step one: find someone with the correct qualifications. make sure he has taken the correct courses and has credentials. step two: if your lawyer has a double major in medicine, run away. step three: he is a person, not a house. do not treat him as such. don’t begin to use his bones as beams and his heart as a generator. step four: you are a person, and just because you have legal issues doesn’t take away from that statement. you are a person, not a project. make sure your lawyer realizes this too. step five: if he tries to fix you, run away. go back to step one and pay extra attention to step two. step six: doctors are bad news. stay away from them at all costs, even if they are a good lawyer too. step seven: don’t try to fix him either, even if he needs the help. he needs the help, but he’ll never actually accept it. step eight: he’s just a boy. not an angel, not a superhero, not a saviour, not a lawyer, not a doctor, not a repairman. step nine: he is not a song. don’t make him a song. he is not a song. don’t compare him to “broken crown” by mumford and sons or “ice” by lights. step ten: if you need legal advice, a professional works but ultimately a convicted girl is the best advice. step eleven: whatever you do, don’t hurt him because you’re afraid of being hurt. step twelve: don’t give him your sharps. save yourself. you don’t need him. step thirteen: don’t **** yourself because he doesn’t care. step fourteen: he cares.

My dad lost his arm to cancer. He was 61 years old, did he let that get him down? Heck NO... The day he came home from the hospital minus one shoulder and arm, he jumped on his bike and rode it down to our house, which was a long block away. balance, how did he do it? Dad was always included in all our neighborhood parties. if he was sitting in my backyard, he would be drinking a cup of coffee with Jim, my husband. If he was sitting in my neighbor Dennys backyard he would be drinking a beer with Denny. Dad worked as a machine repairman with out his arm for two more years. Because he was good. Dad bowled two times a week with one arm, and he walked out at the Park the days he didn't bowl. My amazing dad, with one arm and no shoulder, built my kitchen cupboards, put up a ceiling in the basement, build doll houses for my daughter and the neighbor girl, and also one for a church raffle. My dad went to church every Sunday, and when he was so ill, the nun would visit dad and mom, mom would play the ***** beer barrel polka, while the nun and my dad danced. He was known by many, taught kids how to bowl, including my son. AND HE IS MISSED BY ALL.... This is a tribute to my daddy named Fritz.... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY... by ~ judy

MY DAD, AN UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER...
To whom it may concern; As I watch you from afar, It seems your mental living conditions have become poor. While the paint on your house seems new, the garden, gently cared for and your front porch, freshly swept all of the rooms in your house are a mess. The foyer, which once invited large storms of crowds and your master suite; the most lavish room in the entire house are covered in trash, half-empty bottles, and what i can only surmise as a deep depression in the walls and floor But your attic, whereby you store your most valuable treasures thought, wisdom beauty appears to have grown dark and now neither dark basement nor top floor can be told apart so dear, i write you this, to speak of my qualifications my abilities, as a household repairman though i may not hold any formal degree, please, see my references, as quite soon, i would love to get to work and teach you to rebuild your home

I've been listening to static for years. Watching the black-and-white zigzags Crumple across my screen Defeated, without knowing the enemy. Overwhelmed, without taking perspective. Suddenly pictures are coming through Sounds that don't just seem to be dying aluminum. Laughs smiles conversations Touches... Gasps. Heartbeats. Those black and white zigzags are fading Blurring out until you see the picture They've been trying to form for too long. And behold, the picture is clear. Maybe the repairman upgraded me to hi-def. But that repairman sure is sneaky. Apparently the channel is now set on Cinemax And I have no idea where my remote is.

tune your rabbit ears
I was real quiet when I closed               that door. You smile like bro-ken glass and walk like the newspapers left on subway benches- we've watched them        float like dandelion seeds while the train brought in its catch of businessmen. Do you remember? I was real quiet, understand, when I wept and you were sleeping there beside me. Do you know you talk in your sleep? It's wonderful and terrifying- you are screaming and crying and reaching like a newborn, and I want to save you. I want to lift you up and out with my kisses and my arms. But I touch, and you're wide awake. You stare, and I stare, and I want to tell you I love you, and that I'll kiss you up and out, but you've already closed                                              that door.

4am (Repairman)
If you leave, I won't look at the world the same. My windows to the outdoors may be wide open now, but the moment you take a final step out the door, my windows will come violently crashing down, shattering glass upon itself. I'll view everything as if it is broken and even though I'll try to repair it, the shards will remain pieces of a past life that you'll leave me forever trying to fix. Pity my ruins and call a repairman yourself, but even Home Depot won't have the tools to fix the girl with broken windows. -mp

If You Leave
I hate and love this place. I hate the long line of people I have to serve, filled with naggy mothers, bleached, fried hair, silicone bodies the color of bacon. I hate the heavy ache in my feet, sign of a long shift, having to serve food to thankless patrons. I hate how the juicy, salty burgers taste so good, adding unwanted lumps and bumps. Grease sizzling, popping in the air, Sticking to your skin, permeating your hair. And yet, I love the sound of Denis's voice breaking through the blanket of shrieks, telling me hello in his clipped English. I love the sizzling of traitorous patties on the grill, looking for love in someone's stomach. I love the constant banter between Thomas and me. I always let him win. I love seeing the cute, scruffy arcade repairman as he comes to my register waiting for me to offer a free icee. He always pays for it anyway. This place annoys me all the time, the screams of children, the lack of tips, the way my skin peels off from my fingers, an ugly result of having to wash my hands every 5 minutes. And yet, I love it. Every inch, the good and the bad. All of it.

My Job
All is gone I can only see darkness And my mind's projection of the silouettes of my hands The grandfather clock is broken No repairman came knocking on my door Nor did my house tell me it needed fixing Soon the dust gathered on the golden bells And the mahogany fell silent The silver cogs were equally as inaudiable The glowing numbers didn't shine anymore Man, the only creature plagued by time So accustomed to our sickness I can still hear, in the back of my mind, "Tik tok... Tik tok... - - -."

Time Subtly counting the seconds Hopelessly loosing oneself In utter endless distractions Only to realize The count was lost And the time has passed Left breathless Again one begins Subtly counting the seconds Focused on the task at hand To only become lost again And realize The moment has passed And it is time To call the watch repairman

Tick-Tock
I miss your arms on my sides, And you biting my lips at night. Remember that day on the beach? We didn't see a ray of sun in that tent. Your hair always smelt like oranges And you tasted like peppermint. I would always play with your ears While you toyed with my fingers. You had this funny way of getting me To open up for you, my heart, my legs. When I inflicted damage onto us, You were the patient repairman; I was the pain for your scream, And you were the sorrow for my tears. Somehow we made sense... Until the day dream ended.

"Oh Darling, Who Will Whistle While The Other Whimpers?"
This is a story of man who defied all odds, and his name was Henry Fredrick. Henry rides the train every morning on his daily commute to the city, which is where he works. He is a repairman for Azrael Medical Center, a local hospital. Henry is a single man who lives alone and does not like to keep company very often. As said before, he takes the train from his residence located in the outskirts of the town. He seldom makes friends, but the friends he does have keep in good rapport with him. T’was the first week of April in the year 1987, that he departed like any other day when suddenly the train derailed. He was tossed about from roof to floor, and this vicious cycle continued until he was left lying on top of someone else’s luggage. Henry laid there for quite some time fearing no one would know where to look, and he began to think what he could have done better in his life. The only thought he had was of his death. Trying to rid himself of this misery he began to ask why he did not simply buy a car and take that to work instead of the train. The train was so close and inviting to Henry because he could spend time alone to think before having to deal with the occupational world. A few hours were spent and he finally attempted to move his carcass so that he could perhaps be found. He struggled to crawl up to the door, the only escape route. That’s when the feeling hit him, like someone was watching him or planning his demise. Henry frantically looked around but saw no one. He began to yell for help when someone or something showed up. The two of their eyes met and instantaneously the two of them became preoccupied with the other. As Henry began to widen his gaze from those engulfing red eyes, he notices that indeed that thing that was watching him was a dog. The dog grabbed onto Henry’s shirt puling him from the wreckage. The dog seemed to have supernatural strength and Henry felt as if he was floating on air being carried on the shoulders of some strange beast, but was most likely due to the fact that he lost basically all of his blood. The dog dragged Henry’s broken body to the street, and that is where Henry blacked out.

How She Loved Me After she broke her neck, the diagnosis advised her to avoid all moving when she could. Once she agreed, three vertebrae were fused together, and a cushion braced her instead of us. We were not allowed. Days passed. Weeks passed. Maybe three. She sat in her chair and rocked and rocked and rocked – until the hinges snapped, too. The repairman repeated those two words: Don’t. Move. I avoided her after that – ran right past her when I could – let my legs leap and fly and bend and breathe. But even my knees knew how she watched, how she waited for me to look. I only did once. On the day the sky became a lake, she walked onto the deck like a dock, threaded the wind with her fingers, rose her chest when she breathed, and bounced onto the trampoline. She stretched and sprung and skipped into a flip only stopping to giggle about her favorite rollercoasters. And I stood still to listen. I stood still and watched.

How She Loved Me
There’s a strange satisfaction in the tranquil pounding of feet on pavement against the quiet whispers of the sunrise over a morning’s dreary eyes, when the world is about to rise, and your unaccompanied flesh is its alarm, like the soft ripple of a rock skipping against the water. I came here to stop feeling, but instead I feel everything. The hum of the wind beneath my eardrum is a lullaby for my loneliness, and the cotton candy sky is begging for my mercy. A few months ago, this was the key to my fulfillment, but somewhere along the way, you went and changed the lock. I tried to call a repairman, but my throat froze and my chest burst the moment he stopped by. I’m not sure what brought me here or why, but eventually I’ll breathe again. For today I’ll simply close my eyes and pray that the light that floods my corneas when my lashes meet lid brings brightness to this twilight mood, and someday the repairman will allow me to lift this weight from my chest.

My key doesn't fit.
You pick me up in your car I'm already waiting outside Shopping and lunch, you suggest I think it's the perfect plan. As you drive, we catch up (I hate that we've been apart) You tell me stories About people I don't know Jokes I don't understand But try to laugh at All the same. Somewhere, on the way Your car splutters And fails to start on the hill You're annoyed, say we'll be stuck here I am secretly thrilled But then worry That you don't want to be with me For that long. It clearly shows on my face As you reassure me Put your hand on my leg (I wish you would keep it there) And tell me help is on its way. Your Mum arrives As you're calling a repairman She calls me your girlfriend I don't correct her And stand close to you When your phone call ends. I try not to read into it When you don't move away (After all, we're used to being close) But still savour the warm smile Your Mum gives me Before she drives away. We window shop for hours Slip back into our old rhythm I reach for your hand Instinctively But you move yours away Before mine has reached it And I'm left grabbing At the air Trailing behind you. We try on stupid hats And laugh and laugh (Is it weird that we're friends now?) You're in a great mood And I'm proud to be with you As you put on a show That passers by Stop and smile at. (It's awful being just your friend now) We have lunch at a bistro Our table is small and intimate And our knees touch Under the table It makes me blush but I love it. You say you have something You want to tell me My heart leaps And flutters. I take a sip of milkshake To avoid saying something Stupid. You look me in the eye And tell me That you've met someone And she's perfect You couldn't be happier You have a smile  fixed on your face. The milkshake Curdles with my stomach acid My mouth is dry I think I'm going to be sick And excuse myself. You don't notice That I'm quiet for the rest Of our lunch. You speak enough for The both of us Telling me stories That I don't want to hear. My ears ring Like mourning bells And I feel dizzy. My face is pale Under the artificial lights I wish I was anywhere But here. You drive me home Thank me for the Nice afternoon we had. I go in and know That I can never see you Again. As I am not your friend And never can be As I am not quite over you And I'm hurting More than I'd admit.

You look me in the eye And tell me That you've met someone And she's perfect You couldn't be happier You have a smile  fixed on your face. The milkshake Curdles with my stomach acid My mouth is dry I think I'm going to be sick And excuse myself. You don't notice That I'm quiet for the rest Of our lunch. You speak enough for The both of us Telling me stories That I don't want to hear. My ears ring Like mourning bells And I feel dizzy. My face is pale Under the artificial lights I wish I was anywhere But here. You drive me home Thank me for the Nice afternoon we had. I go in and know That I can never see you Again. As I am not your friend And never can be As I am not quite over you And I'm hurting More than I'd admit.

I am not the girl that most want to love I am a siren at all times Full volume blasting I do not keep my words bottled up I have far too many And not enough places to store them Instead I am vocal Wear my ripped out heart on my sleeve Still bleeding from the times I've had to bury it back inside of me I have dug it out on various occasions Only to sew it back again I have never much of a repairman My veins are blue With the stories that coarse through my body I have so many That sometimes I worry I will burst Fragile skin turned volcano Lava running through my bones I am not gentle Or sweet Rather harsh And honest I am not a sugar coated mixed drink But Bourbon taken straight from the bottle I am bitter With a tendency to burn throats And leave headaches I am unapologetic In my ****** ways Do not call me sweetie When I am the farthest thing from candy I will leave a forest fire in your mouth Melt down everything in my path And still not know how to say sorry I am anything but Polite I am stubborn, taurus, bull Anything but amiable I am not the girl your mother ordered I am the one she warns you about I am more medusa than aphrodite I am not goddess Nor princess I do not yearn to be swept off my feet Simply to be desired For more than just one night Nicotine lovers that want only momentary bliss You will not get me momentarily I cling like black ash on white sheets Smoke that stays in the air Leaving you gasping for breath I am not the doe-eyed Day wandering Innocence that men crave I am not delicate Not silk Rough to the touch Spikes that can ***** yku But my edges smooth over When I love And when I love, I love hard I am not the girl That most want to love back I am not one to stand out I am an opal among diamonds I do not need to shine In order to know that I'm beautiful I am an oak among palms I am hoping that someday Someone will be able to admire my wood Scars and all I am not the girl that most want to love I am not the girl I am not I am Girl I am human I am willing to open my wide reaching arms Willing to let down my titanium plated guard Mold my brass knuckles back into bone Turn my metal wired fists into string that you can wrap around your fingertips I am willing to ease But I am not Willing to change I am not the girl that most want to love I am a tree in a forest full of split branches I am not the girl that most want to love But I am anything But Hollow.

My Time is broken now— Or maybe it always has been. Yesterday seems so crisp, Until it becomes Yesterday. Years ago have been preserved perfectly Within the recesses of my mind, And yet Two Days Ago Eludes my desperate grasp. The ages blur together, With only a clear snapshot in-between. Where is the Doctor? Where is the Repairman? How much longer must I wait Before my Time runs smoothly once again?

Broken Time
the fact that the price tag is still on the beanie you bought me, claims the truth it's not that the little things were priceless, it's that they turned up worthless up to no point in return I'm such a hypocrite saying that I never ******* lie lately, it seems that I do it all the time all of the poison that I drank from the cup you gave me I should have never accepted I must have been ******* crazy you would never deserve a poem from me I'm already speaking too much you were never worth a moment of my time wasted in more ways than one this bottle of gin never loved me more the fact that the little **** I see reminds me of you and the thought I was once loved makes me sick I wish I would have known before that I was meant to fix you up call me a ******* repairman man, that's ****** up what did I ever do to deserve this? the biggest heart and never a flinch but when you look back you call me a ***** you say the opposite of everything I've ever done I don't understand that logic at the end you're the one who ran at least after the end of reading this I can still stand

this is not a poem
I wish the big crunch theory was never disproved Because I want to be unmade I want to see myself going backwards So my mistakes can be undone Not so sure I want to be born again Cause I'm sure I'll just waste all my dopamine On pointless highs and someone I'd be coping on Cause this human condition is something to cope with Because hope doesn't exist it just works when you believe in it And my mechanisms are missing gears What do you do when the engineer is broken So don't try and prune, just remove my stem I'm the lonely astronaut Because we're all just neurons in the mind of god And I have no synapse friends **** time, if I'm dead that's something I can break and bend If I had more time, this broken repairman could mend

Repairman
The repairman Sat at the bar Broken Great, now there were two things he couldn't fix She was gone His heart went with her And only a drunken shell Remained His dad always told him "If something's broke, fix it" And his dad gave him His first set of tools And they built A rocking chair together And even though His dad was gone He still had Them And his dad's last words To him Were "I love you" But she always said "You don't love me" And she gave him His first child And they built a family together But she was gone And he didnt Still have them And her last words To him Were"I don't love you" He left the bar drunk And started For home And as he walked He saw families And couples But it was always her Her with another And he hated them No He hated himself He was walking Near a bridge A good ways Above the water Rocks beneath He stopped He was on The edge Of the bridge But it wasn't a bridge It was a pit And he was at The precipice He jumped And the only one Who went to his funeral Was his corpse

His Obituary
God the problem solver, The repairer of the breach And restorer of all things. Like with the repairman That fixes broken items, I am learning to give My problems to you Lord. For the power of restoration Is in your hands.

Psalm-112
I have myself convinced that my heart has a limited amount of repairs. That after the seventh time it is broken, there will be no way to fix it. I don’t trust its durability. But I am the owner and the repairman. And if I say it will get fixed, it will get fixed. Lifetime guaranteed.
