The private gun salesman divine savior of our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness! Washes his own hands of the matter, he has no need for Mary Magdalene, divine ********** hippie. Arms outstretched he sacrifices his own collection (for a sum of course) for the anonymous benefit of a person who "seems alright". They aren't Mexican or Black after all! Or God forbid, Indian! What would we do without that Just defender? Our private gun salesman, divine savior of America.

The Gun Salesman
HOT WHEELS. I went from broke to buying a Lamborghini, Price tag not so teeny, Sleek and black, for my driving academy, Or should I buy the red Ferrari? Command a salesman to "comprare"? Wouldn't he be a happy chappy? But would it make me happy? I could be buying loads of stuff, But when you're old, you've got enough! To me, consumerism is in vain, My peaceful simple life in the slow lane. So, today I did not buy the red Ferrari, Or indeed the sleek Lamborghini, There was no Hot Wheels Driving School, Consumerism as a manipulative tool.

HOT WHEELS.
I made my own stop. I made my own end of the line. I made my own terminal. I end here. Someone died here today; the start of their journey, and the end of my own. oil blood urine fluids of mechanic and natural origins. I peddle my wares; I sell my sweat; I am an energy salesman. I ride this rail on rubber, not steel. I do not intend to steer clear but still be clear when the front-end is near. Electric elephants bound to acrobat playgrounds. Painted Tusks as valuable as my soul. I do not meddle with my pedal: joules of life grow more valuable. energy exchanged

I am a Province, a State, a Municipality, and a Region. I am a Soldier, a Pilot, a Minister, and a Legion; I am a black man, a white man, a brown man, a woman, A French man, American, Canadian, and Roman. I am a rap artist, a singer, a slam poet and guitarist; I dabble in the dark arts accompanied by a Marxist. I'm a barista, a gas man, a secretary, and Tsarina, A King and a Queen and a janitorial cleaner. I am a "lover," a "hater," a "here now" and "there later," I am Luke Skywalker, yet at the same time, Lord Vader. I am a driver, a walker, a rider, a stalker, A conservative liberal and a well-learned straight-talker. I am a salesman and clerk, A criminal and a serf, The proud owner of a weapon that, while it kills, saves the Earth. I am a drinker and smoker, A consumer and broker, A bomb-maker, con-artist, Priest, and interloper. I am a Citizen. Religious and secular, Macrocosmic, molecular, Suit wearing, uncaring, emphatic, irregular, A "packie," a **** a Scrabble fan playing Yahtzee; A Jihadist, sadistic, addicted to Herodotus, History is repeated by the philosopher that thought of us. The eroticist literature towards which we've all lusted; It looks like the bullets machine-gun is busted. Indifferent, ecstatic, illicett, erratic, An infant, a senior, a young man with bad-lip, A black man, a white man, a brown man, a woman, A Jew and a Christian, a Muslim musician, A monarch, elitist, pro-abortion defeatist, An anarchist, Black Panther, and a rich plutocratic; I am a citizen, And as one, I'm elastic.

The weather plots his journey Town to town in dead of night Fields dead and on a gurney He comes in to make it right A rainmaker, people call him A psuedo-scammer others say He sells himself as godlike He comes quick and does not stay He tells people what they wish for He beats the storm in to their town He seeds their minds with his tall stories He promises more green than brown Like an evangelistic angel He beats the weather to the ground He's a salesman like no other He picks their pockets with no sound A rainmaker, just a scammer He works the towns where nothing lives He is an alchemist non-gratta He always takes and never gives He sells snake oil and concoctions He is a shaman in disguise He promises rain where none has fallen There is more moisture in the farmers eyes He takes credit for a rainfall He promises gold where once was straw He's a rumplestiltskin with their feelings He sells them only what they wish they saw He may believe in what he tells them He always puts his name out on a stake But, can he truly make the skies open That is a choice the desperate make

The Rainmaker
Welcome to the con! The con starts with the author, Dr. Seuss. He's no doctor.  And that's a fact (and no it's not the only truthful thing in this diatribe of mine).  He used the doctor moniker to sell more books!        That guy in the book pestering the other guy to try "Green Eggs and Ham"? Turns out to be the ham and egg salesman, Sam I Am.   It's a motivational selling "won't take no for an answer" how to sell book disguised as children's literature.     And Sam I Am is psychotically relentless in his pursuit of a sale.  He needs a restraining order slapped on his ***                    "Would you eat them in a box? Would                     you eat them with a fox. Would you eat                     them with a goat.  Would you eat them on a                      boat".  Would you eat green eggs and ham,                     would you eat them Sam I Am?                                                                         Dr. Seuss And on and on. Sam I Am goes stalking him from page to page.        I had a friend of mine, Mustard Joe, ex war veteran with more than twenty kills (you don't even want to know the things he's seen) take a look into this green eggs and ham food source that Sam I Am is pushing so hard.  Here are some of the ingredients he may or may not have found.                                 Ham   --        30 grams of sugar (questionable )                          --       15 grams of caffeine (untested)                                Green eggs   --          Trace amounts of nicotine ( not verified)                         --          Handfuls of ******* (rumored) As you can see, It's not an exact science. People. When eggs turn green, that's mother nature trying to warn you that your food has gone bad.    But in the end, Sam I Am gets the fool to finally try the green eggs and ham and he absolutely loves it.  Maybe the books lesson   is about to not be afraid about things you don't understand or never tried. But I still believe there is insidious deception and evil in the book. I have to think that way.  Because after all -- I'm Willoughby !!

I read him one of my poems He complemented my mechanics And although part of me laughed Wondering how he heard me breathe the commas Heard my spelling bee winner's letter placement Still The notion stuck Steadfast Push-pinned in my memory In the neglected space where kind gestures live I told him how I appreciated it I should've told him Boy no no You don't understand My mechanics need fixing No not my grammar boy I should've told him to volunteer Sweet boy I know hands are easier to work with than words Touch me with both Shhhh sweet boy Fix me with your good nature Let it wash over me Wash away my grime You needn't a good speaking voice But a good intention Warming arms To thaw me Couldn't hurt But sweet boy Too bad We all grow sick of licorice And I broke you Like the mantelpiece momma told me not to play around I broke you For a less sweet boy With a politician tongue And words soaked in muddy motives I broke you Hardened you Into a less sweet boy With a polititia- err Salesman tongue And words soaked in muddy motives I left you Gone with the wind You were the Rett In the search for my Ashley But he broke me Like the soldiers countenance heading to combat He left me Wondering Where all the sweet boys could have gone

Sweet boys
Restless hungry, found a tiny scrap of a brownie in the back of the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic about the size of a large 35 cent quarter.   Gobbled up and gone. Eye had purchased it a week ago, maybe more.   Actually it was more like eye was held up at gunpoint by a sad young face for a large and green single dollar Bill. In return, was bequeathed said brownie eye dropper-ful. The  apartment I live in a big city, many apartments were recession empty for a long time.  But in the last few years, the empty apartments in the building were almost all sold to foreigners.   Now the bldg is an amulet melted of the lucky overseas fortunate, those overseers overseas seizers, who come to reside in the most fabulous site in these United States...and buy a piece of the dream away from the be-headers, secret police or governments that decide you are now an enemy of the state, as of this morning. No judgement. anyway, this doe eyed child of estimated six or eight years of age accosts me in our large lobby, proffers me the brownie scrap for a Bill. me a sucker of a salesman myself, and an eye affician-doe, well those doefuls, those eyes, no one could resist! so eye asked her name, but all she could say in Anglais was... "Brownie One Dollar?" laughing out loud for no apparent cause, the hanging about lobbyists looked at me staring... Why was eye laughing? laughing cause eye realized this elfin child had become fitfully but fully Americanized. and I loved her eyes in mine, and when I see her periodically, I say: "Hey! Brownie One Dollar, How are ya!" and everyone snicker smiles at the old man with the even stupider grin upon his eyes. That would be eye.

In a long happy marriage Sometimes bedtime grows stale Once toe curling *** fades As libidos doth fail. We both have tough jobs And two kids of our own. Sad, we both want to sleep When we’re finally alone The man at the store Said “I have just the thing. You really should try it- makes your *** life take wing!” It wasn’t a **** flick Or a blue pill to swallow, Just a tiny transmitter to hide in her pillow. At night, as she slept, The salesman explained My subliminal message would be fed to her brain. With her passions inflamed She would turn to her mate Like the once nubile bride- Leave the rest up to fate. So I made a recording With a saucy suggestion Then looked forward to bedtime hoping for the res-errection. My bride’s a deep sleeper, (A good thing since I snore) The tape’s played two weeks now And I still haven’t scored. I completely was baffled That salesman assured That no “wood” would go wasted No ***** ignored. Instead every night About two thirty nine I’d slip off to the bath Where the “beat” would go on I resolved to return The unhelpful device Before the guarantee ended And I’d be out the price Imagine my shock, imagine my dread When I found the transmitter in my pillow instead! Seems my wife had decided To play with my head: “Honey, go f8ck yourself, If you wake me, you’re dead.”

I’m a travelling salesman between the 1A on 91.3 and songs that hurt on my Pandora station I go door to door selling hope The problem with selling hope is having some to spare a client once told me “you can’t front a berry and still make a berry” I think she was talking about ****** but the sentiment stands.

Rural Social Worker- Hope Dealer
I have a special interest in telling about my colonoscopy. The doc cheerful, secure in his specialty, colon cancer being the second leading cause of cancer death after lung tumors. They can snip the precancerous polyps right out of you during the test. At first the doc gave me the statistics but having paid 25 bucks for this       interview I decided to make him explain the science. He was most comfortable describing the physical architecture of adenomatous v. hyperplastic polyps but what about cell structure I said. He was vague about genes and       hormones, I could have been chatting with an Electrolux salesman. I wasn’t worried although my *** was burning. Everybody dies, everybody, even Whitman and Emerson, so I browse       models for dying— mine are middlebrow, saddlebow—John Wayne in The Shootist, Paul       Newman in Hombre—or hagiography Plath her head stuck in an oven, Hemingway who ate his shotgun. Anyway I was upbeat flirting with the nurse, a muse who has seen it all       before, acting tough, which isn’t actually an act you do your prep and say your prayers. I thought I’d be in and out **** as you probably already know the prep for this procedure is worthy of Gandhi. A day of fasting, clear fluids only, and constant voiding. You arrive at the hospital one spiritual chicken. I reflected it can’t hurt, lose a little weight, remember who you are without so much **** and flesh between you and the natural world. Snipping polyps is like taking electrons to a lower quantum energy level,       nearer the nucleus, with fasting and ****** abstinence. The art of total presence and abstinence, dependence on the Other for       future existence.

My father was famous for noticing endings admitting defeats accepting declines moving along being a good, end-of-game sport. Sometimes he’d spark a surprise come back— an evening of the score. “*The folks are as good as the people*” he’d declare. But as life invariably turns out, the folks are    rarely             as good                          as the people the pitcher as the batter the husband as the wife the striker as the goalie the salesman as the prospect the child as the parent the ying as the yang. In competitions someone always conquers, even if just a bit; the other always loses, even if just surface wounds— death always comes natural or quick. Then you know: “*It’s all over         but the crying.*” Dad, I’ve been crying, but when will I know “it’s over?” And, since some “folks” aren’t so good after all, please tell:         How victorious is victory?         Who is defeated in defeat?         What is the final score?         Who won again? The true score for when it’s over is perhaps how we make sense of the endings,                                                     beginnings,                                                                           and                                  rebeginnings                 of life shared and                                                                                           solitary. So where is that game clock that tally board, that ledger to release my game announce my endings settle my scores so I can do my crying and prepare for next season?         18.i.11

The true score for when it’s over is perhaps how we make sense of the endings,                                                     beginnings,                                                                           and                                  rebeginnings                 of life shared and                                                                                           solitary. So where is that game clock that tally board, that ledger to release my game announce my endings settle my scores so I can do my crying and prepare for next season?         18.i.11

I'm searching for intelligent life not in outer space but here on earth. I turn over a rock and find congress, the president, a couple used car salesman and a worm. the choice is obvious.

the search for intelligent life
His owner didn't quite know why Maybe asthma or an allergy, Maybe it was a cough or even a sigh. He was a cat and that was no mystery. He looked like a normal pet, Colored just like a giraffe, But, often at the strangest times He made a sound just like a laugh. One day a salesman came to call. Bliggle's owner was a widow. And sitting with Bliggle by her side They watched him through the window. The salesman knocked, she let him in, He looked at her and Bliggle. He told her all about his wares. And the cat began to giggle. The man went red and sweaty faced And waved his hands and told her She must buy his 'Whizzyclink'! He would stay there until he sold her. The widow said she didn't care If the thing cost a buck and a half. She wouldn’t buy the kind of gizmo That could make a kitty cat laugh. The salesman fumed and shouted then So she opened up the door. The salesman went all afluster, Then he stomped across the floor. The spoilsport then cursed at her And called her 'an old bat', And in his rage and fury He tripped over Bliggle the cat. Not hurt at all, the cat just sat And stared at him awhile. The salesman gathered up his goods And Bliggle slowly smiled. The salesman soon gave up his trade, He could not live down the rumor, That he lost his art to pitch a sale To a cat with a sense of humor.

BLIGGLE, THE LAUGHING CAT
My grandpa is in a rocking chair in the living room He slowly moves back and forth His eyelids are closed He listens to the talk around him but he doesn't take part Instead he dozes off his head drooping to his chest His swaying ceases His breathing slows The house he sits in has been his own for the past fifty years He raised seven children under its roof He added an addition for each new child first another bedroom then the family room out in back the garage Until the house became a home made of love and sweat Around Pop the conversation drifts to a grandson who just got a job working behind a desk for an insurance company making sixty-five thousand per year Pop never made that much money A coal miner's son who earned his degree taking classes whenever he could A salesman by day and a teacher by night He had a hard life but you won't hear that from him His grandson may think that he must have been dumb to work so long and hard for so little reward But what he doesn't understand is that my Pop sitting in his rocker in front of the brick fireplace that he built one stone at a time achieved more in his lifetime through hard work and sweat than my cousin ever will by wearing a suit to work sitting behind a desk and typing on a computer

Your rhymes were a bin bag thrown in the trash, couldn't even write a sentence, dyslexia of meaning and ****** up sentences that weren't even spelt write. Couldn't even spin a line, as it was meant to be straight but your words were more wavy than a bad perm. There isn't room for a failed wanna be, alone in your room ************ hard, But your more empty than the raisin ***** your trying to spit out of... Non consequential wording that doesn't flow down stream, more like your floating bloated breath releasing putrid gas that stinks more than what they were belching out. I never insult the cadavers of dead lines, but your words were buried even before you opened that hurse of dead beats. a handful of rhymes that were more powerful than your buried career, sorry you were a foot in the grave even before you opened your mouth. Song I wrote after I used your girl.. I wasn't the one she wanted it was you, but I gave her what she wanted and that never included you.. Every thing you wanted I stole, and gave her fake wishes that were tarnished but she never looked beyond the moment seeing the stitching of us was more fake than the smiles I gave her. I knew she wanted to be with you, but I was the salesman of woman.. While you were the boy next door, I was the salesmen showing her fake dreams.. Don't worry you can have her after I've used her enough, I'll even trade her in for a good price.. Ye, she'll be broken.. But everything is always defective after I've rode it enough... Her crown maybe cracked, but she'll be yours even though she'll be thinking of me even though your in her, I'm the length she'll remember but she'll be your crack queen. Now this is enough of wording. and I'm moving on to the next one.

A born salesman, my father made all his dough by selling wool to Fieldcrest, Woolrich and Faribo. A born talker, he could sell one hundred wet-down bales of that white stuff. He could clock the miles and the sales and make it pay. At home each sentence he would utter had first pleased the buyer who'd paid him off in butter. Each word had been tried over and over, at any rate, on the man who was sold by the man who filled my plate. My father hovered over the Yorkshire pudding and the beef: a peddler, a hawker, a merchant and an Indian chief. Roosevelt! Willkie! and war! How suddenly gauche I was with my old-maid heart and my funny teenage applause. Each night at home my father was in love with maps while the radio fought its battles with Nazis and **** Except when he hid in his bedroom on a three-day drunk, he typed out complex itineraries, packed his trunk, his matched luggage and pocketed a confirmed reservation, his heart already pushing over the red routes of the nation. I sit at my desk each night with no place to go, opening thee wrinkled maps of Milwaukee and Buffalo, the whole U.S., its cemeteries, its arbitrary time zones, through routes like small veins, capitals like small stones. He died on the road, his heart pushed from neck to back, his white hanky signaling from the window of the Cadillac. My husband, as blue-eyed as a picture book, sells wool: boxes of card waste, laps and rovings he can pull to the thread and say Leicester, Rambouillet, Merino, a half-blood, it's greasy and thick, yellow as old snow. And when you drive off, my darling, Yes, sir! Yes, sir! It's one for my dame, your sample cases branded with my father's name, your itinerary open, its tolls ticking and greedy, its highways built up like new loves, raw and speedy.

They call me a raving lunatic My mind is poor and sick Manic vagabond, mystic sorcerer Snake Oil Salesman, Son of Lucifer Given wings of Raven feathers Cursed to live in stormy weather Chaos lives beneath the color of my painted teeth I've a dark mind indeed, of morbid persuasion Come sing along to your damnation Ride the cannibal sensation Devise a way to survive the game Or you won't get out alive again Alchemy infernal, elixir of dark might Inhale the emerald Smoke of Jesterian Light Given to us a seventh sight Arise to conquer the lies this night Our darkest night A beast, a fiend, a wicked thing I'm a regular madman A creep, a dream, a demon seed A regular madman Indeed Follow me through the thick of the trees Over roots and rocks and dying leaves To a darker realm of mystery Where everyone is a freak like me A better place, you'll see A better place indeed

A Regular Madman
From the depths of hell Where I slowly fell A deal made with the devil As I started tossing pennies in a well But the angels came and broke my fall Saved me from sinking, down this hellhole The life I sold is more precious than gold That my friend is what I saw,life is now more clearer and bold But after all upon throwing them all Before the saving and breaking of my fall I drowned in fame,money and *** for 7 years I ruled the world as it rise to an apex But then downfall and recollection came tormenting my soul Hellhounds came gnarling,scratching and waiting at my bedroom door Regrets starts falling alone with my tears as I prayed for salvation Never thought God listened, As the angels descent ended my damnation The devil is a salesman and you're a valued costumer Starts thinking 7 times before you go and starts to barter For your soul is more precious than what you think you'll be having God gave me a second chance never thought my soul is worth saving

The Devil Is A Salesman And You're A Valued Costumer
You apologize as if you feel remorse. You lie! It's all about the sale. I was merely your customer and the bed was your product. Anything for a sale, anything to convince me you had what I wanted. But you were the one that wanted what I had. You apologize because you miss me. Well baby, keep em comin cause I'm not buyin. A lonely salesman is all you'll ever be. Apologizing for your selfish words and charming lies. Pity party honoring you, tragic life thats only yours. Salesman, I'm not interested. Your money does not impress. Salesman, show me the door! I don't care how sharp you dress. Salesman, you had me fooled. Your flashy cars and fancy toys were your favorite tool. I don't give a **** what the world says you're worth, because it's only a name, simply a title. A lonely salesman is all you'll ever be, a lonely salesman who thinks of me. Keep dreaming baby cause I'm never coming back. You had your way with me, stole it all in only a day. 'I love you' is what you speak, but 'I lust you' is all that leaks. Talking large and living the same. Hooking me was purely a mind game. A lonely salesman is all you'll ever be, a lonely salesman who thinks of me.
