"skunks" poems
nobody loses all the time i had an uncle named Sol who was a born failure and nearly everybody said he should have gone into vaudeville perhaps because my Uncle Sol could sing McCann He Was A Diver on Xmas Eve like Hell Itself which may or may not account for the fact that my Uncle Sol indulged in that possibly most inexcusable of all to use a highfalootin phrase luxuries that is or to wit farming and be it needlessly added my Uncle Sol’s farm failed because the chickens ate the vegetables so my Uncle Sol had a chicken farm till the skunks ate the chickens when my Uncle Sol had a skunk farm but the skunks caught cold and died and so my Uncle Sol imitated the skunks in a subtle manner or by drowning himself in the watertank but somebody who’d given my Uncle Sol a Victor Victrola and records while he lived presented to him upon the auspicious occasion of his decease a scruptious not to mention splendiferous funeral with tall boys in black gloves and flowers and everything and i remember we all cried like the Missouri when my Uncle Sol’s coffin lurched because somebody pressed a button (and down went my Uncle Sol and started a worm farm)

Nobody Loses All The Time
Midnight’s glowing solstice moon From moonrise to moonset- She feels, hears, sees Magic, crickets, skunks, dew- She’s summer.

Her Solstice Heart
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hills The kinfolk were drinkin' as they tend to their stills The longjohns were hung by the chimney with care No stockings were found, just underwear The children were nestled so high in their bunks Their quilts made of skins from rabbits and skunks Granny with her false teeth and gun on her knee Was waiting for Santa as she sat by the tree From out of the barn there arose such a noise We thought it was Grandpa drinkin' with the boys But what to my wandering eye should appear It was just cousin Cleatus in mama's brassiere And then from the rooftop we heard it at last Like the sound of thunder or a shot gun blast We have Christmas dinner, it's finally here Granny kidnapped Santa while we shot his deer Venison all covered with onions for stew And even old Santa enjoyed some too His belly was full when he walked out the door But he couldn't resist when we offered him more Well that's the story of our Christmas here Merry Christmas to all 'til the same time next year © All Rights Reserved

OHIO MY HOME Ohio my childhood home a simpler life an innocent time a place where corn fields go on for miles and miles the fields wave and sway beckoning you to make secret forts in their midst the original corn maze in there we eat cow corn never thinking to ask was it fresh or clean? it was organic at its best playing in the water down at the “crick” no such worries of a chemical spill no one got sick no parents around nobody drowned tornadoes come by what a scary thrill mother nature at her worst toppling trees each way providing us a strange place to play in between the branches we made our mansions safe maybe not... but we played anyway far from the city lights we spend our nights watching natural sights fireflies glowing looking for love the tree frogs are singing out for a mate mother raccoons bring their young from the nest skunks delight us with their odorous best in an eerie alien fog ufo’s hovering over the tall trees in the front yard all under the moons sight as i close my eyes i can see Ohio my memory home

I mourn for skunks. The squashed, flattened masses ***** mashed, their stripes scattered Matted  masks disguising unseeing eyes Through how many fields have they run? Once sweet babies, small noses, downlike fur fleeing to their final place from green leafed bowers in a terrible act of asphalt bait n' switch Let us all grieve the sacrifice which, Unto the motor gods Has been served.

Everybody has those days you know the one's I mean where no matter what you try and do you just stand back and scream plans go all asunder and things go all to hell You should have stayed under the covers shut your eyes, ignored the bell You've had them, that I'm sure of When the toast burns, coffee too The dog ate the kids homework What are you supposed to do? The car door was left open It won't start, but that's all right Because someone stole the left side tires While you were sleeping through the night One step forward Three steps back The dance of all concerned One step forward Three steps back Move fast or you'll get burned Water running down the staircase The toilet overflowed once more not to mention all the water behind the locked bathroom door it's great the kids are learning the different things in this world wide like how different things will happen when you let a skunk in from outside a stiff drink would be lovely would make the problem disappear but, your oldest drank your whiskey and you've only got two near beer skunks and cars, and broken phones just a day in all our lives that's why doctors tell new husbands time to lock up all the knives One step forward Three steps back The dance of all concerned One step forward Three steps back Move fast or you'll get burned The dance is one we all know best intentions laid to rest you'll never quite get where you're going until you first pass all the tests just smile and keep moving don't let it get you down the dance is not selective it picks on everyone in town remember.. One step forward Three steps back The dance of all concerned One step forward Three steps back Move fast or you'll get burned

There are skunks in there every night burrowing into the yawning parts of my wife’s dream-filled mind. Night by night, their numbers increase— as black as her stare, as pure as her smile. Backs that bear the white-tipped senses of God. They float through as an endless dark stream that glistens with my motives, and confirms my drunken pleasures— beaming out the secrets of my every move, my grief, my thorns. The truth is a cage. My mind is my dungeon. She says the skunks are the alcohol. I say they’re the dogs. She says maybe they’re everything. And she was gone before I could move.

They Come on the Backs of Skunks
Written November 2008 Somtimes when I get bored My mind starts to wander. My head flies away to faraway lands Filled with talking bunnies, skunks, and squirrels And ticking clocks Swallowed up.....by alligators. But even in this rhelm Of extraordinary things There is still that boy Who runs away from me; My prince charming. I call to him, To let me in; To know the secrets in his head. But still he flies Into the skies Of Never-Never Land.

4am and my eyes are killing me, and I'm dull and sore and **** **** **** **** **** Leaning against an arcade booth of Street Fighter 2 watching them dance in green lazer lights. We decided to go back to her friend's place. Her friend got wine, he got beer. He ****** in the bushes. Admitted he was drunk. On the roof of her friend's apartment, I ****** down a cold coffee, and we played acoustic music. We climbed higher on the roof. They smoked and drank, and just generally shot the **** Something bad happened between him and her; she ran off crying, he's calling her a child, a baby. He's pretending he's not mad, pretending he's in control of his emotions while lashing out. Throws a beer bottle, decides to leave. She practically begs him for a ride home. Me and her friend want so badly for her to stay. Stay. She leaves with him. Drunk and ****** to drive her home. I start walking home soon after. I get lost on a street. It's 2am and I'm jumping up and down waving my hands, trying to get someone to just tell me where I am. A man across the street must be taking out garbage, I walk across the street and say, "Excuse me sir?" He shouts, "No! Go back across the street! NO!" like I'm a ******* wild animal. I ask him, "Can you just tell me where Bluestone is?" He tells me to go north. His input is useless. I hope he dies of pancreatic cancer. I kick a can and yell, **** all of you, collectively!" to the suburban nightmare I'm trapped in. "I hope they nuke this ******* **** stain neighborhood!" Kick an empty Arizona can in contempt and disgust. I have a small monologue with myself and almost break down on the sidewalk. Walk back to practically where I came from, and take the long way home. On my way I pass a stranger who asks, "Dig?" No ******* idea what they meant. I dodge the skunks and grab a hubcap. Wanted a trinket. I think I'm gonna have a ******* aneurism.

When peace finally comes A softness in the winds The fires are gone The quiet has come Except for the nightbirds which sing their songs The shadows get long Children's egos disintegrate Meltdowns fry the atmosphere The skunks come out Moonlight after twilight Sometimes to linger Call out to the coyotes Get old but stay young.

Moon After Twilght
Ross was a fullblooded bronze-skinned buddy from the Navajo Nation. He was a diehard Okie, and a machine gunner, carried the M-sixty with twenty pounds of extra belted-ammo. He was a big guy, had brown deep-set eyes, high cheeks and not a single hair on his burly body, but some high and tight pitch bristles on his head. He had a weakness. Pure Straight Whiskey. Whenever he had too much, he was an F5 tornado, a wild Tasmanian devil, to be reckoned with. I remember when he had his front top teeth knocked out by some civilian bouncers at a local drinking establishment. He kicked the **** out of three huge muscle guys. It was him versus them. A regular melee. Ross won. Once on a Saturday night, drunk as skunks, we made an illegal turn on the Interstate south of Denver. We ended up flying down the highway with four hundred feet of wire attached to wooden poles, sent sparks flying everywhere. I never saw a guy laugh so hard in all my life. He ****** himself hysterically. We gave Ross his first Native American name. We were out in the field, just hanging out in battle gear, shooting the **** around our APC. We called him Prancing Moose, Moose for short. He loved it when we called him that, gave us a toothless grin. He was a warrior to us. In another time and place, he might have been a Chief. He was courageous, fearless and a good friend to have in your side. From time to time, I think about him, and pray he's okay, still alive. He was our blood brother. We were in hell together. I miss him, too.

There's woods outside of town aways that I will not go near There's tales of ghosts and monsters And I don't like the things I hear There's screeching noises unlike those Any animal can make Even in the daylight Those woods just make me shake I've heard tales of people who Let their dogs out after dark They come back, all scared and skittered And they never ever bark There's something in those woods I say Strong magic is around There's tales of children disappearing Never to be found Three years ago I walked on past And I heard a noise....real close I swore something was watching me It may have been a ghost On Halloween, the woods light up With magic from within No one dares to venture there They'll not be seen again Some nights when the moon is full The noises fill the air Of screeching, howling wild beasts Of things covered in hair I've only seen one bird around The entrance to the wood It's a single, lonely raven And to me that isn't good Raccoons, and skunks and squirrels I never see them near this place It's inhabited by demons It's never known god's grace The stories aren't the sort that Make you want to see What is in the woods that howls I won't go in ...not me The woods have always been there And the stories have been too I know the sounds scare me to death And I'm sure, they'd scare you too Don't venture near the woods at night Don't go there in the day Just leave them to their darkness It's just best to stay away

what were you doing near my house Coyote? were the poachers chasing you off? Did the rumbles of trucks scare you inland? I have an arroyo as my neighbor with jack rabbits and snakes with crickets the size of urban cockroaches barely any humans only the ones true to nature walk the rocky trail but you... I am confused Mr Coyote why were you not coming from the arroyo? You cannot buy food at the Albertsons and the gas stations dont let you in The village inn wont serve you and the campus is sealed by skunks and their ghastly---wind Fast food makes no sense to you all your food is fast so I'm lost in where youre coming from old friend the native spirit of my soul has come once again Old coyote As if you had been lost in the residential homes of El Chuco and simply searching for me.

i am sitting on the bridge i grew up on, where it smells like skunks. no one minds. i am listening to four creatures soaring way over head. then there's the crickets, the tree frogs, the breeze through the leaves. the soft  brushing of this pen hitting the paper. my breaths through a stuffy nose, leaves interrupting the creek's flow, ever so slightly, a few rocks and branches deciding it's time to change location from the top of the hill, to the bottom, and a comforting whistle i cannot identify. and that one being, maybe a tree frog, that sounds like maracas shaking or a basking tambourine. the footsteps of a stranger, maybe a friend, but the rhythm sounds foreign, heavy. when i close my eyes, it's now Mt. Pocono 1998. i am there. acorns and pine cones introducing themselves to earth. all the spiders in the world building their webs, their homes, the whispery rushed sound. and if you listen long enough, someone mowing their lawn, another driving too fast, always in a hurry, could be anyone. all i know at this point is, it's not me

discovery of a new species
Nobody Loses All The Time nobody loses all the time i had an uncle named Sol who was a born failure and nearly everybody said he should have gone into vaudeville perhaps because my Uncle Sol could sing McCann He Was A Diver on Xmas Eve like Hell Itself which may or may not account for the fact that my Uncle Sol indulged in that possibly most inexcusable of all to use a highfalootin phrase luxuries that is or to wit farming and be it needlessly added my Uncle Sol’s farm failed because the chickens ate the vegetables so my Uncle Sol had a chicken farm till the skunks ate the chickens when my Uncle Sol had a skunk farm but the skunks caught cold and died and so my Uncle Sol imitated the skunks in a subtle manner or by drowning himself in the watertank but somebody who’d given my Uncle Sol a Victor Victrola and records while he lived presented to him upon the auspicious occasion of his decease a scruptious not to mention splendiferous funeral with tall boys in black gloves and flowers and everything and i remember we all cried like the Missouri when my Uncle Sol’s coffin lurched because somebody pressed a button (and down went my Uncle Sol and started a worm farm) —by ee cummings

I'm a homeless skunk wandering in the jungle. dwelling in bushes and trees shrugging to make a living. I don't have a place called home, Running and sick of pleasing. I won't eat dinner because I'm not one in the listing. I don't have a private space to store my valuable belongings Neither nor for rest, where an old sofa is my bedding. Hard work and passion isn't an issue and I crave for good sleep. Peanut is what I got During month ends and second week I'm in a big hole of trouble but I'm not backing off. Problems are a common thing when you're in a sliding slope. Say, There is a *** of gold in a little powder shed of understanding. when fixing of the broken cracks, is needing much help and pleading And I lost a lot of friends, but gained a few that's real, Skunks themselves wandering looking for a home and a heal.

Homeless Skunk
When we last saw Noah, He was about to embark On a long, stormy journey Aboard his mighty ark. For forty days and nights The heavens constantly drained Their waters upon the earth, For it rained and rained and rained-- Covering the towering Mt. Everest, And the great Kilimanjaro. Noah exclaimed, "It's raining Like there's no tomorrow!" Ham and Shem said, "Dad, With our small, measly crew, Feeding one million species Is kind of hard to do." Noah pointed outside And looked at his sons and said, "I suppose instead of in HERE, You'd rather be out there--dead!" That shut up the boys Who attended to their tasks, Saying, "We're feeding the lions In case anyone asks." Shem whispered to Ham, "I like that lion, but she Is always licking her chops Whenever SHE sees ME!" Ham said, "That kangaroo, Who looks so calm and mellow, Has a nasty kick. He's not a very nice fellow." After many days, The waters receded; then Yay! They were back on dry land; All could go their own way. The Bengal tigers went east; The penguins headed south; The skunks and beavers went west-- According to word of mouth. Noah grabbed an animal For a sacrifice quick and succinct, And turned to his sons saying, "Oops! I JUST made one species extinct." Ham, Shem, and Japheth, Had little time for mirth, For now it was up to them To repopulate the earth. Growing grapes for wine To Noah was time well spent, Until he got drunk and naked-- All sprawled out in his tent. Walking in on his father, Ham saw a sight not so splendid And ended up with a *** deal-- (Silly pun intended)-- For Noah cursed poor Ham For having walked in on him. So what if a guy saw him naked; Hadn't he been to a gym? Actually, the curse Was more on Canaan, Ham's son. How had poor Canaan managed To be the guilty one? I guess that's the nature of curses; They don't always make much sense. There also wasn't a lawyer To come to Canaan's defense. To live to be 950 Requires a very strong ticker. But Noah had a weakness: Trouble holding his liquor. - by Bob B *Sequel to "Noah's Dilemma"

How wonderful to live in Freeport, Maine Where beautiful women and handsome men In youth eternal rock their five-bar boots And flannel shirts in happy, snowy scenes Where laughter echoes through those forest glades Forever free of electrical lines Skunks burrowing under the cabin floor And neighbors’ overflowing septic tanks Oh, what a dreamy life for you and me In Freeport, Zip Code 04033! (Just having a little fun; everything I’ve bought from L.L. Bean’s catalogue is wonderful!  I’d love to live in the perfect New England scenes depicted in the catalogue. If you squint your eyes carefully you can see Bob Newhart’s inn on page…)
