"rumor" poems
kissing you was like swerving into oncoming traffic i can never tell if i am more haunted by empty picture frames or the ashes of their contents you taught me that the saying "pick your battles" meant not answering when love was at the door sometimes when i drink whiskey i swear i can hear your voice in the creases of my bedsheets & i sleep on the floor i still catch myself running my hands over things you touched the most, looking for the echoes of your fingertips i practice things i'll never say to you i remember the day you told me you didn't like poetry, how "everything's already been said" & how "nothing meaningful can be captured without being cliche" you know, i don't miss you like the sun and moon, i do not miss you like tide bent waves crashing on the shoreline, i miss you like a chernobyl  swingset misses children rumor has it that drowning is a lot like coming home, that drinking bleach can **** the butterflies in your stomach for your love of cigarettes, i would have been an ashtray this halloween i want to dress up as the you when you loved yourself and show up on your doorstep i never understood what you meant when you said i was an instrument, back when you would cup your hands around my chest and breathe through the holes in my heart, i still wonder if the sounds i made remind you of wind chimes i never paid much attention to abandoned buildings until i became one in my dreams all the flowers smell like your perfume i am the only person who has ever wished for the same snowflake to fall twice if i could go back, and rewrite the definition of audacity, it would be how when we lost the bet of love, you said "we never shook on it" i love you, if the feeling is not mutual, please pretend this was a poem the only apology i want from you, is to have you repeat the names of children we will never have in your parents living room until they ***** we are the same person if you find yourself up at 4am dry heaving promises, or if you are kept awake by the laughter of those who've abandoned you nobody ever told you that goodbyes taste like the back of stamps sometimes i'm convinced that the only reason we hug, is so you can check my back for exit wounds

i always thought you were thru traffic that you were just jet lag background noise the kiss in the rain i've never had but what if you aren't? what if this was the thousandth time i have loved you? what if this is just a fresh coat of paint? what if god keeps a handkerchief soaked in the day we met next to his bed? maybe theres a reason i reach for no one in bed the way i would if someone used to be there you know, they say the road behind us is littered with things we couldn't hold onto i wonder how many times you've slipped through my hands like hour glass sand do you know how much erosion you've caused? i heard cupid stopped keeping count of how many times we came together just to come apart again maybe it was just a rumor it makes me think about how many times i've almost had you like if all this talk about history repeating itself endlessly replaying is true i wonder how many times things have happened already like the time i tried talking you into loving me back back fired or the time i could have sworn jesus & lazarus were playing chess with my heartbeat but it was only you smiling how many times have i tried to tell you how many times have you read this poem how many times have i tried not to meet you in my dreams anymore it's like sleep tries to warn me of what's happening before it does but i keep having this dream where i tell you bedtime stories and each one is a different way you die and in every one i can never save you it's like you're this song i have on repeat and every time it starts over i forget the words it's like you picked up the book entitled "us" and the back cover said you'd leave so you never bothered reading it tell me you aren't going back in that bookstore just to do it again or will you tell me tomorrow? or is this the time you don't say anything at all? if this has all happened before if we call it quits before we begin again from the beginning i just want to ask you to be my fire because i am tired of these old lives and i'd like to see them burn

The line didn't move, though there were not many people in it. In a half-hearted light the lone agent dealt patiently, noiselessly, endlessly with a large dazed family ranging from twin toddlers in strollers to an old lady in a bent wheelchair. Their baggage was all in cardboard boxes. The plane was delayed, the rumor went through the line. We shrugged, in our hopeless overcoats. Aviation had never seemed a very natural idea. Bored children floated with faces drained of blood. The girls in the tax-free shops stood frozen amid promises of a beautiful life abroad. Louis Armstrong sang in some upper corner, a trickle of ignored joy. Outside, in an unintelligible darkness that stretched to include the rubies of strip malls, winged behemoths prowled looking for the gates where they could bury their koala-bear noses and **** our dimming dynamos dry. Boys in floppy sweatshirts and backward hats slapped their feet ostentatiously while security attendants giggled and the voice of a misplaced angel melodiously parroted FAA regulations. Women in saris and kimonos dragged, as their penance, behind them toddlers clutching Occidental teddy bears, and chair legs screeched in the food court while ill-paid wraiths mopped circles of night into the motionless floor.

Flight to Limbo
sometimes i wonder if god keeps a record of all the times i have been left, all the times i have been unable to leave. i wonder if he thinks to himself, "when will she learn?" as if he feels my heartache too. i picture god with a furrowed brow, hunched over a typewriter, beginning me again and again, a mountain of crumpled paper at his feet. but somehow - he always ends up at the same point in the story where i am all ****** palms and half-hearted hallelujahs propped up on bruised knees. spitting up blood & teeth at his feet screaming, "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT?" but he doesn't answer. and i catch myself wondering if the silence is his way of punishing me for making a deity out of you. after all, the bible says he is a jealous god. i could've sworn there was a verse somewhere that said you weren't allowed to love anyone other than me. but now that i think about it, i probably took it out of context. if i could add a parable to those already existing, it would be how your chest felt like church under my head, and how i thought to myself, "this is how it would be if he loved me back." or how you fled my bedroom like a crime scene. i am still bleeding. i won't tell you how many times i cracked my heart in half trying to be what you wanted. how my lips on your skin felt judas. now i am waiting for god to begin me once more, hoping he'll leave you out of the plot this time because i don't think i could stand to lose you again. see, rumor has it he knew you'd leave and has been trying to make it up to me since before we'd even met. my song is one of repentance. the wood finish from abandoned pews rotting under my fingernails. i made sacrifices you didn't ask for. i have never known whether my inability to abandon people is more a strength or a weakness but so far everyone i've ever loved has turned into an exit wound, and myself into a flickering no vacancy sign. - m.f.

I tend to, Give my all without expectations of receiving something of equal worth So I end up in bed accompanied by my emptiness Feeling worth less than the word less Because I wear my emotions on my face and I can’t seem to separate the Pain from the passion. I guess it’s my fault that this happened. I guess it’s my fault, and since I’m not one to make allegations I have no patience I end up accepting less than I deserve, and I’ve always heard That I can be whatever I want to be, and it’s up to me to turn my daydreams Into realities, but in reality, the concept of reality is all new to me I have a problem. I tend to, Give my all without expectations to, receive something of equal worth What am I worth? I’m not sure but my…soul contains the universe And beauty is in the hush of the trees Misconceived mix match of half-baked beliefs But I’m not one to make allegations, I have no patience Recycled existence of inspiration I’ve always heard…never judge a book by its cover So if I’m judged for doing me That’s another brand new cavity across the meaning of the word humanity That’s another false rumor spread Another he said she said text read Another person’s confidence dead. But I can solve the California water crisis with the tears that I have not shed. I wear my emotions on my face, but do not be confused by the lack of emotion that I show. See, whenever you’re invited to a funeral, we all know that you’re supposed to go, but we do not cry for the ones we do not know What are you worth? You are a slave to your mind and can’t see what is, for what it is for. Helloo, this is the 21st century and we don’t need chains to make slaves out of people anymore. If you’re lost, insecure, and feeling worthless, give yourself a worth test. They’ll call you dramatic, but I’ll call you my living protest.

Worthless, this is my protest

My cat child brings order where there was none. Let's not talk about the walnut shell of my womb, empty birthplace of dust. Let's talk about my cat child, proud with powers, handy with struts. Now, listen-- I have forgotten all about you. I've heard that I was in love once, but who knows? Show me the evidence; I'll yawn elaborately, and my cat child will agree that such stuff is dull in the extreme. Dead fish, on the other hand, become more riveting every minute. You would not have understood my cat child. At least, that's my foggy instinct about it. You would have objected to the damage, the **** and the fleas. The rumor is, cats were royal once, and I need the reflected glory and the chance to sleep during the day. Right now, my cat child is away. She is hungry for mice, songbirds, or someone's leg. Me, I don't eat anymore, can't recall why I ever did-- I remember nothing, value nothing, aspire to nothing. But once, The feel of my mouth closing gently over the curve of your soft lower lip seemed such an urgent thing, like warm waves for mermaids, a place I would do anything to get to. Yes once, the sight of your dark hair sent warm honey over my heart, my belly, my *** and everywhere, my love, from my skin to the stars. Now, though, I have forgotten all that. What were we talking about? I have no idea. Now there is only the glare of afternoon and the magnificence of my cat child who has given me nine lives-- none of them worth a **** all as dead in the mouth as a finch with a broken neck.

I guess I just expected Something else It happens every year, I get excited Hopeful Giddy That maybe This year will be Different. Maybe I'll find an awesome friend Who does my nails And answers calls at two am Like Nicole did Before she moved to California Or she could be like Kayla Who would be silly with me in Drama class And use chocolate sauce for blood In our Black and White movie Before her dad died in combat And she went to bury him in Some foreign country Where cell phones Don't count Or a boyfriend like Louis That I could see a future with Sitting listening to Relient K In a college dorm With a million years to spare Before he left for London But the girl in front of me In English Pops her gum for the boy In the next desk And could poke my eye out With her fake straightened hair. The girl in my drama class Cakes on her mask and Participates in pageant after pageant And calls her anorexia A diet And I heard the rumor That the boy I thought was cute In chemistry Was caught ********* his Girlfriend Under her desk in Español Dos. I didn't think my standards were too high to meet.

The Replacements
I ran up six flights of stairs to my small furnished room   opened the window and began throwing out those things most important in life. First to go, Truth, squealing like a fink: "Don't! I'll tell awful things about you!" "Oh yeah? Well, I've nothing to hide ... OUT!" Then went God, glowering & whimpering in amazement:   "It's not my fault! I'm not the cause of it all!" "OUT!"   Then Love, cooing bribes: "You'll never know impotency!   All the girls on Vogue covers, all yours!" I pushed her fat *** out and screamed: "You always end up a ****** I picked up Faith, Hope, Charity all three clinging together: "Without us you'll surely die!" "With you I'm going nuts! Goodbye!" Then Beauty ... ah, Beauty— As I led her to the window I told her: "You I loved best in life ... but you're a killer; Beauty kills!"   Not really meaning to drop her I immediately ran downstairs getting there just in time to catch her   "You saved me!" she cried I put her down and told her: "Move on." Went back up those six flights went to the money there was no money to throw out. The only thing left in the room was Death   hiding beneath the kitchen sink: "I'm not real!" It cried "I'm just a rumor spread by life ... "   Laughing I threw it out, kitchen sink and all   and suddenly realized Humor was all that was left— All I could do with Humor was to say:   "Out the window with the window!"

The Whole Mess ... Almost - by Gregory Corso
She was stunning, gorgeous Everywhere she went she turned heads The boys whistled, the girls muttered their jealousy They poked and prodded her until she was reduced to nothing more than a hopeless nobody She stopped trying, she stopped looking for the compliments and the easy smiles that seemed to spring up when she came around She didn't know what had turned the opinions of so many, Maybe it was a nasty rumor made by a popular girl It could have been anything really But all that tearing down allowed her to build back up She realized that she didn't need the makeup and the dresses and the fancy shoes to be beautiful What really mattered was her heart, her soul And so she found beauty inside Her new found shining grace shone from deep beneath her skin And although there was still muttering when she walked in the room, She had learned to push it all aside And see the true beauty of the world around her

Beautiful
No more than a rumor Or a legend spoken in whispers Mischievous folklore Foretold around campfires About a man Skin black, birthed under an Eclipse Who stalks the dark forces Casting his might over them Fending off the evil Which festers across the land Bleeding gold ink That soils the crop and livestock Wherever life thrives Evil musters its footprints But wherever it may be He is there Baffling their kin Striking like thunder Swift and silent Like the humming katana Making clean kills And fading back into thin air Being seen as a ghost When more is known of him For he is flesh Great in heart And vibrant in sight As the father of judgment Carrying out his given cases That are closed by his steel hands

Birthed Under an Eclipse
father offers, no, we are bodies trapped in people. he was known to be monstrous when inside a vandalized church. if gay, he’d ask does anyone ask if you were born? yesterday, she was identified by her dentist. she was recalled as a hunger pain. man is a rumor started by god.

PURE GOLD
At spawn of first light Darkness embarks into the recesses of hibernation And so begins the blinding incline, the inevitable blonde coiled wreaths frustration is on the rise forces a discharge so multiple and emanate, the skyward black shrinks back from panoptic reaches, into a delinquent weakened rumor When this daily task of ridding the black ends a victor The climb continues upward in a high sky setting Consequential over the mornings painstaking labors Wiping from his brow, in a waving motion To release mists over global hydration By welcoming this morning dew, the earth is one more day new and can take great relief in this rebirth Assuring all parched famine will gain resolve taking in their absolve

What tenements of clover
Déjame ser tu espejo... te supliqué aquel día. Recuerdo que tu mano se estremeció en la mía. Yo, que envidio tu espejo, quiero saber qué sientes 1 al copiar en la alcoba tu cuerpo adolescente... (detrás de los almendros, casi del fondo 2 del mar surgió la luna, con su espejo redondo...) Te vi de pie en la sombra. Junto al lecho vacío se oyó un rumor de sedas, como el rumor de un río. Y yo, como el espejo de aquella alcoba oscura, yo, allí, solo contigo, reflejé tu hermosura. Fue un instante, en la sombra. No sé bien todavía, si eras tú, si fue un sueño o una flor que se abría. Muchacha de la noche de un día diferente: yo no envidio tu espejo, ya sé que nada siente. 3 Ya sé que te duplica sin comprender siquiera que eres mujer hermosa como la primavera; 4 pues, si lo comprendiera, saltaría en pedazos, por el ansia imposible de tenderte los brazos.

Poema del espejo
Sterling eyes close the falling red ward Big Brother has seen it all He tells me: *there is danger Terror past the massive, all-protecting Atlantic* Don’t stray there, the mouth of stumbling heads say, They want to take away Our safety, our ways, our Freedom Mr. Elected reassures *Nothing will harm you Not with me going there I don’t want you going there* He speaks like my mom Warning me of the illicits I am too vulnerable to experience It’s death I’ll go to- I’ve been told Sleepless red monocular Enlightening the air to a passive blue It’s opacity beneath and above Ascending again Mama and Baba say it’s time to go home I confront the arid peninsula of Qatar Lungs accustomed, vitality not frozen Precariously perceiving the harmful Sentiments of years past in Jordan, I wonder why my kin would ban this place Rumor on dirt pavement in a draft, ears picking up *The Atlantic is not to be crossed, A lack of morals, malintentions lay beyond the scape.* Extravagant grenade above, Falling to the horizon And no detonation, collapsing behind a curved veil Skyward lay the remnants Of heat, frozen in time The lips in a box on this shoreside Warn *the zephyrs from the ornery Reaches towards our home Be on guard of the deceitful star at night that rains red* Tomorrow may not be there My blood brothers of Lebanon say, But I wait, field of vision aligned to the east Aural stumbles translate, articulating My brethren begin their search of food And in too many moments unnoticed, Black on bottom, red on the low, blue slowly suffocating the obscurity above

Oh, somewhere we been lied upon. Fiction imagine, as facts by someone. Yes, rumors circulating around loud and free. Then , they want confirmation. While not seeking total truth. We the innocent required to submit our own self defense proof. Lies and rumor, without confirmation has ruin many things. Many reputation, may relationships. Many of various things. Given a lot of us horrible and terrifying names. Lies and rumors, without confirmation. It's a shame.

Lies and Rumors(Without Confirmation)
Trump STILL can't stand the thought That Clinton won the popular vote. In efforts to cause a major distraction, He's keeping the voting fraud rumor afloat. Clinton received two point eight Million more votes than he-- Votes from voters physically present Or votes from those voting absentee. He says that he has evidence Of widespread fraud. We can surmise That he has his "alternative facts"-- A handy euphemism for lies. It's a preposterous, baseless claim, A mere BELIEF that he maintains, Another false conspiracy theory, An insult to people who use their brains. Voting fraud is an issue That Trump loves to keep in his sights. For him it's a very useful excuse To go after voting rights. If there was so much voting fraud, The chances of which are very slim, Does Trump ever wonder how many Fraudulent votes went to him? The more he whines, the more he harps-- He's even driving Republicans mad!-- The more he loses the smattering Of credibility that he once had. - by Bob B (1-24-17)

It Continues
Late last night I saw something fall from the sky, I happened to be in the kitchen making tuna on rye. As I looked out my window it landed in my yard. It crushed the pink flamingos, the wife took it hard. I stood there at the window taking in the sight, Bright lights flashing red, blue, and white. Then suddenly a door slid open, I was seized by fright. But my wife had gone out the door, in her hand a kitchen knife. As the little green man stepped out, he was looking fine, In a tye dye tee shirt, waving his hands in a peace sign, Looking like he had come straight from the sixties, I think he was expecting to find some hippies. Thinking this guy might be peaceful, I tackled my wife, As she dropped the knife, I yelled, "He might be nice". The little green man then pulled out a bic and gave it a flick, As he held two finger to his lips, I realized his vice. As I had given that up long ago, I had nothing to share. But the little guys face showed such despair, I went into the house and got the beer from the fridge, And grabbed the Nacho Doritos for this astorial kid. We sat on the lawn chairs out under the sky, drinking the beer, eating tuna on rye. I asked where he was from, he just pointed up. When we finished our beers, I said good luck. Back to the spaceship the little man went, his steps were unsteady, I think he was spent. He got in the spaceship and closed the door. As I waved goodby, the spaceship took off with a roar. I heard on the news later that night, That something had crashed in a field, lips were tight. But I heard a rumor, that someone was found alive. I guess I should have told him not to drink and fly.

Area 51
Late last night I saw something fall from the sky, I happened to be in the kitchen making tuna on rye. As I looked out my window it landed in my yard. It crushed the pink flamingos, the wife took it hard. I stood there at the window taking in the sight, Bright lights flashing red, blue, and white. Then suddenly a door slid open, I was seized by fright. But my wife had gone out the door, in her hand a kitchen knife. As the little green man stepped out, he was looking fine, In a tye dye tee shirt, waving his hands in a peace sign, Looking like he had come straight from the sixties, I think he was expecting to find some hippies. Thinking this guy might be peaceful, I tackled my wife, As she dropped the knife, I yelled, "He might be nice". The little green man then pulled out a bic and gave it a flick, As he held two finger to his lips, I realized his vice. As I had given that up long ago, I had nothing to share. But the little guys face showed such despair, I went into the house and got the beer from the fridge, And grabbed the Nacho Doritos for this astorial kid. We sat on the lawn chairs out under the sky, drinking the beer, eating tuna on rye. I asked where he was from, he just pointed up. When we finished our beers, I said good luck. Back to the spaceship the little man went, his steps were unsteady, I think he was spent. He got in the spaceship and closed the door. As I waved goodby, the spaceship took off with a roar.

A wild child, a free spirit Her laughter is contagious Once you hear it The happiest girl you'll ever meet But watch out, she only wears socks, so don't step on her feet!!! She lives life on the edge To live it up is her pledge She's so vivacious & some may think she lives much too dangerous People's opinions don't affect her days She continues to live her carefree ways Although she seems to be vanishing from our sight Something just isn't right Her frame is gauntly & frail Less then 100lbs now on her scale Don't you dare ask her if she's sick Or mention her arms being thin like a stick She'll deny anything & say she's fine Even though in the bathroom, a few minutes ago, she did a line She still seems the same Rumor is, drugs are to blame But what is strange Nothing is different except her weight change So the truth really is unclear But they'll always think the worst fear No matter what is fake or true People will always have an opinion about you So continue doing whatever it is you like All those haters can go take a hike Looks can be deceiving & the wrong message people can be receiving Just keep your head held high so you wont fall flat Because it is what it is & that is that!!

Deceiving
*The world is silent my mind turns vilolent there is so much noise that it can't be quiet!* *As the rhythum of words began humming inside my ear saying different things that arent clear.* *Was that a rumor? water engulfs inside my ears It's that a gossip I ponder? Oh no, Not another rumor!* Oh, dear... *All those words clogged inside I said nothing ,but nod Those words filled up my ear and its hard for me to hear... except these rumors.* This I fear.

1576 The Spirit lasts—but in what mode— Below, the Body speaks, But as the Spirit furnishes— Apart, it never talks— The Music in the Violin Does not emerge alone But Arm in Arm with Touch, yet Touch Alone—is not a Tune— The Spirit lurks within the Flesh Like Tides within the Sea That make the Water live, estranged What would the Either be? Does that know—now—or does it cease— That which to this is done, Resuming at a mutual date With every future one? Instinct pursues the Adamant, Exacting this Reply— Adversity if it may be, or Wild Prosperity, The Rumor’s Gate was shut so tight Before my Mind was sown, Not even a Prognostic’s Push Could make a Dent thereon—

The Spirit lasts—but in what mode—
Listen to the rumor mill. And watch that rumor spread. Notice that within that rumor mill. How things gets mislead? Instantly they run with the news. And try to make it truth. And when you advise the word spreader. That unless the person spoke in personally. The rumor should stay quiet. But you always find some to buy it. He said, she said seems to stand true. Unless that rumor is specifically about you. Then when confronted. You know the story. I'm only going by what so and so said? Don't get mad at me. These are the people that runs when they should have remained silent. Now, no one knows how the rumor started. Cause they were the ones that took the lie a little higher. At the office. At school. At church. And they should know better.

The Rumor Mill
They'll find me hanging upside-down. Ankles bruised by the ropes From which you strung me up for field dressing. Lacerations where you’d cut my throat, Bled me dry, spilt my guts, And broke past my ribs, to uproot my heart. Can they carbon date the remains of my reputation? Trace the ****** back to your mouth? Will they know the cause of death to be the Malignant rumors you couldn’t help but spew? Your false words: the final nail in my coffin. Do you regret ever letting them past your lips? Slowly, my reputation crippled by the aggressive Cancer that was your embellished utterance. And it didn’t bother you in the slightest. You marveled at the sight of my struggle. And amazing how these things seem to spread. One caustic, contagious, breath from you was all it took. Though the slanderous virus wouldn't make it 'til morning; Addicts to their fix; gossips, crave your empty words. Like ******* the rush is intense but brief. Interest fleeting, they move on. Off to the next peddler. For all these inconveniences, I thank you. Thank you for lifting the masks that curtained your distorted self. How blind I must have been not to see it outright. Another leech, feeding on slighted words. And to think; all it costed you to buy in Was me...

Malignant Rumor
It has been a couple of weeks since the rigor of being McGregor boiled down to nothing, and Mayweather had an Irma of punches ricochet off of him. I recollect this seemingly regular pre-big-match rumor, that the game was arranged. These verdicters pronounced a loss for Conor. If so, Mc. man there took way too many hits for the money. Now that McGregor is left for dead, and verily, Floyd may or may not have added a few more Lamborghinis from the Billion bucks prize !!! Many fortunes have changed. I've fallen deep down into this cemetery where my thoughts lay dead, and from the abyss sprout up a paradox that stands for all fortunes: We all fish in the same waters; if one stirs a ripple, driving the fishes away, another is gifted a school without much labor.
