"robbins" poems
the lady has me temporarily off the bottle and now the pecker stands up better. however, things change overnight-- instead of listening to Shostakovich and Mozart through a smeared haze of smoke the nights change, new complexities: we drive to Baskin-Robbins, 31 flavors: Rocky Road, Bubble Gum, Apricot Ice, Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Mint... we park outside and look at icecream people a very healthy and satisfied people, nary a potential suicide in sight (they probably even vote) and I tell her "what if the boys saw me go in there? suppose they find out I'm going in for a walnut peach sundae?" "come on, chicken," she laughs and we go in and stand with the icecream people. none of them are cursing or threatening the clerks. there seem to be no hangovers or grievances. I am alarmed at the placid and calm wave that flows about. I feel like a ***** in a beauty contest. we finally get our sundaes and sit in the car and eat them. I must admit they are quite good. a curious new world. (all my friends tell me I am looking better. "you're looking good, man, we thought you were going to die there for a while...") --those 4,500 dark nights, the jails, the hospitals... and later that night there is use for the pecker, use for love, and it is glorious, long and true, and afterwards we speak of easy things; our heads by the open window with the moonlight looking through, we sleep in each other's arms. the icecream people make me feel good, inside and out.

The Icecream People
Turquoise blues guitars Laughing baby elephants (that paint) Melodies singing lullabies to sleepy baby elephants (tired from painting all day) Blank canvases full of blackberries on the inside The antidote to love All the dotes that didn't get doted And all the ones that did Playing badminton in the backyard of Cupid's summer home in Manarola The ruby that died to make Dorothy's slippers And the shortest hair from the Lion's tail Wine filled grapes Water balloons filled from hot springs and melted mountain snow Two spokes from Steve McQueen's "Great Escape" motorcycle Three kisses from Ilsa Lund And a smile from Sabrina Fairchild Tom Robbins' typewriter (it's magic) A flying dragon A dragonfly (grounded for not doing her homework) Jenny's phone number The pillow that hit the floor at Cecilia's that afternoon The third stair from the top of the Stairway to Heaven (best view) One of the lost souls swimming in a fish bowl And a grain of salt from the sea the other is swimming in An olympic size pool full of melted crayons A vile of sweat from the ever fleeing muse A refrigerator the size of Rhode Island Full of magnificent lines of magnetic poetry Poetry (all of it) The monster under the monster's bed Every foul ball ever caught by any kid Hammocks (any and every) The cardboard boat that never stopped sailing down the gutter of the world The secret to everything (kept securely under the bed of the monster, under the monster's bed) Santa's real address (you won't believe this) The blue ink from the blueprints of Atlantis Golf carts with no maximum speed The energy dust left from dancing, hugging and smiling Freshly climbed trees A warehouse the size of Antarctica completely filled Wall to wall with raw, unfiltered laughter Beer Everything that was left on the field Passionate embraces and embracing a passion Apology free, but full of forgiveness The wild of the wilderness The tame of the un-tame Language Intuition Conception First kisses, waves and winks Goodbye hugs and thrown in kitchen sinks Art Music Pain Puddles that have been danced in under pouring rain Empty film cans Films on screens All of these ingredients Are what makes up Dreams

Dear Hot Straight Actresses, Stop playing perfect lesbian characters on TV that cause me to become wet on lonely Thursday nights. It’s the equivalent of waving double chocolate fudge cake in front of a menstruating woman who has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. To name a few, Jennifer Beals as Bette Porter on The L Word. Stop it! Naya Rivera as the sassy Santana Lopez on Glee. Stop it! Angie Harmon as butch goddess Detective Jane Rizzoli on Rizzoli & Isles. You may be in the closet but you are gay and stop! And Sara Ramirez and Jessica Capshaw as the married ****** Dr. Cali Torrez and Dr. Arizona Robbins of Grey’s Anatomy. You…you keep going. You two give me hope. Hope that someday my insanely high expectations will be met when my hot art collecting, sassy mouthed Doctor with handcuffs in her back pocket jumps from the screen and onto my sweatpants covered lap. In this crazy assumption that I’ll end up falling out of an apple tree letting gravity push me into the arms of a woman who fixes my broken sense of reality with a amazing great hair and a wedding proposal. Missing out on the Hot barista who gives me an extra large when I ask for a small or the Budding **** artist who invites me to her galleries only to realize her muse has oddly the same hips as me. or the Best friend who is still stuck in the shadows of my closet. Nope…didn’t see any of those. I’m too busy watching the **** tube to see what low cut tops they can get away with before they leave the set and back to their husband and 2.5 kids. All I’m asking is… …when is it coming out on DVD?

Driving around this valley of sheets When I see a IHOP and realize that a sudden hunger has come over me They say Come Hungry, Leave Happy, and with one glance at your buns, perfectly made I realize that I have been staring far too long. Like Taco Bell, I should Think Outside The Bun But as I pass a Burger King I begin to wonder how many possible ways there really are to Have It Your Way, and as I lay you down I smile at the thought of how wonderful the taste of each one of your Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors will be. While I start to undress you I pause, hesitant With your smile and slow rhythmic breaths a song bursts into my head with a just one tip as if I'm at Cold Stone, and I think, just Let Yourself Go. "Where to start?" I ask as I glance up at Subway and I am reminded that I should always Eat Fresh. I should go in slow, but I dive right in like a bucket of KFC The scent of you, so enticing. The taste, Finger Lickin' Good I'll savor every moment, and by the subtle McDonald's arches that your back resembles, I'm Lovin' It and so are you. I grab a handful at ******* and realize that this poem is Delightfully Tacky, Yet Unrefined. Nonetheless, I can tell by the look in your eyes that you are ready Asking the same question that they ask at Wendy's Where's The Beef?

Fast Serenade
I swallowed her and now She lives inside me or I live Through her, we are alive. I’m her friend, her teenage And fantasies, a sixty year old- Hair and books she ever read Long distance phone calls And delight matched our Love for Sujata, Mr And Mrs Iyer And I sat on her couch on my Despised vacations sketching Letters to Milena, Quabbani And we spoke of her brothers, Generations and cafes I went. I’m Delhi, Bangalore and Endless conversations- She never met and she’s my Lost Malayalam, postcards and A world so familiar, a childhood. Hold your breath and relax I’m going to stay and listen Till you are out of stories and I repeat, remind and you smile. I’ll get you melodies and 60s Harold Robbins and Nutan, Your weirdness and aloofness. You don’t grow old with me I’ll live, I promise as your fonts Visit places you walked and Write to you all, deep- blue Letters, deep- blue-letters. You are my first high-heels Strawberry fields and music system I’ll recite you a love story Picture him as our classic heroes And giggle as girls sixteen and Seventeen. You swallowed me And I live through you, we’re alive.

As I rounded the hill Face to face with the still That I'd only heard rumors spoke of With no one around I sat myself down And proceeded to sample the stuff As sweet as honeydew melon Got my feet to a geling Made me feel like I did in my youth Sat with a dumb gaze for a while Then got the biggest of smiles When it came to me what I should do So I went with my plan And opened a stand Right there on the mountain side When word in the forest got out I never had any doubt That all of the critters would be stoping by You should have seen them all  guzzle As the squirrels ordered doubles Then proceeded to tell wild nutty lies It was quite the fiasco When they brought out the cowboy hats and  lasso's As the party went well into the night They paid in nuts and berries Which was fine by me With them I made different flavors of shine In flavors I made 32 So I wouldn't get sued By Baskin-Robbins who has 31 at this time From all the flavors I made Boysenberry was the fav The raccoons made up a dance called the boysenberry crawl Which was a big hit At the discotheque The beavers built in the early fall We made a deal I would sell them my swill For a little piece of the pie We were all getting rich I have to admit It's quite the relationship, the beavers and I Of course the beavers got greedy You know how beavers are needy Couldn't leave well enough alone Figured they had the right Who's going to pay for these lights That make this the best disco in town They started charging a cover Which didn't go over As well as they would have liked Plus they doubled the price of the ***** Which left little food On the woodland creatures tables at night Things went from bad to worse When they started to curse Me, "The Man" for the troubles they had I barely made it out alive By the skin of my hide When I packed and hit the road mighty fast Things had been going so well Before it all went to hell And me and my still were forced to leave Now still to this day You know why I always say That famous line, passed down in time "Leave it to Beav"

690 Victory comes late— And is held low to freezing lips— Too rapt with frost To take it— How sweet it would have tasted— Just a Drop— Was God so economical? His Table’s spread too high for Us— Unless We dine on tiptoe— Crumbs—fit such little mouths— Cherries—suit Robbins— The Eagle’s Golden Breakfast strangles—Them— God keep His Oath to Sparrows— Who of little Love—know how to starve—

Victory comes late
In the dim yellow light beneath deciduous trees she spun methodically in Autumn. Shadows loomed aloft, chirping their approval. She spun and seemed to levitate, the flickers of the evening flame reflected in her pale green eyes darting in between loose strands of bland vermilion hair. And she spun and spun as if she'd spin forever, Autumn. She was Autumn there and then, personified in glints of golden green and faded yellow brown descending listlessly to greet the open canvas of the forest floor. And the shadows pressed into the earth and disappeared as overhead the rain slashed through the shyness of the crowns betwixt the trees. And she slowly spun her last, and lastly, panting stood before me naked, shivering in the gentle gales that rose and fell like Mozart's heavy heart. I beckoned her with dead weights crudely fashioned to the pauldrons of my coffin that hung lowly, swaying listless as the leaves. And she smiled a tired smile and blew the kiss I yearned for seasons to receive before collapsing in the dirt. In Autumn. -Mike Robbins-

Autumn
Listening to George Jones. Or Mel Tillis. Or Maybe Mickey Gilley. I'm just a country boy listening to a country song. Good loving. Or a good feeling. I'm just a country boy listening to a country song. Listening to the original Statler Brothers. Singing Flowers on the Wall. Or Marty Robbins singing My Woman, My Woman, My Wife. There's nothing greater then a good country song. Whether it's by Johnny Cash. Or Johnny Paycheck. Or Roger Miller singing Dang It. There's just nothing like a good country song. Sure they reminds you of the blues. Or the blues reminds you of country. Either way the message is cleared. There's nothing like a good country love song. Throw in some Tammy Wynette. Or Loretta Lynn. Or play you some Dolly. And you'll see the story happening. Cause there's nothing like a good country song.

A Good Country Song
The voice of Morgan Freeman can make flowers sprout Penguins march like an army to the rhythm of his voice The voice of an opera singer may break glass But his just melds it back together I'm pretty sure Somewhere He's narrating my every footstep My every breath My every twitch He's somewhere looking down on me Giving the best play by play ever His deep bellowing voice Opens the worn hole Helps break Tim Robbins out of Shawshank And helps batman save Gotham The only thing he can't do Is get me through high school

Morgan Freeman's Voice
Out in the West Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with a Mexican girl. Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina Music would play and Felina would whirl. Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina Wicked and evil while casting a spell. My love was deep for this Mexican maiden I was in love but in vain, I could tell. One night a wild young cowboy came in Wild as the West Texas wind. Dashing and daring A drink he was sharing with wicked Felina The girl that I loved. So in anger I Challenged his right for the love of this maiden down went his hand for the gun that he wore. My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat, the handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor. Just for a moment I stood there in silence, shocked by the foul evil deed I had done. Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there I had but one chance and that was to run. Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran Out where the horses were tied. I caught a good one It looked like it could run Up on its back And away I did ride just as fast as I Could from the West Texas town of El Paso Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico. Back in El Paso my life would be worthless Everything's gone in life, nothing is left. It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden My love is stronger than my fear of death. I saddled up and away I did go Riding alone in the dark. Maybe tomorrow A bullet may find me Tonight nothing's worse than this Pain in my heart. And at last here I Am on the hill overlooking El Paso I can see Rosa's cantina below My love is strong and it pushes me onward Down off the hill to Felina I go. Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys, off to my left ride a dozen or more. Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me, I have to make it to Rosa's back door. Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel A deep burning pain in my side. Though I am trying To stay in the saddle I'm getting weary Unable to ride But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen Though I am weary I can't stop to rest I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle I feel the bullet go deep in my chest From out of nowhere Felina has found me Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for One little kiss and Felina, good-bye

*Poor Old John Patrick Robbins. I’m not sure what he’s done. When I dropped in at Hello today, I was very badly stunned. For I looked high and low, for the wordsmith’s rambling rants. A punctuation free zone. References to spandex pants. Free the Hello One! Oh Eliot, hear my cries. Without that crazy son of a ***** we will lack so many highs. Tales of madness and mayhem; poems on self-destruct. A comedian in a little black hat; a master of disorderly conduct. I know he’s learnt his lesson. I am sure he’d play the game. A model pupil in class, poetry being his aim. On my knees I beg, to the higher laws above. Hang on in there Gonzo! This is one poet, We surely cannot give up.*

mint chocolate chip ice cream
I used to wonder if fire ever felt guilty for its destructive nature but if you think about it a star died to put the morrow in your bones and it was Tom Robbins who taught me that fire is just the reuniting of matter with oxygen Everything is temporary and I know everything ends and every end is also a start and out of the ashes of beautiful things sprout more beautiful things but I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not ready for another beginning or maybe I'm not ready for your next beginning but I can't tell you that Listen, when I was seven I learned to patch up my bones with calcium and superglue but sometimes when the sun comes up too slowly they still rattle when I think about how trivial I am to you and I know you don't want to hear this but it's the truth of my tears and every inch of my skin and .

“Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to **** yourself or not. Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end. Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm. There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay? Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to **** yourself.” ― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker

Can someone answer me?
In the last quarter of the twentieth century, much of the world sat on the edge of an increasingly expensive theater seat waiting for something momentous to occur. Christian aficionados of the Second Coming scenario were convinced that, after two thousand years, the other shoe was about to drop. And five of the era's best-known psychics predicted that Atlantis would soon reemerge from the depths. To this last, Princess Leigh-Cheri responded, "There are three lost continents…we are one: the lovers." In whatever esteem one might hold Princess Leigh-Cheri's thoughts, one must agree that the last quarter of the twentieth century was a severe period for lovers. It was a time a time when romantic relationships took on the character of ice in spring, stranding many little children on jagged and inhospitable floes. Nobody quite knew what to make of the moon anymore Consider a certain night in August. The moon was so bloated it was about to tip over. For more than an hour, Leigh-Cheri stared into the sky. "Does the moon have a purpose?" She inquired. The same query put to the Remington SL3 typewriter elicited this response: Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question in life is whether to **** yourself or not. Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end. Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm. There is only one serious question. And that is: Who knows how to make love stay? Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to **** yourself. Answer me that and I will ease your mind about the beginning and end of time. Answer me that and I will reveal to you the purpose of the moon. -La Dispute, One

In the last quarter of the twentieth century, much of the world sat on the edge of an increasingly expensive theater seat waiting for something momentous to occur. Christian aficionados of the Second Coming scenario were convinced that, after two thousand years, the other shoe was about to drop. And five of the era's best-known psychics predicted that Atlantis would soon reemerge from the depths. To this last, Princess Leigh-Cheri responded, "There are three lost continents…we are one: the lovers." In whatever esteem one might hold Princess Leigh-Cheri's thoughts, one must agree that the last quarter of the twentieth century was a severe period for lovers. It was a time a time when romantic relationships took on the character of ice in spring, stranding many little children on jagged and inhospitable floes. Nobody quite knew what to make of the moon anymore Consider a certain night in August. The moon was so bloated it was about to tip over. For more than an hour, Leigh-Cheri stared into the sky.

I want to thank Ms. Kann, Pat Robbins and Ms. Farley; the realtors that convinced me to buy the poetry house. I want to thank Marie and Lynn, for warming the hearth. Next time, close the door. Smoke damage is a pain. I want to thank my parents for lying; the concrete foundation to this house of cynicism. I want to thank the neighbors, without the windows I wouldn’t learn anything. I want to thank Mr. Lynch, Ginsberg, Carlin & Blake for the fridge. An excellent place to keep my brain food I want to thank. Mr. Gabriel and Miss Phoenix, the only two lights in this house.

The Dedication Poem
As a canvas of naked beathy I trace every curve loving every moment when her sweet skin is pressed against mine. Her moans A music to fill the darkness of a passion filled night. Kissing lips tasting the sweetness of desire her body the vesssel of my love. Inside the softness are plessure building her love free as inside her i drive myself yerning for this moment to never end. Love is eternal *** is a action that only brings us togather as one. A storm of emotions and a valley of plessure as we explore are bodys togather one night of many of a eternal passion. Her legs around my waist back against the wall bodys apart souls togather. her plessure my passion sweat laced slumber as togather we came. as in gentle slumber i brush her hair aside from her neck. marvle at my angel so sweet within my arms. As she turns to me looking so deeply beyond all i am not. And seeing her lover and her friend she takes my inside her as we make love through the nights plessure casting aside the past and its pain. In her eyes I see all that I never knew i could be. Her eyes that touch my soul and melt the flesh. Words unspoken her body so perfect as if made for my arms. This night eternal you've cast over every day. Julie Elizbeth Robbins. You know the ocean of my soul and it yerns for you to forever stay. I could never say everything you are to me Jules. are road has been long but all I know is that. you are my passion and the life blood to my soul. For we know what other's few ever will love eternal babydoll John.

The wind is up and roaring mad Birds and insects fly between its gusts There is no other way to get around They can hear it coming Between the crying aching limbs and begging chimes The wind is having at it tossing trash cans down the street Robbins grounded to the lawns The wind will have its say or pitch them against the buildings like a threat

Join me, come share a drink Of times gone in a blink Here we sit, lost in thought Never have we found what we sought Pour us another, drown this sorrow All could be better, come tomorrow They call me the Gonzo poet Ready, now and always, to show it I will be here, forever with my friends Caring for them, because caring never ends Killing time before time deserts me Relishing those close, who set me free Of all the days that have gone past Broken bottles are always cast Be your health always bless you In all the things that you do Never fear, the Gonzo poet is here So come and join me now, in another beer
