"shampoo" poems
Is that what we wake up to every day? Fast food and gas stations are forever stamped in the corners of my eyes as they are looking through the glass of minimum wage to the red flashing lights of a man hoping to get back to his children safely. Is life is a pointed dagger then my blade is rusted and dull when I wonder why I even try some days. Do I dare defend my pride and still demand something more than this? Is this a call for engines in the air or wings made of wax? Death would be more alive than waking up to another day of shampoo commercials and microwave dinners. You are always whispering in my ear though dear and telling me that you're more than just a particle flown into my imagination from a world so oh very different than ours. Are your eyes as bright as I imagine? Will the glare from them blind me from the tax collectors whip and will your laughter drown out the screams of onlookers who are throwing peanuts through the bars at my feet? Will your kiss melt me and cause me to fall into wind like leaves in a storm, a tornado of color and beauty..? I lay in bed and my eyes close tightly, my breathing slows and thoughts drip into pits men drown themselves in, the murky waters of nihilistic cynicism... Though my hand will still not be closed around yours when the sun rises, the whisper lets me know you are still awake and searching for me too...

Whisper
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
She makes him sit and unbuttons his shirt Makes him lie back and wets his hair, then Her hands massage shampoo into his scalp She is irresistible, every moment etched on His brain, her sensuous touch, an incredibly Close feeling, as she washes his hair, this is More beautiful than breath, more loving than *** more electric than near, more perfect Than curling up, more intimate than naked.

Intimate
the sounds are there, they come through walls right around the corner they're not visual, they're miserable and in need they're equal opportunity exhibitionists lovers of a family get together, taking everything in parasitic and aware, destitute and stuck but they're also there at the wrong time the wrong time for the person who's alone the wrong time for a person who's disconnected because they want to be enjoying peace and quiet alone by themselves in an old house with summer outside making its noises, crickets trees rustling under a jeweled sky, the pinnacle of up high breathing in the home air of cannibus, lotion and food being disturbed is far from a thought, but unavoidable simultaneously because the house has a strange history the basement floods, and the machinery kicks in the mind ponders as the constellations wander the nights grow and shrink, the body is dry, bone dry the shower is turned on, soap, shampoo lost in the mind on autopilot until the spine stiffens its without a doubt that I'm not alone now a minute ago i was the master of this house a minute ago I was naked in the hallway, smoking a cigar now I've been usurped and I just want to barricade myself in this house that I've live in for 15 years, now i beg for permission to stay just one more night I beg because how could I possibly fight It's my conscious or the pontius pilate I hope it's the former, because if not, blowout the pilot light There's little hope for re-ignition or stellar recognition

Waiting for me after a long shower and shampoo I dry my bronze silky skin and come to you, Your smiling sweetly sitting on the edge of Marble countertop, waiting while your loving gaze at me never drops. I reach out my moist hands, we brush, You shake nervously and seem to turn to mush. Your wondering really how innocent are my fluid motions, I'm smirking, while grasping a scented lotion. You sit there amused blushing from Pink to rainbow, Each angle gives you a new mellow, a glow, wow! I'm missing something , something I pretend to forget, You look impatient now with sighs of regret. You sulk as I glimpse with a lean of my head, through the frame of my door from my now made up bed, I pull up my slacks, your sunny smile fades to dreary, I put on my shirt, your turning the evil fairy. I know you feel there's someone else, Some disappearing genie or magical elf, because you sense but never see, Me happy in other pleasant company. You want to be all over me that much is clear. I want to take you too in my arms dear, But today will have to be just that touch, Your lingering smell on me makes others lust. But silently you understand, Your sealed mouth is as dry as sand, I blow a kiss as I pick up my key, I know in the dark you'll wait for me................ Because your MY perfume

Perfume
Bilang mga pilipino Nakaugalian na nating Bumili ng bagay bagay ng Pa tingi-tingi, Tulad ng Sigarilyo, Kendi, Shampoo And marami pang iba. Bakit nga ba natin ginagawa ito? Ito ba'y dahil Tayo'y nag titipid, kaya tayo'y dumudukot lang ng pa-pirapiraso, O baka naman, Ayaw lang natin Na may mga bagay na nasasayang Pero kahit ano pang Aspeto ito, Nadala na natin ito Hanggang sa paglaki. Nasanay na tayong Umasta ng patingi-tingi Pati sa pakiki-salamuha Natin sa kapwa Tingi-tingi na din, Tingi-tinging mga ngiti, tingi-tinging mga halik, Tingi-tinging mga kwento, Pero ang pinaka masaklap Sa lahat ng ito ay, Tingi-tinging debosyon Sa panginoon. Na dinudukot lang natin ang mga pirasong, Tugma sa Sa ating mga problema Ang mga piraso, Na nagpapasarap Sa atin piling, Hindi natin ito kailanman Hinahayaang turuan tayo, At itama sa ating mga Pagkakamali. Tulad ng mga bersiculo Ng biblia Tinabas-tabas natin ang mga Kasuluksulukan Na banal sa libro. Binulsa lang Natin ang pagmamahal ni Cristo, Dudukutin lang Pag kailangan. Kapag tayoy nalulumbay, Sabik na sabik Sa mga bisig Ng iba. Si ay ating Kinakalimutan Sa panahon Ng kaligayahan. Tinatawag Lang siya Kapag tayo'y may Kailangan. Na sa oras ng kagipitan, Sinisigaw ang kaniyang Ngalan. Sana matandaan natin Na tayo'y Binili ng buo, Gamit ang buhay Na hindi binigay ng Tingi-tingi Pero binigay ng buong buo. Hindi lang isang Patak ng dugo, Pero buong pagkatao, Ibinuhos para lang sayo. Kaya, Tigilan na Nating ang patingi-tinging asal, Tigilan nalang Natin ang pagpapakipot Sa taong Nagmamayari satin. Tayo'y hindi tingi, tayo'y buo.

Jellyfish stew, I'm loony for you, I dearly adore you, Oh,truly I do, You are creepy to see, Revolting to chew, You slide down inside With. Hullabaloo. You're soggy,you're smelly, Ou taste like shampoo, You bog own my belly With oodles of goo, Yet I would glue noodles And punes to m shoe, For one oozy spoonful Of jellyfish stew

Jellyfish stew
Hanggat maari ayaw ko pa sanang Iligpit ang mga pinggan at ilang kubyertos Na ginamit natin, ang damit **** Nakasampay sa ulunan ng higaan natin, Ang mga basyo ng lotion, shampoo, at Pabango na naiwan mo, lahat sila itinabi Ko, kasama ang damdamin kong binuo Mo sa maikling panahon na naglagi ka, Dito kung saan iniwan mo ako. Dumating na naman ang summer, at Heto ako, inaalala ang plinano nating Forever. Ang alon sa dalampisagan, Ang mga piraso ng batong inipon mo't Sinilid sa sisidlan ng tarheta, hanggang Ngayon binibilang-bilang ko pa, tila mga Patak Ng luha na hindi na titila. Ang dalawang Pirasong damit mo, ayun, nakasabit pa, Sa dingding na naging saksi sa mga Sandaling hiniram natin sa tag-araw. Dumating na naman ang summer, at Heto, ang dalampasigan, pinagmamasdan Ko, nagsasabing may forever...

I got sick of shaving Every day So I started growing a beard For a while, it was technically stubble But now it would make William T. Riker proud Or at least smile and nod in approval At the effort I bought a beard trimmer at Walgreens And I trimmed that ***** Made it nice and even But it itches a lot So I have to use dandruff shampoo on it when I can I get compliments on it From my mom and my brother Whose beard should belong to a Canadian lumberjack (Not my mom, my brother) I love this beard But I still get the urge to shave it completely And return to baby-face

the way he says goodnight
She's taken your body wash, and used it without permission. She's used it twice before and presumed it would be fine to take it again. You never gave consent. You even said No. She's used it twice before so what's a third time, or a fourth or even a fifth, she's just hoping you won't snitch and tell someone she stole something from you... Your confidence or your peach shampoo? She lied about the temperature of the bath water, you were supposed to drown before you felt the heat, but you didn't and now you're tearing your skin to shreds, Self-destruction on the first date, how sweet. She wants you to wash your mouth out, you said something you shouldn't and now she's mad, feeling sorry for you is in the past, the new thing is drowning you in the bath. Your heads now under water, feet kicking the floor. She's doused you with her perfume, just to see you choke against the wooden frame of the door.

One bathroom, to three girls.
Unmoved by your arrival from the west coast, ten thousand little things are different. It’s October and the trees are on fire: a forge that you won't notice, 'til you're gold. Your Kicks don’t leave footprints on these cobbled streets; even the children have old, leathery hands. Try to paddle-board the Eno and the bass go belly-up: that river’s for scattering ashes and making moonshine. All they sell at Aldi is ethnic shampoo, so now your hair twists like the roots you’ve lacked 'til now, because all you’ll ever need is two hands: for prayer, and work. Life moves on like a cigarette’s drag, while somewhere Hope’s fiddle strums; Take off your headphones and go put your ear to an oak.

This is Appalachia
You will never know, I will never tell the speed My heart raced when we finally kissed that day That instant liberation from every other need Felt like we were the ones for Shakespeare's next play Your perfume and shampoo smelled like a garden My conscious self flash backed to my last shower You finally tamed this creature out of the barred den The thirst is quenched, this lion king has found his lost power

LIBERATION
of course i ********** every night, otherwise i'd be wondering about the next Laika in space with some next soviet conspiracy Sputnik hovering while i chance abbreviate a change on hairstyling thinking: jeez, this is a little bit too afro frizzy for a brainstorm, maybe i better opt for Jamaican dreads? economics of shampoo usage, suddenly a large bank account. i do get the idea behind treating nouns like albinos... bleach the ******* hang them to dry in Polaroids... while commercial flights fly at a certain height, and the rich buggers fly high enough to jet-stream in the cirrus uncinus bracket... and they lie to children, they're talking about strange satellites... i can't see satellites, not without Galileo's excommunication apparatus, satellites, as far as i am concerned orbit the earth in a non-visible spectrum of the vacuum... hence their orbiting outside of the visible spectrum atmosphere of the earth, i would not be able to see a satellite for the love of Michaelangelo.

Jamaican dreads
(athena) the sweaty, jacked-up summer is approaching quick fired from the mouth of april like a bullet from a handgun (aphrodite) we are fast, beautiful ***** like gasoline on someone’s palm ***** like fences that hold gardens of shredded tires ***** like blood dried on the sidewalk in the shape of a tightened fist (athena) ***** sneakers and ***** hair (aphrodite) with shampoo that never got washed all the way out (athena) ***** because of how we love (aphrodite) sharp-beautiful-longing! (athena) with our hands on other girls’ knees and thighs like birds out of their cage or the statue of liberty punching her light into a sky that holds as much desire as it holds stars (aphrodite) nameless-bursting-burning! (athena) rough and sweet and fresh from hell crawling to emancipation just wanting to love just wanting to live (aphrodite) just wanting to move her hair out of her face with our thumbs (athena) asking to be allowed to want what we are not supposed to have (aphrodite) quivering (athena) hot and sweaty like little kids under the covers with a flashlight reading harold and the purple crayon (aphrodite) but there is no flashlight this time (athena) and no picture book

in the year 2017, athena and aphrodite are gay
The oil is gone, gone is the oil, There is no oil for us to boil, To power our cars, To package our bars, We need oil, oil, precious oil, How we miss our material plastic, We made everything out of it, it was fantastic! Car batteries and glue, Computers, shampoo, All made out of precious oil, Alas, it’s shuffled off its mortal coil, Goodbye, goodbye to our fair oil, Without our plastic, Things are quite drastic, All our cars are beyond repair, There’s no more shampoo for our hair, And on what do you think we do a poo, Plastic toilet seats you cry, it tell you, that’s not true! You don’t even know how I’m typing this, Computers are gone now – don’t dis! Life really ***** without oil, In 2011, it must have been royal, A word of wisdom to those with oil about, Look after it dearly, don’t let it run out!

Life with Oil - 2051
You have stars in your hands and you hold them like grenades. The boats tattooed on your thighs spread out like finger placements of the G major chord. Synthetic drugs make chains tying your first and second fingers around the mechanically rolled paper, canvasing your throat like too much sea water, each breath as rough as the veins in your arms. Close your eyes there’s pollen in the air spread out like imperfections on the skin of an apple. Solar countries keep foreign coins sewed into their cotton sails, they put their money into the navy. You have a comet in your circulatory system leaving bright spots under your skin a reminder to gather the sunshine back under your eyelashes. Hand soap in ketchup packets make bubble bath islands and unhappy lips. You’re as talkative as a poem and as expensive as a poppy with homemade constellations on your back, staining your lumbar muscles with cherries. I can’t wash off your fingerprints with my favourite shampoo. I’ll swim across the Georgia Strait, dodge your dinghies and make a home in handmade ships where I’ll practice erasing scars from my arms and washing the soap from my hair.

The sun in your irises
The boy haden't bathed in over a month His **** crack was itching and burning His underpants were soaked in slimy, wet muck And his toes a thick jam were churning His armpits stank worse than a fat pigs raw *** His breath smelled like rancid fish His hair was so oily, matted to his head His own mother wouldn't give him a kiss "Enough!" he cried as a passing fly died When he raised his arm to exclaim. "I must bathe right away! I am long overdue!" "I sure hope the washcloths are brave." "To the bathroom man!" He shouted as he ran And his underpants sloppily squished "I will remove this filth and brush my green teeth" "And my mother I will kiss!" "The closet's ahead!" He said as he sped. And he stopped there to get some stuff. Some soap, some shampoo and a towel or two. But he knew that it wasn't enough. Look though he might, to his horror and fright, Not a single washcloth could he find. Then panic set in 'cause the stink of his skin Was driving him out of his mind. He looked yet again but to his chagrin The washcloth shelf was bare. The washcloths had run off For they would not wash So filthy a boy on a dare "Oh what will I do!" "Boo-hoo, boo-hoo!" The boy cried as flies swarmed his head. "I'd **** myself but I already smell" "Far worse than anything dead!" Then one washcloth came back Holding it's nose and a sack Of bath salts that smelled like dill. It said to the boy "Go pickle yourself!" "And give me a nausea pill!" So the boy rejoiced and filled the tub With water, hot as he could stand. And using the bath salts, he jumped right in And the pickling began. He lathered the washcloth with water and soap And scrubbed with all of his might. Away he washed all of the filth 'Til none was left in sight. He washed his hair and brushed his teeth And dried and dressed himself well. And the washcloth exclaimed as it hung on the tub "Holy crap! that was pure hell!" So the boy now clean ran to be seen By his mother he loved so much. And she gave him a kiss and said "This is pure bliss!" "I can kiss you and keep down my lunch!" The moral I'll tell you and true I will be So no one will say that I lied. Don't wait a whole month to take a bath Or you washcloths may run and hide.

I used to sing in the shower Dance like I was in the rain Watch all of my worries Be washed down the drain I’d use all the hot water up The mirror covered in steam So the bathroom was foggy Like on a cloud, in a dream I’d wash my body with soap That smelled just of a daisy So I was clean and sweet Then I’d shampoo like crazy I used to sing in the shower But that was when I had him When he left I was drowning And he knew I can’t swim So now I sit in the shower No dancing like in the rain Because each time I cry And I remember the pain

Shower
I heard in a song that you’re only as good as your last mistake. And I’ve never been more thankful for humans ability to make millions. So you’ll never be my last, because I’m better than that. Burning toast and eating it anyway. Buying shampoo when I actually needed conditioner. Showing up late to a meeting. Missing the first day of class. Studying for an exam two hours before it starts. Not turning in an assignment because I just simply didn’t want to do it. Not leaving my pajamas or bed when there’s so much to do. Apologizing when they bumped into me. Lying to people who care, I’m okay. Not locking my door. Walking alone at night. I’d rather be defined by all of these things than you.

Mistakes
I can feel the gentle, rhythmic breathing And the tepid touch of your skin Soon the sun will rise, And you must go to class But you will mutter an excuse Just to stay a minute more with me I can hear your soft snores, And muffled moans Soon we will succumb to summer, And it’s malicious motives, To bisect your beauty, From my greedy grasp I can smell the shampoo That I will never smell again For I will move, And you will move, A Dispossessed Connection Though our spring may have ceased Our wilted whispers will never wane Though my bed may be devoid I’ll remember where you had lain. I’ll remember our long laughs And your sweet smile, more stunning than the stars I’ll remember our wishful words And the times that were ours.

To our love
I am ragged and Dismembered In velveteen splendour. Assembled by a drunk, Who couldn't remember What loveliness Looked like. I'm too tall for my height. You are pulpy and bright Like today's magazines. Your eyes are spotless like Ironed jeans, And they fold and crease in smiles at me. You find me funny. I am sterile and naked And aching with Tension. I'll bend into positions to Get your attention. I am fixed in the curb, and you gather the nerve to cope with my most unnerving dimensions. (I love you. I forget to mention.) You've never indulged in petty *** You wrap my arms around Your neck, like I'm a scarf. I make you laugh. You've never been out on the scene. You've never found yourself between two strangers in a darkened room. Bedroom theatre's not for you. Nor costume. You've never smoked. You've never drank so much You've choked on hot-bodied ***** and collapsed in the road. You had four pints of beer and I watched you explode. From your skin I lick atoms of the sky and shampoo. You are dripping with hygiene, You are clear, you are blue. In mirrors you stand and watch me watching you.

hygiene
# *The Muse of Whimsy has arrived.   I really feel the need To take a break from poignant and my impish humor feed. A silly prank's in order so I'll leave some noggin bear By filling up their shampoo bottle with a cup of hair removal "Nair". I'll put a rubber hot dog in some hungry knot head's bun. Watching his expression should be worth a lot of fun. Humiliation is a blast when dignity is lost. If someone's feelings are the price. well then it's worth the cost. Somebody always loses if your heart is made of stone Laughter is contagious but leave well enough alone. Compassion is the brakes you use when things get out of hand. Laugh, but pass the laughter on then most people will understand.* #

April Fools
So close to your scent, I feel I should pay rent. Something you will not know you smell, until a time comes when you go. And suddenly everything smells like that. WHAT IS THAT SMELL? And you calculate the ingredients to the potion of that smell.. A smell you know so well.. But you can not list it's properties You are it's only property. A smell you can not tell the smell of. And when we're back again the smell almost goes, it gets camp set up and lost inside my nose. You enter the world of this smell, it's warm and it's cozy, it's familiar and almost dusty. It smells like skin. Which smells like nothing. It smells like hair Which smells like something. It smells like breath without a particular scent. It smells like clothes and armpits. It smells like a sample scent of another world. Which I am nosing around It smells like all of your belongings and all the things that you do put into one familiar you. It smells like sawdust, it smells like dog walking, it smells like toast, it smells like early morning, it smells of the coast, it smells of laptop, it smells of toothpaste, it smells like tents. It smells of carpets, It smells of washing powder, It smells of your house and your power shower, It smells like Apple shampoo and all the other things that you like to do. It smells like you.
