sertraline (Zoloft) is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Why do I feel more empty
when I am full of pills?

i write poetry
from the collective,
that resides within my mind
they gather often,
at the water cooler
or for coffee, tea
and a bit of a natter..
all my idio's and syncranicities
my ego,
and my shy shuffling humble-bumbler
the flambouyant quirke,
the little girl memories
all get the memo and out they come.
earth mother, surfer chick,
daughter of despair,
moderator, instigator,
wanna-be litigator
acerberic premenstrual ditzbitch,
all represented there.
so in the end,
what you get to see;
are the minutes from the meetings,
or the gossip from the gatherings
the intimate murmurings...
from the musings.
of the legion, that ...
collectively
call themsevles
me.

'DON'T GRAB MY APPLE DUMPLINGS
OR MY SWEET CHERRY TWIST.
YOU'RE A LEWD, CRUDE DESPICABLE DUDE
AND A FAT MISOGYNIST.'
"HEY, I'M A BIG STAR AND CAVIAR
WITH MELONS ARE DELICIOUS.
IF GIRLS WON'T TRY MY PUMPKIN PIE
THEY'RE LESBIAN AND MALICIOUS."
'YOU'VE GOT A NASTY HABIT
AND IT MUST BE OVERCOME.
THAT'S MY LUNCH BOX DON'T YOU GRAB IT!'
SAID THE DONNA TO THE DON.
"YES, I'M A BIG STAR AND I'VE COME FAR
YOUR RAMBUTAN LOOKS DELICIOUS.
IF YOU WON'T TRY MY PECAN PIE
YOU'RE PREMENSTRUAL AND CAPRICIOUS."
'FORBIDDEN FRUIT'S RESTRICTED
SO EXERCISE RESTRAINT,
OR I'LL GRAB YOUR WALNUT CLUSTERS HARD
AND YOU'LL TURN BLUE AND FAINT.'
(If you're a bit slow then see below
and follow this helpful strategy.
Simply substitute any mention of fruit
with words from 'Reproductive Anatomy').

When I’m not tapped into a music stream.
I like quiet
no - let’s be exact,
I like silence
ear plugs in - deafening quiet
or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound
That’s relatively new technology
My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things
gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes
like the patterns sound forms in sand.
But if you’re going to scramble my mind
your going to have to wait in line behind
bland 21-year-old issues like:
sleep deprivation
hormonal fluctuations
romantic fog
case study competitions
business model design games (REALGAME)
deductive logic puzzles
irritability and mood swings
mental bandwidth anxiety
cognitive confusion
information overload
assignment stress
premenstrual syndrome
compulsive coping mechanisms
career anxiety
****** frustration
multitasking shifts (schedule)
canon events (existential dilemmas)
culture shock (new environment)
feeling “scrambled”
family pressures
So, yeah. let’s fn Jettison headphone worries - MOM - shall we??!

The permit
admit nothing
tell no one.
when in Bodrum.
I decant in Alicante
she
pours me a drink
think that I'm safe now
how wrong can I be
admit one for
free.
If being premenstrual
oops I mean
primordial
makes me ordinary
so be it
I'm down with it.
