"reasonably" poems
Went to my magwinya lady today, she's contained at the canteens on north campus, As she rose up her left eye was bluish ****** grey, A lump in my throat formed not as big as the one on her face, my eyes secreted their salty solution, my mind quickly processed confusion, "M-m-m-m-may i-i-i p-p-lease have five magwinyas" She smirked at my muttered utterance as she began to fill the thin transparent plastic with the oily flour-filled ***** I reluctantly asked "What happened to your eye?" She responded in Xhosa reasonably assuming my common cocoa coating meant our tongues matched until I told her otherwise. Eventually she simply said, "Fight". I said, "you got in to a fight?" She said "Mmm". I went over to my banana lady and said the magwinya lady has a black eye and she casually claimed, "Her boyfriend beat her yesterday." Confirming what my teary eyes and lumpy throat knew to be true when I saw my sweet magwinya lady with a swollen eye ****** grey and blue. Frustrated at the nothing I could do. Powerlessly pirched on a brown bench as the black sparrows chirped pleading for a piece of my last magwinya, Should I tell her to escape? Is that even my place? How many black eyes are blotched on this bruised land i, a fearful foreigner, trace? I'll bury my brain in my book, somewhat cowardly crook, I'll see what i saw but take no second look, like a camel's head in the sand, I'll timidly tell myself these things are just too hard to understand.

black eyes & silent sighs
I'd rather drown a hundred times than let my heart go free Because I can't hear your horrid voice at the bottom of the sea And you've ruined every chance of love So I pulled when I was supposed to shove You don't know how it feels to love so blindly All trust enveloped into another soul Only to have them crush your hopes and dreams with one fatal blow   Breaking down, slowly I decay with the rest A dusty box of your old shirts I could barely bring myself to collect But I'm the one crying myself dry I'm the one fighting to keep myself alive I didn't sleep, I couldn't eat, Not a single soul could help me. I can't trust others I barely trust myself So at the end of the day It's me, myself, and nobody else.

Reasonably Broken
Glazed eyes Tired sighs Lost interest Leave the room Question that guy smells like **** you high? No officer with a sigh Detained and searched Reasonably Booked and Printed All I was doing was eating popcorn and playing videogames

"Lovely" The word slips between my lips As a sigh. The day is hot, The water cool. We are young And reasonably beautiful; Something, which no one can take away From us, except for time.

One last time, I hold your hand, Knowing that tomorrow will never come, I've given all a man can reasonably give, But you are lost into another time and place. There were the days when we did laugh as one, When everything seemed so fresh and new, When I could feel you breathe the life into me, And I was proud to tell the others you were mine. But sometimes others darkened swift our lives, Told lies and led deceptive forces to destroy, Then after all was left were memories no longer real, And someone cried and carried such an empty  heart. When I awoke and no longer felt  your body warm, Or, smelled the sweetness that is all but only you, My world spinned manic out of cosmic control, With tears that fell like others a million times before. So, one last time, please let me hold your hand, And say the words that meant so much to me, To gaze upon your face and altered countenance so, While you walk swiftly unto another we both know.

One Last Time, I Hold Your Hand
The bar behind the theatre was nearly empty apart from a couple of gay boys. Well, it was a gay bar, so no ******* surprise there. I glanced at the fat one and decided, 'No thank you very much,' as I have noticed fat people often smell unpleasantly, maybe it's the sweat trapped between their ********** that does it. But the other one was very cute and I decided I would have him. In those days, it was regarded as 'de rigeur' to buy a lad a lager and lime before dragging him home with you for some nookie, so I coughed up for a half pint with charm and grace. Sadly, he was no great shakes in the conversational stakes, but was I after intellectual stimulation? No, I ******* wasn't. Anyway, once I'd checked his passport to ensure he was over-age (no one wants any ******* trouble from the bigoted morality squad) I dragged him back to my elegant bachelor orgy-pad and stripped him off to investigate his lithe little body; a nice smooth little **** and a reasonably clean **** What more can you want from a one night stand? After a bit of a damp snog and a good old ***** I lubed him up and gave his *** a right good poking. He moaned a bit, but then who wouldn't moan, with seven and a half inches of thick gristle shoved all the way up their sphincter? I know I would. After I had filled his rear end with love juice a couple of times, I felt that kicking out was the name of the game. Generously, I gave him a half-crown for his bus fare as he said he was a bit short of cash, being unemployed. It was the least I could do, as he had three miles to go home, and it was raining cats and ******* dogs outside. After he'd left, I checked out the bed sheets (as you would) and was irritated to find a few skidmarks there, or they may have been where I wiped my fingers after having eaten a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk. A quick sniff confirmed my worst suspicions though. 'Ah well, true love always comes at a price', I reflected, as I scraped the worst bits off with a nail file.

Perfect Imperfection
"In a mad world, only the mad are sane" Clearly stated by K. Akira. Scary! What is freedom? How close is it to insanity? Scary! Is that a freedom when one has to lose peace of mind? Is that a freedom where finally one has to ask ownself, who am I? And may regret what I have become. Is that a freedom where you search for the thousand Suns when you know one is enough? Is that a freedom where you have to sell the soul to exist a new time? Freedom is questionable. Never ask that freedom when you are not ready for. Never ask that freedom where you don't belong. Never ask that freedom where finally one has to shed tears. Never ask that freedom where foundation of life ends. Isn't it insanity, freedom beyond control? And you may have observed where weeds florish, lotus thrives. Balanced freedom is conscious state of being where no outer stimuli distracts, and one could flourish. Freedom in any form is always neutal, but the person who execute it, could be wrong. And forgive me if it is illogical, Earth revolving around it's axis is universal example of how much freedom one needs. What is freedom? How close is it to insanity? As the saying goes, your freedom to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins. Yes, should I repeat that? Reasonably never ask the insane, what freedom is. At that instant they will justify everything, where they are always right. It will be scarier that time. Thus freedom itself is never the issue, for what cause it is exercised, is. Nothing more.

I cannot fully explain to you How perplexing it is To be a 22 year old adult But to still have the fear Usually reserved for a young child The fear of the dark And not in a way that one is afraid of death Or lions or tigers or bears Oh my, my fear is much more irrational You see I find I have bravery in real things I’ve rock climbed mountains Ridden roller coaters Held a poisonous snake by the tale You get why that’s braver right? But what makes the hair on the back of my neck stand What makes my skin pucker into tiny little bumps Are monsters born of my own imagination You see my imagination is wicked And I use that word both ways In the slang sense that it is awesome and powerful And in the literal sense that is it evil That when I imagine a monster I give it ten hands with 20 fingers each ending with teeth And eyes so black they sink into the monsters head Making them look like empty sockets So deep, they touch his brain I am forever afraid I’ll be honest with you I sleep with all the lights on And my closet doors wide open So I could see exactly what is going on in there I years ago threw out my bed skirt Convinced they cloaked crooked Teeth crawling critters capable of decapitation And were all considerable stronger than myself As you can imagine I have a lot of nightlights Mobile ones I use to walk to the bathroom with in the middle of the night I have to buy so many batteries The clerk at Walmart can only reasonably assume I have deviant private life Because grown *** adults shouldn’t be that scared of the dark Because at some point during or after childhood I won’t assume it happens at the same time for everybody Your imagination takes a backseat to logic And you understand that monsters aren’t real But death is and maybe that’s a better fear to have That didn’t happen with me though and I think most artists If they were to be completely honest with you would tell you It didn’t happen to them either they missed a step In the development milestone department Though I think they would tell you too like I’m about to tell you now The fear is worth it there hasn’t been a single monster I’ve imagined that hasn’t had an equal Beautiful thought and I can see them better with all the lights on.

Difficult to say it is a crisis of faith Deadlock stubbornly cracked Divide intensified with fact so backed ****** is truth, lost memory's wraith "Who's to blame?" as so often "they" saith Forget this daft idyllic hope, loyalty To nothing has my life compared And as most humans, no heartache spared No limits to its reverence and constancy As God shapeshifted, any form but royalty Kings of Kings, my Makers, Lords on High Omnipotent theories to query Over verses I've traveled, all but Kashmiri Reasonably these to view before bye-bye Off I am to Pir Panjal, where I shall quake and die

Crossroads To Himalayas
No one born too far from Niedersachsen, said Oma, ever quite captures their sing-song intonation. Characterized by subtleties, like an umlauted vowel, all non-native imitations sound inevitably as ****** as would a cry of “ello, guv’nah!” in a London coffee shop. Her Plattdeutsch instincts neutered by decades abroad, married to a son of Milwaukee, her permanent, dormant longing for Salzgitter awakes only to trigger hunger pangs of irreconcilable nostalgia at the passing whiff of a Germantown bakery. She taught me the word “sehnsucht” over lukewarm coffee and a pause in our conversation: a compound word that no well-intentioned English translation could render faithfully. It isn’t the same as just longing, she sighed— longing is curable. Sehnsucht holds the fragments of an imperfect world and laments that they are patternless. How the soul yearns vaguely for a home remembered only in the residual ache of incomplete childhood fancies; futile as the ruins of an ancient, annihilated people. How life’s staccato joys soothe a heart sore from the world, yet the existential hunger, gnawing from the malnourished stomach of the bruised human psyche, remains— insatiable, eternal. Long enough ago, a reasonably-priced bus ride away from the red-roofed apartment in which she babbled her first words, a kindly old man in a pharmacy asked her about her peculiar, exotic accent. Once inevitably prompted with the question of where she was from, she responded only that she was a tourist off the beaten track. And when I pointed out, to my immediate regret, that she gets the same question back here in Ohio, I realized then that, not once, has she ever referred to the way the people of her pined-for hometown spoke as though she had ever belonged to it.

They say we’re crazy Chasing stupid millennial dreams Too far fetched they seem and sometimes we agree But secretly we hope and pray they become reality Excuse the interruption but does this sound familiar for anybody else? “Big house on its second mortgage, and a camper for when we feel like downsizing prison. Cars each on a different loan, manicured lawn because we must show status in everything we own. Monday, he cheated with the bottle and she cheated in her heart Tuesday, sister came home late, crying her eyes out because the arms of her last lover were just like her fathers. Wednesday was surprisingly peaceful, but unnerving, as sunny days were far and few between and I was thinking this was just the calm before the storm. Thursday I saw father sitting on the floor his last straw a piece of paper "final notice" printed in red Friday mother sat in the car for an extra twenty minutes starring blankly at the door contemplating her life Saturday was fight night Sunday we went to church and pretended it was all alright” I’m sorry if my pursuit in life is simply this: Happiness. If it looks like a retrofitted van and I live like a *** because I never want to fight about little green men Or, if it was a tiny home that her and I could reasonably afford on land far away from the city lights and temptations that come at night You could say It’s something about the fights we could hear through thick walls that drove us mad inside And now we chase peace and calm, love and happiness, through any means Because that’s something that cannot be bought despite our parents thoughts.

I feel so many feelings all the time. I am a feeling being. I need to feel to understand the meaning of my experiences in comparison to my needs and aspirations. But my feelings happen intuitively and prior to careful evidence-based reasoning and so my feelings are not philosophically reasonable and so my feelings are dangerous if I use my feelings to define what reality is. I protect myself from unphilosophical unreasonable feelings by never enacting my feelings, by never reacting motivated by feelings; rather I use my feelings only as information that I am having feelings and so my needs and aspirations may be affected in some way by my experiences which led to my feelings; then I reflect on my experiences to philosophically reasonably discover how it is most useful for me to feel to achieve my optimal joy an happiness.

This valley wood is pledged To the set shape of things, And reasonably hedged: Here are no harpies fledged, No rocs may clap their wings, Nor gryphons wave their stings. Here, poised in quietude, Calm elementals brood On the set shape of things: They fend away alarms From this green wood. Here nothing is that harms - No bulls with lungs of brass, No toothed or spiny grass, No tree whose clutching arms Drink blood when travellers pass, No mount of glass; No bardic tongues unfold Satires or charms. Only, the lawns are soft, The tree-stems, grave and old; Slow branches sway aloft, The evening air comes cold, The sunset scatters gold. Small grasses toss and bend, Small pathways idly tend Towards no fearful end.

"No. No you absolutely can not go to the store to buy some beer you! you are too young just stay inside and watch some TV beer is for losers no go and make your dad another G&T; during the commercial break" Feeling thirsty?

I am different And have always been Right from the age of four Whether it be my fascination for trains And cement mixers, for some reason Or my peculiar fear of water Or my obsession with the number of pages in a newspaper And last but not the least Playing cricket with myself I am different And have always been I can't make small talk to save my life Social cues are like Greek and Latin to me I understand sarcasm As much as Voldemort understands love I keep fiddling with my things Pens, papers, clothes, hair etc. My room is as organised As a typical bachelor's den is And the list goes on and on I am different And have always been Earlier, this always used to bother me And make me feel inferior Especially when people advised me To improve my verbal communication skills And body language However, I have realised now That they could not have been more wrong Because I am autistic And autism is not something that can be cured Rather, it has to be managed And thanks to therapy I have been managing reasonably well For the last five years or so Let me repeat I am different And have always been If you have a problem with that You are welcome to leave

I Am Different
he named me after him, his best ditty ever, my inheritance, a laughing brook of guppy royalties, that keep our Labrador reasonably well fed poetically and of course his name his name, which was not so much inherited, as deposited, X-mark-the-son they ask, no, they declarative announce as fact, answered even as asking, tho their voices rising in a pretend-questioning format, are you as good as he was? Oh no, of course not, I'm merely the son, He was the father, between us, the Holy Ghost of Rhyme

he named me after him
There is, one supposes, a certain nobility In simply carrying on with the whole **** thing, Though that assumes some epiphany, Some clawing toward grace, or at least common decency. He had, in some once upon a time, Cast his lot with a better class of people, so to speak; It had not ended well, though, In line with how such things are resolved, His fall not a spectacular, tempestuous thing, But a gradual, veiled affair, not a fiery spectacle With metaphorical medals cut away, epaulets stripped, But a shaded silence, a shrouded yet palpable shunning. And so he is here, in this fading little city Perched forlornly on the banks of a nondescript little river, Having taken an apartment above a pair of offices (One occupied by a seemingly ancient and disinterested lawyer, The other by an ostensible private investigator) Which is sufficiently large and reasonably warm Come the seemingly perpetual winter. He lives, if not in such a manner As he was once accustomed to, comfortably enough: He has his practice, and an adjunct position At the little cow college down the road in Alfred, And there are the occasional women, Sad divorcees marooned in this hill country, Dewy-eyed undergraduates unable to discern Suit coats that are a bit shabby and somewhat passe (There is a haberdasher in Buffalo whose garments Are in the neighborhood of up-to-snuff, And he could certainly manage a trip Down to New York for better tailoring, Though he would be traveling in places and circles Where he is not remembered fondly.) Stepping outside, he encounter snowflakes, Light and unprepossessing, But he studies the sky anxiously, apprehensively (One learns that he must pay Nature its due fealty in these climes, And give into the primal, the instinctual) For he knows what can transpire When the wind blows off the big lake out west just so, Turning innocuous flurries into a malevolent blankness, Making the landscape inscrutable, alien, utterly terrifying.

Sweet Thoughts
Eli tossed the ****** novel aside; a radical tale of painters in the far future when paint itself would be illegal; arms dealers, drug traffickers, *** workers gathering in dark interstellar holes bored into passing comets & orbiting meteors docking illegally at satellite ports & unloading chemicals frozen into place by the artists who can never let their identities be known; all colors on earth are registered & trade marked by the Beast's Corporation & so Space Art is highly sought & lucrative but lethal as it can made to explode w/ enough energy & radiation to leave a small planet barren for millions of years; the Beast is reasonably worried as Space Art, or Action Painting [after the ancient school] is wildly popular & traded openly for billions of dollars; the Beast may be able to keep everyone stupid & greedy but Art liberates them into heights of ecstasy & kindled wisdom; freedom of thought the last frontier no one suspected & so abrogated their intelligence & imagination to fembots      who pump their heads full of colorful action sequences; the illegal paintings too stiff,   just stand or lean & look back                       at one w/out blinking & the female-computer-network unable to bear the silence, initiates automatic shut-down of itself;   femportals      abandoned on stations where the painted images    projected on microcells to the clandestine buyers,                  spread as an unseen mist through the various                                              artificial environments;                   the distant star                     paint miners                   smoking up a storm & using steam-powered                                                                fembots                                       to mine for their oil & charcoal;                                        Eli putting on the kettle for tea, thinks about the fembots in the novel & calling a ********** demands she not speak; the girl arriving naked in stockings

I've never read The Torah, but I'm reasonably sure it is a travel guide for a desert getaway. I've never dreamed of red headed priestesses who can move their hips like cement mixers. They probably have sharp teeth and slender fingers. I always thought that the cosmos would bend down to give me a dap. It still may. I'm full of dark and weird judgement. All for you. Sometimes the darkness wanes while the weirdness lingers.

Prologue To An Epitaph
Arguably benign Collecting dust, eventually Forgetting... Graciously heroic Intrepid justification, knowing Legalese... Mistakenly nerdy Or perhaps quite Reasonably serendipitous... Triumphantly understood Validating wisdom Xenial... Yellow zealot
