"shabby" poems
This trumpeter of nothingness, employed To keep our reason dull and null and void. This man of wind and froth and flux will sell The wares of any who reward him well. Praising whatever he is paid to praise, He hunts for ever-newer, smarter ways To make the gilt seen gold; the shoddy, silk; To cheat us legally; to bluff and bilk By methods which no jury can prevent Because the law's not broken, only bent. This mind for hire, this mental ********** Can tell the half-lie hardest to refute; Knows how to hide an inconvenient fact And when to leave a doubtful claim unbacked; Manipulates the truth but not too much, And if his patter needs the Human Touch, Skillfully artless, artlessly naive, Wears his convenient heart upon his sleeve. He uses words that once were strong and fine, Primal as sun and moon and bread and wine, True, honourable, honoured, clear and keen, And leaves them shabby, worn, diminished, mean. He takes ideas and trains them to engage In the long little wars big combines wage... He keeps his logic loose, his feelings flimsy; Turns eloquence to cant and wit to whimsy; Trims language till it fits his clients, pattern And style's a glossy **** or limping slattern. He studies our defences, finds the cracks And where the wall is weak or worn, attacks. lie finds the fear that's deep, the wound that's tender, And mastered, outmanouevered, we surrender. We who have tried to choose accept his choice And tired succumb to his untiring voice. The dripping tap makes even granite soften We trust the brand-name we have heard so often And join the queue of sheep that flock to buy; We fools who know our folly, you and I.

Attack On The Ad-Man
This trumpeter of nothingness, employed To keep our reason dull and null and void. This man of wind and froth and flux will sell The wares of any who reward him well.

I was treated like the VIP, A cat and a big fish, A hook and a big Six, whilst visiting madam bow-peeps rotisserie of ***** Always receptive, Wearing open silk working 9 to 5am. With a little overtime, hot funk never satisfies, She had the way-with-all to feign, delight; even interest, before negotiating the price, Two shekels, She was classy, kind of slick, she tickled my ears for nothing more than kindness, a small token in exchange for a smile. She popped on a tune, as she took off her dress. The petting started her two hands tugging with the zipper of my jeans. A woman's touch... Ha HA, the rich sultry kiss of ***** tight and tasty; ***** like a ripe tomato, Sugar fried and drunk. She opened her legs, her hair smelled like shampoo, She was on her belly, knees tucked up as I took in the fruit, deep holes filled with **** and shabby fingers, hollow spit and angry poison, head spinning to the groove, loud and high, The bed squeaked and a single light bulb dangled like a loose tooth, Ten minutes and two ******* love songs! Sick and spent up, I got dressed to leave, I said with a poke, "I couldn't get laid, Not even in a ***** house!" And now I'm back in the cold again, only dirtier.

The ********** inspired by William & Don G
evening loneliness arrives at dawn and knocks on the dusty windowpane in the kitchen, i lie — with threadbare arms — against the shabby wooden cupboard frame this house is void of all electricity except for the light bulbs, the fridge, the T.V. and my steady-beating heart of rhythmic defeat lying naked across the tear-stained sheets if you come home and find that i am dead, perhaps some ***** dishes fell on my head but most likely, i'll be, in the living room gloom with a half-drunk bottle of wine to consume with emergency flares tied to both wrists, i'll leave you a smile, a sigh, and a kiss

suburban daydreams
I reminisce too much. Besides, what else is there to do? Remnants of the past, fragments Still squirming in my conscience In some vague room A flicker of my smile, a candle, a black robe And my button down shirt Laid across the floor for you to step on And you carefully tip toed To catch me in time, but I wasn't falling The seasons have passed exceedingly slowly But now, I am smiling again My nights are somehow less tormented It is beautiful today and I have things to do But before I leave and conquer the week I pause, if only for a moment, in this sun lit room I touch the French window And leave you behind, one last time Like shabby finger prints on unstained glass

Gone Away
I look up from my book to find beams of warm sunlight touching my face, the chugging of the train accompanied by its whistling, become my aural companions for the journey, as I look at scenes that unfold before my eyes : I pass by hawkers trying to sell their wares, their calls mingled with joyous voices, of children excited about their first train journey, of families on their way, perhaps, to attend a wedding, or to celebrate the birth of a much awaited child. I see : village belles toiling away on fields; shabby looking buildings speaking of years of neglect; temples ringing with the sounds of bhajans being sung with religious fervour, bells being tolled, pleading the gods to look down from their divine abodes; roadside stalls filling the air with aromas of food, promising hearty meals. They are all ephemeral sights, and yet, they have become a part of me - the smells, the sights - they shall bring back memories that will become my companions in solitude.

A train journey
Though in dexterity my  physically challenged  carpenter father, Than  the physically fit proves better,as a source to his anger, With contemporaries a level ground  he enjoyed never! From late childhood there was one thing that me used to bother,  why my so discriminated father On his turn true to cultural dictates,ill treats my domestic chores saddled mother And heeds not her say though by the sweat of their brow As responsible parents they were happily bringing my sister and I together? I still wonder why ,why ,why my sister who has IQ On par with me if not better,to help out mother Suffering a cold shoulder even by her mom was denied the  right to pursue education further While I was given a chance to prove a man of letter(s)? I remember, crossing many a pool, barefooted, I used to trek A long distance to a nearby town's a  school, Where for my  provincial and shabby clothes I was seen a fool By the relatively rich  in showing courtesy far from cool. Though stationery they didn't lack , sad,I had a hand tied behind my back. Alas,up on joining campus where I yearned for the sagacious a chance There too  in my class,I was looked down by students Hailing from families of the top brass. When I went abroad for a higher education enjoying fellowship and donation Worse still, I met many, colour has coloured whose vision. Ironically my dissertation was drawing attention To why should the broad mass be standers by And with ill-fate marked die While the favoured ,racist and the corrupt few gobble over 3/4 of the pie? /

I feel ugly. Like, the dark spots on a full moon. The burning skin under the crisp sun. The harsh stain of vibrant colours on a canvas. The violent shade of the monsoon cloud. The rustic smell of an old key. The sad wrinkles on a tree trunk. The tired stretch marks on a shabby body. Or, the birth of a life. I feel less. I feel pigmented. I feel lost. I feel strange. This is my beauty to taste. To embrace.

And then beauty intervened.
When shall we learn, what should be clear as day, We cannot choose what we are free to love? Although the mouse we banished yesterday Is an enraged rhinoceros today, Our value is more threatened than we know: Shabby objections to our present day Go snooping round its outskirts; night and day Faces, orations, battles, bait our will As questionable forms and noises will; Whole phyla of resentments every day Give status to the wild men of the world Who rule the absent-minded and this world. We are created from and with the world To suffer with and from it day by day: Whether we meet in a majestic world Of solid measurements or a dream world Of swans and gold, we are required to love All homeless objects that require a world. Our claim to own our bodies and our world Is our catastrophe. What can we know But panic and caprice until we know Our dreadful appetite demands a world Whose order, origin, and purpose will Be fluent satisfaction of our will? Drift, Autumn, drift; fall, colours, where you will: Bald melancholia minces through the world. Regret, cold oceans, the lymphatic will Caught in reflection on the right to will: While violent dogs excite their dying day To bacchic fury; snarl, though, as they will, Their teeth are not a triumph for the will But utter hesitation. What we love Ourselves for is our power not to love, To shrink to nothing or explode at will, To ruin and remember that we know What ruins and hyaenas cannot know. If in this dark now I less often know That spiral staircase where the haunted will Hunts for its stolen luggage, who should know Better than you, beloved, how I know What gives security to any world. Or in whose mirror I begin to know The chaos of the heart as merchants know Their coins and cities, genius its own day? For through our lively traffic all the day, In my own person I am forced to know How much must be forgotten out of love, How much must be forgiven, even love. Dear flesh, dear mind, dear spirit, O dear love, In the depths of myself blind monsters know Your presence and are angry, dreading Love That asks its image for more than love; The hot rampageous horses of my will, Catching the scent of Heaven, whinny: Love Gives no excuse to evil done for love, Neither in you, nor me, nor armies, nor the world Of words and wheels, nor any other world. Dear fellow-creature, praise our God of Love That we are so admonished, that no day Of conscious trial be a wasted day. Or else we make a scarecrow of the day, Loose ends and jumble of our common world, And stuff and nonsense of our own free will; Or else our changing flesh may never know There must be sorrow if there can be love.

Cheers! We praise our lined faces. We forgive time. We raise our cups of double-pressed wine. We know brute forests from our seed-time We know heaven will cleave those we entwine The season of heat is slow to erupt. April is late. March is still covered with snow, Its shabby sheet weak shoots barely interrupt., Succession and succession is what we know. In the thronged marketplace we know we’ll find Lines of who came before and who came after All seem in be arranged by some infinite mind Knowing where our line goes will not stop our laughter. We dance. All dances are in our repertoire. We know we’re headed to that sacred abattoir. Marc Tretin

***Put on your yamaka, it's time for Hanukkah So much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah, Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights, Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights. But when you're the only kid in town without a Christmas tree, Heres a list of people who are Jewish, just like you and me: David Lee Roth lights the menorah, So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli, Bowzer from Sha-na-na, and Arthur Fonzerrelli. Paul Newman's half Jewish; Goldie Hawn's half too, Put them together--what a fine lookin’ Jew! [Esus] You dont need Deck the Halls or Jingle Bell Rock Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock--both Jewish! [Esus] Put on your yamaka, its time for Hanukkah, The owner of the Seattle Super Sonic-ah celebrates Hanukkah. O.J. Simpson-- not a Jew! But guess who is...Hall of Famer—Rod Carew--(he converted!) We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby, Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish--not too shabby! Some people think that Ebeneezer Scrooge is, Well, hes not, but guess who is: All three stooges. [Esus] So many Jews are in show biz-- Tom Cruise isn't, [tacit] but I heard his agent is. [Esus] Tell your friend Veronica, its time to celebrate Hanukkah I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely Hanukkah. So drink your gin-a-tonic-ah, and smoke your mara-juanic-ah, If you really, really wanna-kah, Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Hanukkah……. HAPPY HANUKKAH!***

This is the quiet hour; the theaters Have gathered in their crowds, and steadily The million lights blaze on for few to see, Robbing the sky of stars that should be hers. A woman waits with bag and shabby furs, A somber man drifts by, and only we Pass up the street unwearied, warm and free, For over us the olden magic stirs. Beneath the liquid splendor of the lights We live a little ere the charm is spent; This night is ours, of all the golden nights, The pavement an enchanted palace floor, And Youth the player on the viol, who sent A strain of music through an open door.

His head kept bumping on my shoulder and he was not my father or anyone I knew he smelled as if a bath was overdue and slept like wasn't a place better than the ***** briefness of my shoulder. Breaking down was my brittle patience needled by his bristled cheek brushed by his shabby dress, was for rest the man hard pressed? Wouldn't I have been nudged by pride if the head on my shoulder was my father happy to have him by my side? as he gets older does his blurry mind miss a place where he is not alone one or any shoulder for an untimely nap in peace a quiet stranger to rest upon?

Fellow Passenger
I have a lot of them pretty clothes; Short,long or medium skirts. Shabby,decent or just mere blouses. Short,long or medium dresses. But none can compare to my favorite little black dress. Its neither too short,nor too long. And I cannot even classify it to be medium. Its entire length is knitted in black As it has stitched in white, A belt that covers the waist. Its not a very big belt though, Too little actually. But I love my favorite little black dress. It is not because I can wear it to any occasion that I love it; I can wear it to dinner, And yet be comfortable enough to select even my favorite musozya to be my meal. I can dance for the whole night when in it. I can meet even the scariest of inlaws in it, And shake the hands of the most respectable people while having its belt clenching my waist. My favorite little black dress. I just love it And it is not because I got my first kiss in it. Nor is it because I had just taken it off, When my lover devoured my flesh and took my innocence with him that night. Leaving my decency to cling only to my skin, As if it is on my favorite little black dress. I kicked a ball in it, As the boys whaled 'goale! Goale! Goale' Thinking that since I had a dress for a garment, Then the goal,I would surely miss. And yet I didn't. In my favorite little black dress. That night when I danced with him, I wore it. I could tell my father too, Appreciated how lovely it made me look on this day, As he led me to the dance floor, And yet; I wasn't even the bride. My favorite little black dress.

Life’s all getting and giving, I’ve only myself to give. What shall I do for a living? I’ve only one life to live. End it? I’ll not find another. Spend it? But how shall I best? Sure the wise plan is to live like a man And Luck may look after the rest! Largesse! Largesse, Fortune! Give or hold at your will. If I’ve no care for Fortune, Fortune must follow me still. Bad Luck, she is never a lady But the commonest ***** on the street, Shuffling, shabby and shady, Shameless to pass or meet. Walk with her once—it’s a weakness! Talk to her twice. It’s a crime! ****** her away when she gives you “good day” And the besom won’t board you next time. Largesse! Largesse, Fortune! What is Your Ladyship’s mood? If I have no care for Fortune, My Fortune is bound to be good! Good Luck she is never a lady But the cursedest quean alive! Tricksy, wincing and jady, Kittle to lead or drive. Greet her—she’s hailing a stranger! Meet her—she’s busking to leave. Let her alone for a shrew to the bone, And the ***** comes plucking your sleeve! Largesse! Largesse, Fortune! I’ll neither follow nor flee. If I don’t run after Fortune, Fortune must run after me!

The Wishing-Caps
A tired looking lady With eyebags Crumpled, wrinkled clothes That are too big for her Disguise whatever Little curves remain Her eyes Dull Black She is drenched Striding inside Without a care Like she belongs In her shabby, shabby clothes With her hair A complete mess She is soaked through and through The thunder roars again Muted due to the glass and steel walls She walks in A tiny spark A flash of something In her dull, dull eyes People gossip About perhaps an affair A failed marriage A mental breakdown For one of those reasons Maybe all of them Generally, she comes In the subway Very particular About umbrellas too Today, she carries none Little Miss Particular She walks into The manager's office A letter neatly typed out Black and white Shielded by her brown Worn coat Three sizes too big She has been working For seven years at the firm She puts it on the table Says a polite, 'Thank you, But I cannot do this anymore.' And, she is out Onto the streets Her eyes Still dull A lady with crazy hair The rain pelts down As she disappears Into the fog

Thank You
so this is where it ends still drunk, in a shabby room with half full bottles of liquor last night stuck in your hair, glitter like snowflakes of a single night out’s winter this is where it ends heart broken, shattered in two hung up and longing two years after his name a poison on your lips you refuse to stop tasting this is where it ends wallowing in dreadful self-loathing, contemplating your idle blues, your black hole of sadness the smile you wear is but a painful reminder this is where it ends with your small group of girls, fellow high heeled warriors lip glossed and pretty, shiny hair and perfect skin dressed to the nines, miraculously young and fearless intelligent, outspoken and strong and far from empty too broken to do anything but go on more nights will be filled with hollow, tinkling laughter more nights will be spent lying on floors than waiting in towers all because you forgot them all your forgot his harsh whisper you made up you mind and decided “i love me” and laughed at the sheer terror, the insanity, the undeniable ridiculousness at the end there is just you this is where it ends this is where it ends This is where it ends

This is where it ends
We've heard of a woman's grace, And romantic fables of her charm. But delve beneath the surface, And stir waters outwardly calm. A woman, if pleased is divine And will do plenty to prove her grace. when angry she'll turn serpentine And descend like a meteor from space. She’ll be sarcasm personified, Every sentence riddled with a taunt. You’ll be slandered and vilified, And derided as shabby & gaunt. When pleased she’ll be friendly and chatty And lure you to reveal your fears. But soon she’ll turn vile and catty, And delight in your failures. She won't leave a chance to ridicule And bring up things you’d rather forget. She will attack with every feminine tool, And force you to mull and regret. And when you've had enough of her satire And try to give her a piece of your mind, She will breathe out tons of fire, And to crisp she'll burn your behind. So don't **** a woman to show Her ****** and vindictive side Be a gentleman if you don't want to know That Far from being Jekyll, she's Mr. Hyde

The dark side to the fair ***
fed the birds. fed the birds a book about my dead weight. fed the birds a heavy. fed them from my thin hands. The words that live. The birds ate. The birds ate words that lived and always lived in separate houses. if... and i mean if and only if they could afford it. if these clever pagans ever had a dime. they found it boring rich folk to death. i fed the birds my indigenous nomads. they dined in high style... dined black and fancy on shabby addicts, as they hopped trains . i fed the birds my swarthy tribe. and they supped. i fed the birds a monologue with trains of thought the words i fed them... the vagabonds... hopped trains. of thought. I fed the birds. i fed the birds just outside. i sat and fed them black light and Harmalade fed them blackly fed them with piano keys; the black ones, the ones that radiate i fed i watched them. watched them fancy peck. and peck and fancy pluck. i watched. they dined on serene defeat by technicality. it was surreal to watch a blackbird pluck from black keys - peck a morsel of glum from the black rays, yes. the black rays with opposable thumbs and a lifeline. the only one i know forbidding gypsies with three eyes. an open palm. a paranoid black radish white dwarf star with piano keys for black rays of nimbus, yes mine is the hand that bites the hand that writes the book it wants to ban, that ain't a fan not at all. just an appendage. a pen dirge ? What ? i fed the flock lots I fed the black ones - with dolls' eyes... tucked under wing. i fed them, yes. a book about the size of any welcome malcontent. i fed them sorrows and ellipses with adjacent lawns. wutherings in stately manors, squatting on either side of memory lane, like a bourbon and coke had practically crawled across shards of hard things to break, with a drink in your hand and crawled, well blended down the hatch of enormous, well appointed gothic frogs, that - were mostly refurbished toads with odd columns. i fed the birds, broke out the Good Chi na hang the tantrums ! yes One should expect a rich metaphor to want to watch you eat it's every word or by extension; lick the toad with 15 rooms, three stories, unfit for children and a full staff of Adjectives, highly trained to short-sheet the Bedlam, and fluff the pillories. one should sip the liqueur off the floor, inside the huge and tipsy gorgon and be thankful for the dank and the solid gold flyswatters. they're complementary. take one as you leave out thinking " toads, eat flies.... so it follows...." apropos of nothing, on the ' Good China ', now in the belly of birds, well fed an unwell. a book about my dead-weight's dream to eat fewer flies and more steak. to grow wings. yes.

The birds ate words that lived and always lived in separate houses. if... and i mean if and only if they could afford it. if these clever pagans ever had a dime. they found it boring rich folk to death. i fed the birds my indigenous nomads. they dined in high style... dined black and fancy on shabby addicts, as they hopped trains . i fed the birds my swarthy tribe. and they supped. i fed the birds a monologue with trains of thought the words i fed them... the vagabonds... hopped trains. of thought. I fed the birds. i fed the birds just outside. i sat and fed them black light and Harmalade fed them blackly fed them with piano keys; the black ones, the ones that radiate i fed i watched them. watched them fancy peck. and peck and fancy pluck. i watched. they dined on serene defeat by technicality. it was surreal to watch a blackbird pluck from black keys - peck a morsel of glum from the black rays, yes. the black rays with opposable thumbs and a lifeline. the only one i know forbidding gypsies with three eyes. an open palm. a paranoid black radish white dwarf star with piano keys for black rays of nimbus, yes mine is the hand that bites the hand that writes the book it wants to ban, that ain't a fan not at all. just an appendage. a pen dirge ? What ? i fed the flock lots I fed the black ones - with dolls' eyes... tucked under wing. i fed them, yes. a book about the size of any welcome malcontent. i fed them sorrows and ellipses with adjacent lawns. wutherings in stately manors, squatting on either side of memory lane, like a bourbon and coke had practically crawled across shards of hard things to break, with a drink in your hand and crawled, well blended down the hatch of enormous, well appointed gothic frogs, that - were mostly refurbished toads with odd columns. i fed the birds, broke out the Good Chi na hang the tantrums ! yes One should expect a rich metaphor to want to watch you eat it's every word or by extension; lick the toad with 15 rooms, three stories, unfit for children and a full staff of Adjectives, highly trained to short-sheet the Bedlam, and fluff the pillories. one should sip the liqueur off the floor, inside the huge and tipsy gorgon and be thankful for the dank and the solid gold flyswatters. they're complementary. take one as you leave out thinking " toads, eat flies.... so it follows...." apropos of nothing, on the ' Good China ', now in the belly of birds, well fed an unwell. a book about my dead-weight's dream to eat fewer flies and more steak. to grow wings. yes.

Spring sunshine's loving glance lights a repondant glow in all things young but she is not so kind to the old where man has been exuberant nature is evidenced in decline and decay riotous hedgerows unpruned trees lank lawns while nature prepares to don Easter finery the best you'll get from man is shabby genteel

Somewhere along the line, you changed. You built walls all around you and wore armor against the world, You guarded your heart so well you could behave as though you didn't have one at all, Even now, it's a shabby broken thing but you still have it. Not a heart of stone nor of ice, But a fragile heart of glass Sharpened through all its edges to stop anyone from getting in, To stop the pain from getting out, I understand why you wear armour, That's why I wear it too.

Armour
I was seventy-seven, come August, I shall shortly be losing my bloom; I've experienced zephyr and raw gust And (symbolical) flood and simoom. When you come to this time of abatement, To this passing from Summer to Fall, It is manners to issue a statement As to what you got out of it all. So I'll say, though reflection unnerves me And pronouncements I dodge as I can, That I think (if my memory serves me) There was nothing more fun than a man! In my youth, when the crescent was too wan To embarrass with beams from above, By the aid of some local Don Juan I fell into the habit of love. And I learned how to kiss and be merry--an Education left better unsung. My neglect of the waters Pierian Was a scandal, when Grandma was young. Though the shabby unbalanced the splendid, And the bitter outmeasured the sweet, I should certainly do as I then did, Were I given the chance to repeat. For contrition is hollow and wraithful, And regret is no part of my plan, And I think (if my memory's faithful) There was nothing more fun than a man!

Mops, thistle, bells and whistles; make this, poet. With circus flair, out of fur and shabby things... _make this._

Bells and whistles
Yes she was fragile. Yes she had a fake smile. People conjectured her life was a dream come true Did anyone ever come to ask her out of the blue? No, her life wasn’t a fairy tale. For every time she tried to stay happy, she failed They may call it a castle but it was definitely a jail Who knew behind the smile was craving, Inside she was asking for one saving.   Han, you got it right he was just another stud Trying to take off the petals from the bud      The situation was just like a prisoned bird.   As tears rolled down her red cheeks She wondered what she seeks. This was not how she wanted it to happen. For life was even more darkened. She knew she wasn’t happy, But she didn’t want to make her life more shabby. She kept trying to fight that grudge, And started to live on that chocolate fudge. This was not what her heart was wanting Every time she closed her eyes her brain was shouting. Maybe he wasn’t bad after all Maybe he didn’t want her to fall. But it was too late to decide, Lying in her bed she just wanted to hide. Life had left her with no option Maybe it was time for another love adoption. Yes, she was fragile Yes she had a fake smile. She tried! She tried to build that spark, But she couldn’t, maybe because they had different hearts.
